Verizon Delays Launch of Droid Charge
"We've experienced unexpected delays with the launches but once we have an announcement about the dates we'll let you know." In the customers can go to Verizon stores and put their names down to be contacted once the Charge is available.
Last week we reported that the DDroid Charge, Samsung's first LTE phone was supposed to hit stores on Thursday.
Then on Wednesday, Verizon acknowledged that its four-month-old 4G LTE network was down, preventing any new LTE device activations. The network was officially restored on Thursday, according to Verizon, but we are eagerly waiting for an explanation to the sudden, nationwide outage.
Mark Raby of TGDaily reported Friday that the Droid Charge will launch on May 3. However Verizon would not confirm any specific date.
The Samsung Droid Charge runs on Android 2.2 "Froyo" and a 1GHz processor, and features a 4.3-inch Super AMOLED screen, an 8-megapixel rear-facing camera with LED flash, and a 1.3-megapixel front-facing camera for photos and video chatting. The Droid Charge's Web browser will support Adobe Flash and come loaded with Samsung Media Hub, which features movies and TV shows to rent or buy.
The smartphone is one ten 4G LTE devices Verizon announced at CES in January.
Editor's note: This story was corrected at 12:30pm ET. The HTC Droid Incredible 2 hit Verizon online stores on Thursday, as planned. We apologize for the error.

Johannesburg -
Two men were arrested for possession of a suspected stolen vehicle near Tembisa after a car chase on Tuesday, Gauteng police said.
A police reservist, who was on his way home, noticed a car travelling at high speed and followed it, said Lt-Col Katlego Mogale.
He called for back up from the flying squad.
"The suspects noticed police on the Tembisa/Kempton Park ramp. The suspects jumped out of their vehicle and fled into the nearby cornfields," she said.
The two men were arrested, and a firearm was found in their possession.
Police later established that the Audi they were travelling in was reported as used in a hijacking in Doornkloof.
The pair are due to appear in court soon facing charges of possession of an unlicensed firearm and ammunition, and possession of a suspected stolen motor vehicle. - Sapa

"The Alchemist", Witchcraft's third full length album, saw its release with the band on unsteady ground with consistent lineup turbulence. Following this album, founder, Magnus Pelander, put the band on an extended hiatus (ultimately lasting five years). Magnus and company's previous outings are held in very high regard in the retro doom revival scene, so the shoes that needed filling were quite large. Was Witchcraft able to deliver a solid album amidst the internal strife?
"The Alchemist" can be seen as the continuation of their eponymously named debut and their sophomore classic, "Firewood". It's a continuation because, while Witchcraft does dabble with new elements, "The Alchemist" has the same analog sound and uncanny late 60's to early 70's classic rock vibe that was so prevalent earlier in their career. If nothing else, this can be seen as a journey into the more stoner rock occupied realms of music, while still retaining that classic, retro doom feel.
The guitars are layered with reverb and fuzz. The riffs are definitely Pentagram inspired, but contain far more groove than the doom legends. Groove laden licks and extrapolations trail just about every chorus, sounding vaguely similar to "The Elephant Riders" era Clutch. Witchcraft have always had a knack for writing catchy riffs that embody the essence of the 1970's doom scene, and "The Alchemist" is no exception, with sections venturing into Iommi inspired heaviness. The riffs are very classic rock inspired, like a slightly heavier, less proggy Uriah Heep. The soloing is casual with a very strong blues influence with hammer ons and pull offs. While some sloppy sections are present, it's a much more professional presentation than previous efforts.
Ola Henriksson's bass lines are as inventive as ever, wandering all over the place and filling any airspace left over behind the guitars. The bass performance is far from the ordinary follow the leader style, with constant fret walking. Fredrik Jansson's drumming is slightly faster paced than Witchcraft's earlier albums, but by no means is it fast. There is still a very laid back feel to the drumming, with rolling fills and heavy cymbal work. "Samaritan Burden" shows the rhythm section in top form, with jazz inspired drumming and a very funky walking bass line The strong classic rock vibe to the rhythm section highlights the excellent vocals and groove laden guitar lines.
Once again, the highlight of the album is vocalist slash guitarist, Magnus Pelander. Sounding similar to Bobby Liebling or a clearer, less whiny Ozzy Osbourne, only somehow sounding younger than both, the vocals are both captivating and slightly haunting. Magnus finally shows that he is not a one trick pony, adding some more elements to his retro doom styled approach. Previous releases showed that he could sing like the greats, but Magnus never added his own flair to the style. "The Alchemist" shows him bringing his own edge to the music, with an occasional gruffness trailing off at the end of lines and hints of deeper ranges mixed in, bordering on a quiet shout.
In continuing with the retro feel of the album, Witchcraft incorporate some additional instrumentation, including saxophone, mellotron and organ. The saxophone line over the prog influenced "Remembered" is tasteful, but I can't help but associate saxophone music with cheesy Steve Gutenburg movies. The mellotron work on the ending track ("The Alchemist") is stellar, invoking "Deadwing" era Porcupine Tree, while still retaining the classic feel to the music. The extra instrumentation is most notable at the end of "Samaritan Burden", where Jethro Tull inspired folk and flute is thrown into the mix.
The production on "The Alchemist" is a huge step up from previous Witchcraft releases. Every instrument still sounds like it was recorded on analog, but the muddiness and haze covering instruments and the vocals is gone, making a much cleaner presentation. The drums are less tinny, the vocals are clearer and the guitars sound like they were recorded in a proper studio rather than in a friend's garage.
"The Alchemist" is a much more approachable album than Witchcraft's previous outings, with increased production values present while retaining a retro vibe. Fans of Witchcraft's other albums will definitely enjoy this, as it's pretty much a continuation of what they've done before. Amidst the turmoil of constant line up changes, Magnus Pelander and crew were able to release an excellent album before, unfortunately, going on a five year break. "The Alchemist" is a great starting point for anyone looking to sample some retro doom revivalism.

