Flying Nun Font
A few months back in class we had a Flying Nun CD & DVD set to re-package. Flying Nun is THE iconic music label in New Zealand just in case you haven't heard of them. We had to design the CD/DVD cover in a style suitable for the Flying Nun label.
I wasn't quite sure how to go about this…most of my class just did the whole collage type thing. Which works well…but seemed a bit obvious.
I decided to go a bit out there…but not really. I just drew the nun icon character giving birth to herself.
I then decided it would be fun to make the font for the package out of the nun character. I did this for the letters I needed at the time..but thought I should really finish off the set.
Below is the finished font. Never seen anywhere else I might add. Enjoy.

Michigan multiplexes had better save a seat for Ted Nugent all four
movies hitting theaters this weekend involve hunting of some kind, from the
dragons in "Reign of Fire" and the crocs of "The Crocodile Hunter: Collision
Course" to "Halloween: Resurrection"'s pack of hapless teens and the mob's
search for Tom Hanks in "Road to Perdition."
Dragons are breeding, breathing fire and flying around, all while laying
waste to London in "Reign of Fire." It's up to Matthew McConaughey ("A Time
to Kill") and Christian Bale ("American Psycho") to stop them.
"It was a lot of fun," McConaughey said of playing dragon-slayer Denton Van
Zan. "I mean, there was no rules to it, slaying dragons in the future
go be the man of action, the badass, the get physical, run through something
instead of around it, eat it instead of smell it [type of character]" (see
"Summer Film Season Heats Up With Studs,
Fire-Breathing Dragons").
McConaughey may be hunting mythical creatures, but Steve Irwin is chasing
scaly beasts of the all-too-real variety. "The Crocodile Hunter: Collision
Course" marks the big-screen debut of the popular television personality,
who hails from the land of AC/DC, INXS and Crocodile Dundee.
Unlike fellow (if fictional) Aussie Dundee, Irwin's no poacher. He's devoted
his life, as well as all of his profits from the film, to crocodile rescue
and wildlife conservation. The film's fictitious plot sees him chasing a
nasty critter who's swallowed a top secret satellite beacon, with his wife
Terri by his side and secret agents hot on his trail.
A hunter of a very different kind is on the trail of teens in "Halloween:
Resurrection." The eighth installment in the long-running slasher franchise
sees the white-masked Michael Myers return to his childhood home when a
group of kids sets up a webcast from inside. "Halloween Resurrection" stars
series veteran Jamie Lee Curtis, Sean Patrick Thomas ("Save the Last Dance")
and Busta Rhymes, who has called the movie "the most flavorful 'Halloween'
story" (see "Busta Rhymes 'Flabbergasted'
By 'Halloween: Resurrection' ").
While Myers stalks for sport, Tom Hanks kills for money in "Road to
Perdition," in which the Oscar-winning actor plays against type as a 1930s
Chicago hit man. His son becomes marked by mob boss (and fellow Oscar
winner) Paul Newman after he witnesses a shooting.
All four flicks will go up against "Men in Black II," "Minority Report,"
"Mr. Deeds" and the rest of this year's consistently strong summer stable.

So this spring I am all for a moist luster with soft tones. I have to get some new highlighter products, both cream and powder and also a nice bronzer. For the nails I want soft tones of pink I'm leaving my darker colors for fall. I'm all about pink pastels now. I have a new plan for my hair witch needs a makeover, a longer bob is what I dream about.

LONG BEACH — As the van pulled into Lincoln Park, a visible surge of excitement coursed through the ragtag crowd on the grass. What had seemed like lethargy suddenly became movement. Heads popped out of tattered sleeping bags like gophers out of holes. A shirtless young man sprinted 30 yards from where he was sitting, straight to the curb. And in a short time, the crowd had formed into a long scraggly line along the sidewalk beside the van.
Forty minutes later when the van pulled away, 75 of them had been given sack lunches. A few had new pairs of shoes, and several others sported new coats.
"It keeps you from starving," said Frank Druyor, 30, rummaging through the brown paper bag containing a hot dog on sourdough bread, baked beans and a carton of milk. An unemployed dishwasher, Druyor said he has been living in his car for two months. But he makes it a point to come to the park each day about noon because that's when the van arrives. And lunches from the van, he said, are one thing he can depend on.
"I think this is one of the greatest things that's ever happened in this town," said Daniel Duritsch, 39, as he slipped his tired-looking feet into a nearly new pair of shiny brown shoes, size 9 1/2. "When people get hungry they'll do things they wouldn't ordinarily do. Once you get down, it's hard to get back up."

I have several questions that I hope I can receive quality advice on.
Here is where I stand with my academic achievements and legal experience:
1. Graduating with slightly over the 3.0 gpa but just missing the top 50% at a tier 2 law school in the Pacific Northwest.
2. 2 Public Sector Internships and 1 Natural Resource Law Internship through a clinic.
3. Member of a campus student group on sustainability.
1. In Los Angeles or in California in general, what jobs would I have a high likelihood of getting based on my grades and experience alone? (I can even work at the low end and work my way up so it does not have to be big law or even mid sized)
2.What would be the most logical and best strategy moving forward in terms of taking the bar exam and looking for jobs? (Take the CA bar in July and then accept a job or look for jobs and go into one while studying for the July 2017 bar).
I would greatly appreciate anyone's input. I know realistically my resume is not strong enough to land me anything on its own and that I need to put in a lot of effort, possibly attending countless networking events. But I know I am not doomed as many others with weaker resumes have landed positions as well. I would like to know the best way to go about this process if you were in my shoes.

Nursing Home Litigation
Nursing homes have complete control of our loved ones, who cannot care for themselves fully. The nurses and doctors at these facilities help them rise, go to the bathroom, eat, and move throughout the facility. Because of this, nursing homes have an enormous responsibility to ensure the safety of their patients.
Also, as medical professionals, they are responsible for making sure that the patients in their care received appropriate medical treatment, including trips to the emergency room, antibiotics, and sufficient intake of fluids.
Unfortunately, nursing home regulations are not always followed to the letter: shortcuts are taken, steps are skipped. As a result, patient care can suffer. In most instances, this does not develop into a major concern. However, occasionally, there are serious and sometimes even life-threatening results.
We have handled a number of nursing home cases involving abuse, substandard care and the failure to follow proper protocols. If you or a family member has been injured in a nursing home and you believe that the staff or doctors are responsible, please call us and we can discuss the case and your available options.
Medical Malpractice
Physicians and other healthcare provider must comply with the appropriate standard of care when treating their patients. "Standard of Care" means the proper way to deal with a medical condition or set of symptoms.
Medical malpractice or medical negligence occurs when a doctor, nurse or other specialist deviates from the standards established by the medical community. If the appropriate level of care was not provided and a patient suffers injury or death, the healthcare provider may be held responsible.
Our firm represents individuals and families who are victims of medical malpractice. We investigate and research your claim to determine whether you have a medical malpractice case. We consult with some of the best medical experts in the world to determine the cause and impact of a provider's negligent care.
We have handled cases involving:
- Birth injuries and pregnancy difficulties
- Brain injuries and traumatic brain injuries
- Emergency room treatment
- Medication errors, prescription errors, and pharmacy errors
- Misdiagnosis or failure to diagnose
- Nursing mistakes
- Spinal cord injuries
- Surgical errors
- Dialysis related injuries or death
- Hospital malpractice
- Nursing home malpractice
If you or a family member has been injured, and you believe that is the result of medical negligence, call us and we can provide you with our thoughts about your case.

