If your looking to sell I'm looking to buy.
If your looking to sell I'm looking to buy.
This is impossible to find , why is that?
They are very rarely in stock now (at BWJ) even though they used to be freely available. They're also renowned for being a class-leading Sakai laser, and a relative bargain.
I'm guessing those that have them like them too much to let them go!
Check out Ginga.
The difference between try and triumph is a little "umph"! NO EXCUSES!!!!!!!
i have one that id like to sell, but im in germany. blonde ferrule magnolia handle.
I remember when they were readily available at BWJ. At that time I didn't know enough to get one. I recently contacted Keichi and got on the waiting list. He said they are hard to get and couldn't give me an ETA.
I am looking for one myself, but will start my own thread.
I have the carbon , but I really wanted stainless
there is a stainless Kono on BST very similar to your what you are looking for FYI
thanks chef but I have the kono
Update from Friday:
Hi Dennis,
Hope everything going well with you.
You are right. Too high demands have been making my orders a big delay. There are only 2 craftsmen who can work for major process.
I will notify you first when I get any update.
Thank you for your patience.
---- Dennis:
> Keiichi, hey there. Haven't heard from you in a while hope all is well with you. I was hoping to get an update on the 270 Special Thick Yusuke SS Gyuto. I see that you don't have many posted on ebay so I'm thinking demand is high and supply is low. Any updates or news for me? Thanks dennis
One thing you can give and still keep...is your word.

Ryan Giggs sees shades of Cristiano Ronaldo in the way that Wayne Rooney has emerged as the heartbeat of Manchester United's attack, reports the Daily Mail.
The Welsh veteran believes that Rooney's unselfish attitude and willingness to create goals for his team-mates has hallmarks of the overwhelming influence that Ronaldo had on the first-team during his time at Old Trafford.
Sir Alex Ferguson recently criticised the England international striker for his lack of goals compared to summer signing Robin van Persie, but two goals in last weekend's 3-2 derby victory over Manchester City took Rooney's total to four in his last two Premier League games.
"Wayne is the kind of player who can score goals, but if someone is scoring more he's not too bothered," explained Giggs. "He's quite happy setting goals up and pitching in with important goals like he did on Sunday.
"It's like when Cristiano was here, he scored a lot of goals. It's similar with Wayne, he's not just an out and out goalscorer. He's more than that.
"He's the catalyst to everything good that we do. He can score goals, make goals. It's a massive plus for him to get the goals at City."
And, while Rooney continues to impress Giggs, the 39-year-old is only too aware of the impact that £24million man Van Persie has made since arriving from Arsenal in August, adding that the Dutchman could make all the difference in Manchester United's bid to reclaim the title.
"He's one that we are glad to have," he added. "He's not surprised me because I knew that, at 29, he was a ready-made, experienced world-class player.
"He just has that bit of class that can make a difference – like it did on Sunday and in other games. You see it in training, you see it in games, he's just a brilliant player."

Ninth-century Buddha statues stolen in Adelaide Hills break-in
Two ninth-century statues of Buddha, worth up to $1 million each, have been stolen from a house in the Adelaide Hills.
The statues, which were found during excavations in Borneo, were discovered missing after police went to a property at Ashton on Wednesday when an alarm activated.
No-one was home when officers arrived and the front door had been forced open.
The standing Buddha statues are on polished wood bases.
Police are investigating a sighting of a white Ford Falcon parked on a dirt track near the house days earlier.
They said there was a man in the car.

Conexant 810E Riptide audio card won't work (Solved)
Can anyone help me with getting my sound up and running? my hardware probe gives:
AUDIO i810_audio: Conexant Systems 810E Riptide PCI Audio Controller (127a:4320) detected.
While doing the following gives:
# modprobe i810_audio
/lib/modules/2.4.29/sound/oss/i810_audio.o.gz: init_module: No such device
Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters.
You may find more information in syslog or the output from dmesg
/lib/modules/2.4.29/sound/oss/i810_audio.o.gz: insmod /lib/modules/2.4.29/sound/oss/i810_audio.o.gz failed
/lib/modules/2.4.29/sound/oss/i810_audio.o.gz: insmod i810_audio failed
any suggestions?

Post subject: Conexant Riptide audio
Firstly I have a Conexant Riptide card with pci info 127a:4320 and I have it working with another Linux distro that uses kernel 2.6.x. I have it working with a developer release of
, alsa-driver-1.0.10rc1, and I did need to make a simple modification to the source code (to get it to compile on an older 2.6 kernel). It may be possible to compile all of alsa-1.0.10rc1 on Puppy - alsa 1.0.8 has been made to work. See
. Alsa has OSS compatibility, so should work with programs in Puppy.
Puppy currently uses a 2.4.x kernel, and uses OSS sound drivers. There is an
OSS driver for the Riptide card
, written by Linuxant, but I haven't had any success with it [yet]. The OSS driver is tricky as it doesn't seem to be actively maintained.
So currently either driver will need to be compiled from source code - you'll need the usr_devx.sfs file and Puppy 1.0.5 to compile.

