djcbcn needed a new web page design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 28 designs submitted by 15 freelance designers.
Soy de un otro planeto! Born in Canada with blood from the Ukraine, Carribean, Scotland, France, and Portugal... there is only one. Passionate, crazy, sleek, chic, and always adorable. The marca of Doran's music is "dirty, filthy, and occassionally elegant" and "where GLAMOUR meets TWEAKER". My vision is to dj, just dj, not spend time in the studio producing but spend hours and days searching for the best music across genres for epic sessions featuring of dance music from tech house to deep house to minimal and everything in between (with very clever vocal samples even though I do say so myself). Here is a link to my latest promo set to give you a flavour for my music and its energy http://www.sendspace.com/file/mnm99g
Club owners, record labels, house music lovers, hot chicks, gay ravers, left of centre celebrities, russian oligarchs, colombian huglords, fashion label owners that will sponsor me, crazy party people, models, Barack Obama, Hugh Hefner
I am a dj interested to create a webpage for promotional and informational purposes. I am thinking one of doran.com, doranmusic.com, or doran-music.com, The website will be relatively streamlined for the moment having a biography, photos (which I need to take professionally), links to download music, contact details, and perhaps some links to relevant pages (clubs, dj equipment, fashion, other, etc.), tour dates, and maybe a blog.
I'd be interested to talk with you to know roughly what the different options might cost. I don't think the website needs to be that slick for the moment but then again I want to make sure it is competitive with pro djs (who I am trying to dethrone for gigs!). Here are some examples -

Like Ecstasy, GHB is popular with club-goers and those who go to "rave" parties,
including teens and young adults. When mixed with alcohol, it has a depressant effect
that can cause someone to black out. This is why GHB is often called the date rape
Liquid Ecstasy, G, Georgia homeboy, cups
Swallowed (in liquid or powder form, which is mixed with water, or as tablets)
GHB causes both a euphoric high (intense rush of happy feelings) and hallucinations.
GHB has caused many young people to need emergency medical care. Because the liquid
is odorless and colorless, it's sometimes slipped unknowingly into a person's drink.
Side effects of GHB use include drowsiness, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, and vision
changes. People who take GHB may become unconscious (pass out), stop breathing, and
go into a coma. GHB use can kill.
Because both GHB and alcohol are depressants, mixing the two is very, very dangerous
and can be deadly — even if someone has only taken low doses of the drug.
Because of its serious effects, GHB has led to emergency medical care for many
young people and has killed more users than the drug Ecstasy.

City of Lincoln
Mayor's Office
2009 Media Releases
Mayor Chris Beutler invites the public to join him in honoring Delores Lintel with the unveiling of a marker in Lintel Park recognizing her contributions to Lincoln. The ceremony will be held at 1:30 p.m. Wednesday, June 10 at Lintel Park, 21st and Holdrege streets.
In 1968, Delores Lintel and a group of dedicated women began a grass-roots effort to become actively involved in resolving problems affecting their community, lives and well-being. The result was the Clinton Neighborhood Organization and soon after, many more organized neighborhood groups were formed. Mrs. Lintel has been a consistent voice for Lincoln citizens for more than four decades and continues to be actively involved in the community.
In the 1960's, the City planned to build a major roadway, the Northeast Radial, that would connect downtown and northeast Lincoln. The route of the proposed roadway extended through several established residential areas. Much of the land had been acquired for the project when the initiative was defeated by voter referendum, in large part due to the organization and citizen activism of neighborhood residents. A plan was developed to reuse the acquired properties for residential, commercial and park purposes. As a part of the Radial Reuse Plan, Lintel Park was developed and dedicated in 1987 and named in recognition of Delores Lintel. The park is the western anchor of the John Dietrich Trail that follows the route of the former Northeast Radial Project.
Delores recently received the Dorothy Richardson Award for Resident Leadership from NeighborWorks America. The award was given in recognition of outstanding contributions by dedicated community leaders.


text: One of the greatest ancient historians, Thucydides (c.460 B.C.–c.400 B.C.) chronicled nearly 30 years of war and tension between Athens and Sparta. His "History of the Peloponnesian War" set a standard for scope, concision and accuracy that makes it a defining text of the historical genre. Unlike his near-contemporary Herodotus (author of the other great ancient Greek history), Thucydides' topic was his own time. He relied on the testimony of eyewitnesses and his own experiences as a general during the war. Though specific in detail, the questions he addressed were timeless: What makes nations go to war? How can politics elevate or poison a society? What is the measure of a great leader or a great democracy?