Get to Know ACC.17 Chair Jeffrey T. Kuvin and Vice Chair Andrew M. Kates
Jeffrey T. Kuvin, MD, FACC, comes from a family of physicians. "As I was growing up, the joke in my family was not if I was going to become a doctor, but what kind of doctor I would become," he says. "After all this time, I would choose no other profession. It is the perfect job for me."
Andrew M. Kates, MD, FACC, also knew from a young age that he wanted to be a physician. "I think I was five- or six-years-old," he remembers. Then, as a third-year medical student at Tufts University, Kates' first rotation was on a cardiology service. "It was such a great mix of patient care, technology, anatomy and physiology – I was hooked."
"The course sparked my interest in the vast opportunities within the College and offered a way to learn from experienced educators." — Jeffrey T. Kuvin, MD, FACC.
Kuvin, chair of ACC.17, and Kates, who is vice chair of ACC.17, both first became involved with the College through the Emerging Faculty Program. "The course sparked my interest in the vast opportunities within the College and offered a way to learn from experienced educators," says Kuvin. From there, both focused on education and fellowship training. Kuvin served as chair of ACC's In-Training Examination, with Kates joining him on the committee. Kuvin also lead the Fellow in Training Learning Portfolio project and is presently the chair of ACC's Lifelong Learning Oversight Committee, which is the College's central education committee.
It only seems natural that this path would lead them to their current ACC.17 roles. Kuvin first became involved in meeting planning as the chair of the Program Directors' Boot Camp and later as a topic coordinator. "The complexity of the process intrigued me, and to see the final results each spring has been exhilarating," he says. Kuvin then served as vice chair for ACC.15 and ACC.16.
Kates became involved as an abstract reviewer and presenter. For the last two years, he has chaired the Core Curriculum sessions with John P. Erwin III, MD, FACC, president of ACC's Texas Chapter, as well as the Health Care in Emerging Countries Symposium. He has also been involved with the Annual Scientific Session on the state level, and now serves on the Board of Governors as president of ACC's Missouri Chapter.
"It allows for sharing of knowledge but also the opportunity to interact with people – thought leaders, colleagues and old friends. — Andrew M. Kates, MD, FACC.
Over the next two years, Kuvin and Kates will work together to head the Annual Scientific Session, with Kates taking over as chair for ACC.19 and ACC.20. Kuvin hopes to be able to pick up where the last two meetings left off, continuing to focus on innovative, informative, interactive and inter-disciplinary education.
"The meeting is special because it represents a unique forum for education and science," Kates says. "It allows for sharing of knowledge but also the opportunity to interact with people – thought leaders, colleagues and old friends. These interactions can never happen just by getting Maintenance of Certification or Continuing Medical Education credits at home."
"ACC.17 is definitely the place to be for the latest science, knowledge, networking and explorations," says Kuvin. "The Annual Scientific Session is unique in that it brings together cardiovascular professionals from across the U.S. and around the world to learn from each other. The part I love the most is the energy that is generated at the meeting – it's palpable!"

Intel's 4th-Period Net Doubled As Its Revenue Rose Slightly
Chip Maker's Data Augurs for Industry A Slow but Steady Technology Recovery
Intel Corp.'s fourth-quarter profit doubled on slightly higher revenue than it had projected, a positive sign for long-suffering sellers of chips and computers.
But the company indicated that revenue in the current quarter is likely to decline a bit due to seasonal factors. Intel also said it would again trim spending on new factories and production equipment, the focus of a huge spending boom during recent years.

80 Old Main St
Natural Selections: Flora and the Arts explores through more than 20 objects how nature has inspired, impressed, and enlightened society long before the publication of Charles Darwin's On the Origin of Species in 1859. Using three themes, the exhibition explores the subject of flora and how it inspired the decorative arts.
"Botanical Studies" looks at the movement to classify, study, and teach though a selection of educational books and prints detailing floral anatomy and stages of life. "Art in Nature" delves into the museum's rich collection of decorative arts to see how plants and flowers have influenced designers and craftspeople in fields as diverse as textiles, ceramics, furniture, and architecture. Finally, "Domesticating the Outdoors" showcases ceramic and glass vessels which brought colorful and fragrant flowers and plants indoors for personal enjoyment and study.


text: Each week teachers at GMS select students of the week. These students go above and beyond in the classroom! The winners for this week are as follows: Kea Conn (Colonels), Konnan Merino-Corona (Hilltoppers), Madilyn Gonzalez (Eagles), Destinei Hutchinson (not pictured) (Knights), James White (Panthers), Seth Horn (Racers), and Samantha Harris (Tigers). Congratulations to these amazing students!

A kinder, warmer Parliament?
One of the reasons that Australian politics is the most rigid in the world is the because of 'the pledge': the promise that ALP members make to uphold the party platform and to follow decisions made by Caucus.
It is this practice that has provided Australia with the most rigid party system in the Westminster world.
If there is to be a truly consensual brand new political world, this is a practice wel worth reviewing.
We discussed this issue in a post dated 14 September 2009. It is republished below:
Senator Judith Troeth recently crossed the floor to vote with the Government in support of their plan to stop charging asylum seekers and immigration detainees for their mandatory detention.
Immigration Minister Chris Evans lauded her for her decision.
On the same day, three ALP MPs endorsed a petition calling on the government to retain the prohibition on parallel importation of books.It will be interesting to see if they cross the floor should the Government decide to remove the ban.
It is not often that ALP members cross the floor. This is because party rules prevent it.
In particular, Rule 5 says (in part):
d. The Federal Parliamentary Labor Party shall have authority in properly constituted Caucus meetings to make decisions directed towards establishing the collective attitude of the Parliamentary Party to any question or matter in the Federal Parliament, subject to:
i. at all times taking such action which may be possible to implement the Party's Platform and Conference decisions;
ii.on questions or matters which are not subject to National Platform or Conference or Executive decisions, the majority decision of Caucus being binding upon all members in the parliament; and
iii. no attitude being expressed which is contrary to the provisions of the Party Platform or any other decision of National Conference or National Executive
The existence of this rule in particular weakens the role of all Australian parliaments.
In Westminster, party whips divide votes into three categories.
In very trite terms:
a 'one line whip' tells members what the party line is, however, there is a degree of discretion as to whether the line is followed;
a 'two line whip' is a debate in which a member is expected to vote in according to the party line, unless there is a strong conscientious objection; and
a 'three line whip' is a debate where the member should simply follow the party line.
However, all that said, there are many circumstances in which members of the House of Commons have 'rebelled' from the Whip and voted against party, notwithstanding the declaration of a three line whip.
Ask yourself: how often do you see an ALP member 'cross the floor' in Parliament?
The answer is 'seldom' - and when they do, they are usually disciplined.
In that case, it is hardly surprising that the alternative political grouping becomes as rigidly controlled - if they weren't, common sense tells you they would never win a parliamentary vote.
There are many circumstances where party discipline means that MPs are voting for a proposal against their better judgement.
The best way to ensure that legislation is appropriate is to ensure that there is a properly functioning parliament with members making decisions according to their conscience and not their party whip.
Matters may very well be assisted if the ALP abolished its rule.