John Daly had nothing to do with the design of John Daly's Murder Rock Golf and Country Club. He simply sold his name to the developer, though he occasionally makes suggestions about tweaks to the golf course.
The course is 6,600 yards from the back tees and has been called "lady friendly" by Murder Rock officials. It has few forced carries, and many of the greens are open in front, qualities many women enjoy.
The front nine at Murder Rock plays down in a valley through the hills, while the back nine climbs along a high, spiny ridge with views seemingly into infinity; the Ozarks are all around you and below you. The back nine has the more dramatic holes, as well as views.
Aside from the confusing marketing, this is a fine golf course. It isn't in the same league with Branson Creek Golf Club, but it's unfair to compare it against one of the best golf courses in Missouri, and besides, Murder Rock has its own charms, one of which is substantially lower green fees.

In this collection of interviews with one of the central poets of the San Francisco Literary Renaissance (which preceded the Beat movement) William Everson/Brother Antoninus ponders the mystical dimensions of poetry. The interviews span the final fifteen years of his life and contain his final thoughts on the prophetic, the shamanistic and the aesthetic dimensions of his craft, as well as his own life, characterized by the Portuguese proverb that "God writes straight with crooked lines." The interviews, accompanied by selected poems, were conducted, edited and introduced by Clifton Ross and were first published two years after the poets death by Stride Publications, UK, republished by Freedom Voices to honor the centennial of the poet's birth.

At first glance, the appearance/style of the Creative Zen Mosaic gives a sense of elegance and quality, with its trendy, futuristic design.
Its small and compact size, makes it ideal for using whilst on the move. When using the in-ear headphones that are supplied, it produces average quality sound. A slight improvement in sound clarity is achieved when using an additional pair of headphones.
The player also boost built in speakers which are only adequate for its sound quality. It is compatible with a wide range of audio file formats including WAV, WMA, MP3 Napster and even Audio Book files.
The menu is well designed and structured making it straightforward and easy to use. Although I was sceptical at first, the keys are fairly responsive and reliable even though they are rather close to each other.
Its battery stamina is quite good, on average a full charge provided about 38 hours of continuous audio playback, and about 7 hours of continuous video playback. Sadly the only flaw of the player is the size of its screen which can be used to view photos and slides with music playing in the background, but it is definitely unsuitable for watching videos for extended periods of time.
This is a good little MP3 Player. I bought this as I needed a cheap replacement for my other Creative Player which I lost. This has survived my accident prone hands (including a spin in the washing machine) and is serving me well. Sound is a good quality for such a cheap player and it has very good battery life. The screen quality is not great but you are not paying a lot of money. The player is easy to navigate, with clearly defined menu headings and allows you to create playlists on the go. It has useful extras such as a clock and alarm setting. The software that comes with it is the easiest I have ever used and facilitates quick transfers between PC and player. Creative make very good MP3 Players and I am highly impressed with their products. This is my third Creative player and they make an extremely impressive alternative to Apple. I would recommend this as a first MP3 player for young children.

The Muzaic Quilt
I've played with many MP3 Players but I've grown to hate the Muzaic quilt; the Creative Zen's so called master creation last year has been the film version of 'The King and I' accept not as shiny as Yuri's head. My first reaction was to ignore the grandma patchwork model but I wanted to know more. It isn't a classy iPod; yet it does have an oddity similar to three legged cat; you can't help but stop and wonder why? - This is Creatives master-stroke in regaining ground in a very competitive MP3 market, so they created a 'Muzaic quilt'. Hardly an idea that stimulates the juices of the younger market, or perhaps with an aging population the 'patch-work quilt' was to grab our elders from their gardens and start bumping and grinding; if they could work-out what the MP3 player does. I've reviewed different aspects of Creatives' MP3 concepts and now conclude that style is not their forte, so they're looking at the long term market when it comes to design, our aging elders. The problem is the squares make it difficult to read the navigation buttons; not good for our elders and is not cool enough for our younger market. The vision behind it is baffling to me and may end up being my nemesis as I constantly scratch my head for answers; answers on a postcard to...
The 'quilt' concept is the complete opposite to what should be on the design model table. It complex matters without reasons. It could be the brain-child concept from some crazed designer who has banged his or her head against a wall for too long; if they can't beat Apples iPod visually lets go down the 'grandma patch-work route' It just so reminds me of a corporation who just isn't going places and have fallen behind visual awareness and saunters through design laws as if they don't exist. The other notion is that Creative does not possess a marketable design team that could come up with the next world dominant MP3 Player. What is obvious is they have too much money and have gone down too many design model routes to be what Apple is.
I've known for a while the Creative Zen Mozaic series is all about re-branding and re-inventing itself; but why? - Their isn't one product model that stands out from the rest that has done wonders for Creatives brand. We all know of the brand because they produce huge amount of products right across the board. It isn't by their unique clever design models for the portable media player. The MP3 market is as fickle as an eight year old child, but the answer is not plowing in loads of money into a Musaic quilt MP3 player.
All Zen series portable media players have great graphics that have been visually enhanced by HD technology. The audio is notably the best in the market-place, yet the hardest part that Creative stumble over is their incompetent design concepts. I've never bought a creative product on design alone; it is always for their sheer quality of its audio and knowledge of DAB receptors. They really are of good quality and very reliable.
Creative Zen's Mozaic quilt
I was disappointed to read that review publisher 'computeractiv' had rated this PMP quite highly for its branding 'quilt' model. They claim that the "The Mozaic spelt with a 'Z' makes it really trendy and cool". - I don't relate to the 'Z' hype at all. It doesn't make a jot of difference, it is still a notable dud in the walks of design recognition; it has failed miserably. - The shaded squared colours are a eye sore and detracts from the navigation symbols that are on the squares themselves; another own goal I feel.
What is good as said previously is the array of audio formats that exist on the Mozaic; the playback modes are available in MP3, WMA, WAV and Audible formats; graphics are viewed in JPEG format. There is a crazy voice recorder option for dictating or for just reminding your-self 'what the navigation buttons do, perfect for one of our elders to scare themselves with.
2GB of Mozaic storage
The storage space is more than able to play over 10000 MP3 audio tracks. The transfer rates are quicker due to the fast USB transfer fast - track Windows music browser software. The Creative lacks the number of downloads that we the MP3 public have been getting use to. Hence, that there are not so many features available as the iPod. Creative will be improving this conundrum I'm sure by next year as the demand for downloadable data will become even more apparent, giving more options for users and of course better wireless connectivity.

