American Bass-Baritone Greer Grimsley is internationally recognized as an outstanding singing actor and one of the most prominent Wagnerian singers of our day. Continuing his reign as a leading interpreter of Wotan, he will sing the eminent role for the Metropolitan Opera's RING Cycle in the new Robert Lepage's landmark production in the Spring of 2013. In addition to performing this role once again in Summer 2013 with Seattle Opera, this season his engagements include Don Pizarro in Fidelio with Seattle Opera and the High Priest in Samson et Dalila in his hometown of New Orleans Opera. Future season see returns to San Francisco Opera in two productions, the Gran Teatre del Liceu in two productions, a return to Dallas Opera, and a return to San Diego Opera.
Grimsley appeared on the June 2010 cover of Opera News Magazine, featuring a 7-page focus on his role as %u2018King of the Gods'. Commenting on Seattle Opera's 2009 Der Ring des Nibelungen, the Seattle Times said, "Grimsley's big, resplendent voice is the right size and color for this vital role; as Wotan, he sounds like a singer who has found his true home. He's an adept actor, too, never overplaying his hand and relating to the rest of the cast with unflagging intensity." He will reprise the role in Seattle Opera's full Ring for the third time in 2013. He has also performed the role of Wotan in Die Walküre and Das Rheingold at the Deutsche Oper Berlin, and in the full Ring Cycle with the Teatro La Fenice di Venezia, Oper Köln, and on tour in Shanghai.

International engagements have also included Scarpia in Tosca at the Oper der Stadt Köln, at the Deutsche Oper Berlin, The Norwegian National Opera in Oslo, and at the Hyogo Performing Arts Center in Japan; Jokanaan in Salome with the Deutsche Oper Berlin, Aarhus-Den Jyske Opera in Denmark, the Scottish Opera, and the Opera de Bellas Artes in Mexico; Mephistopheles in Faust in Oviedo, Spain; Mandryka in Arabella with the Royal Danish Opera; Don Pizzarro in Fidelio with the Scottish Opera as well as the Portuguese National Opera São Carlos; Jack Rance in La Fanciulla del West and the title role in Bluebeard's Castle with L'Opera de Montreal; the title role in Don Giovanni and Scarpia in Tosca with the Stadttheater Basel in Switzerland; the Villains in Les Contes
d'Hoffmann with New Israeli Opera; and Amonasro in Aïda with Opera de Caracas in Venezuela.
In North America his more recent performances have also included Jokanaan in Salome at the San Francisco Opera, San Diego Opera, Santa Fe Opera, Vancouver Opera, Michigan Opera Theater, and Arizona Opera; Scarpia in Tosca with Seattle Opera, San Diego Opera, L'Opera de Montreal, Portland Opera, Pittsburgh Opera, New Orleans Opera, and Opera Colorado; Mephistopheles in Faust at the San Diego Opera, New Orleans Opera, and in a new production with Arizona Opera; Don Pizzarro in Fidelio with Opera Company of Philadelphia and Portland Opera; Jack Rance in La Fanciulla del West with Seattle Opera; the title role of Macbeth with Vancouver Opera and Opera Lyra Ottawa; Amonasro in Aida with Portland Opera; the High Priest in Samson et Dalila with San Diego Opera; and Claggart in Billy Budd with Pittsburgh Opera.
Also an active concert artist, Mr. Grimsley made his New York Philharmonic debut as Don Pizzaro in Fidelio with conductor Kurt Masur at the inaugural season of the Lincoln Center Festival. Additional concert engagements have included Verdi's Requiem with the Atlanta Symphony at Carnegie Hall; Beethoven's Symphony No. 9 with the Seattle Symphony and San Antonio Symphony; the High Priest in Samson et Dalila with Washington Concert Opera; Don Pizzarro in Fidelio with the Saint Louis Symphony; and Scarpia in Tosca with Deborah Voight and the Minnesota Orchestra.
Mr. Grimsley first came to international attention as Escamillo in the Peter Brook production of La Tragédie de Carmen, which he has sung in venues around the world, including his Italian debuts at the Festival dei Due Mondi in Spoleto and the Teatro Comunale di Bologna. He also performed Escamillo in Bizet's Carmen with the Seattle Opera, Baltimore Opera, Opera Company of Philadelphia, Vancouver Opera, Edmonton Opera, the St. Louis Symphony, the Teatro Real, the Grand Théâtre de Genève, the Scottish Opera, Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra, and at the Bregenz Festival in Austria.
He made his Metropolitan debut as Captain Balstrode in Peter Grimes, and has subsequently returned in performances as Escamillo in Carmen, Jokanaan in Salome, and Scarpia in Tosca. He created the role of Canyka in the world premiere of Ashoka's Dream with Santa Fe Opera and performed the Count de Luna in the American premiere of Verdi's French-language version of Il Trovatore, Le Trouvère. He has also performed at the Wexford Festival in Ireland as Richard Lionheart in Marschner's Der Templer und Die Juden.

As the #1 provider of real estate, infrastructure and facilities management solutions in the world, Archibus provides organizations with a comprehensive, integrated solution to make informed strategic and tactical decisions. The Archibus Building Operations module will enable the University to streamline the management of its facilities management service by enabling the efficient scheduling, dispatch, management and reporting of maintenance tasks, applying this software's self-service capabilities to reduce operational costs and to increase customer satisfaction.
Over the last year, the University Facilities (UF) Archibus transition team has worked to document the work order business process, identify opportunities for efficiencies and improvements, and establish roles and responsibilities within the new system.
Archibus and the means of this deployment will create a different approach to the way UF currently does business. While the business process or work flow will fundamentally remain the same, the significant change is that all work activities will be managed electronically, within this application. The transition from paper to electronics will improve the communications between the customer and UF and within UF.
Customers may continue to submit service requests online and via telephone at 973-655-5444. When a customer service request is received, the scheduling of work activities by the appropriate UF supervisor will be accomplished within the system. This will create a permanent record of the request. As a service request advances to become a work order, the status of this will be noted in the system and work status will be available to the requesting customer.
UF staff will enter critical information such as the date the work is to begin, if the work needs to be re-scheduled due to procurement of parts or accessibility/availability of the room in which the service is to be provided, or due to other issues. If the status changes, the change will be documented in real time within the system. Again, this updated status information will be viewable by the requesting customer.
UF managers will regularly query, monitor and audit the status of work requests within Archibus, to provide for a higher level of accountability to our customers.
The goal of this initiative is to more promptly provide our facilities services to all of Campus Community members in an effective and efficient manner and to provide, to the greatest possible extent, transparency regarding when requested services will be accomplished. Campus community members who wish to request services may contact the Facilities Service Desk at 973-655-5444 or use the new Archibus system at http://montclair.edu/workorder.
Thank you.