Post subject: OSS Linuxant Riptide modules for Puppy 1.0.5
I've compiled the Linuxant Riptide OSS driver for Puppy 1.0.5, attached is a .tar.gz that contains the binary modules.
To use, open a console/terminal, type:
cd dir-where-i-downloaded-the-tar-file
tar -xzf riptide-puppy1.0.5-kmods.tar.gz
cd riptide-puppy1.0.5-kmods
(Alternatively use the guitar archiver for the extract part). The install.sh script will copy the Riptide modules to /lib/modules/2.4.29/misc, update module dependencies and load the modules.
Also read the README & LICENSE files.
It works for me playing mp3s in Snack Amp.
I've included a textfile, riptide-buildnotes, that explains how I compiled the Linuxant source in Puppy 1.0.5.
This is the Linuxant Riptide OSS kernel module binaries compiled for Puppy 1.0.5, kernel 2.4.29.

Beauty! Works like a charm. Thank you very much...you have saved me quite a lot of time and frustration...I shall read through your buildnotes as I need to learn about compiling from source...and save my frustration (and hopefully resultant learning) for something less important...
Once again, thanks...

Alright...have found something else...when i reboot i seem to lose everything...modules missing, /lib/modules/2.4.29/misc missing, etc. I thus have to re-run your install script to get up and running again. Am I doing something wrong here? I am running off of the CD, with data, etc. stored on the Hard drive...Thanks.

First, which version of Puppy are you using? Is the data stored in a pup001 file in a Linux partition, or on a Windows NTFS or FAT32 partition?

Yes, I should have mentioned the script will need to be rerun if you don't have a full HD install of Puppy - I'm still learning the innards of the Puppy filesystem
. In the mean time, you can append the following to the "/etc/rc.d/rc.local" startup script to make the install.sh always run on boot:
# cd to the install.sh directory (assuming in /root):
cd /root/riptide-puppy1.0.5-kmods
cd -
I've worked out that I could put the modules in .usr/lib/modules/misc/ for persistent storage in the pup001 file, but I need to work out how to store the module information and automatically modprobe riptidesound. I'm also still looking at Alsa, as that is the better driver.
EDIT: rc.local is neater than rc.local0

Thanks again...Flash, I am running 1.0.5 Chub with the pup001 file stored on a Linux (ext3fs i think) partition. Ntrel...thanks...i will edit that file for now, that is easy enough. When i manage to find enough time, will install everything on the hard drive, as the machine is not very happy with the large linux version i used to replace windows...but puppy is beautiful...
but, get to play a bit and see if i can keep my current setup and still use the partition that the pup001 is on for my install... (the install to HD script seems to have enough suggestions to get me going...hopefully you won't be seeing me posting anything in the near future about that...heh) Anyways, I am still in awe at the functionality present in the Pup, for something so light...
My mother has been complaining about her machine (pentium II...probably <250MHz) and I think I will be introducing her to Linux through Puppy as well...OK, am getting rather off topic...will post elsewhere regarding success or not of my attempt to convert my mom...

Well, I could put the riptide audio oss driver module into Puppy 1.0.6,
and for this:
Conexant Systems 810E Riptide PCI Audio Controller (127a:4320)
get the module to load at bootup.
My question though, will the audio driver work alone?
I mean, that riptide thing is part of a modem chip isn't it?
so, does the hsf/hcf stuff have to be loaded also?

Hi Barry,
That'd be great!
The riptide modules work standalone - riptidesound.o, riptideint.o, riptidelow.o - they do not require any of the modem stuff.
I got kind of stumped on getting riptidesound to modprobe on boot, but I'd love to help further with anything you recommend