Pets, Pets, Pets
If the following lost dog situation were a Lifetime movie, a happy ending would be guaranteed, especially at holiday time. But it's not TV; it's real life.
On Dec. 9th while two Colorado humanitarians were on LI for meetings about their foundation that helps destitute children in Haiti, their Chihuahua took off from the Sheraton Hotel. "Steinbeck" a 15 pound pup is still missing in Brentwood. Have you seen him?
Haiti is the poorest nation in the Western hemisphere. This year hurricanes and the tragic school collapse spotlighted the desperation on the impoverished island. In 1994 Susie and Joe Krabacher of Aspen established the Mercy & Sharing Foundation (www.haitichildren.com), a non-profit relief organization non-profit relief organization operating in Haiti with an extensive network of feeding centers, clinics, orphanages and schools.
The Krabachers strive to give the forgotten children of Haiti, hope and opportunity so that one day they will thrive and become the saviors of their country. No donations go toward administrative costs back in the states. Susie and Joe take money out of their pockets to meet all other expenses.
The Colorado couple flew here with their 5 Chihuahuas. Last Tuesday 5 year old "Steinbeck", mostly tan with a black back, slipped away from their housekeeper when she was transferring him from a carrier to a leash in the Sheraton parking lot on Motor Parkway. He ran through a hole in the fence toward a sump and then disappeared.
Their search is more difficult because the area is not residential. As strangers here, these distraught people have little community support. They are so far from home but are staying as long as they can, offering a $5000 reward. Yes, a $5000 reward. Unless someone picked Steinbeck up or the worst has happened, their frightened dog, lost in an industrial section right near the LIE, has been out in the torrential rain and sub zero nights.
Bonnie Folz the coordinator of Team Vivi, the search for the Westminster champion Whippet lost at JFK almost 3 years ago, is guiding Steinbeck's owners. No one has more hands on experience hunting for missing dogs. Strategies learned may not have found Vivi but have rescued many other dogs throughout the country. Ironically this fall Bonnie happened to be at the Pharaoh Hound National Specialty in Tennessee when a puppy from Manhattan slipped her lead. She and Team Vivi veterans helped with the dog's recovery 11 days later. (See a slide show of the fabulous team effort at: www.karinthepi.com/id121.html.) Last week Vivi alumni trapped 3 terrified teddy bear puppies that had been abandoned on Meadowbrook Parkway.
Back in Brentwood, insulated humane traps are set by the fence and a spot where Steinbeck was supposedly seen, but that sighting turned out to be a different Chihuahua repeatedly let loose by his owner. Bright yellow posters are widespread. Another 500 translated into Spanish will go up next. Steinbeck's 4 housemates howl calling their brother while Joe and Susie visit the town shelters.
On Friday Laura Totis and her tracking dogs came up from Maryland. Her trained sleuths picked up scent by the sump but not much more. Calls came in that Steinbeck was at Brentwood Country Club. Saturday shifted gears to Suffolk Community College after a woman told us her friend saw "our dog" there in the morning. Possible? He'd have to safely cross under the expressway.
More people need to learn that this out of town dog is missing. I'd love to think he is resting comfortably inside the home of folks who will do the right thing once they read about him. Steinbeck is microchipped and wearing his chip tag. Presently we are trying to publicize his plight on the TV news but
poor Steinbeck is competing with other breaking pet stories. Newsday's piece was bumped. So far radio hasn't materialized.
I only spent a few hours at the location but find the Brentwood locat ion even more frustrating than Kennedy Airport or Flushing where we followed Vivi's
trail. Both dogs vanished in winter but JFK had more open terminals and trucks for shelter; more stores to post flyers; more people to tell the saga. Vivi had a national network behind her; few know about Steinbeck. LI malls are impersonal. Today the Costco manager didn't want to hear what I had to say. Merry Christmas to you too, sir. In contrast the hot dog truck lady on Crooked Hill was quite sympathetic.
Suffolk roads by the Sheraton have no shoulders so it's too dangerous to staple on telephone poles. I taped Steinbeck posters to a charity clothing bin that said: "Bridging the Gap, One Child at a Time". It seemed like the appropriate spot. Steinbeck's owners do so much for others. Wouldn't it be only fitting if Long Islanders could return their kindness and help get their Chihuahua back safely? I'm not asking for a Christmas miracle-just want little Steinbeck to be reunited with his loving family. Epilogue: This plea was finished late Saturday evening. Tragically the worst happened-Sunday Steinbeck's owners found his lifeless body on the LIE….
For Adoption: Sorry, I am having some trouble segueing into a shelter list. Yet the many dogs and cats at Babylon Town Shelter (643-9270) Lamar St. W. Babylon are waiting for someone to take them home. This sweet tabby cat "Maxie" in C-6, who posed patiently in the Santa beard, was surrendered by a person who didn't appreciate her. "Maxie" has been spayed via the shelter. "Scooby" in Cage 14 is a Shepherd mix under a year old. Female: "Helga"-blue-eyed Hound mix Cage 25. Male: "Roosevelt"-Akita mix recovering from a fractured hip Cage 26; "Prince" longhaired mix belonged to a senior citizen Cage 17.

King Leonidas and the 300 Spartans of Thermopylae
In addition to an account of the battle, it provides information on movies, websites related to the battle, and items for sale relating to the event. I am pleased that the 700 Thespians who fought and died along side the 300 are given some credit at the site. It notes, "Therefore, the Thespians should be held with the highest esteem as the Spartan fallen. They distinguished themselves by remaining to fight and die with honor and courage along with the remaining Spartan heroes so that the rest of the Greek warriors could withdraw safely."
I did see 300 on Sunday night. I enjoyed the movie and even though it was a bit strange at times it was a good retelling of the Battle of Thermopylae. I am rather certain however that the Persians did not use Rhinos or elephants in the battle against the Greeks as the movie suggests.
From the site:
This website is dedicated to King Leonidas and the 300 Spartans, who along with 700 Thespians fought to the death defending the Pass of Thermopylae (Hot Gates) in August, 480 B.C. The Spartan and Thespian last stand has been immortalized in the works of Herodotus and glorified in the 1962 movie 'The 300 Spartans' starring Richard Egan, along with many other mediums consisting of artwork, books, statues, etc.
The legendary battle of Thermopylae was the focus of Steven Pressfield's 'Gates of Fire' which received many accolades and which will be visited once again with the premier of the Frank Miller movie '300'.

Thank you for the link!
As an Iranian, however, I am both concerned about the problems of representation in this film. I'm also concerned about what it says about our cultural fabric when we make a film like this in a period of tense deliberation between the United States and Iran.
I wrote on this issue on my blog, if you care to engage an alternative viewpoint.