Audiences at Serbian Patriarchate -15 March 2013
His Holiness Irinej, Serbian Patriarch, received on 15 March 2013 Their Graces Bishops Pahomije of Vranje, Joakim of Polog and Marko of Bregalnica.
The same day His Holiness hosted an audience for members of the Russian Motorcycle Club Night wolves, who were led by Dr. Aleksander Zaldastanov, the president of this greatest motorcycle club in the world.
The humanitarian work does not fit the usual idea of bikers. The Night Wolves promote healthy life, foster the Orthodox tradition and they are active in helping the orphaned children and in the fight against drug abuse. Their brotherly love towards the Serbian people on Kosovo and Metohija was proven many times at the bikers' manifestations throughout Russia, as well as in many media appearances of Dr. Zaldastanov.

Sisterhood of the Traveling Wedding Dress! With Alexis Bledel's recent confirmation (via rep) of her engagement to Mad Men costar Vincent Kartheiser, all the members of The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants — America Ferrera (Carmen), Amber Tamblyn (Tibby), Blake Lively (Bridget) and Bledel (Lena) — will soon be married women.
In the past two years, costars Ferrera, 28, Tamblyn, 29, and Lively, 25, have all tied the knot, and now it's finally Bledel's turn. A rep for the 31-year-old actress exclusively confirmed to Us Weekly on Wednesday, March 20 that Bledel is engaged to Kartheiser, 33, after about a year of dating.
And it's probably safe to say that Bledel will be inviting her former costars to her nuptials. The ladies have represented the Sisterhood at each other's weddings, and have remained close since starring in the 2005 film and its 2008 sequel, which were based on Ann Brashares' bestselling young adult novels.
Here, Us Weekly takes a look back at the weddings of the Sisterhood.
America Ferrera Married June, 27 2011
The Ugly Betty actress was the first member of the Sisterhood to tie the knot to her longtime boyfriend, director Ryan Piers Williams, 31. The couple met when Williams cast Ferrera in a student film at the University of Southern California. Lively and Tamblyn were reportedly in attendance for the intimate ceremony.
Blake Lively Married September 9, 2012
The Gossip Girl star invited all members of the Sisterhood to her surprise, hush-hush wedding to Ryan Reynolds, 36, in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina at Boone Hall Plantation & Gardens. The couple of less than one year exchanged vows in a small ceremony. Lively wore a Marchesa gown with crystal and rose gold embroidery down the aisle, and featured an "overflowing" dessert table at her reception to satisfy her sweet tooth.
Amber Tamblyn Married October 6, 2012
Lively returned the favor the very next month by attending Tamblyn's nontraditional ceremony to Arrested Development actor David Cross, 48. Wearing a marigold yellow dress and walking barefoot, the House, M.D. actress tied the knot in a woodland setting after arriving via canoe.
Alexis Bledel Engaged March 2013
Last, but not least, Bledel will be saying "I do" to Kartheiser. "I'm a very lucky man," the actor gushed of his relationship with the Gilmore Girls star. A source told Us Weekly of the spouses-to-be, "They are so cute together."

I tend to be drawn by the dramatic colours created by angry, grey skies but also by the beautiful, captivating colour transformation the evening light bless us with.

Barney Frank Unhappy With Occupy Wall Streeters Who Blame Me For Consequence Of Their Not Voting
by Colby Hall | 8:17 am, October 18th, 2011
On Monday night Rachel Maddow explained how the Occupy Wall Street movement defied some traditional party lines, or in her words, protesters arent exactly delighted with Democrats either. She then introduced Rep. Barney Frank, who shared some frustrations with the protesters, saying Im unhappy when people didnt vote last time blame me for the consequences of their not voting. Frank echoed the thoughts made last week by former Gov. Ed Rendell who basically asked where were these folks during the last mid-term elections?
Frank has been himself a lightening rod for harsh criticism surrounding the loosening of regulations surrounding mortgages, which some feel led to the very mortgage-back security problems that led to a crashing of the U.S. economy back in fall of 2008. Many on the right have efforted to make him the poster-boy of Democratic ineptitude.
(Excerpt) Read more at mediaite.com ...
He is insane
I assume he is blaming the 2012 congressional elections for all this?
Don't worry Bwarney, the zombies of obama's publicly defecating grifter army don't have to vote in 2012, the labor unions are planning to do it for them
Im unhappy when people didnt vote last time blame me for the consequences of their not voting.
All the dead people, duplicate voting and illegal's who voted Liberal more than make up for these numb skulls NOT voting.... besides, Barney is guilty as h%$# no matter WHO voted of NOT!
"If you did not vote for me and the rest of the Democrats last time around, the financial situation is entirely your fault."
Bawney—you're such a maggot.
The Lord says "I will repay" (Rom 12:19)...
I don't think Bawney is going to see much judgement in this world, but in the next, all will be set to rights.
Barney Frank really thinks he had nothing to do with the present crisis and only bigger and bigger government can save us all. He even blames the voters for their poor decisions.
I blame the voters of MA who keep sending him back to congress year after year...
Uh...he and Dodd were in charge of the oversight of Fanny Mae and Freddie Mac, the false housing bubble that caused the entire economic collapse.
He's right about one thing. Had the protesters voted the democrats out years ago, we wouldn't be in this mess today.
If they'd let free markets work instead of letting the government pick winners and losers,
most of the abuses we've seen would be history, because those companies would be bankrupt.
Barney's correct in the sense that a lot of these protesters weren't paying attention for the last 20 years or so and are now paying for their neglect.
Occupy Hershey Highway is upset with Occupy Wall Street?
Don't blame all the voters in Mass. Frank represents a small section of the ultra-left-idiots and self hating Americans in a wealthy part of the state. Many of the rest aren't all that bright, but only a few are GUILTY of Frank.
Oh, man. I wish I'd been watching. I bet Rachel ripped him a new one for that. Trying to pin B.F.'s actions from 10 years ago on what happened at the ballot box last year.
Poor guy was probably reduced to a quivering puddle of pee by the time Rachel was done with him.
geeze...how do they know these morons didn't vote ?
These people, for as revolting as they look, are not entirely stupid.
The Dems had the White House, the House, and 60 votes in the Senate for close to two years. They should have rammed through and implemented the Socialist Nirvana they had been promising since FDR in their view. All they got instead was a convoluted and unconstitutional health care bill that pleased nobody...left, right or center.
So, let me see if I understand Bwawney Fwank correctly. He is unhappy with people involved in these protests because they failed to vote him out of office before he and Chris Dodd could do the damage they did with the mortgage crisis? I can't image any other way to interpret his comment.
Here's another example of how a big, strong male figure wins in politics.