Grant to PATH Will Fund Research at SLU's Center for World Health and Medicine
$3.1 Million Sub-Grant Supports Search to Treat Deadly Childhood Diarrhea
Article ID: 619303
Released: 16-Jun-2014 10:00 AM EDT
Source Newsroom: Saint Louis University Medical Center
Available for logged-in reporters only
Newswise — ST. LOUIS – As part of a $15.6 million grant awarded to PATH by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Saint Louis University's Center for World Health and Medicine has received a $3.13 million, three-year sub-grant from PATH to explore new treatments for pediatric diarrhea, which kills about 600,000 young children around the world each year.
The Gates grant supports PATH's portfolio of projects that explore potential anti-secretory drug targets in the gastrointestinal tract and develop drug candidates to complement oral rehydration therapy.
The research builds upon promising findings that grew out of a collaboration that began in 2011 between the Center for World Health and Medicine and PATH's Drug Development program, established through an affiliation with OneWorld Health.
SLU's Center for World Health and Medicine and PATH's Drug Development program will study multiple drug compounds and targets at various stages of development with a goal of identifying at least two drugs that, after testing in animal models, are promising enough to be studied in clinical trials. The Center for World Health and Medicine will have eight scientists working on the grant to varying degrees — an experienced drug discovery team that includes biologists, chemists and pharmacologists.
"We're trying to repurpose drugs for childhood diarrhea that pharmaceutical companies had developed as therapy for hypertension that also target a similar pathway in the intestine. Researchers conducting clinical trials found these drugs are safe but didn't work to lower the blood pressure of study participants," said Marvin Meyers, Ph.D., director of medicinal chemistry for the Center for World Health and Medicine, and one of SLU's lead researchers on the project.
"For our purposes, that's good because we don't want to lower blood pressure. We want to stop the loss of fluids from acute secretory diarrhea, which strikes quickly and leads to a life-threatening loss of water and electrolytes in young children who live in developing countries. We also are looking at other drug candidates that have an entirely different target and developing other assays that improve our ability to identify other potential drugs."
Diarrhea is the second leading cause of death of young children worldwide. It is particularly lethal in developing countries where the lack of clean drinking water, malnutrition, inadequate sanitation, misunderstanding about the illness, and poor access to modern medical care at hospitals take their toll on children under age 5.
The disease can be caused by bacteria such as Vibrio cholerae and enterotoxigenic E. coli, viruses such as rotavirus, and parasites such as Cryptosporidium. Children who survive frequently have recurrences, are susceptible to other infectious diseases and may have slowed physical and mental development.
"If a toddler in the United States develops severe diarrhea, he or she is hospitalized and receives 'rehydration therapy' or intravenous fluids to replenish the fluids that have been lost. Kids here typically recover quickly," Meyers said.
"In developing countries, children frequently don't have easy access to hospitals. They are given oral fluids at home, which are critical to their recovery but can cause diarrhea to get temporarily worse. Seeing their children continue to be sick, parents sometimes stop giving their children rehydrating fluids and they get sicker and sometimes die. In partnership with PATH, we are trying to find a treatment that stops the diarrhea by inhibiting secretions inside the intestines so children can receive the oral fluids they need to recover."
Researchers also are placing a priority on ensuring the medication is convenient and easy to administer.
"One of our goals is to come up with a drug compound that can be given once a day, a treatment option that is not currently available," Meyers said.
As a key component of the sub-grant, SLU and PATH will seek partnerships with pharmaceutical companies to obtain licensing rights, leverage expertise in drug discovery and research and build partnerships. The goal is to ensure the drug candidates will have the opportunity to be evaluated in the clinic, and if found effective, will eventually reach the children most in need.
About SLU's Center for World Health and Medicine:The Center for World Health and Medicine at Saint Louis University is dedicated to the discovery and development of safe, effective and affordable therapies for neglected diseases of poverty in the developing world as well as rare and orphan diseases and other unmet medical needs.

Week 1
I hope that teams who attended Week 1 events had a great experience. I was at the BAE Systems Granite State Regional, and had a chance to see some wonderful robots and really exciting matches. This week, barring bad weather, I'm planning to go to Duluth, MN for the Lake Superior & Northern Lights Regionals.
Unfortunately, not all was perfect last weekend. We found a bug in the C++ SmartDashboard implementation, and rolled out an update to fix the issue as soon as we could to the events that were affected. You can find more information in yesterday's Team Update (http://frc-manual.usfirst.org/Updates/0#term 96 ). Also, we recognize the frustration the automated scoring system is causing, and have some tweaks we'll be rolling out for Week 2 that should make things better.
What…No Hugs?

I've seen some of the chatter on Chief Delphi. The note in yesterday's update about team members lifting other team members, leading to yellow cards, was made in response to an issue from at least one event over the weekend. In this incident, team members were climbing onto each others' backs and shoulders to gain a better vantage point for throwing discs during the last 30 seconds of a match. The note was not intended to stop hugs or celebratory lifts – in fact, we love hugs! As long as they are safe, and, of course, everyone involved in the hug is a willing participant.
Note to self: Add CELEBRATORY LIFT to the glossary in the 2014 rules.
I'll blog again soon.

Foundling Museum
The museum tells the story of the Foundling Hospital, England's first hospital for abandoned children, founded by Thomas Coram in 1739. It houses a fine collection of paintings by artists including Gainsborough, Reynolds, Hogarth and Hudson. Also on display are eighteenth-century interiors preserved from the original hospital, a copy of Handel's 'Messiah' and a collection of Handel memorabilia collected by Gerald Coke. The composer was involved in fundraising for the hospital during his lifetime – in 1750 he donated the chapel organ and from that year onwards the 'Messiah' was performed under his direction on an annual basis for the Hospital's benefit. Family trails and children's activity backpacks are available at the reception desk.