The Mozaic has also devised a number of useful add-ons when purchasing this MP3 Player - including a Docking Speaker System, a soft pouch with a clip, an armband and the set of all three skins that is also available individually.

DooYoo - Review
I wanted an alternative to my valuable iPod, so I picked up one of these. It was just under £40 from Comet (if I remember correctly) and for the money I was very impressed with the feel of this tiny MP3 player. OK, so it is no iPod, it feels a little plasticky, but you have to remember how cheap this is. For the money I got a 2GB version, in black.
Styling is nice, with tiny square buttons arranged in a grid. These buttons navigate you around the menu system, up, down, left, right and back and forth, with a play/pause button on the bottom right of the grid. They are all coloured differently, which makes it a really funky design. The USB socket for charging and the headphone socket are along the bottom edge of the unit.
On the front you get a nice 1.8-inch screen. This is not very big, but is nice and colourful. It serves well for viewing JPEG photos and also supports AVI video playback. You wouldn't want to watch a full length film on here, but for YouTube length clips and maybe the odd cartoon it is more than good enough. The screen also serves up the menu system, which is easy to navigate, but sometimes a little frustrating to use.
So, I put all my tunes on here by simply dragging and dropping them to the unit. Playing back audio with the supplied earphones produces a pleasant sound quality. A lot of detail, nice and warm and only really lacking in the lower bass frequencies. However, compared to the iPod, it is a good match for it, not better, but just as good.
What you do get in this little wonder is a real bonus though. An FM tuner, so you can listen to radio and even save up to 32 preset stations. You also get a tiny speaker for annoying everyone with your tunes. More useful is the built-in microphone, alarm, clock and calendar. Plus a really good battery life... I am getting an average of about 24-hours of use per charge. It does vary, the least I got was 19-hours, but this included a lot of video playback.
This little Mozaic player really does offer a lot for the money. For those on a budget, or maybe anyone who wants a cheaper player to take out and about, the Mozaic is a good choice.

This week Bert shows us how to create an animated spotlight moving across a brick wall- using nothing but Adobe Photoshop.
His first step is to create two versions of the brick wall, a lighter version that appears to be lit from below, and a darker version that appears to be lit from above. Next, he adds a black mask to the light layer, adds a circle to the mask, and fills it in with white. This creates the spotlight, which he then softens with a Gaussian blur.

Sharapova says she doesn't spend much time focusing on appearance when on tennis court
New York: Glamourous tennis star Maria Sharapova admitted she doesn't spend much time focusing on her appearance when on court.
Maria Sharapova. Pic/Getty Images
In an interview to US magazine Self, Sharapova, the highest paid female athlete in world for the fifth straight year, spoke about her confidence and changing attitude towards fashion.
The former World No 1 Russian said: "I have a competitive drive. It's ferocious and powerful, and it's about winning.
"When I'm on the court, I'm not thinking about how I look. I do my ponytail in two seconds, and I'm not wearing a stitch of make-up. I'm confident in my skin, and I'm there to play the game."
Sharapova also reflected upon her initial years in international tennis where she was a lot more colourful than what it is now. She said: "I was a teenager. Of course I loved pinks and patterns! Those one-off pieces were great for entertainment value."

Long Melford (or Melford, as it is known locally) is a large village and civil parish in the county of Suffolk, England. It is on Suffolk's border with Essex, which is marked by the River Stour, approximately from Colchester and from Bury St. Edmunds. It is one of Suffolk's "wool towns" and is a former market town. The parish also includes the hamlets of Bridge Street and Cuckoo Tye.
Its name is derived from the nature of the village's layout (originally concentrated along a 3-mile stretch of a single road) and the Mill ford crossing the Chad Brook (a tributary of the River Stour).

Kristen Bell Is Dax Shepard's Main Squeeze
Is Dax Shepard trying to administer the Heimlich Maneuver to Kristen Bell?
The couple—currently filming When in Rome in, duh, Rome—were spotted taking a break at Ostia Lido beach, and Dax practiced his Iron Death Grip on the former Veronica Mars star.
He really, really wants to show the world how much he loves her. Which seems creepy and insecure in equal parts.
Dude, possessive much?
But she won't run away. At least not until the movie's finished. And she realizes that she's dating a second-stringer from Punk'd. And she has her shoulder realigned from your strong-arm "love."
You may have the chiseled shirtlessness and the edgy ink, but no girl likes a clingy half-man. At least not a girl worth having.

Hurricane's Grill Bondi Beach
Restaurant in Sydney
Grill & Steak Restaurant
No trip to Sydney is complete without a visit to the world famous Bondi Beach, and while you are there, you can discover Hurricane's Grill.
Just off Campbell Parade, this Australian institution specializes in grilled meat of all varieties with signature marinades that have a South African flavour.
The restaurant is light and airy, with a large alfresco area to the front, a contemporary bar area and further inside eating area. The atmosphere when I visited with my family on a warm, spring Sunday afternoon is buzzy but not intrusive. The diners were relaxed as you would expect from a beach community, and there was a nice mix of sand covered surfers, young professionals and families dressed for Sunday lunch.
We gazed at other diners receiving sizzling platters of glossy meat with gorgeous barbecue aromas wafting past us. We ordered chicken wings to share as a starter. The marinade was full of flavor and the meat was very tender and juicy, falling off the bone. This was followed by a full rack of ribs for my husband, and burgers for the kids, whilst I opted for half a chicken with a spicy marinade. Nobody was disappointed, again the meat was succulent and tasty, and the meal fulfilled our expectations. The portions were large by European standards and I would recommend sharing some dishes. Part of the Hurricane's experience is to roll your sleeves up and get sticky fingers.
The service was impeccable despite being fully booked and busy, and our waitress was attentive and knowledgeable. The prices were a little on the high side, but the quality of the meat was obvious and the ambience and service were faultless.