When planning your tiny home, youll want to give extra time and care to the kitchen. Why? Because the kitchen is the heart of any home, and with a tiny home, its even more important. One could even say it IS the home. Aside from your bedroom area, its the place where youll spend most of your time, energy, and creativity as you cook meals for yourself and your family. Designing the best tiny house kitchen can be a tricky task, but it can also be a very rewarding one. This is one area you will not want to speed through when building the tiny home of your dreams. Before you begin, there are some specific questions youll need to ask yourself.
First of all, how many people will be living in your tiny home? Youll need to consider the amount of food youll need to store at a given time. Is there a store nearby and how often will you need to go shopping? When answering these questions, cleaning out your current fridge, freezer, and cupboards could be helpful. Get rid of all the food items that you never use and take stock of whats left. Measure it with a tape measure to see how much space it takes up. This is approximately how much space youll need in your tiny house kitchen. As far as grocery store trips are concerned, keep track of how often you go there now once a week, twice a week? More? Less? If you go more often, youll probably need less storage space, but if you go less frequently, then youll need extra space to store your provisions. Next, youll need to take an inventory of all your current cooking items pots, pans, casserole dishes, utensils, cutlery, plates, and the like. How much will you need for your tiny kitchen? What do you always use? What do you never use? Start scaling back now and keep a record of your habits this will help you plan your new kitchen space.
Youll need to consider your primary power source for cooking in your tiny house kitchen. Will it be propane, electric, solar, natural gas, or will you use a generator? You need a great deal of power when cooking with electricity; therefore, this isnt always a practical option if you want to live off the grid. Youll need to conduct the necessary research to discover what kind of energy is most appropriate and cost-effective for you. Do you love to cook or prefer to let others cook for you? If you enjoy cooking, then youll undoubtedly need your kitchen space to be as ideal as possible in your new tiny home. Maybe youll be able to downscale other areas of the house, but you dont want to feel cramped when you are whipping up those favourite dishes. Make sure theres enough surface area for preparing meals as well as extra storage and refrigeration space to preserve those leftovers. If youre the greatest fan of cooking, then you can cut a few corners and go a bit more minimalist with the kitchen. Theres nothing wrong with bringing home prepared or semi-prepared meals or even letting others do the cooking for you. The important thing is just to be honest with yourself and know your needs.
Building your own tiny home can be a great deal of fun if you ask all of the right questions before you begin the process, and do as much research as possible. Dont be shy - be sure to ask experts, friends, and relatives whove built their own tiny homes to see whats worked best for them. And, when it comes to the kitchen, youll want to devote the most amount of time to its design because, big or small, its the most essential room in the house.

The flag went up.
One minute.
One minute and ten seconds he reminded himself.
"Start me at thirty seconds" he told his dad.
His father fed the belt down between the seat and the engine.
He reached around and turned on the chain oiler.
Two turns, he didn't forget this time.
He slid forward in the seat and pulled his jacket down.
Karts in the first split started firing up.
The starter lowered the flag to halfway – thirty seconds.
He nodded to his dad.
The belt squealed for a second and the engine started turning over.
He put his hand over the carb inlet.
Fuel splashed on his fingers.
The engine fired sounding rough, loaded up.
He turned the high-speed needle in and the engine cleaned out.
Don't want to hurt the clutch, keep the revs down.
The first wave pulled out.
The guy next to him pulled out about 3 feet.
Then stopped and his crew pulled him back.
He rev'ed the engine higher.
His dad held out his hand with all five fingers out.
Four fingers.
Three fingers.
The flag dropped.

COLLEGE STATION – A recent conference turned out to be a win-win situation for a longtime English professor at Wayland Baptist University.
Dr. Arch Mayfield, professor of English at Wayland for the past 33 years, recently returned from the Conference of College Teachers of English, hosted by Texas A&M University and Blinn College and held in College Station.

Manchester Crimewatch: Man accused of selling heroin complains about high bail
MANCHESTER - A man accused of selling heroin on five occasions in June, July and August 2012, and of possessing heroin with intent to sell Thursday complained to a Circuit Court, Manchester District Division judge Thursday about the proposed bail.
Police prosecutor Lt. Peter Favreau requested $100,000 cash/surety bail for German Grullon, 22, of 235 Agnes St., saying Grullon has a limited record as an adult, with only a disorderly conduct conviction in Salem, but is accused of selling heroin to a police confidential informant on five occasions over a three-month period last year and of having heroin in his possession when arrested.
Grullon was arrested on warrants as a result of an investigation by the Manchester Police Special Investigations Unit. A Manchester SWAT team executed a search warrant at the Agnes Street address at about 5 p.m. Wednesday.
Asked by Judge Thomas Barry if he had anything to say about bail, Grullon responded: "I think that's not a reasonable amount for me and my family to come up with."
Barry set bail at $100,000 and granted a prosecution request about bail funds, telling Grullon: "If you come up with any bail money, we're going to have a hearing on the source of the funds."
Grullon could enter no plea to the felony charges, so a probable cause hearing was set for March 21.
Restaurants targeted
Ronald Huard, 47, who lists the homeless shelter as his address, was arraigned Thursday in Circuit Court, Manchester District Division on two felony burglary charges and a misdemeanor of theft by unauthorized taking.
He is accused of burglarizing the Midtown Cafe, 814 Elm St., Jan. 26 and the 11 Eleven Bistro, 36 Lowell St., Feb. 3. He's also accused of taking a case of liquor from the Wild Rover Pub, 21 Kosciuszko St., Jan. 15.
Asked if he had any comment on the $50,000 cash/surety bail proposed by the prosecution, Huard said: "I think it's a little stiff."
But after hearing from police prosecutor Carissa Pelletier that Huard has seven prior burglary convictions, Barry said the amount was justified.
Told a probable cause hearing on the felonies was set for March 21, Huard asked Judge Thomas Barry: "Can I waive that? Barry told him to talk to his attorney. Trial on the misdemeanor was set for April 10.
Failure to appear waived
Circuit Court, Manchester District Division Judge Thomas Barry Thursday waived a $50 failure to appear fee for Kevin Hilton, 22, of 174 Beech Hill Ave.
Hilton was scheduled to appear in court Nov. 7, 2012, on a violation of operating without a license, but he told Barry: "I was incarcerated on that day." Asked why, Hilton said it was for failure to pay restitution on an arson conviction.
A new trial date was set for May 7.
Stealing Xbox items
Police responding to the report of a burglary in progress on Central Street Wednesday morning arrested two people.
A person who lived across the street told officers he had seen two men enter and leave the building several times.
After a perimeter was established around the house, officers contacted Brian Shuman, 21, of Edwin Almonte, 18, at the rear door.
Police said further investigation determined Shuman and Almonte, who both live at 537 Central St., had entered the victim's building and removed Xbox games and controllers Wednesday and the Xbox console Tuesday.
Police recovered the stolen items and both Shuman and Almonte were charged with burglary.
Says he's homeless
Bo Strandnes, 45, who said he is homeless, pleaded innocent to two sets of charges Thursday in Circuit Court, Manchester District Division.
Strandnes pleaded innocent to Jan. 22 city charges of failure to use required turn signal and operating after suspension on Manchester Street, and Jan. 24 state liquor commission enforcement charges of Driving Under the Influence second or third offense, subsequent offense operating after revocation or suspension, and transporting open alcoholic beverages in the Vine Street Garage. Strandnes was convicted of DWI Jan. 28, 2010 in Derry.
Bail was continued at $1,000 personal recognizance. Trial was set for May 20.

