Paris: British rock singer Robert Palmer died today of heart attack. Known for his hits "Work to make it Work", "Addicted to Love", and "Simply Irresistable", Palmer was 54.
His first hit album and single hit the charts thirty years ago ("Sneakin' Sally through the Alley"), and more recently, his "Addicted to Love" video, with miniskirted models strumming guitars, was an all-time favorite MTV clip, drawing mucho grumbing from the feminists.
Of late a resident of Switzerland, in recent weeks Palmer had been working on a video in Britain. Always appearing in stylish suits, Palmer showed a sense of class remarkably absent from the dirty-boy image cultivated by lotso musicians who never rocked half as hard. Palmer was named 'Best Dressed Male Artist' in 1990 by Rolling Stone magazine.
"I loved the music," Palmer reported, "but the excesses of rock 'n' roll never really appealed to me at all. I couldn't see the point of getting up in front of a lot of people when you weren't in control of your wits."
Palmer wrote some great songs. Often these hit the charts more forcefully when recorded by other artists, such as Rod Stewart, but Palmer's records rock you unmercifully. Other than being a fan, I know little about him, except perhaps what kind of girl he finds 'Simply Irresistable'. In the video, a slender girl in a black dress dances to the music with a completely deadpan expression. In this video, she's been multiplied to look like many, many swaying mannekins.
I'll miss Robert Palmer. I wish he'd stayed. And now I will never find out the answer to my question. In 'Simply Irresistable', he sings:
"She's so fine; there's no telling where the money went."
What the hell does that mean?

Powerful tools that grow with you
Sometimes powerful tools require a lot of learning, often before you can do anything with them. There are some exceptions however, tools that provide almost immediate usefulness and just keep on giving the more you learn about them.
A relatively short post this one, provoked by thinking about learning-curves and some technologies I have found easiest to stick with and grow with. In software, especially open-source, there are always choices, always alternatives. Often competing solutions have vocal advocates.
Amongst all the competition a few stand out, especially when adopting a new approach or workflow. You have been there before, "Use XYZ, it will make your life so much easier!". After hours and hours of trying to get your head around XYZ you reach that point: 'Perhaps I should have tried ABC maybe I would have been productive again by now?" or just "!*&# it!!, gonna carry on doing things the old way."
There are some tools that start of easy and pay almost immediately returns, but eventually let you down as you grow with them.
And then you find a Gem, a tool that starts off being almost immediately useful, and then just keeps on growing with you as you keep using and learning it.
A couple of personal examples follow.
Having used source control in various different (and slightly improving over the years) guises for many years, when Git came along it was like a breath of fresh air. The absolutely great thing about Git is that if you introduce it to someone who doesn't use source control you can quickly demonstrate benefits. Starting locally (something you could do with most prior systems) a few of the simpler commands can make it easier to back out of problems or see what has changed. The more discipline they use the more they are rewarded.
Git just keeps on going however, as you start working in teams, more complicate workflow etc. there is always something more useful to learn.
I had courted provisioning tools in the past, and had spent some time using Puppet particularly in provisioning virtual machines. To be honest I didn't get on too well with Puppet, the benefits were evident but it was a hard slog, tricky to learn etc.
Then I tried Ansible. I am still a little early on my Ansible journey but the winning moment was when I found I didn't HAVE to install anything special on the target machine, after setting up a few ssh keys within an hour I already had a win, running commands consistently against eleven servers. I have progressed enough since then to see it will just keep on giving.
The conclusions to this observation are pretty personal, firstly if you want me to use/learn something new, I really hope it meets the criteria outlined.
Secondly if I have to teach/encourage someone to adopt something, I have a much easier time with this kind of tool.

Keeping online transactions safe is something that we must all strive to do. I am trying to do better with using strong passwords, that will doesn't keep someone from repeatedly trying to guess your password. The downside to this is that you may experience a periodic disabling of one or more of your accounts. I had that occur with both my Paypal and eBay accounts a while back. That one of the things that got me looking at SoftTokens. While it can be seen as an additional hassle during the login process, it does add one more layer of security. While it may not keep someone from getting into one of my accounts, I dont have to make it easy for them.
These are just a few of the "soft tokens" available on the iTunes store. I keep an assortment of them handy as I never know where I may be that having one at the ready may be useful. Of all the the ones listed, I use the Symantec VeriSign VIP Access the most. Since I have accounts on both Ebay and Paypal, I have VIP Access configured for both of them. This adds another layer of security for your login. Something to keep in mind is to keep track of the Credential ID identifier. The identifier is what uniquely identifies this particular token. One of the upgrades that occurred recently changed the this value and locked me out of the accounts that it was configured for. Had to call both of them and get the value change and then go through the reinitialization sequence to get working again. The lesson that process taught me was that I need to make sure that I have my information that verifies who I am and how to reach me current on those accounts especially to make the process of getting a new token associated with the account as painless as possible.
You will see quite a few SoftTokens available for download from the iTunes store. I usually keep an assortment of these present on my iPhone just in case they may be needed. It can also show a prospective employer or vendor that you are ready for just about any type of access control they may have in use. These are just a few of the ones available for download –