sample the album:
"La Planète Quartet is one of Aki Takase's newest ensembles, arising from her partnership with the French clarinettist Louis Sclavis. Right from the start Aki Takase envisaged realising Flying Soul with an instrumental palette comprised of strings and Louis Sclavis recommended two of his long-term colleagues to her, the violinist Dominique Pifarely and the cellist Vincent Courtois.
"On Flying Soul Aki Takase manages to shape the proportions in her music - of time, space and sound - with impressive ingenuity, without restraining the sounds - defying gravity, breathing freely, transforming yourself constantly: this aim has undoubtedly been achieved.""-Julia Neupert
"Aki Takase La Planete: Flying Soul Japanese pianist, composer Aki Takase collaborates with her peers on what could be considered an all-star international lineup, originating from her partnership with French clarinetist Louis Sclavis. Interspersed with several pieces, spanning one-minute to two- minutes in length, the nouveau chamber, jazz, and improvised segments are brusque, changeable and smoothly cohesive. In addition, many of these works take on the flavor of intersecting vignettes. Takase's Midas touch can be ever-so-gentle or constructed on steamy, avant-like flurries. The band conjures notions of harmony or despair via blithe unison reprises and an uncluttered musical environment, forged with great depth and compositions that don't snugly reside within one explicit genre.
The album boasts a vacillating current, featuring Takase's animated ostinatos; dainty or somber free-form cadenzas and Sclavis' carefree articulations amid the strings performers brisk unison breakouts and many other dynamics. And the quartet exercises an off- center spin on the Italian tarantella folk dance "Tarantella," spiced with frisky improvisational passages and disciplined choruses. The lone non-Takase composition is German avant-garde pianist Alexander von Schlippenbach's "Twelve Tone Tales, featuring Sclavis and violinist Dominique Pifarely's mystical storylines, nestled within the pianist's pensive articulations and cellist Vincent Courtois's classical undercurrents. However, Sclavis also lightens the panorama with whimsical phrasings over-the-top. In effect, the program rings like a multipart suite, enacted with comprehensive mosaics, and offset with rambunctious exchanges and flotation-like thematic evolutions. In less capable hands, these scenarios could seem muddled or contrived, but Takase's ensemble triumphantly morphs a sense of immediacy with sheer eloquence, graceful authority and mind-bending interplay."-Glenn Astarita, All About Jazz

With more than four million people in the UK living with diabetes, there are now some apps on the market that can be downloaded to your smartphone or smartwatch to enable you to develop an easier routine in order to track and better manage your condition.
Image Credit
Blood sugar
Being able to monitor and track the levels of sugar in your blood is the main priority for someone living with diabetes, whether an adult or a child. With the rate that technology is advancing all the time, there is a plethora of apps and accessories available to simply give you a higher quality monitoring. You accurately record what you eat and, if blood sugar drops, you'll get an alert giving you plenty of time to address it before it ends up an issue.
The Glucose Monitor by Dexcom is one such app. Developed through clinical trial services, this app has been responsible for saving the life of thousands of people across the UK. This particular app is great if you have children with diabetes, as you are also able to monitor blood sugar levels remotely through the 'share' function of the app. So, how does it work?
Glucose Meter
By recording the amount of carbohydrates being consumed, the Personal Diabetes Manager (PDM) function of the app automatically shows you how much insulin is to be given. Blood sugars are then monitored through the Continuous Glucose Monitor, which is updated every five minutes, providing real-time results and alerts if anything is going wrong.
For those living with Types 1 and 2 diabetes, mySugr Logbook and mySugr Pro also enable you to track important data. and will provide you with challenges to complete in order to develop some really constructive feedback to be used in future developments. Other apps also include the well known Accu Chek Avivia and Performa Connect, with more being developed all the time with the assistance of clinical trials – http://www.gandlscientific.com/clinical-trial-services/. There is also specific information for those UK-based diabetes sufferers –https://www.diabetes.org.uk/How_we_help/Diabetes-UK-apps/.
These apps make recording meals, medications and activity so much easier, with a simple to use personal log screen where you can add this information. By recording this information, these apps can analyse your food, blood sugars and exercise, as regularly as you want, providing you with an insight into your condition and how best to manage it.

After a sake tasting at the Japanese embassy recently, Plonk at the Fyshwick markets is stocking one of the sakes from Nara that a delegation from Nara, led by Mayor Gen Nakagawa, brought to Canberra.
Naratoyosawa Junmai Ginjo Mushohai sake is expected in the store from tomorrow, Thursday, November 7, priced at about $48.
The Nara sakes show the diversity of this drink – among the more unusual a sake made with yuzu, a light, sweet sake at 5 per cent alcohol, and another sweet plum sake, with double the alcohol and called ''Toro Toro'', meaning ''thick'', describing its texture.
Malamay in Barton is now offering a matching of sakes with its degustation menu chosen by sommelier Yann Mengneau, so you can try a range of styles.
The sakes are from around Japan. Six half glasses cost $63, or you can order them by the glass.