Here are your random thoughts for a Tuesday:
Here are your random thoughts for a Tuesday:
� Former East Union softball standout Erin Arevalo's No. 25 jersey was retired at the school's spring banquet on Monday. Arevalo was The Record's All-Area Pitcher of the Year in 2008. She twice pitched in the College World Series while at Georgia and joins Gary Kron, Scott Brooks and Danelle Liles-Bishop, who made their marks in basketball, on the school's retired jerseys list.
� Defense, pitching and timely hitting are why Delta's baseball team will compete for its second state title in four seasons this weekend. The Mustangs have not lost a game this postseason, and will take on Oxnard College at noon Saturday at Fresno City College. Orange Coast and Sequoias make up the other half of the Final Four.
� Loyola Marymount's baseball team caught the Sacramento River Cats game on Monday after taking 2 of 3 from Pacific last weekend in Stockton, ending the Tigers' hopes of competing this week in the West Coast Conference tournament. The Lions, Gonzaga, Pepperdine and Santa Clara will play for an NCAA tournament berth Thursday through Saturday at Stockton Ballpark.
� ESPN and TNT apparently are the D-League for NBA coaches. The Warriors went to the broadcast booth for the second time in as many head coaching hires, persuading Steve Kerr to put down the headset and grab a white board, just as it did three years ago when it hired Mark Jackson. Like Jackson at the time, Kerr has no coaching experience at any level, yet will fetch $25 million over five years. Jackson was dismissed after leading the Warriors to playoff appearances the past two seasons, and is back announcing NBA games.
� The Sacramento River Cats reportedly are entertaining the thought of luring the Giants' Triple-A franchise from Fresno to Raley Field after this season. The River Cats have won four Pacific Coast League titles in 14 seasons in Sacramento, so the product on the field has been top-notch, and attendance has been strong.
� California Chrome can breathe easier now that the New York Racing Association and Gaming Commission unanimously lifted its ban on nasal strips, which the horse has worn during his six-race winning streak, including the first two legs of the Triple Crown. Smart move. Horse racing will be relevant nationally leading up to the Belmont on June 7, when California Chrome will try to be the 12th Triple Crown winner and the first since Affirmed in 1978.
� Central to the NBA's charge filed Monday against Clippers owner Donald Sterling reads, "Donald Sterling has taken discriminatory actions and supported discriminatory positions that have had (and will continue to have) a material adverse impact on the NBA and its teams." The league knew for decades about Sterling's discriminatory business practices and positions, and did nothing. Now that he's bad for their business, the hammer falls.

Photographers love cities that are culturally diverse because they're visually interesting, and young people love them because of the energy and creativity that often exists in cities with a wide mix of people.
"Diversity certainly makes for a more interesting city," said Bert Sperling of Sperling's Best Places.
It means a ton of restaurants and shops beyond the usual big-box chains as well as festivals and other cultural events that can make you feel as if you're traveling — right in your own backyard. Plus, it offers an opportunity to learn about the history and traditions of different cultures.
Here are the 10 most diverse cities in America.

Meda Pharma GmbH & Co. KG v. Alfa Wassermann spa, Giellepi Chemicals srl, Milan court of appeal, Italy, 10 July 2014 – 16 October 2014
This judgment has confirmed the one rendered in the first instance, dated 23 September 2010 - 17 December 2010, which may be read here.
Apart from procedural issues, this judgment has two points of interest.
- Validity of a disclaimer - The court of appeal has confirmed that a disclaimer can be regarded as valid when it satisfies the conditions defined by the EPO. The grounds are substatially the same stated in the first-instance judgment, to which reference is made without any significant argument being added (pages 15, 16).
- Infringement prior to a disclaimer – It was substantially unquestioned that the activity at issue had been discontinued shortly after the beginning of the dispute in December 2006. One of the debated points was whether there had been infringement before that. The appellees argued that no infringement could be imagined. One reason was that the disclaimer had not even been proposed at that time, so that the patent claims were still in their original and invalid form. A further reason was that the indications of use with which the product was sold did not not even fall within the claims as limited; in other words, there would have been no infringement even if the claims had already been limited at that time.

The most noticeable features of C. bactrianus are their two humps. At the hump, average height is 213 cm (7 feet). A thick, shaggy, dark brown to beige coat covers the camel during cold weather and is shed when the temperature rises. Longer hair hangs from the neck and gives the appearance of a beard. Bushy eyebrows, a double row of eyelashes, ears lined with hair and the ability to close nostrils and lips tightly serve as protection from harsh, blowing winds and sand. Their tough, even-toed feet help them to cross the rocky deserts of Asia and travel well through snow or sand.

Imagine playing games with your friends online and having a blast when all of a sudden this pre teen squeak of a voice shouts expletives with every other word. Apparently these 12- year old boys also know how to keep my mom happy in the bedroom and do so frequently. What's that? Oh, I should visit noob camp this weekend so I can practice on becoming less of a noob? Fair enough. More often than not I find myself muting my headset and just play with the chat off completely. If I wanted to hear children scream and curse I would visit the local Chuck.E.Cheese and push that mouse off of the stage. So kids, if you are reading this, go to bed while adults try to have a civilized game of murder murder die die.
I really hate that crap too but the one thing I see in common with your issue and everyone else are that no one remembers that you can mute these individuals.I do it all the time.
If someone is playing music or generally being a douche, he get's the mute boot. When I'm playing, half the match is hearing everyone else telling the obnoxious idiot to be quiet. All they need to do is mute the guy.
I really think there a few people who actually like it so they can spend the whole game arguing with each other. Otherwise, why not mute them. It doesn't make sense.
I'd take local multiplayer over online any day, and it pains me that this addition is so scarce when back in the ps2/Xbox/GC days it was a standard feature. It will probably only get worse next gen with all the social bs taking priority.
the only MP i enjoyed was KZ2 and Resistance 2 8 player co-op
otherwise usually i don't even go online, hopefully with ps4/xbox one playing online will become a better experience
I haven't played online in awhile. Most of the people I did game online with game at night and now that I work nights it makes it impossible to play with them. I hate gaming with random people because you either run into the idiots mentioned in the article or you have people who won't communicate together and then blame everyone else but their own lacking as to why they lost. Hopefully soon I can get back up with my friends because yes we mostly do mute the other team and generally we communicate well.
Also the download situation is supposed to be better on XBOX One and PS4 so if maybe something can be done about the idiots (which I highly doubt) maybe then we can all get along and just have fun online.
I play online almost every day. I usually get a few games of zombies in, a lil TDM MW3, a lil Borderlands 2, A little bit of this, a little bit of that and i find my self muting almost everybody. I no longer use a head set due to the the bickering and complaining. I just don't want to hear it anymore. I also dont want everybody and there mom hearing my conversations or Girlfriend talking dirty or my kids laughing at either me or others misfortune. My kids have been wanting to use headsets and ive refused to let them use them. My oldest loves to laugh at others while yelling FAIL!. I think most of the issues online are due to bad parenting. Ive already agreed to let him use a headset with the PS4 but i have been teaching him about headset etiquette. He has started realizing what he was saying out loud and i point out " what if others heard you saying that" and hes noticing other peoples rude conversations online too. Once i let him loose on the community i feel he will be ready to have mature conversations and proper communication with his team mates. If others took this approach im sure the online community would be a better place. I guess what im saying is teach your kids not to be d!cks.. lol

