The porn industry is often viewed as something of a bellwether for content delivery, having played important (and occasionally decisive) roles in previous media shifts, including moving from film to video (and specifically backing the nascent VHS standard), adopting DVD early, shifting to the internet as a delivery medium, and as one of the early explorers of 3D television.
It would be too easy to make jokes about why 3D movies about the birds and the bees failed to achieve sufficient market…err…penetration, but according to Xbiz's findings, just 1 in 5 industry professionals believe that 3D content will in demand in coming years. They have higher hopes for the Google TVs of the world, which would enable steaming content to be viewed on demand, presumably purchased in a more private setting then ordering from your local cable company.
But smartphones and tablets are largely seen as the future of content delivery for the porn of tomorrow; 44% of professionals expect mobile devices to overtake PCs and laptops as the primary consumption devices, siting advantages in portability and privacy gained on mobile devices. Colin Rowntree, owner of online adult video sites, said:
"Over the next two years, I'd say that desktops/laptops will remain the primary porn viewing platform. Out more than five years, however, I predict that tablets and mobile devices will become the dominant platform. What is really going to take off when there is sufficient market saturation are tablets, because they are cheaper than laptops and you can take them to bed with you."
If the past is prelude to the future, the Xbiz study is evidence that the post-PC era will accelerate, with mobile devices continuing to eat into the laptop and PC market. At the very least, it adds a different subtext to today's unveiling of the new iPad with a Retina Display.

" Genre: Children's DVDs - Disney / Universal, suitable for all / DVD released 2012-09-03 at Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment / Features of the DVD: PAL "
* Prices may differ from that shown
I'm a huge Disney fan and if you've read any of my other reviews you're probably realising that by now. I've made it my mission to collect all of the Disney classics and 101 Dalmatians is the 17th Disney classic. I absolutely adored this film as a child and now at 19 nothing's changed, I never get bored of watching it and it has to be one of my favourite Disney films.
If you've never had the pleasure of watching this film or don't know the story I'll give you the basic jist: Pongo and Pedita are two Dalmatians belonging to husband and wife Roger and Anita. The two dogs fall in love and have a brood of 15 puppies, all with their own personalities and loveable traits such as Rolly, a fat and greedy puppy. The puppies are then stolen by the villain Cruella De Vil as she wants to make a fur coat out of them. Pongo and Pedita set out on an adventure aided by many friends along the way to rescue their puppies (and several more) and bring them back home).
This film has a fantastic and varied mixture of comedy, action and suspense and children and adults of all ages will love it. The animation is clever and the cartoon graphics are sharp and come to live on screen.
The film is rated as a U so is suitable for children of any age, however there are some parts which I found scary as a child so bare this in mind. The running time of the film is 76 minutes so kids won't get too fidgety watching it.
There's also loads of bonus material available with the platinum edition including virtual games and history of the animation and music of the film.
Overall this is a brilliant, charming and enchanting Disney film which will make you want your own Dalmatian.

removing drywall from stud
I'am removeing drywall thats been glue on to the stud but it dosen't seem to to wanted come away from the stud the papper and drywall stay there. what can i do to remove it from the stud, or the best way to remove it thank you
I use a large chisel or a painters tool--and a hammer----just chisel it off---Mike---
gtw010, If you have alot to remove. Get the Dremel Multi-Max Oscillating Kit
This could be the best $89 you ever spent.:yes:
Those multi tools are the handiest things---we dubbed mine " the super tool"
Comes out of the truck almost every day----
It's my new favorite "go to" tool also. Haven't tried it in this application yet, but it could just be the answer to the annoying "glue on the stud" issue. A good stiff scraper or painters tool has been my method in the past....
Cut out all your can, then tap the drywall until it comes off....It'll be messy, but it'll come off.

Thingiverse user blddk posted up a 3D printable LED holder for the Adafruit Ambilight kit.
I recently got a DIY ambilight kit from Adafruit (adafruit.com/products/461 ), and was looking for a way to put the LEDs behind my monitor.
The way it is done in the tutorial, where they are mounted on a plate behind the screen, is not an option for me, since the VESA mount is used, and it is not possible to add an extra plate without extending the monitor almost 5 cm more out from the wall.
Instead I designed this led holder.

'Cartographer of No Man's Land' on World War One's place in fiction
By Randall Mikkelsen
BOSTON (Reuters) - Writer P.S. Duffy wove her affection for Nova Scotia's maritime culture, a career in science and a background in history into a debut novel depicting the trauma of World War One on the psyche and society.
The book, "The Cartographer of No Man's Land," is about a young would-be artist and his scarred return home after the Battle of Vimy Ridge, where Canada's victory helped forged its national identity.
Duffy, a neuroscience writer at the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota, has also written a textbook and a memoir of her family's life in China during the Communist revolution.
She spoke with Reuters about her writing life, science and literature, and the cultural legacy of World War One nearly 100 years after the first shot was fired in 1914.
Q: What is your background in literature and science?
A: I've been writing all my life. My family were storytellers ... I was writing, even though I was writing science or essays. And I had poetry published ...
It really wasn't until around 2000, after I had published this memoir about my family's time in China, that I thought I will really work on fiction and get a handle on it.
Writing comes easily to me, in terms of putting a sentence together, crafting a paragraph, the rhythm and the feel of language. I needed to learn a lot about the basic elements of fiction, the craft. Continued...