Best Price Solar Panels – Best quality Solar panels use the sun to produce electricity but are typically unaware as to which panels they need to have to produce the quantity of electricity they need. We'll take a brief appear at how to make a decision which solar panels are correct for the project for which they're needed. Solar panels function utilizing the photovoltaic impact, which is why they're typically referred to as PV panels.
This was progressively enhanced to the point exactly where, nowadays, solar power panels are built that produces amount of electricity. These cells are wired together to create a solar panel, numerous of which are combined to create an array to produce adequate electricity to power appliances and electronics. There are 3 kinds of residential solar panels currently available on the commercial industry – mono-crystalline, polycrystalline and amorphous.
Best Price for Solar Panels in Brisbane
Each and every is its advantages and disadvantages. Mono-crystalline cells are made from single-crystal silicon and are the most efficient panels, but also the most high-priced. Polycrystalline cells are created using grain of single-crystal rubber and are more affordable than mono- but also less effective. Amorphous cells are created by placing non-crystalline rubber on areas such as metal or plastic. These are the most affordable but also the least effective.
Select Best Price Solar Brisbane – There are a number of factors engaged in deciding which best quality solar panels to purchase. A lot will depend on your spending budget and the size of the technique you require to fulfill your electrical wants. Also, the amount of area you have available on which to install the panels will be a main aspect.
Even though two panels might be the same size, they might generate different quantities of power, based on the age, type and best quality solar panels Australia used to create the cells. More recent panels could be the very same dimension as older panels but, due to advances in the technology innovation applied, will possibly be far more effective.
So, what's the best requirement to use to make a decision which panels to acquire? Probably the best evaluate is the cost per watts, and for the best value you'd want to be spending around $four per watts. So, if you're buying a 100 watts component (an extra phrase for panel) and spending about $400, you are actually in the appropriate area. However, if area for your system isn't an issue, you'd be higher off selecting up best quality solar panels designed using mature technological innovation if they are more affordable and fit your requirements. They'll do the job just as perfectly, preserving you earnings but getting up much more area.
Australia solar panels are the most high-priced part of a PV technique, it really is essential that you know what you are actually purchasing and how considerably you should predict to invest. Hopefully, you are going to be in a better place to do so with the information you've learned from this review and will experience like you now know how to buy Best Price Solar Panels.

Mark Ruffalo 'fesses up to something we can all relate to
While most of us have no problem admitting that we have a slight fear of flying or a chronic fear of checking our bank accounts after a blurry night on the tiles, there are some fears we all harbour, but for some reason keep to ourselves.
Well, no more! Not if Mark Ruffalo has anything to do with it anyway.
Speaking up for little people everywhere, the Foxcatcher star 'fessed up to his biggest phobia on the latest episode of The Graham Norton Show and while we didn't expect it, we can certainly relate to it.
Admitting that his phobia stems from the unusual antics of neighbourhood kids, the Now You See Me actor didn't hold back when explaining how scared he gets at the prospect of it happening again.
Check out this hilarious, albeit totally legitimate confession.

NBA All-Star Game And Oscars Share Similar Problem: Predictability
Let's say your goofy-looking, street-balling friend who bears a striking similarity to Cindy Brady made a hook shot from halfcourt to get you a spot on Jeopardy!. And let's say, after thoroughly destroying the competition with your knowledge of foods that start with the letter "Q", your confidence allows you to bet all your winnings on the Final Jeopardy category: February Television.
You're smiling and brimming with confidence until you finally hear our favourite Canadian Alex Trebek read the answer: This Sunday in February used to be highly regarded as must-see television, but has been on a steady decline and has finally reached the point that it is so predictable that it is nearly unwatchable.

Title : ACTION OF PYRIDINE-2-ALDOXIME METHOCHLORIDE (PAM) ON NEUROMUSCULAR TRANSMISSION IN VITRO AND IN VIVO,
Corporate Author : MONTREAL UNIV (QUEBEC) FACULTE DE PHARMACIE
Personal Author(s) : Goyer,G. Robert
Report Date : 18 OCT 1967
Pagination or Media Count : 9
Abstract : The action of pyridine-2-aldoxime methochloride (PAM) was evaluated on nerve-muscle preparations in vitro and in situ. On the isolated diaphragm of the rat, PAM shows a d-tubocurarine-like effect at concentrations higher than 6 mM. No facilitating effects were observed with lower concentrations, even when the acetylcholinesterases were inhibited to an important extent. However, the biphasic actions of PAM could be demonstrated with nerve-muscle preparations of the rat and rabbit in situ: lower concentrations produced fasciculations and twitch potentiation whereas a depressing d-tubocurarine-like effect was obtained with higher doses. The decrease in the amplitude of contraction appears to be related to an action at the myoneural junction rather than a direct toxic action on the muscle fibers themselves. (Author)

Hiding out in the dark and foreboding labyrinthine secret tunnels that run under the palace complex, Cleopatra is confronted with perilous challenges her life as a princess has not prepared her for.
A strange and frightening sorceress who seems to haunt the tunnels below the palace appears to her, bringing mystical warnings, clues and prophecies.

Girl On A Bicycle, The Kathleen Kennedy Story - Telefilm
Written by David Butler, 'Girl on a Bicycle' is the untold story
of Kathleen, favourite daughter of Senator Joe Kennedy.
Her doomed romance with Billy Hartington, the dashing young protestant
aristocrat and heir to the largest estate in Great Britain. Surrounded
by glamour and extreme wealth, it was the courageousness of her
decision to follow her heart, rather than her upbringing and society
protocol that won the day. Set against a time when private lives
and human passions were dominated by the force of external events.
telefim has the potential to be an 'event' type show, with a very
starry cast - there are lots of wonderful co-starring roles, as
well as the three young attractive leads.
Cooking? - Television Series
film 'What's Cooking?' distributed by Lionsgate Entertainment
is now the launching pad for the television series.
the movie, we examined families just like your own - three generations
coping with each other, and the trauma of a major American holiday.
They all had different cultural perspectives but ALL were very
American, very familiar, and non-PC. It was also a look at how
families are changing and taking new shape.
the series being developed by a major American cable television
company we follow the every day lives of women, who not only run
a home and family, but also have a job.
move from the home to the work place and back again,examining
Los Angels as it really is, an opportunity to see truthful side
of the city of angels - four families with women very much at
the helm. This is the engine that drives our story.
Private View
- Feature Film
Peter Nichols is one of England's most distinguished writers for
both stage and screen. His credits include 'National health',
'A Day In The Death Of Joe Egg', and 'Georgie Girl'.
Based on his stage hit in both London and Broadway, 'Private View'
is about a married couple and their fantasy alter egos and how
they survive brushes with infidelity. It's a savage view
of marriage and adultery in all its permutations and complications.
It's also very funny, similar in tone to the highly successful
film 'American Beauty' and we believe the quality of the finished
screenplay together with Peter Nichols' name, will attract some
rather special talent to the film.
Great Svengali - Theatre
play with music, and based on the tale of Svengali and Trilby,
'The Great Svengali' takes place at a newly renovated Ramada Inn,
Annex Lounge, Bar and Grill, downtown USA. The Book, music and
lyrics are by Bradford Craig.
Marvin is a middle-aged and bitter wanna-be-singer. He is billed
as 'The Great Svengali'. Each night while performing his act,
he hypnotises volunteers from the lounge show audience (the actual
theatre audience) where he claims to be able to take away your
troubles, bad habits and/or phobias.
the audience comes Candi an attractive nineteen year old, who
believes she cannot sing a note. By the end of the evening however,
Marvin has convinced both her and the entire audience that she
has a voice that will thrill all who are lucky enough to hear

The article is not just talking about Facebook. There is a long list of other companies who are going elsewhere because of there is no space in Palo Alto.
Is this a problem with the city government not approving enough building permits? Or is kicking these companies out of town good for the city? More jobs does mean more traffic, more demand for housing, more customers for local businesses, etc.