What Is The Face To Face Program
FACE TO FACE, founded 1992, is a humanitarian and educational surgical exchange program conducted under the sponsorship of the Educational and Research Foundation for the American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (AAFPRS). In the United States and abroad, AAFPRS surgeons provide complimentary care to those who suffer from facial deformities caused by birth or trauma. The FACE TO FACE program offers individuals the opportunity to overcome the physical limitations placed on them by circumstances beyond their control – deformities at birth, domestic violence, and war. AAFPRS surgeons use their expertise to perform plastic and reconstructive surgery of the face, head, and neck.
FACE TO FACE is staffed by medical personnel – facial plastic and reconstructive surgeons, nurses, speech pathologists and anesthesiologists – who donate their time and expertise, frequently for two weeks at a time. AAFPRS surgeons travel all over the world, with a single mission. to treat one face at a time, one person at a time.
FACE TO FACE – International
Members travel all over the world to help individuals whose faces were damaged at birth, by disease or by war. In addition, AAFPRS members share their knowledge and the latest techniques in facial plastic surgery with their international colleagues. To date, it is estimated that AAFPRS FACE TO FACE volunteers have helped approximately one thousand people worldwide. (Recent missions have included: Vietnam, Croatia, Russia and China.)
FACE TO FACE – The National Domestic Violence Project
Members volunteer to help victims of domestic abuse who cannot afford to receive treatment for facial injuries. These efforts repair both physical and psychological scars and help women to regain self-esteem and begin to rebuild their lives.
The AAFPRS is the world's largest association of facial plastic and reconstructive surgeons – with more than 2,600 members – whose cosmetic and reconstructive surgery focuses on the face, head and neck. Academy fellows are board-certified and subscribe to a code of ethics

Canada edge United States to reach final
Canada edged the United States 1-0 on Friday to advance to the final of the Sochi Winter Olympic men's ice hockey competition, and a chance to successfully defend their 2010 gold.
They will face Sweden, 2-1 winners over Finland in the other semi-final, on Sunday to decide the gold just hours before the closing ceremony.
Jamie Benn scored early in the second period for the game's only goal as Canada once again came out on top in what was a mouth-watering do-or-die rematch of the 2010 Vancouver Winter Games gold medal contest.
Carey Price was brilliant in the Canadian net, stopping 31 shots to earn the shutout.
Thousands of miles and nine times zones away, hockey-mad Canadians - still buzzing from a stunning 3-2 overtime win over the United States in the women's final on Thursday - came together for another day of compelling action on the ice.
Businesses and work places across the Great White North emptied and bars filled to capacity as millions of hockey fans tuned in to watch the first meeting between the North American rivals since Canada claimed the Olympic title four years ago in Vancouver with a golden goal from Sidney Crosby.
Canada are trying to win their first Olympic gold medal outside North America in 62 years and become the first country since the 1988 Soviets to successfully defend the title.
A unified team also won in 1992 after the break-up of the Soviet Union.
Earlier at the Bolshoy Ice Dome, Erik Karlsson's second-period blast from the point put Sweden through to the gold medal final for the second time in three Olympics.
The game against Finland, a repeat of the 2006 Turin Games final, got off to a sluggish start as both sides seemed wary of committing the first mistake and falling behind in what was expected to be a tight affair.
After a scoreless opening period, Finland opened the scoring when Olli Jokinen beat Swede Jimmie Ericsson to a loose puck and fired a shot that squeezed through Henrik Lundqvist's legs and trickled over the goal line.
Sweden struck back five minutes later when Loui Eriksson sent a low shot past a sprawling Kari Lehtonen, who was starting in place of the flu-ridden Tuukka Rask.
Karlsson put his team in front when he fired a shot from the point that hit Lehtonen before finding its way into the net with less than four minutes to play in the second period.

Qinetiq named as nation mourns end of whale's flotation
Boffins, RN deny 'friendly-fire' depth-charging
Fate can be a dreadful thing. Gravy train... er, defence contractor Qinetiq is poised to float with uncountable squillions expected for all concerned, and - purely coincidentally - the marketing bunnies have been busy over the past year or twain enhancing the outfit's imagery as a purveyor of shiny high tech Q-type secret weaponry. But now - argh! - could it be planet-despoiling wildlife-terminating whale depth-charging Q-type weaponry?
And if the late Thames Whale was indeed depth-charged, then legal experts reckon that it was the Queen's whale at time of depth-charging. Cripes...
According to today's Times, sonar and "military explosions" may be to blame for disorientating London's best-loved marine mammal. Sonar (usually, the US Navy's sonar) is frequently accused of responsibility for whale beachings, so it's by no means unusual that it should figure in the nation's agonised inquest. But as culprits, "military explosions" are less usual.
The Times claims Kent coast residents and marine scientists have suggested that the whale could have been confused by "huge explosions" from a Qinetiq operated MoD site at Shoeburyness range last week. "On Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday last week, it was like being in the middle of a war zone," said Herne Bay resident Tony Wilkinson, 65. And he's not even a whale.
And if the whale was the subject of military action, then it seems probable that this was a 'friendly fire' incident. The Guardian''s redoubtable legal correspondent Marcel Berlins tells us that live whales, under a statute of 1324, are classed as 'fishes royal', so are the Queen's property, if not quite family. Dead whales, Berlins continues, are the property of the Receiver of Wrecks, and this not being the usual protocol followed for royal funerals, we feel sure that the whale wasn't family.
Any explosions at Shoeburyness could not possibly have affected the whale, said a Qinetiq spokeswoman, describing the claims as "opportunistic" (much like this story, indeed). The Royal Navy also appears to be denying responsibility. Nevertheless, there should surely be a finquest. ®
* A public-spirited well wisher draws our attention to British Divers Marine Life Rescue (BDMLR), which didn't quite succeed in saving the whale, but which did incur substantial costs, including a £300 parking fine, while trying. BDMLR is trying to recoup costs by auctioning the watering can used to douse the whale on eBay. The link above or an eBay search for "whale watering can" should see you alright. At least it's not the water...

It is possible that the main title of the report Pars Planitis is not the name you expected. Please check the synonyms listing to find the alternate name(s) and disorder subdivision(s) covered by this report.
Although pars planitis is generally benign, there can be significant vision loss in extreme cases. It is an immunological disorder of the eye characterized by inflammation of a part of the uvea, the layer of tissue between the sclera and the retina, the membranes protecting the eyeball. The uvea, in turn, is made up of three portions: the iris, the ciliary body, and the choroid. In addition, the uvea contains many of the blood vessels that supply the eye.
The pars plana is a narrow section of the ciliary body, inflammation of which is known as pars planitis. In association with the inflammation or immunological response, fluid and cells infiltrate the clear gelatin-like substance (vitreous humor) of the eyeball, near the retina and/or pars plana. As a result, swelling of the eye or eyes can also occur, but more importantly blurred vision and progressive increase in the vision of floaters is reported as main symptoms by patients suffering this condition as a result of the infiltration of the vitreous humor.
The inflammation occurs in the intermediate zone of the eye; that is, between the anterior part(s) of the eye (iris) and the posterior part(s), the retina and/or choroid. It has therefore been designated as one of the diseases of a family of intermediate uveitis.
In some cases, the disturbance of vision may be slightly progressive.