Carla Bruni's striking looks have turned heads since her early modeling days, but the former first lady of France said pregnancy at age 43 – and the media criticism that came along with her baby weight – left her filled with self-doubt during a vulnerable period.
"They say, 'She's fat.' They get really nasty. Nothing is out of bounds," Bruni told Vanity Fair. On TODAY Thursday, journalist Maureen Orth discussed the story in the magazine's June issue.
"It was a very fragile moment in my life. I'm kind of tall, with good size shoulders, and when I am 40 pounds overweight, I don't even look fat – I just look ugly. Having children when you're older is not easy."
Bruni gave birth to her second child (she also has an 11-year-old son with another partner) as Nicolas Sarkozy launched his reelection campaign. She said the challenges of constant nursing, lack of sleep and trying to lose baby weight while supporting her husband on the road left her exhausted. It also made her care very little about appearing in public with her hair and makeup done.
"Exactly at the time of my life when I would beg not to be photographed. It becomes like a war," she said.
But that left her a target for media criticism, Orth said. "Beyond the campaign trail, they were saying how bad she looked – and she said the Americans were the worst, by the way."
Sarkozy eventually lost his election bid to Francois Hollande, the current French president. Bruni cleared the air about the headlines she made when she left the presidential palace for the last time wearing a nondescript pantsuit over a T-shirt. She denied she was sending a message about the publicity she sometimes detested while in the political spotlight.
"Those were the only pants I could get into!" she insisted.
Bruni recently released a new album, "Little French Songs," her first since 2008, but has curbed her tour because of the numerous investigations surrounding her husband. Among the allegations Sarkozy is battling is that he took advantage of France's richest woman, the elderly billionaire heiress of L'Oreal, to finance his 2007 presidential election.
Bruni claimed most of the allegations are motivated by opposition politics. She also responded to rumors that she had planned to leave her husband once he left office.
"That's crazy," she said. "Because power was one of the problems that we had to face together. Power is not a pleasure. It makes you vulnerable."
Bruni also was open about her ongoing therapy sessions.
"I think I will be there until I die," she said, explaining that therapy has helped bring her lucidity and self-improvement.

Spin-up: The Spin-up system is available in AEG, Gas and Spring operated models. The basic theory is to put backspin on the BB. When the BB is fired there is resistance on the upper side of the BB creating a backspin. This offsets the effect of gravity, wind power and air resistance and pushes the BB to travel a longer distance.
Gear Box: The gear box on an AEG houses all the workings to power the piston to launch the BB. A strong metal gear box with metal gears gives you the best performance and durability.
Full Metal Body: A full metal gun refers to the upper and lower parts of the gun to being metal. Real Wood: Real wood means the foregrip and stock are made out of actual wood, giving the gun a real-world look and feel. This adds greatly to the realism of the gun.More:
- Has Spin-up system that places resistance on upper side of BB to create backspin, thereby offsetting the effect of gravity and air resistance and increasing distance

New Rules for Starting a Law Office (a response)
I recently listened to a podcast from the Un-billable Hour hosted by my friend Rodney Dowell. He spoke with Erik Mazzone from the North Carolina Bar Association about opening a law office, mentorship, StartingOutSolo and marketing.
The thing I wanted to comment on is the segment about new lawyers starting out solo and the quality of their practice and the need for finding mentors. I know Rodney and I know he would never imply that new lawyers don't know how to practice law or are incapable of practicing law, but to some listeners, it might have come off sounding like that.
I agree with Erik and Rodney on the importance of finding a mentor but I disagree about where to find those mentors. It was said that finding mentorship between a group of new lawyers is not useful because it's like the blind leading the blind. I disagree with this because new lawyers have experience from either past internships or practice or just learning how to practice law by themselves. On the StartingOutSolo listserv, we routinely ask simple questions about how to handle a legal situation or if someone has a form for a particular motion. If someone in the group has dealt with that legal issue before, it doesn't matter if they've been out in practice for 2 months or 20 years, they've dealt with it before and now has the experience and the qualifications to share that experience with fellow lawyers.
It also speaks to the erroneously held belief that old lawyers equals better lawyer. The years of practice correlates to experience and breadth of knowledge but does not equate to a better lawyer overall. This I have seen in person. I have litigated against young lawyers who I thought were very good and I've litigated against senior lawyers who I thought were very bad. As the saying goes, practice doesn't make perfect, it just makes you consistent.
As to having mentors, I entirely agree that mentorship is important but I don't believe that mentorship means you can't or shouldn't start a practice right out of law school. This implies that if you were to join a firm, you'd get supervision and mentorship – which could or couldn't be true. I know lots of big firm lawyers, first year associates, that hardly get any mentorship. They get thrown case research or motions to draft but no direction. They talk to the senior partners only when getting new assignments or presenting their work. So these new associates look to not the senior partners, but other associates – 2nd or 3rd year associates. This is no different than StartingOutSolo members asking each other for help.
Living in the information and technology revolution means that not only is marketing a solo practice easier than ever before, but it also means that finding mentors and legal information is also easier than ever before. Many new solos join Solosez or other association of lawyers that will gladly speak with them by email or otherwise. It's not the traditional method of mentorship where new lawyers follow more seasoned lawyers around all day or see them in person, but it is no less helpful. My first divorce trial, I spoke with a more experienced divorce lawyer that I met online and I spoke with her and picked her brain for over 2 hours to prepare for trial. She was a one-time mentor but was nonetheless a mentor.
The bottom line is this – the information/technology revolution has opened up the world to so many more options from every aspect of life and business. It has done the same for the practice of law. There is no longer one way to open a law firm. A myriad of ways exists and are just as valid. The key, and this hasn't changed from the old guard, is dedication, research and drive. Have a goal, don't stop until you reach that goal, and always do your homework.

I would like to submit a book proposal for your consideration. X-Agency represents authors whose books I read and has been well respected in the literary community for over thirty years. After speaking with , I feel my idea will be at home in your agency.
I am working on a non-fiction book entitled Transforming Feminisms. Its purpose is to broaden the traditional definition of what it means to be a 'feminist activist' and how feminist theory is derived. It will provide a how-to guide for engaging in unconventional methods of resistance that move beyond identity politics toward an intersectional movement. The project will include a collection of personal narratives
that represent a diverse group of women and men who are working for social change around the globe. These people will their share innovative strategies for changing the world along with the story of how they came to and are living their version of feminism.
A community organizer turned writer, my work has been published in online and print publications including AlterNet, Curve, In These Times, Marie Claire, Nerve, RH Reality Check, and Bitch Magazine. This will be my first book, though many of the contributors are published authors. I look forward to your reply.