End Game?
As we said previously:
The presence or absence of a national broadband network, an absence of a mining tax, temporary protection visas and the extension of unfair contract laws to small business are the only real areas of difference – most other things are differences in emphasis and timing.
(Although more on the NBN, anon.)
For all of that, both Abbott and Gillard are representatives of their respective strands of thought.
Gillard is very much, as Trevor Cook put it, one of Whitlam's grandchildren:
Throughout his political career, Whitlam pursued a philosophy of "positive equality", and he sought to change the national debate and the role of the national parliament. Positive equality is not about the old battles between capital and labour, it is about removing barriers to self‐improvement and overcoming disadvantage and deprivation through national approaches to policy areas like health, education and transport that emphasise universal access. For Whitlam, positive equality was also about community‐building and social cohesion. In many ways it is a middle‐class and gradualist reform agenda which envisages the use of government to ensure the benefits of economic prosperity are used to create better opportunities for individuals and communities.
Hence, however constitutionally iffy the proposals are in a post Pape world without a section 96 agreement with the States, Gillard was always at her strongest when she was 'educational Julia' promising improved teaching and schooling standards.
Conversely, Abbott is very much from the 'Christian democrat' (or Catholic Liberal) wing of the Liberals, with a focus on traditional social values and a respect for individual effort, whilst mindful for the need of social solidarity and more comfortable with a greater level of regulation of market forces than some of his colleagues – hence support for things like substantial tax rebates for education expenses and paid parental scheme paid for by big business whilst wanting to 'stop the boats' and remove 'big new taxes' (etc).
It was therefore unsurprising when Abbott said in his last address to the National Press Club for the election that he wanted to 'transform Australia from 'welfare state to opportunity society' by linking new workforce initiatives to his economic agenda:
My ambition is for us to make the journey from welfare state to opportunity society ... which preserves the comprehensive safety net but which eliminates the cancer of passive welfare.
(Why this wasn't said by him more often when the Liberal campaign was criticised for having nothing to say in the middle weeks of the campaign is beyond us.)
However, that said, despite different starting points the practical end point is that the policies of the two parties constitute a welfarism that differs only in emphasis as to the manner of implementing outcomes in broadly agreed areas.
This absence of shade and light led to state issues (particularly relating to government competence in NSW and Queensland) having disproportionate influence in the election.
The net result: a draw in the number of seats.
It may well be that the ALP will form government.
However, the large Greens vote could mean that they become Labor's 'new Country Party', pushing them leftwards and away from the 'Sussex Street' Labor model of representing the ALP as being solid, conservative managers of the economy, moving to the centre on traditionally weak areas such as law and order and encouraging development whilst evincing a general (but not overwhelming) concern for the environment.
This leftward push could be paradoxically assisted by having to deal with the 'Old Country Party' – the three independent country members holding (at time of writing) the balance of power, with views on issues such as transfer payments to 'worthy' recipients being surprisingly similar to city progressives.
It would be something if perhaps the only significant difference between the parties – the national broadband network – is the thing that will settle who will form government.
This Parliament could inadvertently mark the commencement of the political paradigm of the 21st Century, as the 'labour/capital' divide of the 20th century is replaced by one block representing a 'secular humanism' (typically found in voters in inner urban Australia), balanced by a block representing small 'n' nationalist and 'aspirational' values found more commonly in suburban and provincial Australia.
We live in interesting times.