I am not Greek or Persian. However at the root of our western civilization is Greece and all its works. Now we can look back to a time when we, that is our cultural ancestors, were nearly wiped out. Because of that we are naturally sympathetic to Greeks and their problems.
If you have an anticolonial viewpoint then the Greeks were right to resist Persian imperialism, however much some Greeks might admire aspects of Persian culture.

As we saw previously (http://condomsizeandfacts.blogspot.com/2011/10/simple-truth-about-penis-circumference.html), the average erect penis dimensions are as follow:
- average erect penis length (remember to press the pubic bone with your ruler): 147.64mm +-19.78mm (5.81in +-0.78in).
The scientific community considers that any penis fitting within the mean + or - 2 standard deviations is perfectly normal. As an example, the condom sizes start at 45 or 47mm, which, at minimum, corresponds to the mean erect circumference minus 2 standard deviations (94.99mm).
From the above definition, more than 95% of the penises can be considered normal. And 2/3 of the penises are average (+ or - one standard deviation).
Please find below the corresponding charts to the erect penis girth (circumference) and length:
Graphically, this translates as follows:
|Very small
|Very big
|108mm X 95mm
|128mm X 108mm
|148mm X 122mm
|167mm X 135mm
|187mm X 148mm
Almost all penises are normal, and the great majority is average!
There is no excuse anymore to be worried! There are also different shaped condoms out there to suit those who want more "head room", a tighter grip on the shaft, or a flared shape, for example. Check out this Condom Size Calculator for help.
Now, instead of focusing so much on size, depending on the type of penis you have, you may feel the need to adapt your behaviour and strategy (provided that love, care, attention to your partner should already be what really matters).
For a bit of fun, I invite you to go to this page which happens to have a fairly good estimate of the averages:

Grapeland Man Indicted For Anderson County Child Exploitation Violations
Department of Justice
Office of Public Affairs
TYLER, Texas — A 45-year-old Grapeland, Texas man has been arrested on child exploitation charges in the Eastern District of Texas, announced U.S. Attorney John M. Bales today.
Robbie Newby was indicted by a federal grand jury on Apr. 17, 2013, and charged with four counts of sexual exploitation of a child and one count of possession of child pornography. Newby went before U.S. Magistrate Judge John D. Love today for an initial appearance.
According to the indictment, from January to March 2012, Newby coerced or persuaded a minor to engage in sexually explicit conduct for the purpose of producing visual depictions of such conduct. The conduct is alleged to have occurred in Anderson County, Texas.
This case is being prosecuted as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse launched in May 2006 by the Department of Justice. Led by United States Attorneys' Offices and the Criminal Division's Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section (CEOS), Project Safe Childhood marshals federal, state and local resources to better locate, apprehend and prosecute individuals who exploit children via the Internet, as well as to identify and rescue victims. For more information about Project Safe Childhood, please visit www.projectsafechildhood.gov.
If convicted, Newby faces a minimum of 15 years in federal prison for each of the exploitation charges and up to 10 years for the possession charge.
This case is being investigated by the Department of Homeland Security - Homeland Security Investigations DHS-HSI and the Anderson County Sheriff's Office and prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Nathaniel Kummerfeld.
It is important to note that an arrest, indictment, or complaint should not be considered as evidence of guilt and that all persons charged with a crime are presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.

The 100 Moments of TSU Athletics presented by Taco Bell® series continues by remembering a first in Tennessee State basketball history.
In 1994, TSU guard Monty Wilson was named the OVC's freshman of the year despite breaking his hand midway through the season.
Wilson averaged 13.5 points and 5.7 rebounds per game as a freshman and was a key piece for the Tigers' OVC-winning team.
The Tigers had talented upper-classmen all over the depth chart, but Wilson still got quality minutes in games against Cincinnati, UCLA and Alabama.
Wilson may have gone down with an injury, but his TSU career was far from over.
Wilson rebounded from missing time and was named to the OVC's First Team during his junior campaign while scoring an average of 19.6 points per contest and grabbing seven rebounds. He then was named to the team again during his senior season despite playing through injuries to his face and foot.
Potential NBA suitors may have had qualms about Wilson's prior injuries, but that didn't stop him from playing professional basketball after leaving Tennessee State.
Wilson signed with a team in Puerto Rico and found immediate success, averaging a double-double with 22 points and 10 rebounds per game. Wilson was even named MVP of the Puerto Rico BSN league in 2001 and his team won the championship in 2003.
He has continued to play overseas up until 2011 when he played guard for a team in Venezuela.
Former Tigers Jason Johnson, Kevin Samuel and Bruce Price have also garnered the OVC Freshman of the Year award, but Wilson will always be remembered as the first.
The 100 Moments of TSU Athletics presented by Taco Bell® highlights some of the greatest moments in honor of Tennessee State's centennial celebration. A new moment will be released each weekday for a total of 100. These moments were chosen by the TSU 100 Moments committee, which consists of alums from various departments. TSU has so many great moments, not all can be represented in these 100.

