I thought about doing that but resisted the urge as I didn't want to mess the whole thing up lol I have reset from the back of the router though many a time.
One thing worth checking is your router up-to-date with the latest firmware?
Reason i ask i had problems with my netgear even with DMZ set-up it was not forwarding packets correctly to some games.
After using some DSL setting work arounds to get some games working a recently released update has resolved all problems no work arounds needed.

Lisa Lashes is the undisputed Queen of the decks. Heralded as the world's best female DJ and the world's best Hard Dance DJ (Top 100 DJs Poll 2007) she continues to storm clubs around the globe with her blend of hard house, techno and breaks. After 11 years of satisfying clubbers around the world she has finally released her debut album 'Lisa Lashes' on her own label entitled Lashed Records. Not stopping there, clubbers are in for a trip back to the old school with Lisa launching her mix of 'The Very best of Extreme Euphoria' which includes 3cds of classic anthems.
Mid-way through a global tour with Anne Savage I Like Music caught up with the very lovely Lisa Lashes to chat about choosing records, becoming a world class DJ and mixing and scratching with your boob. (if you're a girl!)
''I Like Music because.... it makes me feel happy, joyous and music makes the world go round! Lisa Lashes
ILM: You and Anne Savage are touring globally together. The pairing of the world's two biggest female DJs continues into 2008, finishing in Miami. What's it like going on tour with someone else? Have you had a laugh?
Lisa: It can be quite lonely going and doing the tours on your own. Quite often my friends will come with me if there is a spare seat or whatever, but, if its long haul and you're away (for example - we've just been in Canada) then you can't really get many of your friends to come away for that long, because they've obviously got normal jobs and they work in the week. To go away on your own can be quite daunting. Meeting new promoters and new clubs can be a bit scary really. I've been quite enjoying having a friend like Anne to go in with to be honest. Just at the airport and the flights, it's quite nice to have somebody there.
It's been fab having Anne there and doing shows and that with her. We've tried to do this for years and years. We played in South Africa ten years ago in Cape Town. A back-to-back thing that we weren't supposed to do but we were like, 'ooo lets try it!' and we did it, and we've been wanting to do it ever since. Because of our diaries it wasn't possible, but now Anne is on my label so we've been able to do it! We roughed up our manager and said we wanted a tour together and he made it happen!
This weekend I'm playing on my own for the first time since, because we started in Ibiza at the closing parties, so this weekend was the first time I did one gig on my own and I was quite frightened without Anne. It was a bit strange doing it on my own! I've been used to having a pal there, having a bit more fun and a bit more of a relaxed time behind the decks.
ILM: Your debut album - Lisa Lashes is out now. Which track did you enjoy laying down in the studio most?
Lisa: I kinda like 'Has It Come To This' because I was doing the whispery vocals on it and I was working with BK and we just had so much fun. When I go down there it's not just a day in the studio. I do a couple of days in the studio and stay down there in his new house. He's just had a new baby so I can't use my usual guest room, I have to stay somewhere else! But I like going down to London from Leicester to see the crew down there in the studio. Ben's a brilliant producer and I've enjoyed working with him really on lots of tracks on the album.
Because I'm whispery speaking on it - not singing (you wouldn't want to hear me singing!) I quite enjoyed that tune. It's kind of like a middle of the road tune, but I think, in a big club, it needs to be played in a proper set to accommodate that, because, it's not hard house, it's more kind of house-y, trance-y - I don't really know how to describe it - but it needs to be played out nice and loud on a big sound system.
I never ever used to play my own tunes, but now people aren't making that many and I'm happy to. It's a good thing, because I quite like it now. Before, people would play my tunes like 'Looking Good' in a set before me and be like 'Oh sorry' and I'd be like, 'No play it, because I wont play it anyway!' Before I did the album I felt like when I made a tune and saw it on the computer that it was just colours on the screen and not real music! But I'm coming round to it...but I still have that with my own tunes, I'm kind of embarrassed, I don't feel like they're good enough or real - but obviously they are - I should do more of that really shouldn't I?
ILM: You should. So, can you describe your process of making music for this album?
Lisa: I don't have a process. With the album I didn't intentionally go in to make an album. I went into the studio over a few years with a lot of different producers and engineers because I enjoyed it - making tracks and stuff. I'd go on the decks the night before and find what I liked and I probably had some bits n pieces and snippets I liked anyway and then I'd go to the studio.