Election 2010 - the half way point
Following the 'leaders debate' the major parties started the process of making, as they always do, targeted promises to win specific constituencies as the 'momentum' magically builds one way or another.
And so the ALP made promises in areas such as hospital staffing, suicide prevention, water harvesting from stormwater drains, a disability strategy….… and a rail link to Redcliffe (met and matched by the Opposition, to the surprise of the local candidate).
The Liberals made promises on slowing the growth of marine parks, a ring road for Cairns, an education card for disabled students and their version of hospital funding, with their largest promise being a promise to reduce company tax to the general level promised by the ALP…..a bit of a surprise given the Leader had previously said 'no one much is going to notice a 2 per cent cut in company tax'.
However, the Kevin Rudd issue – how he was dumped and what he would do in the future – as well as strategic leaks about what Julia Gillard may or may not have thought about pension increases and paid maternity leave dominated the second week, leading to a dysfunctional looking ALP and polls showing the Liberals either tied with or just ahead of Labor at the end of week 2.
And so week 3 began with the 'old' Julia Gillard becoming 'feisty Julia', taunting Abbott to debate her on economics as well as doing wild and risky things like riding on the campaign media bus (!) whilst Tony Abbott continued to campaign in the restrained manner of the front runner, concluding with a policy launch long on contrasts with Labor but short of policy specifics.
The reason why cosmetic issues like the 'old Julia' has changed into the 'new Julia' is so newsworthy is because there are few massive differences between the parties.
The presence or absence of a national broadband network, an absence of a mining tax, temporary protection visas and the extension of unfair contract laws to small business are the only real areas of difference – most other things are differences in emphasis and timing.
This should be expected because of the way Australian politics is structured.
There are two main reasons for this.
Compulsory voting means that so called 'rusted on' voters can be overlooked.
This leads to a practical exercise of what is called Hotelling's Law, which presumes that the optimal place for a business (or political party) to focus its attention is the perceived half way point of its target market.
Thus in this context everything is aimed at the 'swinging voter' in the middle of the political spectrum.
Moreover, it is our experience that many (if not the majority) of people involved in parliamentary politics could just as easily work for the other side.
This is because those who choose to participate in politics are generally middle class tertiary educated people who are vaguely socially progressive, and whilst not anti-market nevertheless possess a belief in an activist government that can intervene to improve the lot of society, usually through the continued creation of entitlements to 'worthy' recipients falling within targeted eligibility grounds.
It is also the case that they are overwhelmingly young and with little experience in small business (in particular) or in broader community life.
The result is that parliamentary government is in the hands of a narrow political class with an equally narrow world view.
Little wonder that this election is one of the most soulless ever conducted.
For all of that, we are now in the second half of the campaign. The 'new Julia' appears to have steadied the ALP ship and is segueing towards her preferred battleground of eduction.
Conversely, the coalition campaign appears to have remained still for the better part of week 3, as Labor went through their woes.
However, they may have played it too safe.
Despite all the tremors within Labor, attacks on Abbott's economic credentials and readiness for government and an absence of strong coalition positives may have had an effect - the ALP is now marginally in front.
Gillard's incessant requests for a debate on economics may also have had some effect, as both she and Abbott are to front the same public meeting at the delightfully named Rooty Hill, in Western Sydney.
This will undoubtedly be the starting platform for the last stanza of election 2010.
03 August 2010
Election 2010 - Small Business Policies
One area of the 2010 election campaign that hasn't been particularly discussed thus far has been election policies specifically addressing small business to be implemented over the next parliament.
This is a brief review.
The ALP
The ALP is generally standing on what it has done for small business in the life of this parliament – things such as a superannuation clearance house within the ATO, the creation of a small business advisory committee and a handbook to assist independent contractors.
Prospectively, the ALP proposes giving small business the ability to instantly write off assets costing up to $5,000 and cut the corporate tax rate from 30 per cent to 29 per cent as from 1 July 2012 - one year earlier than larger companies.
However, this would appear to be subject to the passage of what is now called the Mineral Resource Rent Tax applicable to iron ore and coal projects.
Moreover, another part of the suite of measures to be funded by the MMRT is an increase in the superannuation guarantee from 9% to 12%.
The supporting documentation indicates the increase in superannuation will 'affect… wage negotiations between employers and employees', an observation implicitly recognising that employers are ultimately responsible for funding superannuation.
If it comes to pass, it will be interesting to see how much of the reduction in the tax rate will be retained in the business if during these negotiations the reduction is identified as a source supporting an increase in overall employee remuneration (including the rise in superannuation).
However, reductions in company tax rates will be of little interest if a business is caught up by a possible change to personal services income laws.
Personal services income
On 19 December 2009 the Assistant Treasurer (Senator Sherry) received a Board of Taxation review on the area.
Releasing the report, he said the Board had found:
'a low level of compliance and a degree of uncertainty or 'greyness'
around the rules, such that it has found the alienation of personal services income rules in their current form do not provide acceptable levels of integrity and equity…. This means that ordinary workers may be missing out on proper pay, proper super entitlements and a range of other employment conditions such as long-service and other leave entitlements.
It concluded:
The use of sham contractors is a threat to the integrity of the taxation system and a threat to working conditions of employees – and the Rudd Government is determined to see an end to its inappropriate use.
The Government decided it would wait for the final report of the Henry Review into taxation before deciding what to do.
Recommendation 10 of the Henry Review was:
Consideration should be given to a revised regime to prevent the alienation of personal services income that would extend to all entities earning a significant proportion of their business income from the personal services of their owner-managers, whether in employee-like or non-employee-like cases. This regime may also apply an arm's length rule to deductions arising from payments to associates to ensure deductions reflect the value of services provided.
This would appear to require businesses to distinguish between income earned from capital as opposed to labour, adversely affecting all 'knowledge professionals' from consultants to barristers, and from accountants to computer consultants.
It would certainly appear capture most home based micro businesses – which many in the bureaucracy have never accepted as ever being 'real' businesses.
In our experience its view is if you can't see stock or staff you are not in business but either (depending on your taste) a 'true' employee in an arrangement to rort the tax system or a simpleton ripe for exploitation.
The Coalition has said that it will not change the current personal service income laws as 'no case has been made or evidence provided to justify changes to force independent contractors and self employed people into more 'employee-like' arrangements'.
This appears to be a solid commitment. However they are also considering how they are going to respond to the Henry Review.
It would therefore remove all doubt if the Coalition would expressly confirm that Recommendation 10 will not be considered as part of the response to Henry Review.
Otherwise be interesting to see if it will get new life once the Treasury starts providing them with advice, should they win.
Gotta protect the integrity of the tax base y'know. And so forth.
It will be interesting if the ALP will make any commitments about its treatment of PSI during the election.
The Coalition
The Coalition have countered Labor's proposed company tax cut with a 1.5 per cent cut in the company tax rate from company tax from 30% to 28.5% on July 1 2013.
It is to be hoped that this commitment can be afforded, and is not a cynical 'meet and beat' commitment to retain the mantle of being 'the party of small business' during the election campaign, to be discarded in the name of fiscal responsibility once in government.
The Coalition has made a number of other commitments.
Proposed coalition changes to government structure
There will be a cabinet level 'small business' minister. This is symbolically important although the more valuable component of this promise is the requirement for cabinet submissions to address how proposals impact small business.
The mere fact of having to write something requires those having to prepare 'cab subs' to at least think about the issue.
A proposed 'small business' representative on the Taxation Board of Review is also symbolically important, although it will be interesting to see how the impact of having this proxy representation can be measured in practice.
Government agencies will have to use procedures and practices to 'that do not disadvantage small business participation and instead, actively encourage it.'
Governments of all persuasions promise this.
However, in many circumstances public servants involved in letting tenders have neither the information to make informed decisions in favour of selecting smaller businesses nor the time to gather it. And you can never be blamed for anything if you've 'bought IBM'.
Public sector procurement and prudential rules, which are costly to comply with in their own way for both contract manager and service provider are also unlikely to be loosened.
So it will be interesting to see what will be different this time.
Businesses will also be able to charge interest if payments for any service provided are late - although whether the costs involved (particularly in time) in chasing up the interest amounts that can be charged may make this right somewhat problematic.
A Small Business and Family Enterprise Ombudsman is to be created to 'provide an advocacy, dispute resolution and support role for the sector' across the government.
Given that every small business in Australia could contingently be a 'client' of this proposed agency, the indicator of how committed the Opposition is to this initiative will be how well the Office will be funded.
It is noted that whilst the Victorian Small Business Commissioner is reasonably well funded, equivalent offices in the ACT and SA were early sacrifices to budget savings.
It will also publish with a series of 'better practice guidelines' to explain and encourage' fair commercial conduct'.
'Guidelines' to become a 'better corporate citizen' are all well and good, but mere publication aren't much practical help to a shopkeeper having a dispute with a supplier or landlord if they have little actual effect, particularly if the proposed Ombudsman is ill-equipped to provide much more than moral support.
It may be better if these proposed guidelines had some legal effect.
The proposed Australian Consumer Law to commence operation on 1 January 2011 will permit small businesses can take action where there has been 'unconscionable conduct' in trade or commerce.
The relevant provision sets out things to take into account when considering whether unconscionable conduct has taken place.
It would be better if any proposed guidelines must be taken into account when considering whether unconscionable conduct has been displayed.
This would increase the impact of any guidelines that might be issued.
Changes to trade practices law
The Coalition has promised it will to extend the unfair contracts protections available to consumers to small business.
This will mean that small business will be able to avoid 'unfair' standard form contracts in the same way ordinary consumers can under the proposed Australian Consumer Law to commence operation on 1 January 2011 – something the current government removed from legislation immediately prior to its introduction into Parliament.
Finally, the Coalition promises another review of the Trade Practices Act – soon to be called the Competition and Consumer Act - which is to be focussed on 'giving small business a fair go'.
As The Australian noted on 21 July 2010 there have been 59 different reviews of the old Trade Practices Act in the past decade.
It is difficult to see what will be achieved here that wasn't achieved by the Trade Practices Act review that gave rise to what was known as the Dawson Report which had terms of reference that included examining whether there was 'an appropriate balance of power between competing businesses, and in particular businesses competing with or dealing with businesses that have larger market concentration or power'.
This is particularly the case, given that shadow Treasurer said of the review in his budget reply to the National Press Club:
There may not be a need to dramatically change our competition policy and regulatory frameworks, but there is a need to consider what changes could be made so that market efficiencies and productivity enhancements are maximised.
The Australian reports that Bruce Bilson, the relevant Shadow Minister, is 'keen for it to go along the lines of a Productivity Commission review'.
If the matter goes to the Productivity Commission, there is unlikely to be any real change to the current legislation.
This is because it has consistently confirmed the importance of ensuring that allocative efficiency is maintained – any changes that it considers may affect innovation or market dynamism such as for instance, changing the test that allows a harsh contract to be reviewed from 'unconscionable conduct' to 'unfair conduct' (as is the test in the Independent Contractors Act) may not win favour.
The Coalition has always had to square the competing interests within its electoral coalition of the Big End of Town, with its eyes on ensuring they maintain the scale to compete internationally with the Small End of Town, which perceives the need for some protection against larger corporations because of inequality of bargaining power – hence the somewhat tortuous drafting of current trade practices law.
The Coalition therefore really needs to indicate whether they are being 'fair dinkum' in giving small business a 'fair go' in this context.