I know it would be optimal for me to show an image but I haven't got a camera available atm and I thought I'd ask just in case others have experienced this.
I like to spit felt join when I can but in doing a current item in garter stitch, each time the 'join' (like right where the two strands cross over and back) is knitted I wind up with a misshapen stitch in that place. In looking closely it's because the yarn at that point is thicker and so a thicker 'loop' is basically pulling the stitch up and opening it more. When I've knitted double stranded I've not really noticed this because I'm only doing one join at a time.
I think if you felt, this larger hole and raised stitch becomes a non-issue and I guess many of us are felting when we do this? But if you're not felting and you want to avoid this larger stitch in a row, is there a way to do it?
I unply the yarn and cut the ply in half. So if it's a 4 ply yarn I cut two ply's off each end, and then I felt them. It's a lot less bulky this way, and after the first time only takes a second to do.
Ahh.. you know I'd not even thought of that..thanks
[FONT=Comic Sans MS][SIZE=3][COLOR=darkorchid]I generally use a Russian Join which creates a bit of bulk, too. I find that once you pass the area and have added a few rows I don't even notice the bulkier st(s). It's real obvious when you are doing it, but it blends into the knitting after there are a few rows and sts around it.[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]
Yes, I agree it does tend to disappear somewhat after a while but I was concerned about thinner/finer work I guess. I also see it more obviously in sections where there are colour changes. In the same colour sections it's not so obvious.
I split the plies in half, too. That way it's not thicker than surrounding stitches for the most part. It tends to be a tad stiffer, but doesn't seem to show overall.

The Milk Chocolate Wavy Lay's: Yay or Nay? [Audio]
What do you get when you cross "delicious Lay's Wavy Chips" with "luscious milk chocolate"? You get the "salty and sweet magic" of Lay's Milk Chocolate Wavy Lays. We heard rumors that Lay's was ready to launch its latest tasty creation, so Tuesday morning on The WBKR Waking Crew, we set out to find bags of them and poll our listeners' taste buds with a simple "Yay or Nay?" What's the verdict?
WBKR Waking Crew regular Kizzy was all worked up at the mere mention of a chocolate-coated potato chip. She called the show and claimed to have died and gone to the great big grocery store in the sky. LOL! Listen . . .
Other WBKR listeners chimed in on Facebook in our daily Tad Poll. Here are some of our favorite responses from the day:
Heather Marie Hendren: Up and comer at Lay's- "Let's take two addictive foods and put them together in one bag. They'll eat the whole thing in one sitting." Lay's Executive- "BRILLIANT! You, sir, get a raise and free triple heart bypass." (Insert eye roll).
Matt Adams: People are not overweight because of the things they eat! People are overweight because they choose not to exercise! If you don't want to eat a chocolate covered potato chip don't eat it! If you do, you will be part of the cool people who have actually tried it!
Karen Griepenstroh: Oh no, This is just plain and downright sickening…..The New Lays Barf Chips…. Yay !!
Kimberly Hampton: Nay, sweet, greasy and salty, not a good combination. Kinda like the chicken and waffles chip they had… Nasty.
Joan Pleasant: Ummm….YES, PLEASE!!! Lol Those look so delicious!!
Josh Brust: And don't ya know, I'd try anything thrice!
Debbie Jackson: Bet you can't eat just one!
And what did we think when Brett "Puppy" Wharff returned to the studio after his Wavy Lay- finding mission to Target? Well, see for yourself . . .