|MBTA map that shows the
During the 1970's the MBTA was experiencing a time of growth. They began to examined many of their lines and fund improvement and revitalization projects. The Orange Line Elevated was the first on their list. The MBTA first thought of ways that they could extend the Orange Line. They proposed extending the northern terminus to Route-128 in Reading, then extend southern terminus to Dedham. As a result of this review the MBTA decided they were going to rip down the Charlestown Elevated.
The MBTA built a brand new route for the Charlestown line. The new line ran from A new underground station at North Station through an underwater tunnel under the Charles River. The line then traveled at grade along newly acquired track from the Boston and Maine Railroad right of way under I-93. The line then terminated at the present day terminus of Oak Grove.
|Riding over the Charlestown Bridge
During the early 1980s, although the Orange line had become the most reliable and most ridden rapid transit line in Boston, it had become the most unsafe line in the system, due to the amount of crime on trains and at stations.
The once beautiful victorian style elevated stations were now in horrible despair and were in need of a major refurbishment or total demolition. Although it was going to come at a huge price tag, around $730 Million, $1,677,050,744 in today's money, the MBTA was going to re-route the entire southern half of the Orange Line and rip down the Washington St. Elevated. In May, 1987 the last revenue trip was performed on the Washington St. Elevated. Thereafter the Orange line, instead of rising to the elevated tracks on Washington St., would veer west to follow the Mass Pike on the acquired right of way from the Boston and Albany Railroad and then travel along a newly constructed right of way all the way to Forest Hills. This became the Orange line that many of us ride today.
|North Station Elevated
As with many high profile and expensive projects, there was much controversy that came with the closing of the elevated. Although the line terminated basically in the same place, the new route largely bypassed Washington St. The MBTA promised replacement service to local residents who relied on the Elevated to get to work. A green line extension that would run from Washington Street to Dudley Square, then divert southeast on Warren Street towards Dorchester was proposed, but dropped soon after. It took the T until 2002 to implement some sort of service replacement for this area, being phase 1 of the Silver Line.

As the demand for data has grown with the advent of 4G networks and smartphones we've seen the major carriers switch their plans. Once, they offered unlimited data alongside tiered monthly tariffs for call minutes and texts, now they have reversed the equation. New plans from Verizon and AT&T this summer offer unlimited minutes and texts, but charge for data usage. Take a look at AT&T Mobile Share vs. Verizon Share Everything to see how they stack up.
T-Mobile has decided to buck the trend and offer "Unlimited Nationwide 4G Data" on its HSPA+ network as an add-on for all of its voice and text plans. This is completely uncapped and throttle-free data. Add it to a Value plan which isn't tied to a subsidized device and it will cost you an extra $20 per month. Add it to a Classic plan and you're looking at $30 per month extra. That shakes out at $70 per month for unlimited talk, text, and data on the Value plan, and $90 for the same on a Classic plan.
T-Mobile's new plans will be available starting on Sept. 5 and many consumers are liable to be tempted by what look like straightforward plans at reasonable prices — a far cry from the complicated new plans from AT&T and Verizon.
The only downside is that you can't take an unlimited data plan and use your hotspot capability to tether other devices to your smartphone. If you want to use your phone as a hotspot, you'll have to stick with one of the limited plans which throttles once you reach your monthly limit.
According to The Verge, T-Mobile would not confirm whether the plans would still be available when 4G LTE rolls out.
New and existing customers can sign up for the new plans at T-Mobile stores or online Sept. 5.

Once again, a cost-conscious big pharma company is axing research and development operations around the world — but hiring more scientists and drug developers in the Boston area.
This time it's Swiss pharmaceutical giant Novartis AG, which plans to cut about 500 research jobs elsewhere while adding about 175 jobs at the company's global research headquarters in Cambridge. The jobs at the Novartis Institutes for BioMedical Research here will include some new hires along with other researchers moving from Horsham, England, where Novartis is closing a respiratory diseases research site, and Emeryville, Calif., where it is shutting down a cancer research program.
Novartis will also be shuttering a small dermatology research site in Vienna and a unit at its San Diego campus that makes protein-based biologic drugs.
"This is not a pleasant decision for the people affected," Novartis research chief Mark C. Fishman said of the restructuring, which was disclosed to employees Wednesday. "But our goal is to continue to make great medicine, and we have to be efficient to do it. This is not an attempt to cut research and development. It's an attempt to reallocate resources in a more efficient way."
The new positions in Cambridge will be a boost to the local life sciences sector at a time when another growing drug maker, Vertex Pharmaceuticals Inc., is eliminating 175 jobs because of a sharper-than-expected drop in sales of its lead drug to treat hepatitis C.
Novartis has become one of the largest biopharmaceutical players in the Boston area in recent years, employing about 2,400 people in Cambridge, including 1,800 in research. The new respiratory and oncology scientists are expected to work in Novartis buildings along Massachusetts Avenue or in nearby Technology Square, outside Kendall Square. Globally, the Novartis Institutes for BioMedical Research has about 6,500 employees.
The move by Novartis is the latest in a string of cutbacks by global drug makers over the past few years — including Pfizer Inc., London-based AstraZeneca, Sanofi SA of France, and Shire PLC of Ireland. But while the companies have scaled back operations at other research locations, especially in Europe, their Massachusetts operations have largely been spared. Some drug makers, notably Pfizer and Sanofi, have grown local operations through consolidation elsewhere.
For much of the past decade, even as other companies have pulled back on funding for research, Novartis has been expanding its network of research labs, focusing on early-stage research and medicines that might treat smaller numbers of patients but also yield insight into ways to fight other diseases. It has also struck academic and commercial partnerships in fields ranging from cancer and muscle growth to cardiovascular and infectious diseases.
Novartis still spends about $9 billion a year on research and development, more than almost any other large pharmaceutical company. But the restructuring signals a broader realignment in which the company will take a more focused approach — creating smaller operations in Cambridge than the ones it is eliminating in the United Kingdom and California — while continuing to work with partners on new frontiers in biomedical research.
"Science keeps evolving, and we need to keep investing in new directions," said Fishman, a former Massachusetts General Hospital cardiologist recruited in 2002 to run Novartis's global research operations. "What Cambridge offers is a particular advantage not only in the talent pool but it has access to the academic research at the institutions in Boston."
For example, he said, "In Cambridge, a lot of the fundamental work we do is in the field of genetics. And we work very closely with institutions like the Broad Institute."
With the closure of the Novartis research site in England, the Novartis Institutes for BioMedical Research will keep research sites in Cambridge and Basel, Switzerland, and satellite sites in East Hanover, N.J., San Diego, Emeryville, Italy, Shanghai, and Singapore.
Fishman said the net job reductions from the restructuring may total only about 325 after Novartis completes hiring in Cambridge. And he said the company may begin adding more researchers again — in Massachusetts and other sites — as early as next year.Robert Weisman can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com.