Mount Munday, North Face. After a week climbing Waddington and satellite peaks with the Everett Mountaineers, Bob Kandiko and I felt the provocative 2300-foot north face of Mount Munday should wait no longer. On August 4, after a bivouac in Bravo Cirque, we threaded about the face's crevassed apron as the stars faded and the Claw Peaks were silhouetted against the orange horizon. Two pitches crossing schrunds in dim light were the only difficult climbing. We fourth-classed the 50° to 55° soft ice in troughs and cork névé on flutings to the ridge crest four hours after crossing the schrunds.

FAQs: Applications, Eligibility and Financing
When can I apply for funding?
You can apply year-round for brownfield capital projects, as well as for all plans, studies and pilot projects. Capital projects for waste, water, energy and transportation are subject to deadlines. Learn more.
How can I find out whether my initiative is eligible?
The easiest and fastest way to determine whether you and your initiative are eligible for funding is to contact an FCM advisor. Applicants with capital projects in the energy, transportation, waste and water sectors must complete an initial review form. GMF staff will assess your project's eligibility prior to providing a complete funding application form. Brownfield capital projects are exempt from the initial review process.
Who is eligible for GMF funding?
Can we start our initiative before our funding application is approved?
Yes, but any costs you incur will only be eligible for GMF reimbursement as of the date we receive your complete application if your initiative is approved for funding.
What costs are eligible and when do they become eligible?
If your application is approved, costs become eligible as of the date that we receive your complete application. Costs incurred to hire a consultant to prepare the application form are also eligible up to 90 days before the date we receive your application. Eligible costs are partially reimbursed.
Please see our eligible and ineligible costs for plans, feasibility studies, pilot projects and capital projects. Contact us for more details about our eligible cost dates and reimbursement procedures.
Are GMF funds considered federal funds? Can they be combined with federal contributions?
GMF funds are not considered federal funds, they are considered municipal funds. They can therefore be combined with federal funding in a jointly funded municipal project. However, when grants or contributions are committed by a Government of Canada program for engineering studies, audit studies or feasibility studies, these costs are not eligible for GMF funding.

A Lewiston man filed a complaint with the Maine Human Rights Commission, claiming an apartment owner and his son discriminated against him based on his religion.
Bruce Brown, who is Jewish, said that Ronald Boucher, who owns a home in Saco and his son, Joshua, 26, who lived on the first floor of the home, discriminated against him while he lived in an apartment on the second floor from June 2009 to April 2011. Brown said the younger Boucher harassed him and the elder Boucher was liable for his son's harassment.
The father and son denied the accusation.
An investigator for the commission found reasonable grounds to believe that the son, Joshua Boucher, had discriminated against Brown based on his religion, but found no reasonable grounds that the father had done the same.
Brown and Joshua Boucher should try to resolve their case; Brown should drop his case against Ronald Boucher, investigator Barbara Lelli recommended in her written report last month.
Brown said Joshua Boucher learned about a month after Brown moved in that he was Jewish. He observed him reading about Judaism and a newspaper printed in Hebrew. Boucher said he never talked to Brown about religion and didn't know he was Jewish.
Brown said the two men had been friendly until Brown was helping to move heating system equipment into the basement. He said Boucher cursed at him. Boucher said Brown pushed him, angering him. He said he knew earlier they wouldn't get along.
Brown said Boucher's attitude toward him turned "cold and frightening" toward him after "menacing" tenants moved in over the garage.
Brown complained that Boucher engaged in illegal drug use and called police seven times over a two-month period in early 2011. Boucher admitted smoking marijuana, but said he was never charged with drug use. He said Brown also smoked marijuana, a charge Brown denied.
Boucher said Brown's calls to police were harassing and prompted drug agents to search his home. He became so stressed by the accusations that he began staying at his father's home, he said.
Brown said Boucher would set off the smoke detectors at night in an effort to drive him out of the building. Ronald Boucher said Brown would disable the smoke detectors repeatedly. Also around that time, Brown said that Joshua Boucher started partying and making "excessive noise," accusations Boucher denied. Another second-floor tenant corroborated Brown's accusations of odors emanating from Boucher's apartment as well as evidence of partying and loud noises.
Brown also accused Boucher of interrupting his heat and hot water supplies roughly 20 times in late 2010 and early 2011. He called Ronald Boucher to complain. Joshua Boucher denied he turned off the utilities. His father said the heating oil, which also heats the domestic hot water, ran out in February 2011. Brown said his cable TV service, which had been free, was discontinued after February.
One night, Brown awoke after having been injured in his apartment. He couldn't remember what happened.
On April 1, Brown found a swastika drawn in permanent magic marker on the window of his car. Boucher and the tenants who lived over the garage stood nearby snickering, Brown said. Brown called the police and said he believed Boucher had drawn the symbol in response to Brown's calls to police accusing Boucher of illegal drug use. Boucher denied drawing the swastika.
Three days later, Brown said he found a swastika spray-painted on one of the hubcaps on his car. Boucher said the tenants who lived above the garage had talked about putting a swastika on Brown's car. Boucher had told them not to do it because he would be blamed. He said he saw them do it, but he couldn't say which one did the spraying.
One of the garage tenants said neither of them was responsible for the swastikas, even though her co-tenant had had one taped to the center console of his car. She said Boucher talked negatively about Brown and called him names, but never anything anti-Semitic.
One of the tenants in the house and the investigator both reported that Boucher is mentally ill.
Brown said he overheard Boucher talking on his cellphone to his girlfriend, admitting to actions Brown had attributed to Boucher, including the swastikas, making noise and turning off heat and hot water.
Boucher denied saying those things and denied having a girlfriend.
Brown shared with the investigator notes, including an interview by Brown's attorney's office with Joshua Boucher's cousin who lived with Boucher in the home during part of the time of Brown's rental. The cousin said Boucher and his father have "issues regarding race and religion." Joshua Boucher does and says things sometimes without thinking of the consequences and does and says things that are racist and anti-Semitic. The cousin said Boucher would set off the smoke detectors to "drive the Jew out" and Ronald Boucher said he wouldn't have rented to Brown if he'd known Brown was Jewish.
The cousin didn't talk to the investigator.
The Maine Human Rights Commission Board is scheduled to meet on March 5 to vote on the investigator's recommendation.
If the board supports the investigator's recommendation, an out-of-court agreement is encouraged. If the two sides are unable to agree, the board would look to the legal department to recommend whether to take legal action before taking a final vote.