Two South Carolinians were
paramount in making Charlotte the major commercial and
industrial center of the two Carolinas. They were Edward
and Daniel Augustus
Tompkins. David Ovens , a
native of Kingston, Ontario who came to Charlotte in 1903 as
manager of the local shop operated by the S. H. Kress Co.,
singled out New South industrialist D. A. Tompkins
as the principal reason for
Charlotte's impressive rate of growth in the late 1800s, calling
him a "brilliant engineer." "It was he," Ovens insisted, "who
led the way in persuading people from distant points to come
here and invest capital in the establishment of factories and
mills." "Then there was Mr. E. D. Latta," Ovens continued, "who
gave us our first electric street railway, gas and electric
Edward Dilworth
moved from New York City to
Charlotte and established E. D. Latta and Brothers, a men's
clothing store, in October 1876. No doubt the enterprising
haberdasher was attracted by the vigorous economic climate in
Charlotte and the prospects for making money. Latta's impact on
this community, however, was to go far beyond that engendered by
his clothing business. Until his departure in May 1923, when he
moved to Asheville, Latta played a pivotal role in the
transformation of the city from a modest commercial center of
7,094 inhabitants in 1880 into an industrial and financial
metropolis of the Piedmont in 1920, boasting a population of
46,338. In large measure, Latta was typical of the new class of
investors, industrialists, and businessmen who arose in North
Carolina and the South following the Civil War. As exponents of
a "New South," such men became convinced that future wealth in
the region lay not in traditional farming methods but in
industrialization, urbanization, and scientific agriculture; and
they took advantage of the new economic opportunities afforded
by the growth of manufacturing and the rise of sizable urban
Having secured a
franchise from the Westinghouse Machine Company of Pittsburgh,
Pennsylvania for the selling and installing of steam engines and
other machinery, Tompkins selected Charlotte as the location of
his enterprise, which opened on March 27, 1883. He
considered moving to Columbia, South Carolina, but chose
Charlotte instead because of its central location in the two
Carolinas and because of its superior railroad connections.
On May 17, 1873, the
Carolina Central Railroad Company
had acquired the right of way and had undertaken the task of
completing a continuous track from Wilmington to Rutherfordton.
This job had been completed on December 15, 1874. By 1873, the
Atlanta and Charlotte Airline Railroad had finished laying
track between Charlotte and Spartanburg, South Carolina and on
to Atlanta. In 1884, Tompkins established the D. A. Tompkins
Company. This enterprise was
"at the forefront" of machinery manufacturing for the southern
textile mills, offering mills "a local alternative to their
dependence upon northern suppliers," writes historian Brent
Glass. The Augusta Chronicle described Tompkins as "the
man that put Charlotte on the map for cotton mill machinery."
D. A. Tompkins remained in Charlotte until his death in 1914 and helped build
a virtual cotton mill empire in the Tar Heel State. He became a
director of A. and M. College (now North Carolina State
University) at Raleigh and was instrumental in establishing the
textile department there. He was the author of a number of works
on cotton mills and textiles, most notably Cotton Mill:
Commercial Features, as well as a two-volume history of
Mecklenburg County. He also owned three North Carolina
newspapers, including the Charlotte Observer , which he
purchased in 1892. "The one thing I wanted the paper for was to
preach the doctrines of industrial development," said
Tompkins. In July 1894, Tompkins joined with other wealthy
businessmen in Charlotte in establishing the Southern
Manufacturers' Club . Puffing on cigars and drinking fine
brandy whiskey, he and the other members of the town's
privileged elite would gather in their opulent headquarters
building on West Trade Street and "do business." As were the
other powerful industrialists of his type and time, Tompkins was
committed to laissez-faire capitalism and opposed public reforms
for better industrial working conditions including the
regulation of child labor. He was also a devoted defender of
what he called "Anglo Saxon values," a code name for White
Cotton was brought to the Charlotte
Cotton Platform for shipment to others cities.
In keeping with cotton being its
principal cash crop, Mecklenburg County did become a major
center of textile manufacturing in the second half of the
nineteenth century. "New ideas of life have taken firm hold of
the South," Tompkins proclaimed, "and to succeed and prosper, we
must spin cotton." Mecklenburg County had two cotton mills
before the Civil War. The Catawba Manufacturing Company opened
in 1848 in the Steele Creek community of southwestern
Mecklenburg. Its owner, William Henry Neel , was a prominent citizen, having
been a County Commissioner, a member of the Steele Creek
Presbyterian Church , an officer in the local militia, and a
successful cotton farmer.
Neel's imposing Federal style home still sits atop a
hillside just west of Shopton Road. Neel operated a grist mill
near what is now Withers Cove on Lake Wylie and placed some
spindles in this facility and produced yarn. The output was
modest. The plant closed before the end of the Civil War. No
physical remains survive. The other and more important
ante-bellum textile mill was the Rock Island Mill , established
in 1848 by Charlotte businessmen R. C. Carson , John A. Young ,
and Z. A. Grier
. It too is gone.
The first facility in Mecklenburg County devoted exclusively to
the spinning of cotton fiber was the
Glenroy Cotton Mill .
Founded by E. C. Grier and his son, G. S. Grier , the mill was
located about half way between Matthews and Providence
Presbyterian Church , in southeastern Mecklenburg County. It
contained 350 spindles and produced bale yarn. It was
established in 1874 and operated for approximately eighteen
months. The building was demolished in 1899.
The Charlotte
Cotton Mills covered an entire block.
founder of the initial cotton mill in Charlotte was Robert
Marcus Oates , a
native of Cleveland County and a Confederate veteran who also
served on both the County Commission and the Charlotte Board of
Aldermen. "He was strong in his convictions, conservative in his
ideas, and these two characteristics together with his mental
ability and correctness of life made him a tower of strength to
the community," declared a Charlotte newspaper. Named the
Charlotte Cotton Mills , the plant opened in December
1880 and went into full operation the next year. The
Charlotte Observer , an ardent backer of industrialization
even before Tompkins bought it, anticipated that the mill would
"add much to Charlotte's material prosperity . . . . and some
predict that it will be the means of bringing similar
enterprises into operation." Most of the workers were women.
"The opening of the Charlotte Cotton Mill represented the
beginning of a new industrial era in Charlotte's history,"
writes historian Janette Greenwood. Parts of the Charlotte
Cotton Mills still stand at West Fifth and North Graham Streets.
John Cross, a Mecklenburg County
farmer, takes his cotton to market in 1907.
A. Tompkins
built and equipped three cotton mills in Charlotte in 1889 –
the Victor , the Ada , and the Alpha . Two of the three
buildings survive, the Ada and the
Alpha . Called "hummers" because of the noise produced by
the spinning and weaving machines, the new mills appeared at the
edges of town along railroad lines. Tompkins did not like sites
in the hearts of cities. "The proximity of lawyers . . .
promotes law suits," he declared, and a "mill in the country can
operate its own store and thereby get back some of money paid
for wages." It is important to note that Northern capital
played no role in financing the great majority of Charlotte's
first cotton mills. They were home-owned and home-operated.
The Atherton Mill is in the