SHADOW OF RAGE / Despite high hopes, South Africa has failed to create a racially blind society
For decades in South Africa, nonracialism -- a vision of a society in which racial categories would cease to be important and even fall away -- was a central principle of the anti-apartheid movement.
It was a breathtaking notion: that perhaps the most explicitly racist society on the planet could be transformed into a racial nirvana that would obliterate racial distinctions imposed on the population by the apartheid state.
But today, a dozen years after apartheid officially ended, South Africa is still a long way from creating a "nonracial society." South Africans are finding it hard to throw off a racial grid that has left a deep mark on the psyche and structure of the entire society.
Instead of disappearing, racial classifications are still a potent force. But this time it is whites, and to a lesser extent, "colored" (mixed race) and Indian South Africans who feel discriminated against.
Whites who were once favored to get jobs, especially in government, now find themselves at the back of the line, and many wonder whether there is a place for them in the new South Africa.
"In every ministry and municipality, on the railways and in the power stations, in the technikons (technical colleges) and universities, there has been a clearing out of white expertise," fumed R.W. Johnson in an Aug. 2 column in Business Day, South Africa's major business newspaper. "In many cases the replacements can't do their jobs, but in many cases senior jobs just sit unfilled because no one's willing to employ a white. ... Whites have been shoved out everywhere, hugely contributing to the skills crisis, and a far narrower inward-looking Africanism has taken its place."
The emerging movement to "Africanize" South Africa has infused race into issues as diverse as the causes and treatment of AIDS and African contributions to the art of Pablo Picasso.
These days, the term "rainbow nation" has almost disappeared from national discourse. And when it is used, it is to describe what South Africa might become, rather than what it is.
Almost every sector of the society is being goaded by the government to become more representative of the majority black population -- from the now-largely white ownership of the media and the faculty at leading universities to the makeup of cricket and rugby teams and the command structure of the defense force.
It's sobering to note that even though Nelson Mandela became the country's first black president in 1994 (and stepped down in 1999), 75 percent of the colonels and lieutenant colonels in the defense force are still white.
"I still hope and hold on to the ideal of nonracialism," said Khehla Shubane, a former political prisoner on Robben Island who became executive director of the Nelson Mandela Foundation. He is now director of Business Map Foundation, a nonprofit organization that helps companies become more racially representative. "But I think in fashioning the nonracial idea, not enough thought was given to how we get from where we were to where we want to be."
Clearly, the vision of a race-free South Africa -- embodied in the principle of nonracialism articulated by the African National Congress for a half century or more -- did not fully anticipate how racial inequities would be eradicated in a post-apartheid society. Before being able to do away with race, President Thabo Mbeki and others in the ruling ANC argue, racial categories can be used to level the playing field, to make sure that whites don't continue to own all the resources in the society, and to free up the latent talent in the black population for whom avenues of expression were blocked by apartheid-era laws. To ignore the racial architecture created by apartheid, they argue, would effectively leave white privilege untouched.
South Africa's 10-year-old constitution specifically mentions "nonracialism" as a pillar on which the new society should be built. The constitution prohibits "unfair discrimination" against anyone on the basis of race. But it also allows for "legislative and other measures" to "achieve equality" and to "protect or advance persons, or categories of persons, disadvantaged by unfair discrimination."
That provision, Article 9, has opened the door to perhaps the most aggressive affirmative action program anywhere in the world -- not to benefit a minority, as in the United States, but to benefit the 90 percent of the population who are black, colored or Indian. (South Africa's population of 45 million is 79 percent black, 9.6 percent white, 8.9 percent colored and 2.5 percent Indian, of Asian descent). Almost every significant institution in both the private and public sectors has what are called "transformation units" staffed by "transformation managers" whose job it is to implement "transformation charters" intended to make their institutions more racially representative.
Those companies that don't change run the risk of being publicly ridiculed, frozen out of business deals or losing government funding.
The government has issued "codes of good practice" that include criteria for giving preferences to black-owned businesses in government contracts. Different sectors of the economy -- mining, petroleum and liquid fuels, financial services, information technology and so on -- have also been expected to come up with industrywide charters that commit particular sectors to diversify ownership and employment. Although they are supposed to be voluntary, in effect any company that wants to get a government contract must subscribe to an industry charter.
No program has been more controversial than "black economic empowerment," or BEE, as it is commonly called. Mbeki, who succeeded Nelson Mandela as president in 1999, has made creation of a "black capitalist class" the top priority of his government. The "Broad-based Black Economic Empowerment Act" of 2003 has created a massive transfer of corporate wealth to a small but growing black elite -- many of the now extremely wealthy black businessmen were former anti-apartheid activists and senior members of Mandela's post-apartheid government.
Among the best known is Tokyo Sexwale, the former premier of Gauteng province, now reportedly a billionaire who has acquired three aircraft, including a Lear Jet he bought for his wife on Valentine's Day. Last year alone, black empowerment deals helped create nearly 6,000 millionaires.
The government argues that by forcing companies to diversify their ownership, South Africa is moving toward "deracializing" the society as a whole. But the program has been tarnished by a range of criticisms, including that in too many instances white-owned companies have used blacks in a practice known as "fronting" to secure government contracts even as the companies remain effectively controlled by whites.
Archbishop Desmond Tutu harshly criticized the government for programs that enrich a black elite "at the stroke of a pen" while most black South Africans still live in absolute poverty. "What is black empowerment when it seems to benefit not the vast majority but a small elite that tends to be recycled?" he pointedly asked in the high-profile Nelson Mandela Foundation lecture in November 2004. "Are we not building up much resentment that we may rue later? It will not do to say people did not complain when whites were enriched. When were the standards of the old regime our standards?"
The persistence of racial categories has been reinforced by an accelerating effort, articulated by Mbeki and others at the highest levels of government, to transform South Africa into a fully "African" country. The "Africanist" impulse explains at least in part Mbeki's bizarre flirtation with AIDS dissidents who questioned the link between HIV and AIDS. Mbeki viewed the explanation that AIDS is spread by sexual promiscuity among African males as just another version of racist Western stereotypes, and he saw the marketing of expensive HIV drugs by pharmaceutical companies as an extension of centuries-long exploitation of Africa by white commercial interests with profits rather than the interests of Africans in mind.
An entirely different controversy erupted when Sandile Memela, an official in the government's Department of Arts and Culture, took aim at an art exhibition in Johannesburg this spring on "Picasso and Africa." Memela said that the exhibit, intended to show the influence of Africa on Picasso, instead emphasized Picasso's genius rather than the brilliance of the African art forms he appropriated. "Picasso would not have been the renowned, creative genius ... if he did not steal and readapt the work of 'anonymous' African artists," he wrote. He accused the mostly white organizers of the exhibit of "losing a golden opportunity to put not only the work of so-called 'anonymous' African artists on a pedestal, but to reignite African pride by acknowledging African's influence on his style."
"We haven't achieved a nonracial society," conceded Albie Sachs, a justice on South Africa's Constitutional Court who barely survived assassination when a bomb exploded in the car he was driving while in exile in Mozambique in 1988.
At the same time, he argues, South Africa is doing "exceptionally well" in how it is coping with race relations in a society that many feared would be destroyed by racial wars. "One reason we are doing so well is that we are putting the problems on the table," said Sachs, who is white. "We acknowledge the reality of racism and the way it enters our conscious and unconscious mind, and it is often very painful to do that. But to pretend that we can look at the society with color-blind spectacles is an illusion."
Racial categories, he said, don't just "fall away." "They progressively diminish in importance," he said. Attempting to create a "race-free" society would have brought its own perils, he argues. "You don't want a homogenized melting pot, one that typically takes on the character of the former dominant group, so that we'd all end up talking English, wearing trousers with a neat crease in them, and take on the character of the middle-class Englishman. That is not what South Africa needs."
In recent weeks, resentment against the ruling ANC's insistence on using racial classifications has boiled over in a cascade of criticism.
"If you make yourself a hostage to a racist past, you can plan on a racist future," said Frederick van Zyl Slabbert, a former leader of the opposition in the white Parliament of the 1980s.
In hindsight, the dream that South Africa could be turned suddenly into a racial paradise after the horrors and history of apartheid was hopelessly naive."
"Nonracialism does not mean the removal of the significance of 'race,' even if 'race' is an unscientific category," wrote Raymond Suttner, a leading theorist and member of the South African Communist Party in the Mail & Guardian. He scolded whites who had been active in fighting apartheid but are now upset about programs that seem to defer the nonracial ideal. "The constitutional entrenchment of nonracialism does not remove the cumulative effects of apartheid on black people. Unscientific it may be, but the legacy of 'race' will be with us for many years."