"The pears are looking really good," said Ken Goe of M. Goe and Son Inc. "It looks like the crop is going to be well above average for the year."
Each day, Goe's orchard will be shipping out around 200 bins. The smaller pears heading to canneries and the larger pears to packing houses around the Northwest.
M. Goe and Son Inc. is one of the first orchards to begin picking for the year as the crops in the lower valley have just reached maturity.
Although a short window of time, seven to ten days, the picking process began for M. Goe and Son Inc. on Aug. 18 and concluded late the following week. "That's just the Bartletts though," said Goe. "We start picking the Anjous in about two weeks."
The encouraging nature of a crop that is "above average" will be a shared experience this year, according to Steve Castagnoli of the Oregon State Extension Center.
"I believe that the feel of a generous crop is a fair assessment for this year," Castagnoli said. "The harvest should be pretty good across the valley, especially among the Anjous."
According to Castagnoli, the reason for this year's jump in pear numbers is attributed to good pollination conditions.
Jean Godfrey of the Hood River Growers-Shippers Association confirmed the expectations of this year's harvest.
"It's looking pretty good throughout the valley," Godfrey said. "All of the reports I have heard are slightly above average for the year."
"You can never be certain on how you are going to do," said Goe. "The estimates are usually really close, but with so many factors and the current economy, the outcome can't be for sure until the end of harvest."

BOULDER, Colo.—A Colorado man suspected of hiding in the tank of a portable toilet at a Boulder yoga festival and spying on women in other bathrooms is asking a judge to change his plea to not guilty by reason of insanity.
The Boulder Daily Camera (http://tinyurl.com/baddnt8) reports 31-year-old Luke Chrisco is facing eight felony counts of second-degree burglary as well as two misdemeanor counts of unlawful sexual contact and criminal invasion of privacy.
Chrisco was arrested after a woman using a portable toilet at the festival 2011 noticed something moving in the tank and then saw a feces-stained man emerge and run away. Police also think he used peep holes in bathrooms in several Boulder businesses and on the University of Colorado campus.

The title really does say it all -- if Google had never gone ahead with Android and, instead, if they'd maintained their close relationship with Apple, what would iOS 6 be like today? Would Google Maps still be there, and would it be as good as Google Maps on Android is? Would YouTube still be there, and be as good as YouTube on Android? What other services might have been integrated, GTalk instead of iMessage? Google sync instead of iCloud? Would the iPhone 5 ship with NFC-powered Google Wallet? Would the iPad mini come with 20 GB of free space on Google Drive? How far and how deeply could the Apple and Google love affair have gone?
And who would have taken Android's place as Apple's biggest competitor? Would webOS have gotten on Verizon sooner and enjoyed all the marketing that went instead to Droid? Would BlackBerry have kept more of its user base and gained more of the not-Apple share? Would Samsung have gone all-in on Windows Phone and be neck-in-neck with Nokia for the top spot? Would Facebook or Amazon have already rushed in to fill the void?
Put your imaginations to work and give me your best guess -- where would our iPhones and iPads, and the rest of the mobile industry be today if Google had never left Apple?

'First Airliner' Certified Airworthy
With more than five years of work behind it, a replica of The Lark of Duluth (a 1913 Benoist flying boat) has officially received its airworthiness certificate from the FAA, clearing it for first flight, the Duluth Aviation Institute said Thursday, and also a centennial celebration. The Institute recognizes the two-seat aircraft as "the world's first 'commercial' airplane" and says "January 1, 2014, marks the 100 year anniversary of commercial aviation." The organization also says it managed to see the airplane FAA approved on the 100-year anniversary of its first flight in Duluth. The original aircraft was intended to fly passengers for hire and did so on Jan. 1, 1914, in Florida, and for at least three more months that followed. Now, pilots and vintage aircraft lovers will have a few chances to see it again.
The aircraft will be shown at AirVenture Oshkosh this year, and prior to that at the festival to be held on the grounds of Sky Harbor Airport-Duluth July 12-14. The original aircraft's history suggests it was rather prolific. It involves carriage of more than 1,200 passengers, including those flown by its sister ship named Florida, from January to April. The "airline" carried them one at a time between St. Petersburg and Tampa, Fla., at a cost of $5 per ticket, but service ended when a public subsidy dried up. The Lark of Duluth reportedly continued to fly, offering flights to joyriders at different locations across the U.S. While performing those duties in San Diego in 1914, the aircraft suffered a hard landing and was not repaired. Aside from the Duluth Aviation Institute's replica, there is at least one other. It was constructed nearly 30 years ago by the Florida Aviation Historical Society and has spent time at Polk City Florida's Fantasy of Flight museum.