1892, Tompkins joined with three other local industrialists, R.
M. Miller , R. M. Miller, Jr ., and E. A.
Smith , in picking the southern end of
Dilworth ,
Charlotte's first trolley suburb, as the place to erect the
only cotton mill in Mecklenburg County that he owned and ran,
although he did operate a cottonseed oil plant nearby. The
Atherton Mills began operations in January 1893, with 5,000
spindles manufacturing yarn goods. "There's no doubt about it,
things are 'humming' in the Queen City, and 'humming' to the
tune of lively progress," declared Tompkins's Charlotte
Observer .
Upper Left: Hoskins Mill. Upper
Right: Mecklenburg Mill. Lower Left: Elizabeth Mill.
Lower Right Chadwick Mill.
After 1900, entire mill villages
containing more than one factory began to appear on the
outskirts of Charlotte. E. A. Smith , a native of Baltimore and part
owner of the Atherton Mills , organized the Chadwick and
Textile employees, mostly white yeomen farmers and their
families who had migrated to the city in search of jobs,
typically labored ten to twelve house a day Monday to Friday and
five hours on Saturday. One mill worker recalled a routine
day's work for her mother.
After a
hard shift of breathing in cotton lint, her ears ringing from
the constant "bangin" and "slappin" of the motor belts, and the
eternal never ending "swishin" of the bobbins and thread, she
often worked late into the night hours at our own home. Still
tired from the previous day's work, she would crawl out of bed
at 4:30 a.m. the next morning, cook breakfast and head out to
the mill to begin another shift.
When asked about books, one Mecklenburg mill hand answered that
he had no time to read. "We have to go to work at fifteen
minutes to six and work till seven in the evening," he
explained. A worker in neighboring Gaston County
complained bitterly about the impact of mill life upon the
laboring people. "In a few years, unless we get shorter
hours in cotton mills, you will see a State full of dwarfs and
invalids," he warned.
New South industrialists vigorously opposed
any efforts by outside groups to improve the lot of textile
workers. A particularly dramatic encounter arose between
Tompkins and Methodist minister J. A. Baldwin . Baldwin visited the Atherton
Mill Village in 1898 and was appalled by the disease,
malnutrition, and overall poverty that he insisted existed
there Tompkins responded by telling the preacher that the
plight of textile workers was of their own making. They are "of
roving dispositions, are shiftless, and improvident," he
D. A. Tompkins used the so-called "rough rule" in assigning
families to his mill houses, meaning that a mill worker was to
be supplied for every room in the house. Rent ranged from
75 cents to one dollar per day. In a letter he wrote to a
textile official in Patterson, New Jersey, Tompkins defended his
practice of not placing closets, bathrooms or hot water in his
mill houses. He explained that the majority of his workers
had grown up in rural areas, where such "modern improvements"
were unknown. "Sometimes they would object to ordinary
clothes closets," he reported, "on the pleas that they were
receptacles for worn out shoes and skirts that ought to be
thrown away and destroyed."
On balance, the evidence suggests
that the D. A. Tompkins
Company administered its
workforce with a tight fist. "I heartily approve discipline and
good order in my organization," Tompkins declared. Although
examples of paternalism did exist, such as awarding a prize of
five hundred dollars annually for the best flower and vegetable
gardens, the overall impression is that the mill families
followed a daily routine dominated by hard work and long hours.
"Tompkins' philosophy," a biographer wrote, "was blind to the
needs of humanity in a society which was being increasingly
Atherton Lyceum
A. Tompkins
took advantage of the fact that it was not until 1903 that the
General Assembly of North Carolina enacted a child labor law,
prohibiting the employment of children less than twelve years of
age. He did build a school, the Atherton Lyceum , and imported
his sister from Edgefield, South Carolina to teach fundamental
quantitative and verbal skills to the mill children and their
parents. Despite his patriotic pronouncements, Tompkins
compelled his workers to labor on the Fourth of July, at least
until July 4, 1907, when he acquiesced to the suggestion
advanced by the superintendent of the Atherton Mills and
sponsored a picnic at the Catawba River , where his employees were served
sandwiches and lemonade.
A series of momentous developments in
the physical evolution of Charlotte occurred in 1890-91.
Edward Dilworth Latta , native of Pendleton,
South Carolina, former student at Princeton University, and
owner of a clothing manufacturing plant in Charlotte since the
early 1880s, joined with five associates on July 8, 1890, to
create the Charlotte Consolidated Construction Company , locally
known as the Four C's . Like Tompkins, Latta was an
enthusiastic advocate of what historian Paul M. Gaston has
termed "the New South Creed." Accordingly, like many Southern
leaders who attained adulthood during the decade of intense
poverty that followed the Civil War, Latta insisted that his
native region must discard the past and seek to emulate much of
the industrial and urban society of the North. Grounded
philosophically in the tenets of Social Darwinism, Latta
believed that the South should marshal its talents and resources
and beat the Yankees at their own game. "We must go forward or
retrograde – there is no resting place with progress," he
Central Hotel on the Square was a favorite spot for New
South leaders to meet and eat.
As president of the Four C's ,
Latta superintended the activities preparatory to the opening of
Dilworth , a suburb containing 1635 lots and located on the
former fairgrounds and adjacent parcels to the immediate south
of the city. Uppermost on his agenda was the installation of an
electric streetcar or trolley system. Charlotte had obtained a
horse-drawn or mule-drawn streetcar system in January 1887, but
Latta became convinced that only the new-fangled electric
streetcar could provide the kind of reliable service Dilworth
would require. Thomas Edison , who had established a laboratory
in the former United States Branch Mint to investigate how
electricity might be used to extract gold from low-grade ore,
visited in Latta's home and probably played a part in persuading
his host that Charlotte needed a trolley system.
Not surprisingly, the Edison Electric
Company was awarded the contract to
construct the electric streetcar system for the Four C's on
February 11, 1891. Soon thereafter, C. E. Collins , an Edison
official, arrived in Charlotte to oversee the job. Work began
in March and terminated on May 18, 1891, when the first trolley
departed from the intersection of Trade and Tryon Streets and
headed toward Dilworth . The Charlotte News reported
that a "great and jolly crowd" assembled to witness the event.
The Morning Star of
Wilmington described the reaction of the public to the placement
of the entire system into operation on May 20, 1891, the opening
day of the land sale in Dilworth. "The streets and yards fairly
swarmed with people, each hurrahing and waving as the car passed
along. Bouquets were sent to adorn the cars with," the
newspaper continued, "and every one was wild with joy."
On March 14, 1891, the Charlotte
Consolidated Construction Company
began a series of daily advertisements that appeared for a year
in the Charlotte News . They provide a fascinating
insight into the mindset of Edward Dilworth Latta and his
associates. These men, who congratulated themselves on being
visionaries "before whose eyes the future hangs no veil," looked
upon Dilworth as a symbol of urban maturity that would galvanize
local support for a program of unceasing growth and expansion.
Above all else, they wanted their streetcar suburb to serve as a
beacon that would guide and direct the citizenry in a crusade to
transform Charlotte into a commercial and industrial center of
the New South.