Snips and snails and puppy dog tails are supposed to be what little boys are made of. However, now it appears we girls are made of snips also!
Just when I had decided I am not appropriate for 'lamp stuff' (lampalizumab) because I do not have the complement factor I (CFI) at risk allele, Lin informed me the snips ArcticDX tested for are not the same ones as in the study! I may be saying I don't qualify because I don't have 'fruit' but Arctic tested for oranges and the researchers tested for apples. Apparently all 'fruit' was not created equal. My CFI test that was fine may not really have tested what should have been tested if I want to make a decision about the study. I am so confused! [Sue talks about CFI & lampalizumab in pages I Want to Be a Mutant and I Am Not a Mutant.]
So what in Hades am I talking about? See above. The part about being confused. Let us delve further into this mystery.
A snip is actually SNP (it is pronounced snip). That is a Single Nucleotide Polymorphism. SNPs are tiny, little parts of genes. They are a variation in the spelling of our genetic code. Clear as mud, right?
Let us try again. The alphabet of genetics is made up of four letters: A, C, G,and T. Each of them is a nucleotide. Vary the order of the nucleotides on an allele and you can get any one of a variety of characteristics being expressed. Life in all of its diversity is written with a four- letter alphabet.
Sometimes Nature doesn't spell too well. Sometimes she gets sloppy and copies a C for an A or whatever. These spelling errors do not cause disease but they can affect how the cell will function. They can also predict a response to certain drugs.
Spelling errors or SNPs are very common. According to my source, the Genetics Home Reference again, any one of us can happily harbor 10 million SNPs. However, even with that number of errors, Mom Nature still earns top grades in spelling. 10 million letters in error is a drop in the bucket when you consider how many letters were written for each of us.
We have gone from chromosomes to genes to alleles to SNPs. We are getting smaller and more specific as we go. Pages to paragraphs to words to letters. The SNPs are letters in error in the book of Life. Apparently the genetic testing I had found no spelling errors at the top of a paragraph while the researchers found spelling errors at the bottom of the paragraph. These bottom of the paragraph spelling errors caused the fantastic response to 'lamp stuff'.
Looking at the perfect spelling of words at the top of the paragraph cannot tell me if I harbor those magic mistakes at the bottom. I am back to where I was. Indecisive as to what to do once again.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Computer Games and General Discussion' started by wchill, Jan 27, 2010.
Facebook is an annoying piece of shit. So I made the following.
eh whats this do?
Basically stealth blocks Facebook and makes it redirect to Google.
Facebook will got to Google
Okay I'm so lazy I want to integrate the hosts.old part of it into the main program.
Seems like an unnecessary amount of script to simply change the host file.
I use it with a shortcut to quickly switch between protected and unprotected. heheh.
Sure, the script is a bit much, but
1. it works
2. it has a password (prevents pea sea newbs from accessing)
They could just edit the script, make their own, or edit the file manually.
If they know enough to try and run your script, they know enough to do one or all of the above.
They don't know enough to try and run my script. The password is just an extra security measure.
So all of this to make facebook re-direct to google? seems like a hassle and a waste of time
It's evil enough for the application I have in mind
Good lord. So this is supposed to be a 'hax'. Whatever.
You do not need to reboot after modifying the hosts file (at least XP up to Windows 7). Edit: you don't even need the flushdns, because the hosts file is queried before cached DNS entries.
I know a faster and simple way.
Warning: Spoilers inside!
Don't go on Facebook...
Case in point.
Well it's not to stop me, it's to stop someone else who obsesses with it constantly.
And no Strider, it's not a 'hax'. It's a lazy way of blocking/unblocking access to Facebook on my laptop.
Wait now that i think about it.. i remember this scheme from somewhere...because i remember someone here saying that a family member or friend kept using facebook and they wanted to block it without them knowing how to turn it back on or sumthin
Far better to modify DNS entries from the router itself, if you have that option. That way it'll effect all computers on the network and not just the one.

My previous post was almost a year ago, at the end of Yom Kippur. Here I am in the same spot, just breaking the fast and blogging.
I had a unique experience during these high holidays: I did not need the services very much. I have been on my own path of taking stock of my life, reflecting, and figuring out where I am in life. This seemed to satisfy my soul's need for reflection, as I found no satisfaction sitting in services during these holidays so far.
It's funny how experiences can change from year to year; I wondered if this is what many other Jews experience - the ebb and flow of services feeding some part of them and then not.
In spite of this, the holidays themselves have been meaningful so far...in particular, visiting the mikeveh before RH was fantastic.
Looking forward to Sukkot. Shavua Tov, everyone.