These leaves are gigantic. I seem to always see this plant at various parks and botanical gardens here in Oahu.

Crasher Wake (Japanese: マキシマム仮面 Maximum Mask), otherwise known simply as Wake (Japanese: マキシ Maxi), is the Gym Leader of Pastoria City's Gym, known officially as the Pastoria Gym. He hands out the Fen Badge to Trainers who defeat him. He specializes in Water-type Pokémon.
In the games
Crasher Wake uses Water-type Pokémon in his battles. Trainers receive the Fen Badge, TM55 (Brine) and are able to use Defog outside of battle. In addition, in Diamond and Pearl, if he is the fourth Gym Leader defeated, all Pokémon up to level 50 will obey their Trainer. Wake has a jovial, enthusiastic, and bombastic personality. Wake's strategy is nothing more than choosing moves that will make his battles more fun, and encourages everyone to not take battles too seriously, and to remember they're supposed to be fun. Crasher Wake uses the prize money he gets from competitive Pokémon battles to help the unfortunate. Crasher Wake has his Pokémon use Defog to keep the weather of Pastoria City clear.
He later appears in the Battle Zone, talking to the player's rival, Barry. The rival also mentions that Wake was born overseas. However, he speaks clearly, without any foreign accent. In Black 2 and White 2, Crasher Wake reveals that he was born and raised in the Sinnoh region, even though everyone thinks otherwise.
In Platinum Version, he is first met when players try to enter Veilstone Gym. In Pastoria City, he sings his own theme song, and the rival wants him to be his mentor (much to his dismay). Wake also acts when a Galactic Bomb goes off at the Great Marsh. On Stark Mountain, he mentions that he'll be entering a tournament. Wake can also be battled again, like the other Sinnoh Gym Leaders, at the Battleground. His wrestling matches will occasionally be shown on the TV as part of the Pokémon Variety Hour, which he always wins.
In HeartGold and SoulSilver, he appears in the Celadon Department Store to give the player some Sinnoh starter accessories. He can be found again later, on Route 47.
In Black 2 and White 2, he appears on Route 18 staring out into the ocean. Once the player talks to him, he decides to head to Driftveil City and takes his leave.

In the anime
Crasher Wake debuted in Cream of the Croagunk Crop!, where he met Ash, Dawn, and Brock in front of his Gym, but said that he couldn't battle that day because he was going to be one of the judges of the Pastoria Croagunk Festival. After the festival, Wake said that Ash's Pikachu seemed to be a strong Pokémon, and said he would be happy to battle him the next day.
In A Crasher Course in Power!, Ash defeated Crasher Wake without losing a single Pokémon and earned the Fen Badge.
He also reappeared briefly in a flashback in For the Love of Meowth!, and in a cameo in the ending credits of Zoroark: Master of Illusions.

| Gyarados was the first Pokémon used by Crasher Wake during the Gym battle against Ash; it went up against Pikachu. Gyarados showed its strength by standing up to Pikachu's Thunderbolt, but was defeated when Pikachu combined the speed it picked up by falling alongside a Volt Tackle.
It reappeared briefly in Mamie's flashback in For The Love Of Meowth.
Gyarados's known moves are Dragon Rage and Bite.

| Crasher Wake used Quagsire as his second Pokémon during his Gym battle against Ash, and it proved itself to be very tricky, able to counteract Turtwig's high speed with its excellent hearing and as Quagsire had attacks perfectly suited to battle Grass-types, Ash was forced to recall it.
Quagsire next went up against Buizel, and although Quagsire was able to absorb Buizel's Sonic Booms with its bulky body, it was knocked out by the sheer force of Ice Aqua Jet.
It reappeared briefly in Mamie's flashback in For The Love Of Meowth.
Quagsire's known moves are Sludge Bomb and Ice Beam.

| Floatzel is Crasher Wake's main Pokémon. He was introduced right after Ash's Buizel got into a fight with Pikachu. Upon seeing his evolved form, Buizel became hyped up for battle and a chance to prove himself to Ash.
Floatzel seems to know many different defensive techniques to guard himself from attacks, such as inflating the flotation sac around his body and blocking with his fin. He also knows a variety of different and powerful moves. Crasher Wake claimed that Floatzel is powerful enough to endure even a Giga Impact by using his flotation sac. At one point he used his flotation sac to reflect Buizel's Water Pulse back at him, confusing him. Later in the battle, he used Ice Fang to freeze part of Pikachu's back. Despite all this, he lost to Buizel after Buizel fired a Water Pulse attack at him which sent him crashing into the ceiling and getting knocked out.
He reappeared briefly in flashbacks in For The Love Of Meowth and League Unleashed!; as well as making a brief appearance alongside Wake during the ending credits of Zoroark: Master of Illusions.
Floatzel's known moves are Razor Wind, Bulk Up, Whirlpool, and Ice Fang.