A SALISBURY band has been awarded £2,500 to buy new equipment and raise the profile of young musical talent in the area.
Eden Lake received the funding after hitting the right notes in their pitch at a Dragons' Den style event held by housing association A2Dominion in London.
The five-piece band, made up of students studying Level 3 music at Wiltshire College, will use the funds to buy engineering equipment to improve the sound quality of their music and record other local bands.
It will also allow them to play more live venues and help raise the profile of local musical talent in Salisbury.
Band member Harry Baird, 21, said: "Presenting to the Dragons was an amazing experience, and one which we feel has brought us even closer together as a band.
"The funding will go a long way to help us record our own music, as well as contributing to other young bands and bringing great live music to Salisbury.
"We would like to thank everyone at A2Dominion for this fantastic opportunity."
Heather David, A2Dominion's head of community involvement, said: "Eden Lake impressed the judges with their ideas, spirit and ambition, and delivered a thorough pitch to the panel.
"We are delighted to have awarded this funding to support the band and help other young musicians in the Salisbury community."

The Daily Shrinking Planet
By this time next year, there's a good chance that you won't recognize your local big-city newspaper.
In early June, Jim Romenesko's well-known journalism site posted a memo from Dave Butler, executive editor of the MediaNews Group's San Jose Mercury News. In it, he discussed the prospect of significantly shrinking his paper's print editions on Mondays and Tuesdays, which are typically the most ad-starved days of the week. The Mercury News is not the only major daily nearing such a move, say newspaper executives elsewhere with firsthand knowledge of such deliberations. They say big metros also are discussing a wide range of other radical notions. Among them: making home deliveries only on certain days of the week, shrinking additional weekday print editions, and even cutting out paid papers entirely on certain days of the week in favor of a smaller and free product. (The executives promise their Web sites will pick up the slack on days when the print edition is skimpier.)
These changes even outdo those mentioned by Randy Michaels, Tribune's (TXA) chief operating officer, who touched off a minor media uproar on June 5 when he said his company's nine papers will lose around 500 news pages a week. Astonishing developments, all. But then these are astonishing times. In a recent report, Deutsche Bank (DB) analyst Paul Ginocchio predicted that total newspaper revenue this year will drop 11.2%, on top of a 9.4% fall in '07. He also suggested that newspapers' pricing power on certain classified ads is eroding—fallout, presumably, from the emergence of online players such as craigslist. Meanwhile, costs are gruesome. Newsprint prices, the biggest expense for a newspaper, could be as much as $200 per ton higher this fall than they were a year ago. The price of gas, too, has serious implications for an industry that still distributes its product by the palletful (hence the proposed cuts in home delivery). In an address to the World Newspaper Congress on June 2, Dean Singleton, MediaNews' chief executive officer, said that, in his estimation, 19 of the top 50 U.S. newspapers are losing money. And, he warned, "that number will continue to grow."
"It's reality," a matter-of-fact Singleton subsequently told me. "You can't get to the other side of the river unless you face reality."
This is why I'm hearing things from senior newspaper executives that I've never heard before. In making the case for compressing some print editions, one executive says: "We are putting out, in many cases, more journalism than anyone can consume in a given day." This, he says, "bring[s] on a bit of a guilt factor" among readers who don't have time for a long, leisurely morning read. Well, maybe, but I can't imagine readers will feel they're getting much bang for the buck if their daily papers shrink to the 10 pages they most care about.
There isn't much maneuverability for the American city daily, which has taken the brunt of the industry's dislocations. As crazy as this once sounded, I'm now convinced one or more major American markets will lose their daily newspaper within 18 months. (Singleton and Rupert Murdoch, who know more about this than I do, agree conceptually, if not on the time frame.)
So it goes for the newspaper business. What, then, happens to news?
The optimistic example is found in music. The quantity and availability of rock and pop are mushrooming for consumers even as life gets worse for the traditional businesses at the center of the equation: major record labels.
But this metaphor isn't extendable to news. While you can record and distribute an album cheaply, some forms of journalism still take serious chunks of time, manpower, and resources to create. Now, I refuse to equate newsroom cutbacks with the death of news. For one thing, city media ecosystems have proven to be vibrant things that constantly spawn new local and niche blogs. The best—never underestimate the voltage one energetic reporter can generate—match or even outdo their traditional rivals in many respects. But not all of them. Newspapers still do some things that can't be replaced. Unfortunately, we're about to find out exactly what those things are.

Friday, October 22, 1999 Published at 23:15 GMT 00:15 UK
World: Europe
Papon behind bars
Maurice Papon collapsed after his arrest in Switzerland
French war criminal Maurice Papon is spending his first night behind bars in a prison near Paris - after being after being expelled from Switzerland.
Papon was flown in from Switzerland after a brief escape from French justice and started his 10-year prison sentence for crimes against humanity in the prison's hospital wing.
"Switzerland cannot and will not be a refuge for people charged with crimes against humanity," she said.
Papon's 10-day flight from justice came to an end on Thursday night when he was arrested in a hotel in the Swiss ski resort of Gstaad, 90km (60 miles) south of the capital Bern.
Police moved in just hours after France issued an international arrest warrant for the elderly fugitive.
France's highest court on Thursday rejected an appeal against his conviction in 1998 for his role in sending 1,650 Jews to Nazi death camps.
A matter of 'honour'
Swiss police said Papon was carrying cash and three passports - only two of them in his own name - when he was taken into custody.
He was taken ill shortly after his arrest, and was held in the prison ward of Bern's Inselspital hospital before being whisked out of the country by helicopter.
In a statement on Wednesday, Papon said he had chosen exile to uphold his honour.
Under French law, Papon had to report to prison before the start of his appeals hearing. The appeal is automatically rejected if the appellant does not report to prison before the hearing.
Arrest welcomed
Papon is the highest-ranking official of the pro-Nazi Vichy government to be convicted of crimes against humanity during World War II.
The trial opened old wounds about French collaboration with the Nazis, and his flight raised questions about the nation's determination to confront its role in the Holocaust.
In Paris, lawmakers at the National Assembly, the French parliament, broke into applause at the news that Papon had been arrested.
French President Jacques Chirac said Papon's arrest marked "the return to a respect of the law".