Please join us and thousands as we check out the OC Marathon! Don't miss the Beach Cities Challenge! -- Run three consecutive races (Surf City Marathon, OC Marathon and Long Beach International City Bank Marathon) and receive a cool medal and other opportunities to be announced soon.
This 2011 Full Marathon Course starts on Newport Center Drive loop in front of our Official Start Line Hotel, the Newport Beach Marriott Hotel & Spa just south of Santa Barbara Drive and travels through the beautiful coastal communities of Newport Beach, Costa Mesa and Santa Ana. The start time for the Full Marathon is 6:00 a.m.
The first mile of the Marathon course includes a breathtaking panorama of the Pacific Ocean before winding through the seaside village of Corona del Mar including the spectacular Ocean Blvd. with cliff side views of Big Corona del Mar State Beach. It traverses down Bayside Drive, past the Newport Harbor Yacht Clubs and homes and boats of Newport Harbor. Exceptional views await runners at the bluffs overlooking the Upper Newport Bay Estuary Reserve as are the supportive cheers of neighborhood residents. Marathoners continue into the heart of Orange County, Costa Mesa, passing by the Segerstrom Center for the Arts, South Coast Plaza, traveling into Santa Ana and onto the Santa Ana River Trail by Moon Park and exiting at Fairview Park on the home stretch towards the OC Fair & Event Center.
The Full Marathon course is net downhill in elevation from start to finish. The first 6.5 miles will be extremely fast with only minor inclines. Mile 6.5 to 7.0 is the only significant hill on the course taking the runners from 15 feet to 75 feet. The course is flat through mile 10.5 and easy rolling hills to 11.5. There is another 45' incline at mile 14.5 over the 405 overpass and a 40' incline slightly over 1/4 of a mile in length at mile 23 after leaving Fairview Park. These are all relatively small hills.
Water Stations: Water will be available at miles 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8.5, 9.5, 10.5, 11.5, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 23, 24, and 25.
Energy Drink: Gatorade® will be available at miles 4, 6, 7, 9.5, 11.5, 14, 15, 17, 19, 21, and 24.
Medical Aid Stations: Medical aid will be available at miles 6, 11.5, 14, 19, and 23.
KOOL 'N FIT Spray Station: We had such great reviews, we hope to have them return for year 3. We'll keep you posted!
Energy Gel - Clif Bar Energy Shots will be available at two locations TBD.
This Full Marathon starts at one location and finishes at another location. Shuttle Maps can be viewed here.
Start Lines: When available, all 2011 Start Line maps, parking lots and other details can be found on our Parking/Directions Page.
Finish Line: When available, all 2011 Finsh Line maps, parking lots and other details can be found on our Parking/Directions Page.
The Full Marathon will Finish at the OC Fair and Event Center. After crossing the Finish Line, participants will enter the secure runners' area and receive their medal. As finishers continue through the secure area they will come to the Post Food & Fluid (PF&F) area. New for 2011: A dedicated Marathon Participant PF&F will be available to ensure all the great replenishment is available for all our Marathon participants. Once runners exit this area, they will not be allowed to return.
The on course time limit is 7 hours for the Full Marathon. Please note that the course will have a rolling re-opening that will be strictly enforced by the Newport Beach, Costa Mesa, Santa Ana and Irvine Police Departments. Roads must reopen based on a 16 minute per mile pace. Any participants arriving at an intersection after the 16 minute pace may be required to use the pedestrian pathways and observe all pedestrian laws. After reopening, course markings, police services, portable restrooms, water stations may be removed from the course.
There is no specific Family Reunion Area, however, there will the OC Marathon Finish Festival with entertainment, food and drink in the Main Festival Fields west of Buildings 10 and 12. We recommended that participants discuss a reunion plan with family and friends prior to the race. A detailed Finish Line Map will be posted here when available to scout possible meeting locations.
Additional viewing areas for spectators will be posted here when available.

Motorola DROID X vs. Apple iPhone 4
We've gone extensively over the swift experience we get out of iOS 4 on the iPhone 4 on previous comparisons as it's being powered by Apple's A4 processor which is presumably clocked in at 1GHz. The learning curve on the iPhone 4 is very low as the platform is straightforward and simplistic – which definitely adds to its mass appeal over the competition. Applications load quickly with barely any evidence of lag being witnessed – even when there are multi-tasking enabled apps running simultaneously. However, the same could be said with the Motorola DROID X's performance while currently running Android 2.1. It's powered by 1GHz OMAP 3630 processor which makes everything fly in a heart beat – making it one of the peppiest Android handsets out there for the US market. Although there might be a steep learning curve for new users, the level of personalization on the DROID X is far more significant than what can be accomplished on the iPhone 4. The customized look and feel on the DROID X will undoubtedly attract users who prefer to visually see a variety of information, like weather and social networking statuses, which is non-existent on the iPhone 4 – unless you launch individual apps. If there's one common ground that both handsets fall under, it has to be the fact that they both run extremely fast with rare instances of slowdown.
If you like to be kept up with all the latest happenings without having to lose focus on what you're doing on the handset, you'll probably like the DROID X better as Android's notification system is superior to what iOS 4 provides. On the iPhone 4, you'll know that something is being received, like an email for example, by specific notification tones.
The Motorola DROID X's interface is more fitting for social networking aficionados as it's able to aggregate a myriad of information discretely surrounding your social networking accounts. From Twitter to Facebook, everything is presented to you in a singular hub on the DROID X, while on the iPhone 4 you'll have to run each app separately. However, we find the Facebook app on the iPhone 4 to be well integrated to some of the native apps on the phone – which makes the experience feel a bit more fine tuned around the edges versus the Android app.
People love watching YouTube, and that's the reason why the Motorola DROID X shines in this regard seeing that it offers users an app that follows closely to what you experience on a desktop. There are a wealth of sub-menus and options to get you down to all the various aspects we love about YouTube. Additionally you can turn on high quality video streams on the Motorola DROID X through any kind of data connection as opposed to the iPhone 4's requirement of connecting to Wi-Fi to experience higher quality videos. Plus, the larger display found on the DROID X makes watching videos such a joy over the iPhone 4, but both are still fitting in this category for just about any user.
The iPhone 4's included front facing camera does offer some people the option of doing video chat via FaceTime which can be seen as a novelty thing right now. Unfortunately, you can only do one-way video chat on the Motorola DROID X through Fring. The quality we experienced with FaceTime was far superior to Fring on the DROID X as voices were more clear and in-sync.
There's no arguing that Android's Google Maps experience is far more in-depth to anything else out there – even on the iPhone 4. Not only can you use turn-by-turn directions to specific locations, but it aptly integrates some of Google's popular services – like Buzz and Latitude. Unfortunately the iPhone 4 still offers the same exact experience that we have witnessed on the previous versions.
Thanks to the swift performance of the platforms on both smartphones, typing messages is a breeze due to the responsive on-screen keyboards they offer. The iPhone 4 still stands as having one of the best predictable text options as it just knows what you're trying to type out, but the roomy space on the DROID X makes for less typos. When using the landscape option, we found ourselves easily typing away on the DROID X with few to almost no mistakes being made. Still, we found the iPhone 4 to also excel in this area despite its smaller size – which should only pose to be a problem to individuals with larger sized fingers.
Last, but not least, we should not overlook the overwhelming number of applications that's present in the Apple App Store. And not just their number, but quality too, as it is obvious that iPhone users currently have a lot more entertainment at their fingertips than Android ones.