In the manga
In the Pokémon Adventures manga
Crasher Wake is introduced in A Skuffle with Skorupi. Platinum begins to battle him for the Fen Badge in Crafty Carnivine; their battle concludes in Floatzel and Jetsam, during which Platinum's Empoleon is able to defeat his Floatzel, only to lose to Quagsire. Afterwards, the Torterra she borrowed from Diamond defeats the second Pokémon with its Giga Drain when Wake concluded Platinum drowned, only to rise back up from the other side and counterattack. Afterwards, he is impressed by Platinum's adaptability and awards her the Fen Badge.
Later, he reappears in Lake Valor to save Rad Rickshaw and Pearl after the Galactic Bomb's explosion dried the lake, and Saturn defeated the latter. He then had his Quagsire and Floatzel to refill the lake using Rain Dance. Soon, after the boy recovers, Wake coaches him to catch a Floatzel much like his own (after noting that he wouldn't give him his), but when he proves unable, instead tells Pearl to try his luck with the weaker Buizel, which he succeeds in. However, having grown intensely distrustful of humans after the incident, it turned out very disobedient, prone to often attack its owner rather than fight for him.
Like in the games, he pays for the facilities and maintenance of Pastoria City with the prize money he earns. Crasher Wake even has his own theme song which he promised to sing to Pearl; this doesn't happen due to the Sinnoh Gym Leaders' efforts to stop Cyrus at the Spear Pillar, which Wake was involved in; the Gym Leaders are caught up in a blast. In the Platinum chapter, while Wake recovers from his injuries, Pearl finally manages to hear Wake's song through a jukebox.
On hand
| Gyarados was very briefly seen during his presentation, where he was riding on it. It was not used in the Gym match against Platinum (as two of three Pokémon was the rule of the Gym).
None of Gyarados's moves are known.
|A Skuffle with Skorupi
| Floatzel was the first Pokémon sent against Platinum. Since his opponent was Empoleon, a Water-type, he proposed, and Platinum agreed, that the battle take place in the pool. After the initial part was just a struggle, with hits and bites from both parts, they then jumped into the water to demonstrate their speed underwater. Following an extremely fast chase, Empoleon was able to hit Floatzel with her Vacuum Wave, sending him flying away, knocking him out.
It later appeared with Quagsire in Bogging Down Quagsire, where both used Rain Dance to fill up the dried-up Lake Valor.
Floatzel's known moves are Aqua Jet and Rain Dance, and his Ability is Swift Swim.
|A Skuffle with Skorupi
| Quagsire was the second and last Pokémon chosen by Wake. Upon being released, he delivered a powerful Blizzard to Empoleon, to which the Emperor Pokémon responded with the same attack. The cluster of both snowstorms eventually caused Empoleon to hold back and faint. Then she sent Diamond's Tru. After what looked a silent and dull battle, Quagsire showed his skills as a wrestler, taking the Torterra (and lifting it, despite his height and weight) and threw him to the water. However, what he didn't notice (and was ready knock Torterra with a Blizzard) was that Platinum had her Great Marsh overalls attached to Tru's spikes, and therefore was thrown too. Upon noticing it, Wake send his Sailors to rescue her, but just the overalls was underwater. With this, the Water Fish Pokémon didn't shoot the Blizzard and was finished off with a Giga Drain.
Quagsire later appeared with Floatzel in Bogging Down Quagsire, where both used Rain Dance to fill up the dried-up Lake Valor.
Quagsire's known moves are Blizzard and Rain Dance, and his Ability is Damp.
|A Skuffle with Skorupi
Status unknown
| As a young Trainer, Crasher Wake was shown owning a Lumineon which was used in a battle against Palmer. It is unknown if he still has it.
Lumineon's only known move is Aqua Tail.
|The Final Dimensional Duel VIII
In the Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure! manga
He makes a brief cameo in Dialga's Secret Keys, where he is defeated by Hareta. In The Legendary Pokémon, Captured Wake and other Gym Leaders appear at Lake Valor saying they will take care of things there and that he should worry about protecting the legendary Pokémon. He appears in A Battle Of Wills as Byron comes to, he asks Wake what's going on to find that Hareta is battling Saturn. In The Battle Rages On, Wake is amazed by the size of the wave made by Hareta's Piplup. In Gathering of the Legendary Pokémon, he along with the other Gym Leaders and Sinnoh Elite Four head to the Galactic HQ to take on the remaining Team Galactic grunts.
| Gyarados is the only known Pokémon Crasher Wake has. It was used in Hareta's Gym battle against the Gym leader where it was shown to be defeated by his Piplup. Later, it was one of the Pokémon that took on Team Galactic.
None of Gyarados's moves are known.

- His Japanese Leader title is ウォーター ストリーム マスクマン.
- Crasher Wake's use of his prize money to help the disadvantaged is a common cliché in tales of fictional luchadores, inspired by the real-life luchador Fray Tormenta.
- Crasher Wake is a Water-type trainer with a pastime involving fighting, in comparison with Brawly, a Fighting-type trainer with a pastime involving water.
- Despite the game claiming that he uses Defog for Pastoria City, none of the Pokémon he uses in battle can learn it. Though it is possible he has a Pokémon capable of using it he doesn't use in battle, he would not be the only Gym Leader to do so if this was the case, as Fantina has a Drifblim she only uses in Contests and not battles.
- With the release of Pokémon Platinum, the order of three Gym battles in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl are now shifted: instead of being fourth, Crasher Wake is now fifth in the line-up.
- Crasher Wake is the only Sinnoh Gym Leader whom Ash defeated without losing any of his own Pokémon during the match.
- Crasher Wake is the only Gym Leader who doesn't present himself with his real name, but rather his stage name.
- In the anime, like some of the characters in the Diamond & Pearl series, he has a catchphrase he uses when calling out a Pokémon. His catchphrase is On the water.

Handwritten by Emma L.

Miss Coleman argues that this location would preserve the beauty and the quiet of the street and prevent injury to the trees. When the trolley line opened in December 1901, the tracks were not on private land as she requested, but, instead, down the middle of the main street.