Building Owners Seeking Savings Power EIWCorp's International Expansion
iStart Jax supports technology company's growth
Energy Intelligence Worldwide, Corp. is installing its Energy Consumption Optimizer (ECO) software-as-a-service in a large indoor shopping center and hotel in the heart of Singapore.
This installation is scheduled to be followed by ECO installations in high-rise office buildings and other hotels owned by the same international building developer and operator.
Owners of large properties with building control systems can cut operating costs by more than 20 percent by using ECO. The software uses artificial intelligence to dynamically optimize HVAC systems, autonomously, in real time, thereby reducing energy consumption and costs.
"Our expansion into Singapore and adding an office in Asia came as a result of adding WEnergy Global to our global Affiliate/Agent network. They are a global provider of renewable energy systems solutions. Market research indicated that there are more than 4,300 high-rise buildings concentrated in an area of less than one-fourth the size of Jacksonville," EIWCorp CEO Herrald Jonkers said.
WEnergy Global agents, Jonkers, and EIWCorp Engineering Solutions Inventor Thamir Massraf presented the ECO software for large HVAC systems at the 2013 International Green Building Conference in Singapore in September. The conference drew more than 40,000 attendees and EIWCorp representatives discussed ECO with a variety of potential clients from both the private and public sectors throughout Southeast Asia.
EIWCorp also has added sales offices in Dallas, San Francisco, and Flintshire, Wales in the United Kingdom within two years of launching. Jonkers credits the company's growth in part to the assistance it has received through iStart Jax and other entrepreneurial support groups.
As one of the top 10 technology startups, EIWCorp was recognized by iStart Jax during the 2012 Global Entrepreneurship Week.
"iStart Jax is committed to the success of technology-based startups in the region, and we are pleased with EIWCorp's growth," iStart Jax CEO Yash Nath said. "Its success emanates from its innovative technology solutions and its leaders' eagerness to learn from others how best to bring those services to market."
EIWCorp plans to add an office in South America next, since it has contracted with EcoFuze and Infinite ECO Solutions to identify marketing opportunities in Central and South America. "Utility providers cannot keep up with increased electricity demands there," Jonkers said.
The company also plans to expand its Jacksonville headquarters, adding as many as 45 jobs — tripling its current workforce — within the next three years.
"Building owners' strong interest in our powerful HVAC efficiency solution is fueling EIWCorp's rapid growth," Jonkers said.
"We are thrilled to hear about EIWCorp's growth in the recent past. This is a testimonial to startups creating jobs. Congratulations to EIWCorp and we are glad to be associated through the journey" said MJ Charmani, Chairman and Founder of iStart Jax.

I'm still friends with my ex on Facebook. However, I've noticed whenever I come online to chat to my friends or reply to messages, he comes online but then disappears in 1 minute then comes back again, it's like an endless pattern and then goes offline. I don't understand it, I've never contacted him on Facebook ever and we are not talking, it's very strange. I'm not sure if it's paranoia or something else.

That should not bother you, unless you still want him.

Two weeks ago i met with a small production company and two weeks later after some prayer and discussion, i have a job. I work at a small production company with 4 other employees. It is a commercial company but they love Jesus and it is evident in their work and attitudes. Already I have gone on one audio recording trip. And tracked an interview for Impact 360 that I will produce for a podcast for them to release.
The company is very generous to us. One of my concerns about getting a job right now was transportation and they have given me the company equipment vehicle to drive to work. They also gave me a laptop to edit on. They use a PC based editing software. I'm looking forward to learning it.
So for now we are adapting to this new life of both working and still living on our strange schedules. And thankful to God for all he has provided for us right now.

Ranking right up there among the oddities in the world of plants are those that consume living beings to supplement their diets. Most of us are familiar with the ubiquitous Venus fly trap that snaps shut when triggered by an unsuspecting insect. But some of these plants have more in their bag of tricks than we suspected.

|I'm amazed and don't see how they know that they glow to the insects. You would think they would evolve to avoid these things. I wonder what a lightning bug would see if they landed on one.

|Rats . Bev how big, can they eat a tom cat sized rat if so let me know their names please . Rats, mice, mosquitoes, flies, etc. you name them we have them. By the way, our normal cats are afraid of our rats and if you don't believe me pay a visit to any dirty looking merchant ship. Bound to find some.

|The ultra violet thing isn't that terribly uncommon on flowers, but I would think leaves are another "animal". Did the literature say anything about testing for pitcher plant flowers and/or different species? Love to see the the original work if you have a link.
My initial wondering with the pitcher plant is: why doesn't the UV color extend inside the pitcher?
But with further thought, it's more likely that once the an insect is attracted to the lip, scent might take over as the primary lure.

Carlos Tevez becomes the highest paid player in world football with £615K per week deal move to China
Former Manchester United and Juventus striker Carlos Tevez has completed his lucrative deal move to Chinese League Shanghai Shenhua which will see him earn a whooping
£615,000 per week.
The 32-year-old Argentine became the highest paid player in world football when he swapped his boyhood club Boca Juniors for the Chinese Super League on Saturday 21 January 2017. This deal see him surpass the money being paid World Best player Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi (with £365,000 per week respectively)
Now he is 32 and this might be his last chance to earn such a huge sum of pay.