Cueto is 8th, and Valaika makes the Not So Hot list.
Cueto is 8th, and Valaika makes the Not So Hot list.
I am rather surprised that Drew Stubbs is not on the list. The guy is on fire in July.
Yeah he is. I looked last night, and I believe he is hitting .405 in his last 10 games. Looks like he's finally catching on in a league he's a bit old for. I would like to see him bumped up and see if he can continue this recent success.
Drew is actually at the league average age of 22 years old.
I would leave Stubbs where he is right now, seems that the light bulb has finally turned on for him. Somebody must be doing something right as far as instruction goes. Let him soak up some positives.
If you have a losing record at Reds games, please stop going.
I apologize...was a bit lazy when i started the thread. Here ya go!
"If you're into those sorts of things...Some would say using others' posts as signatures is weird." - Sea Ray
What does draft position matter?
I hate to play Semantics Nanny, but it's time to nip this in the bud. :
Dougdirt is right: "Old for the level" and "young for the level" are scouting terms, understood to be a comparison of the player's age to the league average age. That's it. That's all.
If you want to say that a collegiate top-ten pick should have advanced farther by now, say that. Say his development is struggling. Say he's not on the star track. Fine. But don't try to redefine the term "old for the level."
Reading comprehension is not just an ability, it's a choice
I wonder if I'm old for the level of someone who should be posting on a fan website?
If I go up from here where is that?
If I go down from here where is that?
Rob Neyer: "Any writer who says he'd be a better manager than the worst manager is either 1) lying (i.e. 'using poetic license') or 2) patently delusional. Which isn't to say managers don't do stupid things that you or I wouldn't."
Games are won on run differential -- scoring more than your opponent. Runs are runs, scored or prevented they all count the same. Worry about scoring more and allowing fewer, not which positions contribute to which side of the equation or how "consistent" you are at your current level of performance.
Board Moderators may, at their discretion and judgment, delete and/or edit any messages that violate any of the following guidelines: 1. Explicit references to alleged illegal or unlawful acts. 2.

Direct personal attacks, flames, fights, trolling, baiting, name-calling, general nuisance, excessive player criticism or anything along those lines. 6. Posting spam. 7. Each person may have only one user account. It is fine to be critical here - that's what this board is for. But let's not beat a subject or a player to death, please.

Talk about an extreme makeover.
Talk about an extreme makeover.
Where most of us saw a fire-ravaged eyesore, a select few saw magnificent potential as they gazed up at the ruined remains of what was once the Poughkeepsie Railroad Bridge.
This band of believers devised a plan to transform the decaying hulk into a pedestrian bridge that would span more than a mile, in the spot where trains once hauled freight high over the Hudson river.
No stone would be left unturned in the search for donations and grant money. Naysayers chuckled. No one is laughing now — not when the Walkway Over the Hudson has become one of the region's top tourist attractions.
Folks from all over have discovered it. Marriage proposals are made there. Wedding photos are taken. Nonprofits raising money for all sorts of worthy causes have made the Walkway their go-to venue.
The oft-repeated line from the baseball movie "Field Of Dreams" rang true: "If you build it, they will come."
This year, the state Department of Parks, which manages and maintains the Walkway, predicts more than a half million people will stroll, run, roller skate or walk their dogs from Highland to Poughkeepsie (or vice versa) and back again. Construction of a 21-story elevator, due to open next fall, figures to push attendance numbers even higher.
But while visitors marvel at the gorgeous views, what area tourism promoters want to see are dollar signs.
Trouble is, many of those who've been spending time enjoying the breathtaking valley scenery aren't spending much of what's in their wallets. Too many people drive off without sampling what else we have to offer.
That could change if a new marketing effort is able to turn the Walkway into a bona fide moneymaker.
A consulting company recently rolled out a branding plan that would create a Greater Walkway Region complete with exploration zone signs and smartphone app, directing walkers to places where they can shop, eat and be otherwise entertained once their Walkway experience is over. An existing brochure and website would get spruced up.
Of course, none of that will happen overnight, not during these times of fiscal belt-tightening.
A tip of the hat should go to those who never wavered in their quest to convert the old rail bridge into a top-notch draw. This model of engineering ingenuity — the longest elevated pedestrian bridge in the world — will be three years old tomorrow. And in an area hungry for tourist dollars, the financial potential needs to be maximized.
It was a cute idea to have 2,600 people show up at the Walkway last June to do the hokey pokey, breaking the Guinness World Record for the longest line of dancers.
But it would have been nice if, before departing, the dancers turned themselves around, visited a local business or two, and spent a few bucks.
Because that's what it's really all about.