ATLANTA (AP) — Wookies, Daleks and scantily-clad comic book characters called Atlanta home this weekend while attending the annual Dragon Con science fiction and fantasy convention. It's the rough equivalent of three consecutive days of Halloween held in high-rise Atlanta hotels.
The annual event features panel discussions on time-travel, round-table talks about the philosophical aspects of "Star Trek" and seminars on gory make-up techniques for horror film fans. Here is a look at some of the people who spent the weekend with like-minded fans of fantasy.

A blog by one of the volunteer reviewers for Geocaching.com. It's about geocaching and the review process -- what it takes to get your new caches listed on the world's most popular geocaching web site. ©Copyright 2012 by K.Braband. All rights reserved
Saturday, November 22, 2008
Yesterday I reviewed a geocache that was placed in a roundabout (the first geocache in an Iowa roundabout submitted to www.geocaching.com that I can recall). Since I had not come across this before, I had to do some research to find out how other reviewers are handling roundabout caches, and to find out if there are any applicable local traffic regulations about walking inside roundabouts. Some reviewers say they use the rule of thumb that if there does not appear to be any pedestrian walkway into the center portion of the roundabout, it would appear that pedestrians are not welcome in the center portion, and therefore neither are geocaches.
Think about it -- how distracting would it be to some drivers if they saw someone poking around in the bushes or rocks inside a roundabout when they're already trying to watch for merging vehicles while trying to find their exit? And it's not just me saying this. The Iowa DOT has a web site that gives advice about roundabouts. (I orignally wrote that previous sentence as "the IDOT gives roundabout advice" but that didn't sound quite right.) The IDOT says this: "Never walk though a roundabout or cross the center island."
Bottom line, unless you seek and obtain special permission for your specific geocache from the local governing municipality, I'm not going to publish geocaches that are placed inside roundabouts .

Not too sure I'd ever want to put or retrieve a cache from a roundabout, but it's interesting to know how people who approve caches think. Glad I came across your blog and I'll be watching for more!

For those that haven't been there Dizzy Devil is on a hiking/biking trail that runs under the road. In the middle of the 'round a bout' theres a bench, flower beds, etc (and something else). very neat

Some roundabouts do have sculptures with plaques and decorative items.... how are you to read these without going over to check them out? Perhaps a picture or note regarding the nature of the roundabout would be in order if you were wishing to submit a cache placed in such a location?
- 10:59 AM, February 02, 2009
- IowaAdmin said...
cllecr, while some roundabouts do seem to be designed for pedestrian traffic, there's still the issue of permission to place a geocache there, which is something that is required for all geocaches. If you as the cache owner feel a roundabout would not be a hazard to geocachers or to drivers, and if you are able to obtain permission for your geocache placement from the government in charge of the roundabout, then it's very likely that it can be approved, provided it complies with the other guidelines of geocaching.com. I hope this helps clarify the situation.

I didn't even know you had roundabouts in the states - but then I've only been to 3 states, and Iowa is not amongst them - I thought they were a pecularly British invention :)
I live in Swindon, UK, home of the most notorious roundabout – or set of roundabouts – in Britain. It's called the Magic Roundabout, and it's positively famous :)
There is a multi placed around the various bits of the Magic, but the final cache is away from it, and the clues are accessible via standard pedestrian walkways. I live within walking distance of this multi and still haven't done it, I'll have to one day. I totally agree that a cache placed in the central island of a busy roundabout with no obvious pedestrian access would be very dangerous, not only for the distracted motorist but also for the pedestrian getting there.

Lesson 210
Parts of the Sentence - Verbals
A verbal is a verb form used as some other part of speech. There are three kinds of verbals: gerunds, participles and infinitives.
A gerund always ends in ing and is used as a noun. Example: Eating is fun.
A participle is used as an adjective and ends various ways. A present participle always ends with ing as does the gerund, but remember that it is an adjective. A past participle ends with ed, n, or irregularly. Examples: played, broken, brought, sung, seeing, having seen, being seen, seen, having been seen.
An infinitive is to plus a verb form. It can be a noun, an adjective, or an adverb. Examples: to be, to see, to be seen, to be eaten.
Instructions: Find the verbals in the following sentences.
1. Changing his mind, Fred agreed to play the part.
2. Having been seen at lunch, the man tried to escape.
3. The team winning the final game will win the cup.
4. One way to improve is to work harder.
5. Decayed and crumbling, that old wall is dangerous.
--For answers scroll down.
1. changing / to play
2. having been seen / to escape
3. winning
4. to improve / to work
5. decayed / crumbling

As if you think carefully you can solve this problem by using two pointers as mentioned in my last post on How to find length of Singly Linked List in Java. By using two pointers, incrementing one at each iteration and other at every second iteration. When first pointer will point at end of Linked List, second pointer will be pointing at middle node of Linked List.
In fact this two pointer approach can solve multiple similar problems e.g. How to find 3rd element from last in a Linked List in one Iteration or How to find nth element from last in a Linked List. In this Java programming tutorial we will see a Java program which finds middle element of Linked List in one Iteration.
Java program to find middle element of LinkedList in one pass
* Java program to find middle element of linked list in one pass.
* In order to find middle element of linked list we need to find length first
* but since we can only traverse linked list one time, we will use two pointers
* one which we will increment on each iteration while other which will be
* incremented every second iteration. so when first pointer will point to the
* end of linked list, second will be pointing to the middle element of linked list

Memorials in Times of TransitionVerschijnt 28 februari 2014
Over the past decades, the practise of and research on transitional justice have expanded to preserving memory in the form of memorials. Yet what are the general roles of memorials in transitions to justice? Who uses or opposes memorials, and to which ends? How – and what – do memorials communicate both explicitly and implicitly to the public? What is their architectural language?Hardback