But I didn't go in to make an album and in three years I've made 26 tracks. When I booked into my manager and agent they were like, 'you've been going into the studio, where are all these tracks?' and I was like 'I've got 26 of them' and they were like, 'get us twelve – that's an album'. So I went back into the studio to re-edit, because they were all tracks that were like 8-9 minutes long and I can only do 4-5 minutes on an album for each tune.
That was the longest process, having to edit them all down. Also picking out the 12 tracks I wanted - this one or not? Do I put the couple of breaks tunes on? If I do, should I put them at the beginning or the end? It's really tricky to fine tune it. I had to think about the people who would buy my album, who are mostly people into hard house and so, if I was to put breaks at the beginning, would they switch it off? So the breaks are in the middle. It invites you in, then there's a bit of breaks and then house at the end.
ILM: The Very Best Of Extreme Euphoria has just been released – you spent weeks in the studio sifting through 100's of tracks to find the finest anthems for this mix, settling on 50 of the very best. How did you find the ones that made the grade? Were you working to a certain criteria?
Lisa: I've moved house, so I got rid of loads of vinyl, but the vinyl that I saved is the best stuff and I spent weeks and weeks listening to that. I kept putting tunes on the decks and just forgetting and dancing to them and being like 'oh yeah...I love this tune' and forgetting I was trying to find tunes for an album! It actually took me hours and hours, but I had so much fun. Also, just asking my friends, 'what do you remember from ten years ago?' and 'what's your favourite tune?'
So that is 3CD's of old hard house anthems and I loved doing that. I had something like 170 to choose from and I only needed 50 or something...so I was trying to snip it...two minutes for each track! Haha! It actually took me eight days in the studio to get it all down and edit them and put them all together. When it was all over, I was like 'thank God for that!'
ILM: You're now ranked as both the world's best female DJ and the world's best hard dance DJ (Top 100 DJs Poll 2007), how does that feel?
Lisa: That kind of chart is more important to promoters abroad...I don't know... Obviously I'm pleased that it's happened but I kind of get a bit shy about it really. I don't think that I'm the best, but I know that I work hard and deserve to be in that category. It is nice to have people say that about you. I don't like the accolade of that, but thank you - that's all good!
I think it's more to do with promotions abroad though, because they book DJ's for where they are in the poll. I'm already sorted for next year, Poland, Denmark and Norway and places like that who haven't heard of me that I can play at, so that's starting to open up for me and I'm thankful for that.
ILM: What advice do you have for young fresh DJs starting out, particularly girls?
Lisa: I've heard that in Uni's, schools and the curriculum you can take up DJ'ing which I think is fantastic, because it is a career and I've been doing it ten years and it's not just the couple of hours that you're playing, it is a full time job. I work every day including weekends. There are people who think it's just those four hours that you play - i wish it was! It would be fantastic - but unfortunately it's not.
ILM: Kim from our office loves filthy breaks and loves you. She saw you play a breaks set once and reckons she saw you drop in a record with your boob. Did this actually happen?! Male DJs can't do that! Discuss…
Lisa: Hahah! Yeah, I did! That's one of the things we can do! I imagine the guy would get chucked out if he tried to do it with his willy though! Haha! I can scratch with it when I get a little bit drunk too, but its not the best thing, because you might get caught up...!!
ILM: You are heavily involved in promoting the Pink Ribbon breast cancer charity through your role as a patron. How did that come about?
They just contacted me and asked if I'd do some parties for them. I give them my fee for DJ'ing and I go down and do their parties and get more people in and make some money for them really. It's a cause that is close to me; one of my friends died from it a couple of years ago and I know all about it. It's a brilliant charity.
ILM: You've recently launched a new label, Lashed Music. What are your plans for the label?
Lisa: I'm going to be releasing some of the tracks on the album and getting people to do some remixes. I think I'm ready to do my third release now. I'm in the process of moving labels and, the label I worked with went bust, so Lashed Music was on hold, but I'm all ready for 2008.
ILM: Can you describe your ideal night out and your ideal night in?
Lisa: My ideal night in was like last night. I had a bottle of red wine and I watched the Good Shepherd with Matt Damon on DVD with my boyfriend - in my new house. I only moved in a few months ago and I'm hardly ever home.