SAN JOSE — A federal jury on Wednesday wrapped up its first day of deliberations in the Apple (AAPL) v. Samsung patent trial without reaching a verdict.
The seven-man, two-woman jury is expected to return Thursday morning for another day of deliberations in the multi-billion dollar smartphone and tablet showdown between the two tech giants.
Apple has accused South Korea-based Samsung of copying the designs of the iPhone and iPad in its smartphones and tablets, and has asked the jury to award at least $2.5 billion in damages for patent infringement and other claims.
Samsung has denied copying Apple's products, arguing the Cupertino company is pressing its legal claims to stifle competition in the heated smartphone and tablet market. Samsung also has accused Apple of infringing on some of its patent rights.
With three weeks of evidence to consider, the jury must now fill out a 20-page verdict form that has 33 detailed, multi-layered questions, many of them with elaborate charts that require the panel to consider legal questions for a host of Samsung devices, as well as Apple's. The jury also was given 109 pages of legal instructions, and sent into the jury room with dozens of smartphones and tablets to eyeball.

I am always so impressed with your quick, affordable DIY projects. I wouldn't have even thought of a sheet, but it's perfect because it doesn't add too much weight, it's plenty wide, and hello, $10?!! I also would have felt compelled to order the full length of fabric for the sides, or use contrasting fabric, or add borders or cording or fabric buttons… And the poor kid would be headed off to college before I ever got the duvet cover finished! Thanks for the reminder to keep it simple. Your friend is lucky she can call on you!
@ Rebecca,
You made my day. I appreciate you taking the time to tell me what you think!
Beautiful! I am making a custom sized for my boy who HAS gone off to college. Dorm beds are Twin XL but down comforters only came in Twin. He is 6′ 4″ so length is an issue. I am re purposing a King Down Comforter. Using it's entire length but the width will be between a twin and a full. For the duvet, I bought King Flannel Sheets at Costco.
Your instructions on the closure were exactly what I needed! Thanks
Melody, I'm so glad I could help! And congratulations on successful mothering. Getting them to college is a huge accomplishment, and I'm sure he'll love having a mom-made duvet to snuggle with (even if he doesn't admit it:)
i found this on pintrest when looking for different duvet cover methods. Great tutorial but my favorite part has to be "my children sleep in box and a closet." I had to stop and look at the links. Very creative and reminds me that my mom loves telling everyone that i slept in a vacuum cleaner box. They were moving overseas and my mom "re-purposed" a vacuum cleaner box into a portable crib, she lined it and it doubled as bedding storage when i wasn't in it.

Honey Nut & Cream Cheese Baklava Recipe
I love serving impressive desserts that look like you spent hours in the kitchen when, in reality, they're really easy to make. This is one of those recipes. —Cheryl Lundquist, Wake Forest, North Carolina

- 1 cup water
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1. Preheat oven to 350°. Coat a 13x9-in. baking pan with cooking spray. In a large bowl, mix cream cheese and 1/4 cup sugar until blended. Stir in walnuts.
- 2. Unroll phyllo dough; trim to fit into pan. Layer 20 sheets of phyllo in prepared pan, spritzing each with cooking spray. Keep remaining phyllo covered with plastic wrap and a damp towel to prevent it from drying out.

"I admit I was skeptical of making without any reviews but tried it anyway, and it is very good. I have never worked with phyllo dough before so mine didnt turn out as pretty as the picture. Next time I will make sure I have enough cooking spray and will follow directions for working with the dough more closely. I also seemed to not have enough of the filling to do a second layer so just made a thicker first layer and then just added more phyllo dough (5 sheets, very thin) to the top"

Buick Repair Questions? Ask a Mechanic for Answers ASAP
We have seen a lot of problems with the injectors causing this type of problem. The following test will need to be done when the problem is happening.
Verify that the Purple/White wire from the Ignition module has a 0-5 volt square wave signal when it is a no start; if not, check the crank sensor output with an ac voltmeter. It must produce at least 0.6 volts ac while cranking. Check the injectors during no start. All 6 must be above 12 ohms individually, or above 4 ohms when checking 3 at a time. Verify that power and ground to the Electronic Control Module (ECM) is good, sensor readings are normal, and Purple/White wire is good to the ECM, as are the injector wires. If all OK, replace the ECM.

Henri Bedimo said Lyon were punished for being "wasteful" as their 2-1 Champions League loss to Gent ended their 2015-16 European campaign.
Hubert Fournier's Lyon had to beat the Belgian champions to keep their hopes of reaching the last 16 alive and they got off to the best start on Tuesday as Jordan Ferri opened the scoring after just seven minutes.
A fine free-kick from Danijel Milicevic brought Gent level before the break and, despite creating a number of second-half chances, Lyon were ultimately punished as Kalifa Coulibaly scored with the final action of the game to secure the win.
With Lyon consequently bowing out of Europe in their last ever continental game at the Stade de Gerland, Bedimo was left to rue the way they approached the game after the first goal.
"Having opened the scoring, we did the opposite of what we had to do," he told BeIN Sport.
"We backed off, we had to push on to score the second goal. But it's also because this team forced us to back off. We couldn't handle it.
"We missed out narrowly, we were too wasteful, we rushed and we lost the ball too quickly. We lost confidence during the game and it became difficult.
"We had to put in a lot of determination and focus. It's a big disappointment."
Gent are now up to second in Group H and will progress to the knockout round if they match Valencia's result on matchday six.