Turley Article
Market sweep: Left tackles gone in a flash
By Pat Kirwan
Special to NFL.com
(March 4, 2003) -- When teams are preparing for free agency back in December and January, they are all capable of ranking the potential free agents in some order of how they see the talent pool. Most teams can anticipate which players under contract will probably come free because of glaring contract issues, but not many can predict how fast the market will move and what the ceiling on price will be.
For example, the wide receiver market hasn't even heated up yet, although the Baltimore Ravens appear ready to go after Arizona Cardinals wideout David Boston and the New York Giants kept Ike Hilliard off the street with a new deal. We will see wide receiver deals coming in over the next few weeks, but the offensive left tackle market is all but done. It's only the first week of free agency and the price was set very high and the supply was depleted overnight.
Here's how most teams stacked the left tackle position on their free-agency board and here's what has happened to them in a matter of days. It's important to note that in the entire NFL, only eight players were given franchise tags and two of those were left tackles. Teams that don't protect this position will pay dearly to retain the services of their player.
1. Orlando Pace, STL: Franchise tag on Feb. 20 -- off the board
2. Walter Jones, SEA: Franchise tag on Feb. 20 -- off the board
3. Luke Petitgout, NYG: Signed a six-year, $30 million deal with a $10 million bonus the night before free agency started -- off the board. Petitgout made about $450,000 in 2002, but this new deal set the market for the rest of the left tackles.
4. Flozell Adams, DAL: Within hours of Petitgout's deal, Adams signed a five-year, $25 million deal with a $10 million signing bonus -- off the board. One GM said, "The Cowboys would have been better off putting a transition tag on Adams. It would have been cheaper to let the league teams set the market." Too late now.
5. Wayne Gandy, PIT/NO: Finally, a left tackle hits the open market. It took just three days for the Saints to land the 32-year-old Gandy, but they had competition. Because of the above four tackles, the average salary for a left tackle now averages $5 million a year. Wow! Gandy gets a six-year, $30 million deal. The signing bonus is 'only' $5 million, but he will see $15 million in the first three years. I promise Gandy was no higher than fifth on most boards, but the ripple effect of the first four fell all the way to him. This signing produces the only wild card at the position. Now New Orleans can put a 'For Sale' sign on Kyle Turley.
With the Saints landing Wayne Gandy, LT Kyle Turley's days with the team might be numbered.
6. Kyle Turley, NO: I spoke with five personnel people who all agreed Turley would have been third on their board if he were free from the beginning. He has the same agent as Petitgout, so anyone serious about trading for him has to expect to come up with a deal that will average just over $5 million a year and a signing bonus that is at least $10 million.
The next point is that Turley only has this year left on his contract and it's at $3.38 million. No team will trade with the Saints unless they get a long-term deal done first and that's only going to happen if they're prepared to pay the present market value.
Turley will not have much problem sliding over to right tackle in New Orleans for one season and hitting the open market next year when we must assume the price will be even higher than 2003. If a long-term blockbuster deal can be constructed, then you have to ask the question, what does New Orleans want in compensation?
The best scenario I heard was a team in the lower third of the first round or a very high second-round team will probably have to give up that pick and get back the Saints' third-round pick, along with Turley.
Think it sounds impossible? I didn't think the left tackle market would be closed down in less than a week of free agency and that the top five players would average $5 million a year, but that's where we are today. By the way, I hear three teams are really exploring the idea of going after Turley anyway. Welcome to free agency 2003.
As soon as the Turley issues are resolved, all eyes will turn to what little talent is left. If anyone watched what Roman Oben did for the Bucs last season, especially down the stretch, then he's the next logical stop. Right behind him will be Richmond Webb, and after that, the draft. Oben won't demand what the top tackles got, but his asking price and value went way up after these deals got done. No one could be happier than Oben or Webb with the way things have gone so far, except of course Turley.
When Seattle and St. Louis get around to signing Jones and Pace to long-term deals, I can't even begin to wonder what kind of money they expect to make now. The best news in all this is that offensive linemen are grouped all together to establish the franchise and transition salaries. Guards and centers stand to make a significant pay raise from the business dealings of the left tackles.
Turley Article
turley wants to go on the west coast like the chargers but what do they have in trade....not rodney harrison cause he is a free agent and he wants to come to new orleans and the 49\'ers really dont have anything either...so i would take that trade with the radiers for charles woodson.....and what are the saints waiting for to sign john carney????
Turley Article
Why a Turley/Tebucky Jones trade would make sense (I know it\'s pure speculation and Jones is not up for a trade, just want to explain why I gave the green light to that in the other thread):
1. >> The best scenario I heard was a team in the lower third of the first round or a very high second-round team will probably have to give up that pick and get back the Saints\' third-round pick, along with Turley.
We may not like it, but that\'s how he is valued. Left tackles are all off the market and we should get more for him .... yada yada yada. I based my opinion on that assumption. If we get the No. 3 pick I\'m all for it, I just don\'t see it. So let\'s assume a pick in the lower third of the first round is the best we can get.
2. Along come the Patriots and offer pick #19. Saints take it and don\'t even have to give up their third round pick. A better deal than expected.
3. Along come the Patriots again and want their pick back in exchange for Jones. Is Jones worth a #19 pick? Hell yeah. A great deal for the Saints.
Are the Raiders even looking for a LT? I only heard they may want to get a different Center in.
Another question: Would it be so bad if Turley played out the last year of his contract? Giving him away for what is rumoured is selling him cheap, why not keep him to play RT? I don\'t like his attitude towards this club a lot, but he still wants to win and he knows that - if he stays here - the play next season will determine the terms of his next contract.