Setting aside the notion of massive corruption in the government, the public is still counting on efficiency in the delivery of services in the government at all levels. And when we talk of efficiency we can not help but measure the performance of public offices and public servants.. Akin to this process is making a systematic comparison between institutional inputs (manpower, time and resources) against outputs (achievement of organization goals and objectives through service delivery). Modern day administration calls this management audit. Unfortunately when measuring efficiency you do not only determine performance of individual skills but level of maturity in public service.
When we speak of maturity in public service we are looking at self-directed employees/officials in the agency who are capable of thinking, judging, and making appropriate decisions in performing specific tasks and responsibilities leading towards the satisfaction of organizational goals and objectives. Of great importance to this is the unlocking of public-service values.
In a system where there is a scarcity of resources, public managers are squeezed between budgetary constraints and the clamor for efficiency on one hand, and demands to produce improved social outcomes from generations of stakeholders now conditioned to expect superior customer service in virtually every other aspect of their daily lives on the other. The key to the success of any organization or program is a clear and understandable method of defining, measuring, and improving performance.
At the core in the measurement of a satisfactory organizational performance is the organization's mission.In effect, such an analytical framework can help public-sector managers answer two fundamental questions: reason for the existence of organizational program, and the parameters in the achievement of objective. Public satisfaction resides on this. Unfortunately the value of public-service can be also be complicated by cultural values, social policy, and political goals.
Public services are intended to improve social outcomes which does not only benefit the people but the government as well. In public health for example, public-service value means improving the health of the overall population: preventing illness, treating individuals' diseases and caring for the chronically or terminally ill—all at the same time. Managing health programs that insure public health deals not only with the institutions of health but as well as the health personnel. Organizational maturity operates in the system of transparency, cooperation, commitment, and efficiency of performance. A healthy public health organization should be devoid of corruption, politics, and ineffiency.

District 70 provides official email accounts for the District Management Team, District Officers, and Staff Officers (called District Officers below).
All District Officers are encouraged to use their official district email addresses when sending email.
The Postmaster is responsible for managing the district email system which includes approximately 100 email accounts and 260 email forwards, and we thank Cheryl Keane DTM, the current Postmaster, for her ongoing work over the years.
Unfortunately spam and unsolicited emails are a fact of having an email account. Whilst D70 has an active spam filter some spam may get through. There's a lot of guidance online on what to do with these emails, including Stay Smart Online from the Federal Government.
We've unfortunately had to set the D70 Spam Filter sensitivity quite high which means sometimes a legitimate email may be considered spam and deleted. Should you believe this is happening please contact the Postmaster who will see about adjusting the filter.
Before you start. Your official email account has already been created and the Postmaster will provide you with your official district email address and account password.
There are two ways you can access your email:
Option 1 (Webmail) which uses a Web Browser Application (e.g.: Internet Explorer, Safari, Chrome, etc.) on your device(s) to access your online email account at https://webmail.au.syrahost.com/login/ Webmail is simple to use but requires internet access for your Web Browser to work, and it takes more of your effort over time to manage your email as you need to jump between the different email accounts.; and/or
Option 2 (Email Client) which uses a Mail Application (e.g.: Microsoft Outlook, Apple Mail, Eudora, etc.) on your device(s) to access your email account(s) and present your email to you in one spot. Email Client is harder to set up for each email account on each device you use, but when done it's easier to manage your email as your different email accounts are located in one spot, and when the device has internet access the Email Client synchronises your device with the online email server, but you still get to use the Email Client in between when the device doesn't have internet access.
Options 1 and 2 are not exclusive so you can use them at the same time.
The D70 email provider has further detail at what is an email client.
Instructions on how to access your official email account are provided below.
Option 1 (Webmail)
Step 1: Log on now to WebMail with the official email address and password you have been given.
Step 2: Once you have signed in you should see something like:
Step 3: Set your email signature by going to Settings > Identities > Edit, item as shown below:
The Toastmasters International Brand Manual recommended signature is (in Arial font):
John Jennings DTM
District Director, District 70
Toastmasters International
Where Leaders Are Made
Phone: (02) 1234 321 345
Step 4: Set up email folders:
As Webmail is ongoing and creating a corporate history, it is recommended you set up folders, especially for the current District Year.
Step 5: Send an email by clicking Compose as shown below:
Option 2 (Email Client)
Email Clients (i.e. the Mail application on your device) need to know:
- the settings for the Email Server (i.e. what's on the internet), and
- your account name and password.
Setting information for the Email Server is at 5. Quick Email Settings which translate to:
- Incoming and Outgoing Servers = mail.D70toastmasters.org.au
As you step through these instructions it's worth noting D70 has purchased the regular Email Hosting service (not Exchange).
Also, the (newer) IMAP protocol enables you to use Email Clients on multiple devices whilst POP3 is limited to a single device. IMAP is the recommended protocol as email server storage for D70 isn't an issue so the IMAP disadvantage doesn't apply.
At the end of your term, District Officers are required to:
- keep emails which would be of interest to their successor(s) under the principle "I wish I had seen that when I started the role", and
- delete emails which include personal, private and/or sensitive information relating to an individual, or group of individuals.
SYSTEM SUMMARY (For those who are interested)
As of 1 January 2018 the (new) District Email System has five basic constructs:
1. District Email Accounts. There are 95 email accounts with passwords that enable District Officers to send email from an official district email address, e.g.: firstname.lastname@example.com which belongs to the District Director (DD).
The Postmaster can reset this account password for you.
To send email from your official email address the District Officer needs to login (see above Accessing Your Official Email Account), generate a new email, then send it.
Emails and attachments can be kept in the district email accounts to provide a corporate history for new District Officers from one year to another.
2. Group Email Accounts. There are 5 group email accounts where emails sent to the group are automatically forwarded to all members of the group (where group membership is maintained by the Postmaster).
These group email accounts are rarely accessed by anyone, except by Senior District Officers.
3. Email Forwards. There are 270 email forwards maintained by the Postmaster where an email sent to an an official district email address, e.g.: email@example.com, is automatically forwarded to another address(es).
Each year at Changeover, the Postmaster sets up the new email forwards, so each new District Officer has their email automatically forwarded from their official district email address to their private email, based on details provided to District 70.
The Postmaster can add new email forwards for you, or remove old ones that are no longer needed.
4. Corporate History. The new District 70 Email System allows emails and attachments to be kept in email accounts and folders which enable a corporate history to be built over time.
This is of value to incumbent District Officers who can review what has happened previously in their roles.
5. Spam Filtering. Our Email Provider uses Apache SpamAssassin™.
If you have any technical difficulties you can contact our Email Provider's 24/7 Help.
For any unresolved issues with the email system please contact thhe Postmaster.