My ideal night out would be at The Custard Factory in Birmingham. I recently went to see the Stanton Warriors, they did a breaks night over there and I went out with my girly crew - all my friends who I don't get to see very often.
ILM: Can you name one piece of software or hardware you couldn't do without?
Lisa: I suppose it has to be my Cubase really. I couldn't listen to any music without that!
ILM: What are your plans for the New Year?
Lisa: At the moment I've got a mixture of things. From Boxing Day being in Wales, then Scotland on the 27th, 28th Ireland, 29th Norway and 30th I think I'm going to Korea - which I'm still fine tuning at the moment - and for New Years I think I'm going to be abroad somewhere - if not then I'm not sure. Everything is being booked so late at the moment, so I'm just waiting to get it all down.

HeadlinesSocial Media Impacts Authentic Leadership- 4/18/2012Now more than ever, there are great social-enterprise networking tools for leaders to create and nourish connections. Along with mobile access, these internal social networks afford leaders an amazing, real-time, all-the-time connection to their employees, to the issues facing the business, to new product ideas and to every aspect of the business. Karl Meinhardt, author of The Leaders' New Clothes: The Naked Truths of Leadership, discusses authentic leadership for the social enterprise in his article "Return On Relationships." The article appears in the Spring 2012 issue of Welding & Gases Today, the leading magazine for the gases and welding equipment industry. In his book, Meinhardt outlines seven "Naked Truths of Authentic Leadership." The first of these is about how leaders are perceived by those they lead. It states that: "Perception is all there is—you are the leader you are perceived to be." How a leader is perceived by employees affects the culture inside the organization. Meinhardt says, "Imagine being more than just perceived as, but instead KNOWN to be, an engaged leader who listens to, interacts with and learns from the employees in the organization. That is the definition of authentic leadership. The impact of such authenticity would be far reaching and better than any perception of one as a leader." Meinhardt adds, "It's no secret that the way we communicate inside the organization is rapidly changing with the advent of social organizations. Leaders can authentically participate for a maximum return on relationship, or they can be perceived as disconnected, uninterested or not present." Meinhardt is a featured speaker at the upcoming Gases and Welding Distributors Association 2012 Spring Management Conference in Baltimore, Maryland. He will deliver his presentation "The Chaos of Social Media" during the business session on Tuesday, May 1. To learn about Meinhardt's metrics of authentic leadership, read "Return On Relationships" at Welding & Gases Today Online.

however, today when i went to pick up my order, i noticed when i got home that they actually gave me the NEW r&c game: crack in time, a 60$ game.
should i keep it and just enjoy it, or be honest and try to return/exchange it for the correct one? since they're different games, their customer service might not even believe me now that i've left the store.

The 2.0-liter, aluminum-alloy i-VTEC® 4-cylinder engine is remarkably smooth, making it a joy to rev up to 6500 rpm where it produces 150 hp.
This is the same 201-horsepower, 2.4-liter, aluminum-alloy i-VTEC® 4-cylinder engine that has been so well praised in the TSX for its high output and sporting character.
The ILX Hybrid is powered by the Integrated Motor Assist (IMA)® System which has been designed on the premise that much of an engine's power is only used during acceleration or on steep inclines. Thus, the system incorporates a 1.5-liter, 8-valve, i-VTEC® 4-cylinder gasoline engine along with an electric motor. The small, efficient engine operates alone when cruising at a steady speed while the electric motor assists the engine when additional power is required.
The 5-speed Sequential SportShift automatic with paddle shifters gives you the best of both worlds by providing the convenience of precise and intuitive automatic shifting as well as shift-for-yourself control.
For those who enjoy getting the most out of a high-revving engine, the ILX matches its 201-hp, 2.4-liter engine with a 6-speed, close-ratio manual transmission. Six ratios make it easy to keep the ILX in your favorite part of the engine's rev band, while the smoothness of the linkage makes shifting a joy.
The ILX Hybrid is equipped with a continuously variable transmission (CVT). The CVT works like that of a multi-speed bicycle, in which different ratios are achieved by changing the size of gears on each side of a chain. Yet instead of a chain with multiple gears on each end, the transmission uses a metal push-belt, running between a pair of pulleys that continuously vary their diameter.