Hands-on with HTC Desire S, Wildfire S and Incredible S
Hands-on with HTC Desire S, Wildfire S and Incredible S
While it was a strictly hands-off policy with the HTC Flyer, we did get some hands-on time with the three new Android smartphones. The HTC Desire S and Wildfire S, as you can discern from its name, are updates to the earlier HTC Desire and Wildfire. The Desire S does get a few upgrades along the way, including a bumped up RAM capacity to 768MB and faster HSDPA download speeds clocking in at 14.4Mbps. While its camera sensor remains at 5-megapixel, it is now capable of 720p video recording. As expected, the Desire S moves onto the next Google iteration, that being Google Android 2.3, aka Gingerbread, and powered by the new Qualcomm Snapdragon MSM8255 1GHz processor.
The Wildfire S is designated by HTC as a device for the mass market, aiming to create high sales volume through its affordable, yet feature packed offerings. This is evident from its Google Android 2.3 update, to an improvement on its display with a HVGA resolution of 320 x 480 pixels, and a 5-megapixel camera
Both the HTC Desire S and Wildfire S will be slated for a Q2 2011 release, with no pricing confirmed as of now.
Key highlights of the HTC Desire S
Key highlights of the HTC Wildfire S
The HTC Incredible S is the last of the three Android devices tagged with the S. As to why it is so, your guess is as good as ours, with HTC being unable to comment on that. Nonetheless, what really matters is the features of the Incredible S. Similar to the Desire S, it will be powered by the same Qualcomm 1GHz processor, but it goes a step further with a larger 4-inch screen at a resolution of 480 x 800 pixels, powered by Super LCD. Its imaging capabilities is also given a slight advantage over the other two devices, with an 8-megapixel camera accompanied by two LED flashes. Its multimedia features are aplenty, including stereo surround sound and the ability to stream the device's content through DLNA.
The HTC Incredible S will be targeted for a March 2011 availability.

O'Malley's next appearance is set to be his 50th for the province. The 24-year-old centre has not played senior rugby for Leinster since last May when he sustained a cruciate knee ligament injury against Glasgow Warriors.
Selection over the next few weeks is likely to be mixed between youth and experience. The likes of Leo Cullen, Shane Jennings, Isaac Boss, Isa Nacewa and Heinke van der Merwe are set to feature alongside a number of Academy players.
The players who have shown good form in the Leinster 'A' team's qualification for the British & Irish Cup quarter-finals in April could also come into the mix.
It is also hoped that some of the players helping with the preparations of the Ireland squad could be available for selection. The team and replacement for the Cardiff clash will be named on Thursday at midday.
Meanwhile, ticket sales for 'Ladies Night' at the RDS on Saturday week, February 16, against Benetton Treviso have passed the 15,200 mark.
Leinster v Benetton Treviso match tickets are on sale now online here as well as from the Leinster Rugby Store (Donnybrook), Spar (Donnybrook) and Ticketmaster outlets nationwide.

Pkviz is a tool for plotting and cycling through and animating a series of network packets captured by tcpdump. What makes it unique is that the packets' structure is visualized, not any labels and not time itself. Pkviz takes each byte in a packet and plots it out end-to-end, left-to-right, from the first byte to the last. How high the dot gets plotted depends on the value of the byte: bytes with a value of 0 are at the bottom and those which are 255 (0xff) – the maximum value of a byte – get plotted at the top. This might not be interesting for one packet, but that changes when you start looking at thousands of packets. Pkviz can cycle through thousands of packets in the set so you can see what happened on the wire.

For summer, I'm taking a look at Edward Bess' Ultra Luminous Bronzer in Daydream ($48 for 0.3 oz.)), a soft, natural bronzer. This bronzer has an understated elegance that I can easily and confidently wear.
It's impossible to over-do it. Unlike some bronzers I've tried (I'm looking at you, Giorgio Armani!), Daydream does not give the faintest hint of orange or cakey build-up when densely applied. Yet, Daydream is not too subtle. Unlike Guerlain Blondes, which can sometimes look a little beige even on my pale skin, Edward Bess' Daydream is soft and easily picked up by the brush. Daydream is an easy bronzer, even for those normally reluctant to add a little glow.
Daydream is sold in a large round compact with a mirrored lid. The compact is very slim and easy to pack for travel.
This bronzer is very soft and natural—arm swatches simply do not do this product justice. I asked my daughter Liz to pose for one picture without bronzer (on the left), then to add Daydream for a second picture (on the right):
Liz applied this product with a Sephora Bronzer Brush, added the color nearly everywhere, but more heavily on the chin, cheeks and forehead. As you can see, Liz's picture on the left is her normal pale NC15/20 (Chanel Cameo in Tient Innocence Fluid) skin tone. Adding Daydream for the picture on the right, Daydream's almost-matte texture gives Liz a "your skin but better" glow. The powder is very easy to work with, and seems to take away any oil-glow from being outdoors in summer.
- Tutorial: Bronzers can be used to sculpt and contour by focusing on the forehead, chin and cheeks. Makeup artist Lisa Eldridge has done a lovely bronzer tutorial at her site.
Liz finished her makeup by adding a blush, here Nars Lovejoy, to finish her look:
Overall, I like Edward Bess' Daydream bronzer for an everyday, subtle and sophisticated look. It's very appropriate for work or for a formal outdoor event where I want a bit of glow. For example, if I were attending a wedding, business meeting or a formal lunch, this is the bronzer that I would reach for. I can see myself purchasing Desert Sun, Edward Bess' darker bronzer, for a more dramatic look and to add variety.
Stay tuned–this week, I am hoping to post a review for the newly reformulated Guerlain Blondes bronzer for a comparison.