EMERGENCY flood work will start today in South Cerney to alleviate high water levels on the River Churn following heavy rain.
A water drainage system will be installed by South Cerney Parish Council (SCPC) in an effort to protect homes on Robert Franklin Way and Boxbrush Road.
The council plan to dig a trench the River Churn bridge at Robert Franklin Way and install lead pipes which will drain water into a nearby field.
A similar nearby trench and pipe system was installed by the council in December 2012 after heavy downpour also put homes at risk but the pipes are nearing full capacity.
During a discussion at South Cerney Parish Council meeting last night Wednesday, February 12 members of the council voted to take the action in light of more heavy rain being forecast over the coming days.
Philip Nicholas, vice chairman of South Cerney Parish Council, said: "It is inevitable that there is serious risk of many houses at the end of the village being flooded. That is an objective analysis based on the information that we all have."
The Environment Agency approved the work today after Gloucestershire County Council Ward councillor for South Cerney, Shaun Parsons requested the work be done on behalf of SCPC.
Once the trench has been dug, the 600 mm pipes will be installed and then once the water level has gone down, more 600 mm pipes will be installed at a level that means they only take water when there is a high water flow.

New Models Spearhead Infiniti at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show
GENEVA – Marc 6, 2013: Infiniti's pledge of more models, more engines and more choice for European motorists becomes real in spectacular fashion on the Infiniti stand at this year's Geneva Motor Show.
Among the world and European debuts are cars powered by four and six-cylinder diesel engines, hybrid powertrains, pure electric drive systems - and a V8 with KERS energy recovery system in World Champion Sebastian Vettel's Infiniti Red Bull Racing Formula One car.
"This is our most European line-up ever which reinforces our confidence in Europe," said Johan de Nysschen, President, Infiniti Motor Company Ltd. "We promised new models with smaller, lower CO2 engines and now we are starting to deliver them."
The Infiniti Q50, making its debut in Europe, is the first Infiniti Q car to take the Geneva spotlight. An all-new saloon for the premium D segment, the Q50 is on show in Geneva in potent 364PS 3.5 Hybrid form and also, enjoying its world premiere, as the Q50 2.2d powered by a new 2.2-liter diesel engine. Infiniti's first four-cylinder diesel unit boasts both performance, thanks to its 170PS and 400Nm of torque, and low emissions starting from below 115g/km of CO2.
The Q50's emotive styling with distinctive human eyes-like headlight and 'Double Arch' grille, its world-first technologies such as Direct Adaptive Steering, and a digital environment promising unprecedented levels of customization distinguish Infiniti's most European car yet.
The Q50s on the stand showcase the model's exclusive new Hagane colours and show a variety of the features that will be available across the Q50 range - a range tailored for both private and fleet customers.
Infiniti is showing a taste of the future in the form of the LE Concept. Infiniti's first 100% electric car, the dramatically-styled LE Concept proclaims "dynamic luxury" far more than "electric vehicle," something the production version - due in under two years' time - will maintain. As an Infiniti, driving pleasure and performance will be uppermost.
Infiniti's Geneva show stand will feature one car with absolutely nothing to prove on the performance front: three-time World Champion Sebastian Vettel's Formula One machine in its 2013 livery to reflect the new team name, Infiniti Red Bull Racing.
As well as the new cars, Infiniti is proud to roll out its new Infiniti Q naming strategy in Geneva. During the first two media days the top-selling FX will be displayed as the QX70. The new badges recall Infiniti's beginning 24 years ago with the iconic Q45, and all models will eventually be badged Q (saloons, coupes and convertibles) or QX (crossovers).
With global sales bucking the trend and up 17% in 2012, Infiniti's expansion continues with new Infiniti Centres opening and the Infiniti range now available in nearly 50 countries across the globe.

Because I've posted so little over the past year and shared my 10 most viewed posts yesterday, I decided to only share 5 of my favourites. Also, to keep it fresh I didn't repeat any from yesterday, although some of those would definitely have made the list.
In no particular order, here they are.
This has made such a difference in my living room. I see it every day and it blends perfectly into the decor.
This was for my grandma on her 90th birthday, and is one of the few cards I've ever made. She's totally worth it!
I really enjoy my art classes (most of the time) but often find myself struggling with where to hang the pieces. This one already had a home in my guest room before I made it.
These were delicious and will become a yearly regular for sure.
This project was only completed a couple days ago but I absolutely love it. It has made such a change to our boring bedroom; it's made it more relaxing and cozy.
Want to see more? Here are my favourites from 2012, 2013, and 2014.

It has a great potential. The staf is friendly and helpful, but the beds are lumpy, showers are smal ( those wire soap stands should be removed) and aditonal shelf in the bathroom would be nice. Our room was very cramped, to many bunks and no space for our bags. And lockers are to smal for bags!

The hostel itself looks very nice but there is just something missing. The toilets lacked paper the first day and there are no towels, paper or ordinary, and no soap in there as well. Showers are also a bit small but there are 6 of them. There's also a lot of problems with parking (on the street (payable/h) or park-house (32€/day)). The general experience wasn't bad at all but next time we'd rather go somewhere else instead.
Hello from Royal Lisbon Hostel, Thank you for your comments, we are always trying to improve, and our customers comments and reviews are the best way to do so. We are very sorry that your visit to Lisbon and your stay with us as not fulfilling. We hope that next time you come to Lisbon you will give us the opportunity to show you the best of Royal Lisbon.

Apres-Ski Sweater by Lisa Ellis
Welcome! You are browsing as a guestWould you like to see projects made from this pattern and much more? create a free account What am I missing?
Apres-Ski Sweater
Pattern is written in both bulky (3 sts = 1") and
worsted weight (4 sts = 1")
Yarn used in this pattern came from 2 un-identified cones of sport-weight yarn. One cone was probably 100% alpaca (cream) and the other cone was probably a variegated nubbed wool in sport weight as well. Combine the 2 yarns together and it made a gorgeous after-ski sweater.