One member of a long-standing dynasty league is leaving for personal reasons. The team is in very good shape and finished 5th last year (out of 16); you would be inheriting a competitive team.
League details: Dynasty format, H2H, free Yahoo league. 16 teams with 30 man MLB rosters and a 30 man minors roster. 6x6 scoring with OPS and Holds as the extra categories.
You should have a working knowledge of prospects that's deep and continuing - with 16 teams and 30 man minors rosters, there can be close to 500 prospects owned; knowing your favorite team's top 10 and the top 25 overall will not cut it. Managers in this league are expected to be very active, setting lineups daily, actively managing their team. It's a year-round league with offseason trading and an 8-round minors draft. You don't have to be an expert, but you're expected to be very active and do your research. It's a fun league with managers doing on their own volition, draft analysis and commentary and pre-season team power rankings. It's a competitive but very good-natured environment.
If you're looking for a league where you can truly build your team from the ground up, this is it. Just know that you'll be expected to be active and that it's a year-round league.
Also, I am looking for managers who are in it for the long haul. This is a dynasty league, so if you're looking for a fun league to try for a year and then leave, this isn't it.

Obama's agenda: Cement that legacy
February 13. 2013 5:40PM
Now it is official: President Obama's second-term agenda is to build a multi-trillion-dollar monument to President Obama, then pass the bill to our grandchildren. So it's the same agenda as in his first term, only bigger.
On the morning after the President's speech, we looked for a good estimate of the total cost of all of his new spending proposals. We did not find one, which is probably because mathemeticians are still busy doing the calculations. How does one even begin to provide an accurate projection for all of these self-aggrandizement schemes?
The President proposed creating 15 manufacturing investment institutes, spending untold sums on energy research, creating two additional stimulus programs for infrastructure spending ("Fix It First" and "A Partnership to Rebuild America"), creating a national public preschool program, funding the complete redesign of all American high schools, establishing a program to "put people back to work rebuilding vacant homes in rundown neighborhoods," and starting a new initiative to "eradicate ... extreme poverty" in the Third World and save "the world's children from preventable deaths" and eradicate AIDS. All the while, he said, "in the Middle East, we will stand with citizens as they demand their universal rights, and support stable transitions to democracy."
These are to come at the same time the federal government reshapes the entire health care sector, imposes new environmental, workplace and voting regulations, and brings 11 million or more illegal immigrants out of the shadow economy and into the regular labor market, where businesses will be required to pay everyone at least $9 an hour. On top of that he intends to throw new restrictions on gun ownership.
Such a grandiose plan is, of course, impossible to achieve, which Obama knows. It also will further weaken the economy, which he does not know. But if he accomplishes only a fraction of it, he will have cemented a leftist legacy that will ensure fawning reviews in textbooks written by left-leaning historians for decades to come.

There's just something about these last few weeks of the college football season.
Maybe it's the pressure of being in one of those top two spots in the BCS standings. Maybe it's the reality that there are no sure things in college football, and maybe there's a little voodoo at work in some of the other locales around the country.
Whatever the case, we've come to expect the unexpected when we get to this time of year.
But utter chaos?
That's what we got Saturday night in college football, and they couldn't be more ecstatic about it in South Bend, Ind., and a couple of different spots in SEC country.
In about 30 fascinating minutes, No. 1 Kansas State and No. 2 Oregon both went down. Unranked Baylor shredded Kansas State 52-24, and No. 13 Stanford stunned Oregon 17-14 in overtime.
So scratch out (in pencil, anyway) that Kansas State-Oregon matchup in the Discover BCS National Championship Game and replace it with Notre Dame against the SEC championship game winner.
Again, with the way this season has gone, make sure you have an eraser handy.
But Notre Dame will be the new No. 1 when the BCS standings are unveiled Sunday night, and Alabama likely will be No. 2.
That's right, all those last rites everybody was reading for the SEC last week after Alabama's loss to Texas A&M were premature.
The door is still wide open for the SEC to extend its national championship streak to seven in a row. Alabama has to beat Auburn on Saturday to secure a spot in the SEC championship game, but the Tigers are suffering through their worst season in 60 years and are winless in the league.
Georgia, which is expected to be No. 3 in the newest BCS standings, already has locked up its berth in the Dec. 1 SEC championship game.
Think tickets to that contest just got a lot pricier?
Assuming Alabama doesn't stumble against Auburn and Georgia handles its business against Georgia Tech, the SEC championship game becomes a play-in game for a spot in the BCS National Championship Game.
And for all those people still fuming about the all-SEC pairing in last season's BCS National Championship Game, brace yourselves. It could happen again if Notre Dame falters this weekend at USC.
Florida likely will be No. 4 in the newest BCS standings. The Gators haven't played well the past few weeks, particularly on offense. But if they can win at Florida State this weekend, that would give them four wins over top-10 opponents, which could very easily push them into one of those top two spots in the final BCS standings should Notre Dame lose at USC.
It will be interesting to see how far Oregon and Kansas State fall.
At this point, Oregon needs help to even make the Pac-12 championship game. The Ducks will be pulling for UCLA to beat Stanford this weekend.
There's also a decent chance that five of the top seven teams in the newest BCS standings will hail from the SEC.
The league that everybody (outside the South) loves to hate is poised to occupy center stage again come January.
So hold on with both hands, because something says we've not seen the last of the chaos.