Droid X = Big & Ugly iPhone 4 = Pretty & Fragile Either is a good choice though.

It looks better than the iPhone

whats so good about iphone? personally, 3gs looks better anyway! but droid x is better than both :)

My problem is I don't see a comparison between galaxy S and others. Is it because you are waiting for US versions, if so then fine, but if not then phonearena is really beginning to get on my nerves
4. RonRex (Posts: 3; Member since: 04 Jun 2010)
Maybe the X is coming after the IPad? It may seem large, but it is maybe a way for Att users to see even though Verizon does not have the Iphone, they do have a very viable option on a much better network?

You have the audacity to call this a review and not once do you mention the iPhone's purported issues regarding antenna performance. Not once. What you failed to mention are a multitude of reports suggesting the iPhone 4 has a faulty antenna design and how this might relate to the significant drop in signal caused by capacitive interference (human touch) at the junction between the two antennas that comprise its antenna system. Although the external antenna system used in the iPhone 4 may be prone to said interference, it is the particular design whereby this gap or junction is in close proximity to the heaviest part of the left palm during normal use. Some test have shown this to result in a -24dB drop in signal strength (http://www.anandtech.com/show/
3794/the-iphone-4-review/2). In my opinion, this capacitive interference couples the antenna system thereby detuning the 2G/3G portion. In parallel, energy is also lost into the hand given the proximity of the EXTERNAL antenna system during normal use (gripping by hand) If you happen to live in an area where the signal strength is less than -94dB and you then hold the phone normally in the left hand, the call can be dropped as the signal drops below -113dB. This was reported by Anandtech, which observed a -20dB impact due to hand interference [-24dB when held tightly]. Whether -94dB resides within the fourth bar (currently) or is "programmed" down to the 3rd (or 2nd or even 1st) bar is a moot point. The only likely way around this for the iPhone 4, IMO, is with the rubber case/bumper. This serves to further separate the hand from the phone during normal use. Just my opinion.

not to mention the errors in the signal presentation, yellow spots on the screen, yellow tinted pictures, and melting ports. lol
37. Mightymack (Posts: 74; Member since: 16 Jul 2010)
YES! i say the same thing after every iphone comparison!
54. The iPad` (unregistered)
Not once did you mention that Apple held a conference and showed that only .5% of the users called in or had it reported in. That is probably all the users that had it to. Not once did you mention that the problem can be easily handled by slipping a case on the phone. Not once did you mention you can send the phone back to Apple, get another for free and get a case for free. Not once did you mention that most of the owners of an iPhone 4 don't experience this problem, only the people searching for it and even those that do don't experience most of the time.

The Droid x shoots video at 30 fps not 23 fps. Specs at motorola.com
11. PhoneArena Team (Posts: 258; Member since: 27 Jun 2006)
products/droidx/At HD 1280x720 the DROID X records at 24fps. You have to drop it down to 720x480 resolution to record at 30fps.
53. unregistered user (unregistered)
Blurays also play at 24 fps.... only a fanboy would tell you that 30 fps is "better".
8. narley (Posts: 357; Member since: 14 May 2009)
-Funny how you can do flash, swype keyboard, hd recording, hdmi output.. but none of those things are seen as a benefit. -But every review some moron talks about a front facing camera that is probably never used... and needs WIFI. -And as above stated no mention of the fact that iphone has faulty antenna and signal glitches. -Also no benefit in how much larger the screen is on the DROIDX. -No benefit in the double microphone noise cancellation setup that works flawlessly on the DROIDX. *Phone arena, keeping the trendy trendy, and the uneducated making ignorant decisions since the orig iphone.

I agree, I was excited for an iPhone4 vs. Droid X review and after reading the review all I can say is I want those five minutes of my life back.
27. applesr4eating (Posts: 32; Member since: 01 Jul 2010)
Just like most other phone bloggers PA is afraid to go against "common wisdom" and report the truth.
33. E.N. (Posts: 2610; Member since: 25 Jan 2009)
You guys are babies. Flash is not available until 2.2 and swype is not going to be a dealbreaker for anyone. HD recording is better on iPhone, and HDMI was mentioned in the review. Maybe it's just me but I didn't know that the iphone could do hdmi with proprietary cable. And in the end, I still don't care about HDMI. -FaceTime is only available on wifi but fring can be used on 3G. -they did mention many benefits of having a larger screen (did you even read the review or watch the video?) -the iphone has noise cancellation also -How many times do you guys have to read about the issues. It's been on every phone website, on the front page of websites like Yahoo/MSN, newspapers, TV, etc. On the HTC Evo review I don't remember there being talks about the light leakage issue. You guys just cry and cry and cry. If you look in other websites, I'm pretty sure the review is going to be almost the same. I guess every phone website just freaking hates the Droid X, right? Haha
34. BlackSirius16 (Posts: 84; Member since: 21 May 2010)
really? thats funny, I found much better reviews on youtube, and as for the light leakage issue on the evo, are your fucking seriously comparing that the the grip of death on the iPhone 4? holy shit omg I'm sure that when people got their brand new evo they started screaming, "Oh god jesus in heaven, theirs a small amount of light from the buttons leaking onto the bottom of my screen, its really a fucking deal breaker" holy smokey cinimon shit I;ve never heard something more stupid in my entire life christ your stupid. and as for flash, whens your iPhone gunna get it? yeah thought so retard. And I'd say that the hd recording on the iPhone has slightly better color capture but thats it, while the audio is so superior that its unbelievable. go fuck yourself fanboy troll bitch
38. Mightymack (Posts: 74; Member since: 16 Jul 2010)
i dont think that i can agree any more strongly! front facing camera is not all that! and if it is, then the evo can definatly beat the iphone!
39. Mightymack (Posts: 74; Member since: 16 Jul 2010)
i sense jelousy!
45. E.N. (Posts: 2610; Member since: 25 Jan 2009)
I sense confusion!
10. adilly (Posts: 1; Member since: 12 Jul 2010)
Wow why do people visit this site if they hate it so much? I think the real question is rather or not the iphone is worth leaving Verizon for. At&t is just such a juxtaposition to apples core philosophy. Apple strives to be innovative and proactive in solving customer issues and relations, where as At&t is exactly the opposite. If you've ever had to deal with an at&t customer service rep you know that most of them are incompetent morons. The iphone is a great device, but it is limited by a sub par carrier who is only interested in making money and not furthering their customers experience.
12. cc16177 (Posts: 312; Member since: 09 May 2010)
"Apple strives to be innovative and proactive in solving customer issues and relations, where as At&t is exactly the opposite." SJ - "There is no reception issue. Hold your phone correctly." Need I say more? Both Apple and At&t apparently do not do a very good job when it comes to CS.
19. narley (Posts: 357; Member since: 14 May 2009)
umm... how do you say.....???? BURN?
14. BlackSirius16 (Posts: 84; Member since: 21 May 2010)
I mean yeah, its a totally matter of opinion. Some people like phones that work well, and some people like phones that don't work at all but look real shiny.