ADAMS of Campbell Co., VA 1700s-1800s
Has anyone researched ADAMS in Campbell Co.?
I have a Robert R. ADAMS b. Sept. 1819 in this area.
He later was found in Halifax Co., and married into TUCKER
family. His middle name from bible records, appears to be
Roden, although family has always pronounced it Raden.
I am interested also in these possible tie-ins for his middle name: ROWDEN, RODDEN, RUDD, RAIDEN, RIDON,
Is there a website or link anyone can suggest that might
give me help in trying to determine parentage of this Robert ADAMS?
Thank you,
Susann Whiddon Wandrey

I see that yo're touch person, since all three phones that you propose are. but then you also mention E72. well in my opinion if you can let go the touch.. might as well observe E52 rather than E72. the same screen size, if you auto rotate E52.
and if I have to have wide phone like E72 I want larger screen than that.
E52 is fast since it's equipped with 600mhz cpu compare to N97 434mhz only.
but if you still want the touch.. well the best available, but it isn't on your list is Samsung omnia HD i8910. this monster has everything and the touch is capacitive similar with iphone, but with much much better camera and video specs and it is unlocked.
I hope it'll help you to choose your dream phone.
its nt possible nokia dnt hav a double sim phone for now so u bought da fake bro
suresh kewalramani, 28 Jul 2009i had purchased nokia n 97 with awaitingly but i m not satisfied with its battry i used the N97 when i frist got it heavily (the screen was always on / WIFI / Music / Camera / BT / Web browsing ect...) u can imagine i couldnt put it on the table and leave it alone :P
and the battery was empty after 2 days... which is very good companred to using it continuesly for 48 hours :)

I'm sure everyone here would love to see it and who knows you might even win "Funniest home videos".
Clearly anyone that says nokia isnt the best phone in the world must b out of his mind, i have owned more then 20 nokias in the past 4 years, and i have never had a prob with them, they never stop working. The iphone.... no comment junk,i have never ever seen a phone get returned or exchanged so much, the apple stores r full of custemers waiting to exchange there iphone for a new one, because it fell and broke, droped in water. i have a hands on exp. jumping in a pool with a symbion nokia and it still worked fine, and i was in the pool for over 30 sec :D so at the end nokia beats any phone, just cuz some phone has a good design, u can make spreadsheets, or is easier for anything that dont mean anyhting, if i have to exchange a phone every 3-6 months because it crashes, and the battery is drained, then y would i want that phone. O and how long does a iphone battery last? at its best 1 days.... i think that pretty much says it allll HAHAHAAHAH
Anonymous, 01 Jan 1970Get the E75, it sounds like just the thing you are after.
I currently have (and am still using) the Nokia 5300, and I'm shopping for a possible replacement. I'm currently looking at these 3: Nokia N97, Nokia 5800 Xpress-Music, and the Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1 (my first cellphone was a "Ericsson GA 628" (this one: http://www.gsmarena.com/ericss..._628-105.php ), and I really have no problem going back to [Sony] Ericsson cellphones, if really it turns out that the best of the 3 I'm currently looking at, is the XPERIA X1.
Yes, I know, "there's a new model of XPERIA coming out", "the Nokia N97's got 32GB of memory", and "the Nokia 5800 Xpress-Music came out before the N97, so, supposedly -- at least in gsmarena.com -- SOME (not all) of the kinks of the Symbian OS for touch-screen cellphones, have been worked out".
But I'm really looking for a cellphone that's:
1. user-friendly,
2. easy-to-use,
3. has durable battery life (I'm not big on having Bluetooth on 24-7, or always browsing the Internet, or any of those battery-draining activities. I use them when I'm in the mood and/or "urgent need" to use them, but otherwise, I just leave them off. Period.),
4. you can easily organize and manage your contacts
(in the 2 Nokia cellphones I've had so far -- the 5300 Xpress-Music and the 'Nokia 8210', this one> http://www.gsmarena.com/nokia_8210-19.php -- I've always liked how I can very easily organize multiple phone-numbers, e-mail addresses, website addresses, street addresses, birthdays, nicknames, etc etc, and other things, into one contact, and all that information would just appear under ONE name, instead of HAVING EACH-PIECE of contact information appear "SEPARATELY" and/or like a "separate contact", like my Motorola V220 did; it made the darn address-book be WAY MORE CLUTTERED, and i DESPISED that!!)
5. Bluetooth, integrated camera, 3G, not 'complicated' to learn (and/or "too hard a learning-curve, that makes the cellphone just not be worth the hassle of learning how to use it" -- yes, I always read the manual on my cellphone though, by the way)
6. The Bluetooth capabilities DEFINITELY DO need to have the ability to transfer files from cellphone to cellphone (not just sending files, but also RECEIVING files), including (but not limited to): MP3 files (for ringtones, listening to music, etc), photos, video-clips, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera. (Ahh, the magic of having Bluetooth on my Nokia 5300, especially when before that my cell-phone was the Motorola V220).
7. durable. "good quality" construction. "solid"-feeling. (i don't harass and/or "brutalize" my cellphone -- I do try to take good care of my things -- but I don't like for my cellphone to feel as if it was a 1-milimeter-thick piece of glass that could break at the slightest touch).
Any recommendations on which of these 3 cellphones to get? ie. Nokia 5800 Xpress-Music, Nokia N97, Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1?
(overall, in general, which is the best option??
and, then again: which is the best option, for ME???)
I also forgot to mention: Quad-Band [GSM] is a COMPLETE, DEFINITE, AND UNQUESTIONABLE MUST!!<br>
by the way, I'm going to be using the new cellphone (whichever I am recommended to get) on AT&T [in the States], "prepay" as opposed to "contract". And, I'm going to make sure that I buy the darn cellphone UNLOCKED (like maybe from Amazon.com or some other place where I can find the cellphone chosen, unlocked).
Good call-quality, good cellphone-reception, I can hear the person on the other line well, the person on the other line can hear ME well (and also, "loud and clear", obviously).
Another thing I noticed: Look at Episode 12 (ie. "Knight To King's Pawn") of the new "Knight Rider [2008]" tv-show. Sarah Graiman, in the beginning of the episode, when she hangs up on Michael Knight's phone-call, she's using an XPERIA!!! (this IS NOT affecting my decision to buy one though, by the way)

3D-Printable Guns Targeted after Sandy Hook• http://www.technewsdaily.com, Jeremy Hsu
MakerBot had previously allowed users of its Thingiverse website to share and download files for gun parts, according to BBC News. But a MakerBot attorney confirmed that the Sandy Hook shooting had forced the 3D printing company to change its mind — the company's terms of service already included a provision banning the "creation of weapons" among other "illegal" or "objectionable" materials.
That represents a fresh blow for gun enthusiasts who had hoped to build a fully 3D-printed gun through their "Wiki Weapon" project. The enthusiasts, organized under the name Defense Distributed, had applied for a federal manufacturing license so that they could begin testing 3D-printed guns by year's end.