Research to improve breast cancer screening among urban American Indian women
"Breast Cancer Screening Among Urban American Indian Women" is a three and one-half year project which has the goal of changing the behavior of underserved, urban Native American women through the implementation of a culturally competent outreach intervention. There have been two earlier phases to this project that have succeeded in developing much of the plans for the intervention. Phase III, which will be supported by Foundation funding for the first year, will entail the implementation of the culturally appropriate screening and service system at three Native American health care agencies in Denver and Los Angeles. The results of this implementation will then be compared to the results of the standard (not culturally specific) screening system that has been in place for the last two years. This research project is unique in that no other project, up until now, has combined the development, testing, and evaluation of a culturally appropriate health care delivery system within the same project.

Now this makes a refreshing change: Samsung, famous for its 'World's First...' proclamations, has today become one of the last major camcorder manufacturers to come up with an HD model. Still, looks like it has done a nice job...
The 'SC-HMX10' is capable of shooting in 720p and records content using the space saving H.264 codec onto either its 8GB of onboard storage or flash memory via its SD/SDHC expansion slot.
The image viewer is quite large at 2.7 inches and there's a single 1/6" CMOS chip with a gross pixel count of 1.5MP. Optical zoom is an excellent 10x while digital zoom is a great sounding 100x, but we all know digital zooms are completely pointless (better to shoot and crop). Battery life is fairly standard at 90 minutes (when recording using the highest quality levels) and there are five shooting modes in total. Connectivity is your usual mix with HDMI, component and USB ports and a mic input.
A standard definition version of this model, called the SC-DX10 – a hybrid DVD-flash memory camcorder - with 4GB of memory – will also launch around the same time. As the features suggest, the SC-HMX10 will be pretty affordable and its $799 should attract many when it launches in September. The stand def SC-DX10 will go for $549 when it arrives in October.
Don't worry Sammy, I'm sure you'll have another 'World's First...' before long.

There is some interesting Apple chitter chatter going around the web this week, let's take a look...
What seems to have gotten most attention is the fact an iPhone 3GS is actually capable of 1080p (1920 x 1080) 'Full HD' playback on the handset. This seems quite the coup and yet bizarrely is something Apple wants to keep under wraps. The official line is VGA is its limit, the same as the iPhone 3G which is quite a poor argument given the significantly more powerful graphics capabilities of the 3GS.
As for the nitty gritty there are likely several reasons why this is being kept quiet. Firstly, there are some issues with extremely high bitrate HD content and secondly, not all audio codecs play nicely. The iPhone 3G also fails these tests completely so it may be Apple doesn't want to confuse consumers. In addition, there appears little practical benefit to playing 1080p video on an iPhone without decent TV output options (HDMI port in generation four please!) and I suspect playback will destroy battery life.
What will Apple say about all this? Expect stony silence.
Next up we hear iTunes 9 could well be headed into (even greater) bloatware territory with the integration of social networking. Primarily this will involve the ability to create a new playlist and share it on Facebook. This can feature a short user description and a link to the playlist. How this will work when opened if recipients don't own all the tracks (iTunes purchase links?) is currently unknown, but it does sound a little fussy compared to the Spotify html track, album and playlist sharing approach. Besides, there are many things I have long waited to see in iTunes (playback directly from a connected iPhone, multiple computer iTunes syncing, native network support) but Facebook integration has never been one of them...
Lastly, if you've just made the significant investment of buying an iPhone 3GS and want to keep it safe then Apple accessory specialist Cygnett may have the thing for you. It wades into the ultra competitive field of iPhone cases with a new line of 'Jellybean' hard cases. Unlike most, the Jellybean line still allows the Apple logo to be visible on the back and includes a screen protector to guard against scratches, smudges and dust.
As usual, full access to the iPhone screen, buttons, camera and charging/syncing is available with the case on and the identical form factor of the 3GS to the 3G means they will fit both models. The range goes on sale immediately, with cases priced at just £12.
So yet another busy Apple rumour week draws to a close. Expect the circus to kick off again first thing Monday morning...

Some manufacturers place restrictions on how details of their products may be communicated.
Solid 11/09/2007
This review is from: Kingston 2GB MicroSD Flash Card w/ 2 Adapters Model SDC/2GB-2ADP
inexpensive, comes with two different adapters, works well. I wanted the SD adapter because my notebook has a SD reader slot built in. I use it in my Blackberry. Data transfer is much faster using the adapter than the Blackberry cable.
can't think of any, other than I am hoping for higher capacity microSD at a reasonable cost.
Other Thoughts:
If you want a USB adapter there are other cards that come with it.