15. cellstudent (Posts: 10; Member since: 21 Feb 2009)
I must say I'm disappointed with the analysis of the on screen keyboard. Why is the image of the iPhone keyboard LARGER than the image of the DROID X keyboard when the iPhone clearly has a much smaller display. You're making it look like screen real estate is less of a differentiator. Take a few side-by-side photographs of the keyboard and post them rather then the doctored up screen captures you're misleading everyone with!
18. PhoneArena Team (Posts: 258; Member since: 27 Jun 2006)
The size of the screenshots depends on the screen resolution, not the physical dimensions of the display. Motorola DROID X = 4.3" but 480x800 pixels resolution; Apple iPhone 4 = 3.5" but 640x960 pixels resolution, thus the image comes out larger once you view it on a computer.
20. narley (Posts: 357; Member since: 14 May 2009)
so back up a foot and take a picture of both phones physically as well as the QWERTY... because of you couldnt tell, in this comparison, size does matter.

The University of Tennessee, Knoxville Office of Research and Engagement (ORE) is pleased to invite applications for the FY18 Organized Research Unit (ORU) Program and other Strategic and Transformative Investments in Research (STIR) projects.
For FY18, while ORE encourages faculty to form multidisciplinary teams to bring forward ideas, we particularly encourage proposals that address one or more of the following strategic priorities that align with external opportunities at ORNL and with NSF, NIH and other federal agencies:
- Advanced materials science
- Advanced manufacturing
- Exascale and high performance computing
- Scaled data science and data analytics
- Science of neutrons
- Cybersecurity and infrastructure
- Energy science
- Public health issues in Appalachia
- Smart, resilient, sustainable communities
- Complexity of biological/environmental/climate systems
- Personalized medicine (cancer, neuroscience)
ORU Program Objective
This funding opportunity is intended to help enable Organized Research Units to pursue a substantial net increase in external funding and to become self-sufficient within a three-year time period. The primary purpose of this award is to stimulate innovative, multidisciplinary, team research that will give rise to future external funding.
Generally, UT's most successful ORUs have the following features:
- The ORU conducts a series of interconnected research projects. Each project is led by a multidisciplinary team that is supported by one or more students. Although ORU faculty members may be more engaged on some projects than others, progress updates are shared with all ORU faculty. All ORU faculty have an opportunity to provide formative input on the projects.
- ORU faculty begin drafting joint publications by the end of their first year.
- ORU faculty begin submitting joint proposals for external funding by the end of their first year. However, any one proposal typically includes a subset ORU faculty – all faculty are not included in every proposal. Most of the proposals sought are modest in size ($100k-$400k/year).
The UT ORE administers several finite internal funds to support research and creative activities, including the Scholarly Activity and Research Incentive Funds (SARIF) and the Strategic and Transformative Investments in Research (STIR) fund. The STIR funding is to be inclusive of broader strategic research opportunities that emphasize the intended transformative nature of the investment. ORE began providing Organized Research Unit (ORU) funding in FY09, and this has been one of many internal investment components to promote the research enterprise at the UT. The STIR investment continues to provide support for new and continuing ORUs. ORE welcomes ORU funding applications from members of the UT Knoxville regular faculty in all academic disciplines for one-time, one-year FY18 funding. FY18 awards are open to new and existing ORUs that have received less than 3 years of ORU funding.
Other STIR Projects Program Objective
The STIR funding is to be inclusive of broader strategic research opportunities that emphasize the intended transformative nature of the investment. UT Knoxville regular faculty in all academic disciplines may apply for one-time, one-year FY18 funding requesting STIR funds for research projects that have the potential to be transformative but do not fit the ORU mechanism.
These STIR projects should:
- Include researchers from multiple disciplines
- Fund innovative research that has the potential to be transformative
- Have the potential to lead to external funding