SEATTLE (AP) — U.S. education officials announced Thursday that three states have not fulfilled their promises to bring their teacher and principal evaluation systems up to federal standards, but Washington, Oregon and Kansas have been given one extra year to finish the work.
The new teacher evaluation systems were part of the requirements for waivers from the federal education law known as "No Child Left Behind." If the states meet the requirements of the waiver, they won't need to have every child meet state academic standards in reading and math by January 2014.
So far, 40 states and the District of Columbia have been granted a one- or two-year reprieve from the requirements of the U.S. education law, passed more than a decade ago. A group of districts in California recently were given a different kind of waiver from requirements of the federal law.
Washington, Oregon and Kansas had been placed on "high risk status" and given until the end of the 2012-13 school year to fix the way to include improvement in student test scores as a factor in teacher evaluations.
According to letters from Assistant Secretary Deborah S. Delisle, dated Wednesday, they all failed to meet their original deadlines.
These three states were among 10 given conditional waivers, which means they have to fix some things before getting more permanent flexibility. Of the 10, five passed all their federal conditions. Two others are still working on it: Georgia and Arizona.
Two other states that received their waivers more recently also will be closely watched over the next year to see if they meet some special conditions: Alabama and Hawaii. But the Department of Education says it is watching every state that has been given a waiver to make sure they are keeping their promises to reform their educational systems.
The letters sent this week gave the three states one more year to finish their education reform plans, but she wrote the federal government would not be giving them another extension after the 2013-14 school year ends.
If they don't succeed they may need to go back to the original federal rules that require every school and every district to meet a group of benchmarks for kids in various ethnic and economic groups.
No Child Left Behind, also known as the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, came up for renewal in 2007 but its requirements have yet to be updated by Congress.
Education Secretary Arne Duncan has pushed lawmakers to revisit the law and started the waiver program as a temporary measure. The House and Senate have been working on competing rewrites of the law.

I'm testing out this new blog features as I'm thinking of you annual couples camping trip that I plan.
For the second year in a row we are camping how the shore of Lake Michigan on the Wisconsin side. The camp ground is huge and beautiful. There is so much to do and it very dog friendly. There are sand dunes and a board walk to walk on and then the lake is so blue it looks like the ocean. There are many miles of beach to walk on. I like going when it's cold cause we take the dogs