NY Times ignored mounting evidence undermining Frist's claims that "he did not know how much HCA stock he held"
One day after a front-page Washington Post report [1] documented that the trustees for hospital company HCA Inc. "have written to" Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist (R-TN) "15 times detailing the sale of assets from or the contribution of assets to trusts of Frist and his family," The New York Times uncritically reported [2] on October 25 that Frist "often said he did not know how much HCA stock he held." Times reporter Sheryl Gay Stolberg ignored the very evidence cited in a Times editorial [3] published the same day that credited the Post with breaking the story and argued that "Mr. Frist must answer to the American people for the fact that his statements before the sale were, at the very least, misleading."
From The New York Times article [2] on Frist, who is currently under investigation by federal prosecutors and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for initiating the sale of stock in HCA, a hospital chain founded by his family, shortly before a weak earnings report caused the company's share price to plummet:
In 2000, Mr. Frist decided to take his investments out of several Tennessee trusts and place them in a "qualified blind trust." Under Senate rules, such trusts are managed by independent trustees; the lawmaker, however, can direct the trustee to sell off an asset. Mr. Frist often said he did not know how much HCA stock he held; this year, he reported $7 million to $35 million in assets, including his HCA shares.
Records show that Mr. Frist, his wife and their children initially contributed $10 million in HCA stock to the trust, which also included stock in the pharmaceutical companies Abbott Laboratories and Johnson & Johnson. Senate rules did not require a blind trust, but Mr. Frist said last week that he wanted to go beyond what the rules required.
"I thought, 'Why not raise the bar?' " Mr. Frist told reporters. "Why not do a good deed and put everything in a blind trust where you are not the day-to-day manager, where you can proceed with business here and avoid any appearance?"
Yet, as the Post noted [1], the letters written by HCA trustees to Frist -- which include notice of the addition of HCA shares to Frist's trust in 2001 and 2002 -- "seem to undermine one of the major arguments the senator has used throughout his political career to rebut criticism of his ownership in HCA: that the stock was held in blind trusts beyond his control and that he had little idea of the extent of those holdings":
Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist (R-Tenn.) was given considerable information about his stake in his family's hospital company, according to records that are at odds with his past statements that he did not know what was in his stock holdings.
Managers of the trusts that Frist once described as "totally blind," regularly informed him when they added new shares of HCA Inc. or other assets to his holdings, according to the documents.
Since 2001, the trustees have written to Frist and the Senate 15 times detailing the sale of assets from or the contribution of assets to trusts of Frist and his family. The letters included notice of the addition of HCA shares worth $500,000 to $1 million in 2001 and HCA stock worth $750,000 to $1.5 million in 2002. The trust agreements require the trustees to inform Frist and the Senate whenever assets are added or sold.
The letters seem to undermine one of the major arguments the senator has used throughout his political career to rebut criticism of his ownership in HCA: that the stock was held in blind trusts beyond his control and that he had little idea of the extent of those holdings.

Building words is an exciting and empowering experience for young children (and frogs) who have mastered individual letters and their sounds. When young Tad wants to nominate his Dad for a "Best Dad" contest he asks his brother Leap and sister Lily for some help filling out the application. The three young frogs go see Professor Quigley at their Father''s Talking Word Factory for a little instruction and get to watch the "Sticky-ick-o-rama" and the "Word Whammer" machines at work. Tad quickly discovers that vowels act as the glue that sticks letters together and then learns to combine individual letter sounds to make three-letter words, use common ending sounds to create rhyming words, and blend letter sounds to make even longer rhyming words. Phonemic awareness, vocabulary building, and rhyming are entertaining and fun thanks to familiar Leap Pad characters, colorful animation, and short songs. An interactive word game challenges young viewers to fill in the missing first letter in a variety of three-letter words. This program is a great next step for graduates of Leap Frog: Talking Letters Factory and children ages 3 to 6. Tami Horiuchi
Have fun learning word building, rhyming, vocabulary and more! LeapFrog characters spring to life in this engaging and educational DVD. Leap, Lily and Tad journey into the Word Factory, where the Word Whammer, Sticky-Ick-O-Rama, and more amazing machines take letters and make them into words! Humorous songs and an out-of-control word machine add to the fun.