Detail progress towards securing external funding and plan to become a sustainable collaboration. Lists of proposals and awards credited to the ORU should be provided in the format outlined in the ORU Proposal Report Spreadsheet.
- All materials should be combined into one pdf document.
General Guidelines
- Funding is primarily provided to increase the competitiveness of interdisciplinary research groups in winning external funding sufficient to make them financially independent.
- All ORU funding provided is considered "one-time, one-year" funding for the sole purpose of fostering the mission and objectives of the ORU as defined in the proposal. Allocations are to fund the production and growth of high quality and meaningful research output in each area, including a significant net growth in external funding, rather than replacement funding for the faculty involved. Continued, on-going funding is not guaranteed.
- Proposals must identify where the ORU will be housed and what administrative support services will be available (typically in a department or college). If the ORU proposes to be a proposal-submitting unit, a F&A sharing agreement will need to be established.
- Additional funding, or cost sharing, to be provided by units and individuals in support of the ORU, is highly encouraged.
Other STIR Projects:
- Funding is primarily provided to support potentially transformative innovative research of interdisciplinary research group and increase their competitiveness in winning external funding sufficient to make them financially independent.
- All STIR funding provided is considered "one-time, one-year" funding for the sole purpose of fostering the mission and objectives of the project as defined in the proposal. Allocations are to fund the production and growth of high quality and meaningful research output in each area, including a significant net growth in external funding, rather than replacement funding for the faculty involved.
- Additional funding, or cost sharing, to be provided by units and individuals in support of the project, is highly encouraged.
Budget Development
- Funding Restrictions: These funds may not be used for faculty salaries, administrative supplements, additional pay, or course release time. Funds may not be used for research consultants or those in a 1% effort type position paid through additional pay. Funds may not be used for administrative or accounting support unless specifically approved. Funds may not be used for other costs typically supported by departments such as telephone, network ports, etc. Inappropriate charges will be removed from the account.
- Research Projects: Requests to support research projects (e.g. graduate students and supplies) must be proposed as a series of interconnected projects. Each project must be led by a multidisciplinary team. ORU Only: ORU faculty members may have differing levels of engagement on each individual project; however, their substantive participation across several projects demonstrates the need for the ORU.
- Benefits: ORU and other SITR funding must cover the cost of benefits for anyone charging to the account unless already established with centrally funded benefits.
If Funding is Approved
- Funding approved by ORE often differs from the amount requested. In these cases, a revised work plan that reflects the actual funds provided will be required.
- Any change in use of funds from what was proposed requires approval in advance by Soren Sorensen, ORE Faculty Fellow at firstname.lastname@example.com.
- Funds are from annual campus budgeting and are to be fully utilized by June 30, 2018. Carryovers require a very strong justification, and in general are not likely to be approved. Carryover requests should be sent to firstname.lastname@example.com.
Future Funding
- ORUs will generally be eligible to compete for future funding for up to three years to become self-sustaining.
- Future funding is strongly dependent on performance, particularly with regard to the preparation of grant applications and awards.
Other STIR projects:
- Other STIR funding should be considered one-time funding. Projects are generally not eligible for continued funding.

More than 370 Armenian servicemen have been eliminated by Azerbaijani armed forces since Apr. 2 as a result of prevention of Armenian sabotages, said Azerbaijan's Defense Ministry in a message released Apr. 5.I keep getting this one wrong. I thought Russia had put a cork in the fighting and this thing was over. Wrong again.
Six Armenian tanks, 15 artillery units and reinforced engineering structures were destroyed and more than 100 servicemen of the Armenian armed forces were killed in the shootouts on Apr. 2.
Twelve servicemen of the Azerbaijani armed forces were killed, one Mi-24 helicopter was shot down and one tank was damaged on a mine.
Although the Azerbaijani armed forces have unilaterally stopped the retaliatory measures and counter-attacks on the frontline since Apr. 3, Armenians continued to aggravate the situation.
In order to return the lost positions, Armenians attacked the positions in Aghdere-Terter and Khojavend-Fizuli directions and intensively shelled the settlements near the line of contact.
Armenians suffered losses in manpower and military equipment in the shootouts on Apr. 3.
Three Azerbaijani servicemen were killed in the fighting. Azerbaijan's armed forces responded with crushing strikes on the Armenian positions.
During a counter-attack, Azerbaijani armed forces destroyed three tanks and eliminated around 30 servicemen of Armenian armed forces. Moreover, one enemy battery was destroyed as a result of a counter-strike of the Azerbaijani armed forces.
As a result of the preventive measures and strikes by Azerbaijani armed forces, Armenians fled in panic, suffering heavy losses, leaving their positions and throwing down weapons and ammunition. The enemy retreated in panic.
Afterwards, 12 armored vehicles were destroyed and up to 170 servicemen of Armenia were eliminated as a result of a return fire by the Azerbaijani armed units.
Azerbaijan's armed forces are working to construct engineering and fortification structures in the strategic positions that came under their control, and are carrying out visual intelligence and adjusting the fire.
A headquarters of the enemy's military base was destroyed in the strategically important Magadiz, located on the main road that leads to the city of Aghdere.
On the night of Apr. 4, three tanks of the enemy were destroyed along with their crews as a result of the strikes on the engineering and fortification positions.
In order to minimize the threat of damage to Azerbaijani settlements by fire from the opposite side, Azerbaijani armed units, deployed in the Khojavand-Fizuli direction, destroyed two tanks of the enemy along with their crews and up to five wheeled vehicles loaded with munitions.
Moreover, up to 70 Armenian servicemen were killed and around 20 military equipment of the enemy were completely destroyed by return fire during the operations carried out on Apr. 4 and Apr. 5.
Sixteen Azerbaijani servicemen were killed in the military operations in the last two days.
What I can't quite figure is if this is a proxy war between Russia and Turkey (the Turks have been quite vocal in their support of Azerbaijan and they're pushing for more fighting...at least that's how it looks from my chair) while Russia is calling on both sides to end this. What we can't ignore is the buildup to this latest fighting. Both sides have been "egging" each other on and we've witnessed a series of border clashes in the past few months/years.
If its a proxy war being pushed by Turkey then I can't see what the goal is.
Regardless, this is gonna be an easy one to keep track of. Both sides have small military forces and if we're to believe reports coming from both camps then this won't last much longer. They simply don't have the capacity to wage a protracted conventional war. We could see both sides try and launch some sort of insurgency/hybrid war on each other but because of the ethnic makeup of both countries even that won't last long.
This will calm down by June.

How did the US respond to the economic needs of fighting during WWII?
- print Print
- list Cite
There were three major ways, generally speaking, in which the US government responded to these economic needs. There was rationing, there were government efforts to ensure that companies produced the things that were needed, and there were major attempts to get people to loan money to the government.
The government set up the Office of Price Administration to make sure that the public did not use too much of various commodities. The OPA instituted rationing for many things such as rubber and gasoline.
The government also set up things like the War Production Board and passed the Smith-Connally Anti-Strike Act. The WPB did things like halting the production of passenger cars so that materials would go, instead, to war production. The Smith-Connally Act ensured that strikes would not disrupt war production.
Finally, there were many war bond drives meant to persuade people to lend money to the government. This money was, of course, used to fund the war effort.