Even though PHP is intrinsically a weakly-typed language, as it doesn't internally impose any constraints on the types of values that can be held by a given variable (with the exception of type hinting and type casting), its introspective capabilities are quite impressive indeed. Native old functions like "is_int()," "is_string()" and "is_float()" among others, which have been used for years, gave programmers the ability to check at runtime if the value assigned to a variable honors a specified type.
While it's fair to say that these and other functions play a relevant role within the introspective facet of the language, the truth is that they fall short and become useless quickly, especially when it comes to analyzing the internal structure of classes and interfaces. Frankly speaking, PHP 4 already included a set of functions that allowed developers to inspect classes at a limited level, and they continue to be widely used in programs today. Unfortunately, with the introduction of a highly-enhanced object model in PHP 5, the limitation imposed by these functions became even more evident.
The happy side of this story is that, along with its most popular object-oriented bells and whistles, PHP 5 was also packaged with a powerful reflection API. This API takes the language's introspective abilities to a far more mature stage. What's more, it includes some convenient methods that permit developers to dissect both classes and interfaces down to their bare bones, which can be much more useful than you might think.
As with many other features of PHP 5, unquestionably the best place to get an intimate background in its reflection API is the official documentation. Even so, for many lazy programmers (like me), sometimes it's good to have at hand an additional guide that quickly shows how to use the most relevant methods of the API in question.
With that idea in mind, in this group of tutorials I'm going to attempt to provide you with a variety of simple code samples that hopefully will get you started using the PHP 5 reflection API — without having to scratch your head trying to figure out how to work with its methods.
Are you ready to start digging deeper into the reflection programming interface provided by PHP 5? Then click on the link below and begin reading the next few lines. It'll be an instructive experience, trust me!
{mospagebreak title=Building a sample interface and a basic class}
In the introduction, I mentioned the neat capabilities offered by the PHP Reflection API without explaining in detail what it is. So before I move on and start writing any code samples, a more precise explanation is in order here. Basically, this API is comprised of a set of methods that allow you to analyze the inner structure of classes and interfaces very easily, thus making it possible to determine, for example, if a reflected class defines a given method or not, or if the class declares a specified property, in addition to checking whether that property is public, protected or private.
A similar level of reflection can be reached with interfaces as well, but this simple example should give you a clue to all the things that can be achieved with the API. Of course, it's possible to accomplish much more than determining the visibility of a specific class property. However, as this is a work in progress, I'm going to start covering, for the moment, the API's basic functionality.
Therefore, to begin showing you the actual power behind the PHP 5's reflection capabilities, I'm going to define a sample interface along with a basic class, which will be progressively stripped down to their bare bones via pure reflection.
Now that I have explained my plan for this article series, below you'll find the definitions of the sample interface and its implementing class. They look like this:
interface Identifier
public function setId($id);
public function getId();
* A sample user class
* @param id fname lname email
class User implements Identifier
private $id = NULL;
private $fname = 'Alejandro';
private $lname = 'Gervasio';
private $email = 'email@example.com';
const HEADING = 'Using the Reflection API in PHP 5';
// constructor (not implemented)
public function __construct(){}
//setter for id property
public function setId($id)
if (!is_numeric($id))
throw new Exception('ID must be a numeric value');
$this->id = $id;
// getter for id property
public function getId()
return $this->id;
// setter for fname property
public function setFirstName($fname)
if (empty($fname) OR !is_string($fname))
throw new Exception('First name must be a non-empty string.');
$this->fname = $fname;
// getter for fname property
public function getFirstName()
return $this->fname;
// setter for lname property
public function setLastName($lname)
if (empty($fname) OR !is_string($fname))
throw new Exception('Last name must be a non-empty string.');
$this->lname = $lname;
// getter for lname property
public function getLastName()
return $this->lname;
// setter for email property
public function setEmail($email)
if (empty($email) OR !is_string($email) OR strpos($email, '@') === FALSE)
throw new Exception('Email must be a well-formatted email address.');
$this->email = $email;
// getter for email property
public function getEmail()
return $this->email;
As you can see above, I defined a trivial interface called "Identifier" along with an implementing "User" class. The interface is so simple that it doesn't bear any further discussion, so I suggest that you pay attention to the class. It implements not only the unique method declared by the interface, but a few additional ones, which allow you to set and retrieve the values assigned to its $fname, $lname and $email properties.
Logically, in this case the class does nothing particularly useful; it behaves like a simple data container. However, the purpose of coding a class like this is to use it for demonstrating how to dissect its structure via the reflection API.
So far, so good. Now that there's a basic class and an interface available for immediate testing, the next thing we must do is start coding some examples that show how to put the API to work.
The first of these examples will be coded in the section to come. So click on the link below and keep reading.
{mospagebreak title=Finding the name of a reflected class}
Any decent reflection library should be able to retrieve the most basic information about a target class, and the reflection API provided by PHP is no exception. However, you may be wondering how to use it with the previous interface and its implementing class. Below I've coded an example that shows the simplest way to use the API.
Pay close attention to the following code fragment, please:
// create instance of 'User' class
$user = new User();
// create instance of Reflection class and pass in 'User' class as argument
$reflector = new ReflectionClass('User');
// get name of reflected class
echo $reflector->getName(); // displays 'User'
As you can see above, I first created an instance of the sample "User" class only for demonstrative purposes, and second (here's where the magic really happens), a new reflector object has been spawned from the native "ReflectionClass" class. This one is truly the workhorse of the entire reflection API; it takes as an as input argument the name of the class that needs to be reflected.
In this example, the string "User" has been passed to the constructor of the "ReflectionClass" class (don't worry if your tongue gets stuck at this point). This process returns a reflector object that will allow you to retrieve valuable information about the "User" class that you saw in the previous section.
Since I'm just starting to explore the reflection API, the first thing that the above example does is invoke a method called "getName()," which returns the name of the reflected class. But, wait a minute! We already knew that, right?
This time, yes, but there will be situations in which the name of the reflected class will not be known ahead of time, so using the "getName()" method is not so pointless as it may seem. Besides, the use of this method opens the door to working with many others, which will be covered in this tutorial and the ones to come.
At this stage, you've learned how to utilize one method of the reflection API to retrieve the name of the class being reflected. That was a fairly straightforward process, so it's time to explore other methods that will allow us to get additional information about that class. The ones that will be discussed in the following section will return the name of the constant defined within the "User" class, so to learn how to use them, click on the link below and read the new few lines.
{mospagebreak title=Finding the constants defined by a reflected class}
In the preceding segment, I demonstrated how to use the "getName()" method provided by the native "ReflectionClass" class to obtain the name of the class being reflected. Since this operation was really easy to grasp, I'm now going to show you how to utilize a couple of additional methods to get the names and values of the constants declared by the reflected class.
To do so, in the following lines I coded a brand new script that retrieves the HEADING constant, defined by the previous "User" class:
// create instance of 'User' class
$user = new User();
// create instance of Reflection class and pass in 'User' class as argument
$reflector = new ReflectionClass('User');
// get constant in reflected class
echo $reflector->getConstant('HEADING'); // displays 'Using the Reflection API in PHP 5'
// get an array of constants in reflected class
print_r($reflector->getConstants()); // displays Array ( [HEADING] => Using the Reflection API in PHP 5 )
As seen above, retrieving the values assigned to the constants defined by a given class is only a matter of calling the "getConstant()" and "getConstants()" methods of the reflection API, and nothing else. The first of these methods takes the name of the constant that needs to be parsed, while the second one simply returns an array of constants, populated with their corresponding values.
This basic code sample does reveal the impressive potential of the reflection API for inspecting the internal structure of a class. But this is only a humble beginning. The API comes packaged with many other handy methods that will be discussed in depth in subsequent tutorials of this series.
Final thoughts
In this introductory part of the series, I started exploring some of the methods included with the Reflection API bundled with PHP 5. As you saw for yourself, the interface allows you to collect relevant information about a reflected class, including its name, its declared constants and properties, in a extremely straightforward way.
However, I'm only scratching the surface when it comes to the full capabilities that this API freely offers. Therefore, in the next part I'm going to show you how to use it for retrieving additional information about a target class, such as its starting and ending lines, the name of the file that contains the class, the interfaces that it implements and much more.