The Eparchy of St. John Chrysostom of Gurgaon of the Syro-Malankaras extends over the entire territory of North India, comprising 22 of the 29 States of the Country. The southern border of the circumscription includes the four central States: Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh and Orissa. Besides in these States, the faithful are diffusely present especially in Punjab, Haryana, Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan and West Bengal.
The See of the Eparchy is Gurgaon, near Delhi, because the faithful are mainly concentrated in Delhi metropolitan area, distributed in nine parishes. In the region there are two Colleges and ten schools run by the Syro-Malankara Church. 15 priests, eparchial and regular, and about 30 women religious offer their services in the pastoral, educational and charity works. The first Eparchial Bishop will have his residence and chancery atMar Ivanios Bhavan, Neb Sarai, New Delhi, where the Church of St. Mary is also situated and which will be the Cathedral.
The diocese of Hyderabad was established on September 1, 1886. Msgr. Peter Caprotti, PIME, became the first Bishop of Hyderabad. It was raised to the status of an Archdiocese on September 19, 1953. Bishop Mark Gopu became the first Archbishop.
Over the years many new dioceses were created from the original territory of the Archdiocese. In 1928 districts of Raichur and Gulbarga were detached to form the diocese of Bellary. Krishna and West Godavari districts were detached in 1937 for the erection of the diocese of Vijayawada. Diocese of Warangal was established in 1952 with the districts of Warangal, Khammam, Nalgonda and Karimnagar. In 1976 the new diocese of Nalgonda was formed with Mahabubnagar district of Hyderabad Archdiocese and Nalgonda district of Warangal diocese.
Marathi speaking areas of the Archdiocese were detached in 1978 to form the diocese of Aurangabad. Khammam was made a new diocese in February, 1988. On June 18, 1982 the district of Bidar was entrusted to the pastoral care of Mangalore diocese.
The Archdiocese with an area of 30,814 sq. kms. and with a total population of around 12.37 million, has about 87,541 Catholics. It has 107 diocesan and 116 Religious priests, 37 Brothers and 729 Religious Sisters are active in 72 parishes, including one parish of Malankara rite.
At present the Archdiocese has four districts of Andhra Pradesh - Hyderabad, Ranga Reddy, Medak and Nizamabad.
The new Diocese of Rayagada, bifurcated from the Diocese of Berhampur, in the State of Odisha, will comprise the civil districts of Kalahandi, Koraput, Malkangiri,Nabarangpur,Nuapada and Rayagada; it will be suffragan of the Archdiocese of Cuttack-Bhubaneswar.
Area of the territory of the new Diocese of Rayagada is 39,368.4 sq.km. with total population of 5,776,630,of which 61,827 is Catholic population. The Diocese has 30 Diocesan Priests, 12 Religious Priests, 104 Religious Sisters, 9 Major Seminarians, 270 Catechists,49 Parishes, 837 Mission Stations, 8 Religious Houses for Men(10 Congregations), 25 Religious Houses for Women (34 Congregations), 11 Primary Schools, 10 Middle Schools, 7 High Schools, 1 Hospital, 10 Dispensaries,2 Creches and 2 Homes for the Aged. The languages spoken are Oriya, Telugu, Hindi,English, Saura and Kui.
The Cathedral Church of the new Diocese, dedicated to Mary Queen of the Missions, will be located in the city of Rayagada.
Shimla-Chandigarh diocese has a long history. The Archdiocese of Shimla was created in 1910 when it was separated from the Archdiocese of Agra, the mother diocese of all North India. Very Rev. Fr Anselm E. J. Keneally, ofm cap., Superior General of the Friars minor Capuchins was appointed as the first Archbishop of this new Archdiocese, and he was consecrated in Rome on January 1, 1911. The church of St. Michael and St. Joseph in Shimla built in 1885 by Lord Ripon the Catholic Viceroy of India became the Cathedral of new Archdiocese. The century of history of this Archdiocese witnessed great changes and has been affected. by the changed political and ecclesiastical history of the country as a whole. The greatest of these was the partition and Independence of the country, which separated a large portion of the Vicariate of Punjab from our country to form the new diocese of Lahore in Pakistan. The realignment of the states, the creation of the new city of the Chandigarh and its Union Territory status have all influenced the history of the diocese and have had their effect in the structure and development of the diocese.
When the political capital of the country was shifted to Delhi the Catholic population was placed under the jurisdiction of the Diocese of Shimla thus becoming the Delhi - Shimla Archdiocese and the See shifting to Delhi. Archbishop Sylvester P. Mulligan was the first Archbishop of Delhi - Shimla Archdiocese, which comprised of the present states of Himachal Pradesh, Punjab, Haryana, Delhi and the Union - Territory. Archbishop Sylvester P. Mulligan was succeeded by Archbishop Joseph Alexander Fernandes. In 1959 the Archdiocese of Delhi - Shimla was dismembered to form Shimla as an independent diocese and thus beginning the history of current diocese with Bishop John Burke as its pastor. In the year 1966 Bishop John Burke was succeeded by Bishop Alfred Fernandes the Vicar General of Archdiocese of Hyderabad. He was transferred to the See of Allahabad in 1970.
The foundation of the new city of Chandigarh gave rise to a new concept of urban Punjab and the political and social life of people began to shift and centre around the new city. Even though the bishop kept Shimla as headquarters of the diocese, he was forced to remain in Chandigarh to be closer to the people and their lives till finally Bishop Gilbert B. Rego shifted the residence to Chandigarh and the diocese came to be, known as Shimla - Chandigarh diocese.
The present Diocese of Shimla - Chandigarh has a total area of 83,560 sq. kms. and is spread in the states of Himachal Pradesh, Punjab and Haryana. The Diocese of Shimla-Chandigarh consists .of the civil districts of Kinnaur, Lahaul-Spiti, Kullu, Mandi, Bilaspur, Shimla, Solan and Sirmour in Himachal Pradesh, Panchkula, Ambala, Yamunanagar, Kurukshetra, Karnal, Panipat, Kaithal, Jind, Hissar, Bhivani and Sirsa in Haryana state; Patiala, Sangrur, Mansa, Bhatinda, Fatehgarh Sahib and Ropar in Punjab state; and the Union Territory of Chandiqarh. This vast area accounts for a population of about 17,00,000 of which a mere 0.02% is Catholic that is about 13,500. There are pockets of other Christian denominations too. The area is the home of Sikhism and the other great religions of India. Hinduism and Islam still predominate the region making it a real mission land.
The Catholic community is itself a Kaleidoscopic picture of the variety of ethnic and cultural groups with independent linguistic identity, from different socio-economic background, yet united together in their faith in Christ around one pastor. Today the diocese has 30 parishes, 32 stations and the pastoral activities of these centers are taken care by 85 priests of the diocesan clergy and seven different religious congregations. The pastoral educational and social activities are shared by 22 other congregations of religious brothers and sisters spread in 39 communities.
With the appointment of Bishop Gerald John Mathias, the Diocese of Shimla -Chandigarh enters into a new phase of its history. May his leadership and guidance be blessed with abundance fruits in this far-flung vineyard of the Lord.
The District of North Arcot (here after called as Vellore District) with exclusion of the Arakkonam, Walajapet and Gudiyattam Taluks formed part of the Pondicherry Archdiocese upto 1928.

Little Joy - No One's Better Sake
You can clearly pick out The Strokes sound of multi-instrumentalist Fabrizio Moretti.Read more on Little Joy Listen to Little Joy on Spotify
Having established the song had nothing to do with preferring a certain type of Japanese rice wine, I was pleasantly surprised to hear an intro that sounded like a contemporary take on Toots And The Maytals' classic 'Monkey Man'. So much so that I had to go and listen to it straight after 'No One's Better Sake' had finished.
But back to the job in hand, and you can clearly pick out The Strokes sound of multi-instrumentalist Fabrizio Moretti, one third of Little Joy. I think more or less all of the aristocratic New Yorkers have done their solo thing in the past couple of years and clearly, the drummer doesn't want to feel left out. A good thing too, because this is a great addition to the pop spectrum, and would be a must-have in any compilation made for a barbecue, with its airy optimism and reggae leanings.