Industry Resources
Flip.to is the brand advocate platform for hotels that turns their guests into engaged advocates to boost brand awareness and earn new guests. Launched in 2010, Flip.to is a platform designed to reach travelers around the world in a natural, trusted way and have a significant, measurable impact on a hotel's bottom line.
Travelers look to their friends and family as the most trusted reference when planning a trip. With Flip.to, an introduction to a hotel from a guest advocate creates brand awareness for thousands of connections worldwide.
With Brand Advocacy, starting right at the point of booking guests share with their friends and family about their upcoming trip. This exposure to a huge pool of people is just the start of the marketing funnel. Flip.to then serves up a custom experience on the hotel's website for each and every friend or relative of the guest, taking them down the path toward a future booking at the hotel.
Flip.to recently launched Photo Advocacy - a visually captivating way to take guests' experiences viral to massive new audiences around the world. Hotels can crowdsource creativity, curate the best photos and create social content that can be shared to create a visually distinct brand story.
Flip.to has clients around the world, including hotels in England, France, Spain, Melbourne, Bali, Kuala Lumpur, Jerusalem, Penang, Istanbul and more. The platform has the capability to easily accommodate multiple languages.
Every part of the Flip.to platform is designed to drive potential guests to the hotel website while encouraging them to book a future stay. A typical hotel will turn 18 percent of its guests into brand advocates. Those guests will reach tens of thousands of people on a monthly basis. This will drive new, more qualified traffic to the website and create new bookings for the hotel.
All of these metrics are tracked within the Flip.to system, helping hotels monetize word-of-mouth marketing in a quantifiable way. And it all starts with a hotel's own guests.
To find out more about how Flip.to can help create a significant, measurable impact for your hotel, please get in touch with Debi Moses at email@example.com or visit www.flip.to.

We still don't have a WP7 device but, at this point, it's more about having the available time to work on it which we don't have right now since we're working on a lot of things. But WP7 is something we will support when we have the time.
Sweet, glad to hear it. Can't wait to get it and watch CR during my breaks at work.
http://create.msdn.com/en-US/. I'm still an amateur programmer but I like to browse the MSDN site for any info and they have a lot of resources on development for the platform. I have a HTPC but I bet many other people would love to see an app for the XBox360. I follow alot of info on ZDnet and I know that Microsoft now provides the tools to make it easier to port apps from one mobile platform to another, but a native app would still be the best. Thanks for looking into it for us though.
I work for Microsoft, so if you do have dev time and need some help greasing the skids (obtaining a device) let me know.
Are there any more updates on this? With Mango just around the corner... it might be the time for an update? :)
The problem is that Microsoft has terrible market share numbers: http://www.comscore.com/Press_Events/Press_Releases/2011/8/comScore_Reports_June_2011_U.S._Mobile_Subscriber_Market_Share
That analysis says MS is at 5.8% in June 2011, down 1.7% from Mar 2011. I'm not sure if that is counting only W7 or also the old WM5/6 OS too. If it does include the latter, that makes W7 really, really small.
EDIT: Another report http://www.millennialmedia.com/wp-content/images/mobilemix/MM-MobileMix-June2011.pdf says that WP7 is growing, but it must be a really, really tiny number overall. They only give Microsoft a 2% market share (again, not saying if that is WP7-only or also includes the WM5/6 line). Of the top 20 phones ranked by "impressions" (whatever that means), no WP7 phone is listed, meaning that none are above 0.73%, which is the phone placed at #20.
I think market share is usually gauged by new sales so it wouldn't include people with older phones.
Former Crunchyroll Employee
So are there any updates to this possible wp7 app coming in the future? Window Phone 7.5 mango came out and I must say Android and ios is now something I do not want to go back to. Wp7 is growing and its growing FAST.
Really need this app now for windows phone 7
Hmm, really enjoying the free trial, but don't know if it would be worth it to subscribe if I have no way to view my favourite shows on a mobile platform. I usually watch fansubs on my PC, so 7$ a month for a streaming site only really makes sense for something I can do on my mobile form factor of choice. I don't really see why the mobile CR site uses Flash considering you guys have an android app and android is the only platform that supports flash, and realistically Android's browser should be able to handle the desktop version anyway, seems like HTML5 would make a lot more sense, since all 3 major mobile OSs now have native support for HTML5.
Just the two cents of a passerby who is on the fence about subscribing to the CR Premium anime service.
Oh yes. I hope this will be up soon.
This is how the fire starts. This is how we burn.
I will add to the list:
A WP7 app should be a priority!!! This is why WP7 is having a hard time penetrating the market: because app makers (like Crunchy Roll) don't seem to think it's important.
A mobile app would guarantee a paid, long-term subscription from me. Also, an Xbox Live app (which also should be a HIGH priority).
Come on guys!!! Let's get this ball rolling!!! I can get a development kit being a normal, everyday consumer. Surely Crunchy Roll has more clout than I do...
I have yet to own a smart phone, I started to look into buying one mid-2011 and I have to go with a Windows phone.
Why you ask?
Because I've had an Xbox/Zune since launch and way back before Crunchyroll went legit with the content I purchased a lot of content through the Zune market place (Desert Punk, Kiddy Grade, Solty Rei, Gun X Sword, Witchblade, every single episode with ENG subs *blech*) . I'm older and wiser now but I'd hate to see all that money I blew go to waste, I'd like to be able to synch all that Zune content to my phone, but the main reason I'm holding off on getting it is the lack of a Crunchyroll App.
Once that app is released its bye-bye cheap $20 pay as you go Virgin Mobile and hello Sprint phone. Then I'll be able to browse NFL.com on my company laptop while streaming Eyeshield 21 and overall not being a productive team member at work.
We have started working on a WP7 app in some capacity but I can't say if or when it will be released.
Former Crunchyroll Employee
Have you guys heard of BlueStack, I guess it is to late now since you started working on the app already, but bluestack will come naively integrated in windows phone 8 and what it does is you can use android apps on your windows phone 8 device, very cool.
It also seems blackberry is offering a blackberry playbook for people who want to transfer their apps over to their market, they have an easy system to migrate apps over to blackberry from android I heard.
Though I heard it costs like a 1,000 dollars a year to have your app on their market.
Just got the Nokia Lumina with the w7os an digging it but I miss my droid because your crunchroll app was my shit an even upgraded an bought the app but now I got the Nokia an I can't get my fix of anime an paying for it. What an when are you guys going to come out with the w7