BarroMerics Views: Default Future and Success II
So, what is our default future?
It is the pathway of automatic neural responses created up to the age of 11. Operating at a subconscious level, the responses kick in whenever our subconscious perceives a change in our environment as threatening. Unfortunately, our subconscious treats a life-threatening event in the same way as an event which is psychologically threatening; e.g. it treats facing a mugger in the same way as facing the probability of being stopped out at a loss. Indeed, the same area of the brain lights up for uncertainty and ambiguity as when we face a mugger.
I call this response the 3Fs – fight, flight (and, in extreme cases) freeze. A 3F response reacts not to market information but as a way of releasing the stress we are feeling. And, since our 3F decision fails to make use of our Right Brains' intuition, and our Left Brain's reasoning, the decision we make is more often than not, less than optimal.
Turning now to the failure of our Group 1 to effect behavioural change….Those in the group fail to change their behaviour because change triggers the 3F response. We prefer to stay in our comfort zone because moving outside the zone causes anxiety and pain.
Let's now turn a Group 2 where the members do put in the work to learn a method, do effect new behaviours but still fail…..next issue

I can't help to really think that it is my denaro that I just sold. I sold mine for $62 shipped on LJ since I thought it'd be going to another tokidoki lover that would treasure it. I know/knew exactly how much it could bring me on eBay btw. It could only be up on eBay for the person to justify their purchase (I did the same thing w/ my shirts since my bf wanted me to try to sell them) but then again it could have been bought with this in mind. But the sad thing is I had a few more people contact me w/in the same day inquiring about the denaro that would've really wanted it it still makes me sad and want to only sell to people I actually know Anyways... what do you think about your tokidoki being sold for profit?

Three wetlands will be closed and one partly closed to duck hunters as the season prepares to officially start on Saturday.
Big Reedy Lagoon State Game Reserve, north-west of Yarrawonga, will be closed to hunters for the duration of the season as a result of significant numbers of great egret.
Game Management Authority chief executive officer Grey Hyams said closing wetlands during duck season was a safeguard for threatened species.
''Surveying bird numbers and closing wetlands where appropriate helps ensure that rare and threatened species are protected,'' Mr Hyams said.
Kow Swamp near Gunbower and Reedy Lakes at Kerang will also be closed for the entire season to reinforce their status as wildlife sanctuaries.
The duck season begins on Saturday, March 18 and closes on Monday, June 12.

Calcutta, Sept. 3: With the government casting a blind eye on the pollution in Rabindra Sarovar, the high court is set to step in.
The green groups and the morning walkers' association had appealed the court saying the pollution was rampant and nothing was being done to save the sarovar and a division bench accepted the call for its intervention. The case will be heard early next week.
'We have been hearing about beautification of the lake for quite sometime, but nothing has happened yet. Some of the clubs are still flouting court directives and the agencies entrusted with enforcing the guidelines are keeping mum,' environmental activist Subhas Dutta said.
The court is now likely to take it upon itself to ensure that the lake is beautified and its standard upgraded to make it eligible for a central scheme to conserve national lakes.
'The sarovar has lost its charm because of bad maintenance by the Calcutta Improvement Trust (CIT),' Dutta told the court yesterday.
Morning walkers under the Sarovar Bachao Committee and Dutta also alleged that the trust was equally responsible for the rising pollution in the area. 'Not only the clubs' the CIT itself has a huge godown in the area,' said Kalol Guha Thakurta, the lawyer appearing on behalf of the Sarovar Bachao Committee. 'We will ask the court to shift the godown immediately.'
Quoting a recent CIT survey report, Guha Thakurta said four clubs have encroached into the lake area, but no action has been taken against them despite court directives. 'The clubs are guilty of spoiling the lake water.'
Speaking for the clubs, lawyer Saptangshu Basu demanded a joint probe involving the CIT and the alleged encroachers. 'The allegations of encroachment and pollution is baseless. Let a bigger inquiry be ordered and then see who is to be blamed,' Basu said. 'The clubs are not polluting the water in any way.'
Dutta said on two different occasions, water samples collected from the lake had shown that it was not fit for bathing, but the government did not react. 'Initially, they undertook a few programmes, but now they are not following the norms to maintain the water quality,' Guha Thakurta alleged.
He said the CIT and other government departments had announced programmes to beautify the lake and its surroundings. 'But nothing was done. We want to record the government's statement in court. Let the department concerned say that it is beautifying the lake,' Dutta said today.
Sumit Panja, the lawyer for the CIT, said the clubs have elaborate plans to beautify the lake and the agency will inform the court in due course. He added: 'The allegations of pollution and the agency doing nothing about it is wrong.'

has an engine from an s2 ever been put in a b5 a4?
I did consider that option, between my b2,7 biturbo and S8 motor, but the length makes it a not too attractive option.
It's longer than a V8.
it is also hewn from a solid block of extra heavy cast iron!!!
I had a 90 Quattro and my god are they nose heavy!!
even the 20v doesn't tune up as well as the much more advanced 2.7 V6 or 1.8t
they are pretty bulletproof internals but a pain to work on
I wouldn't compare the I5 20V (7A) with the 1,8 / 2,7 turbo motors.
Now the I5 20V turbo motors (RR, 3B, AAN, ABY and ADU) are more than comparable with the later 1,8 / 2,7 turbo versions.
Yes but it was a track only vehicle and IMHO was not the smartest combination.
If I were you I would find a VR5 from a B5.5 Passat and transplant that in.There are MANY options available for this motor stateside and the combination would be perfect.It might actually be in the next project car
Hi bro, I guessed it was you!
Welcome aboard.
Yes, the V5 will be a direct bolt-in replacement.
Will need to be boosted though, as it doesn't make loads of power as standard, or respond favourably to conventional tuning methods.
Its a boat anchor in stock form but nothing we do in stock anyway
like it, think I will steal that description!