The symptoms of Down syndrome vary from person to person, and people with Down syndrome may have different problems at different times of their lives.
Common physical signs of Down syndrome include1,2:
In addition, physical development in children with Down syndrome is often slower than development of children without Down syndrome. For example, because of poor muscle tone, a child with Down syndrome may be slow to learn to turn over, sit, stand, and walk. Despite these delays, children with Down syndrome can learn to participate in physical exercise activities like other children.3 It may take children with Down syndrome longer than other children to reach developmental milestones, but they will eventually meet many of these milestones.2
Cognitive impairment, problems with thinking and learning, is common in people with Down syndrome and usually ranges from mild to moderate. Only rarely is Down syndrome associated with severe cognitive impairment.1
Other common cognitive and behavioral problems may include1,2,3,4:
Most children with Down syndrome develop the communication skills they need, although it might take longer for them to do so compared with other children. Early, ongoing speech and language interventions to encourage expressive language and improve speech are particularly helpful.5
Parents and families of children with Down syndrome can connect with other families and people with Down syndrome from around the world to learn more and share information. The NICHD-led DS-Connect® is a safe and secure registry to help families and researchers identify similarities and differences in the physical and developmental symptoms and milestones of people with Down syndrome and guide future research. Learn more about
DS-Connect®: The Down Syndrome Registry.
People with Down syndrome are at increased risk for a range of other health conditions, including autism spectrum disorders, problems with hormones and glands, hearing loss, vision problems, and heart abnormalities.1 Learn more about these other conditions in the
What conditions or disorders are commonly associated with Down syndrome? section.

/// New Myspace Owners Set to Finally Unveil Their Strategy Today
Specific Media plans to finally describe its plans for former social Web star Myspace as part of Advertising Week in New York on Monday. But instead of a press conference or a product launch, the company will be addressing "CMOs and senior marketers" to tell them about advertising opportunities and show off Justin Timberlake. When Specific Media bought Myspace in June for $35 million and said it had wrangled Timberlake as an investor , the company pre-announced a press conference for August 17. (Kara Swisher had labeled the Timberlake bit as "stunt casting," which is to say, "the worrisome look-at-the-shiny-celebrity approach.") That press conference date was soon postponed, as the new owners' progress on Myspace was more "incremental" than transformative, according to the Wall Street Journal . And last week, Specific laid off a small percentage of its staff, as reported by TechCrunch . In an emailed statement, Specific Media COO Chris Vanderhook described the layoffs as part of a streamlining process that reflected "big progress made toward achieving our goals." As for tonight's "Future of Myspace Talk," Timberlake is set to appear — or at least someone named "Justin" is — according to an agenda sent to us by Myspace PR and printed below

We have made it a tradition to take her to Opryland for her visit with Santa. It's such a great place to spend the day.ReplyDelete
I would love to see Opry Land at Christmas. I think it is the most beautiful hotel.
Aw! Merry Christmas to you and Merry First Christmas to Caroline!ReplyDelete

My Mom went to the Opryland Hotel a few years ago and was raving about how beautiful it was. I bet it is truly a sight during the holiday's.
That Santa pic might just be the cutest EVER!!!
What a great Santa photo, and great picture eating the sugar cookie. Love. I've stayed at the Opryland Hotel a few times--and love it--aside from the fact that it's so easy to get turned around it :) Happy Thursday. oxoReplyDelete

Portland Police Union HQ attacked
March 31, 2010
PORTLAND, Ore. — Someone vandalized the Portland Police union headquarters doing thousands of dollars in damage early Tuesday.
Spokesman Scott Westerman said just before 1 a.m., bricks and rocks were thrown through their windows, doing about $20,000 worth of damage to the outside of the building.
Eight people were arrested and three officers were injured Monday night when protesters clashed with police in downtown Portland in a rally against two recent officer-involved shootings. DETAILS: Police protests
Westerman said computers and other items were damaged inside the office.
No suspects have been named in the case.

More thoughts from California: Anti-Capital Projects
Like any number of urban freeways, the I-980 and I-880 are lines of containment. They mark out the zones and boundaries of economic apartheid, making West Oakland into an island of poverty, a police zone, boxed in on all sides. A freeway, in this sense, is merely one of the most visible forms of the lines of force that cut up our cities and, in turn, our lives, that butcher them according to the logics of race and class, money and property. How can we see these arteries as anything less than instruments for the formation of a controlled population, instruments in the successive waves of urban centralization, white flight, gentrification? They are checkpoints and blockages – massive pours of concrete, of labor, erected to determine who gets to go where and how. And they have no meaning beyond the insinuation of the automobile into every facet of our lives, the automobile which is hallmark of US economic power in the 20th century, token of class mobility, passageway to pseudo-freedom, emitter of poison gases, turning our lives into a cut-and-paste of frantic alienation and isolation, responsible for more deaths than the M-16. Who could love a freeway?

Black Sabbath Reunite for New Album and World Tour!
All four original members of metal pioneers Black Sabbath—Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler, and Bill Ward—have just announced that they have reunited for their first new album in 33 years. The group is halfway through writing the record, which will be produced by Rick Rubin (Metallica, Slayer, Slipknot), and will go into the studio early next year. A release date has yet to be announced. The bandmates will also be heading out on a worldwide tour, including a performing at the U.K.'s Download Festival in June. The group held a press conference today, hosted by Henry Rollins, to announce the news at the famed Whisky a Go-Go in Los Angeles, the site of the band's first appearance in the city 41 years ago.