The ILX uses a combination of MacPherson struts for the front suspension and a multi-link arrangement in the rear. Using a strut-style front suspension makes more room available for crash reinforcement, and the multi-link rear suspension helps maximize second-row seating and cargo space—all while providing outstanding handling and ride quality.
The ILX steering system is a good example of the subtle ways a luxury car differentiates itself from more conventional vehicles.
The four-wheel disc brakes are designed with several subtle enhancements to improve their performance over conventional cars of the same size.
Though not apparent to the naked eye, body structure is one of the best examples of what distinguishes the ILX from conventional cars of its size.
A variety of measures were taken to ensure the ILX delivers the refined ride of a luxury road car.
Premium and Technology Package models are equipped with a multi-view rear camera that automatically gives you a choice of three different images of what's behind the vehicle when "reverse" is engaged.
Premium and Technology Package-equipped ILX models have Xenon High-Intensity Discharge (HID) headlights for the low beams.
The sophistication of the ILX interior begins with the plush feel of the seats, which are ergonomically designed to provide the comfort and support needed even after a long journey.
The ILX comfortably seats three passengers in the back, while a generously sized door provides them with easy access.
The ILX trunk is a large and easily accessible area with plenty of usable space.
The ILX has many easily accessible storage areas throughout the cabin to make life more convenient on the go.
The ILX dual-zone, automatic climate control system allows the driver and front passenger to create their own microclimates.
The automatic climate control system benefits from a GPS-linked solar sensor10 on models equipped with the Technology Package.
The ILX dashboard sports the dual-cockpit design found on all Acura models. With its elegant shapes, refined materials and intuitive functionality, it was smartly designed to enhance your driving enjoyment.
The Voice Recognition feature that accompanies the optional Acura Navigation System10 allows you to perform the most frequently used functions of the audio, climate control, and navigation systems without ever taking your hands off the wheel.
The Bluetooth®11 HandsFreeLink® system works with many Bluetooth-enabled cell phones to let you receive and initiate phone calls through the ILX audio system without ever taking your hands off the wheel.
For more details, please visit the Acura HandsFreeLink minisite.
Acura has redirected the temptation to engage in hand-held texting with an integrated SMS text message function44 that enables you to respond to incoming text messages in a manner that helps mitigate any potential driver distraction.
The Keyless Access System with Smart Entry and pushbutton ignition allows you to walk up to the ILX, unlock the doors, and start the engine without ever having to take the key out of your pocket.
Models without the navigation system are equipped with a 5-inch, full-color, center display screen that offers a variety of information.
The easy-to-operate, standard ILX audio system offers clear, dynamic sound with 160 watts of power and six speakers around the cabin. The system on Premium models adds 200 watts of power, an 8-inch subwoofer and XM® Radio4capability. A large display at the top of the instrument panel provides detailed audio information.
Both systems can accommodate a wide variety of audio sources, which include:
Grammy® award-winning recording engineer and producer Elliot Scheiner helped design the Acura/ELS Surround®32 Premium 10-speaker Sound System to reproduce music the way it is heard in the recording studio. As a result, surround sound fills the car from any stereo digital source. In addition to all the source inputs of the standard ILX audio system, features of the Acura/ELS system include:
In the ILX, you can take your digital music library along for the ride on your iPod, USB flash drive or compatible phone. You can even have your own personal DJ with Pandora®45 loaded on an iPhone.
The Song By Voice™ feature uses the Voice Recognition system to help the ILX driver find music from the hard disk drive or a USB7-connected iPod®8 simply by voicing a preference.
The centerpiece of the Technology Package, the Acura Navigation System10, in conjunction with the AcuraLink® Communication System, is perhaps the best driving companion since the invention of the car radio.
The AcuraLink Real-Time Traffic™13 feature helps you steer clear of gridlock by providing continuously updated traffic information in major metropolitan areas across the 48 contiguous United States.
You can determine the weather conditions in your immediate area or anywhere you plan to be with the Acura Navigation System's10 AcuraLink Real-Time Weather™ system13. It will even alert you if a potential weather-related issue exists along your plotted route.
To keep you up to date with the latest information related to your ILX, this easy-to-use proprietary data network uses the XM® Radio4 communications interface. Some of the features available through AcuraLink®10 include:
The Acura Navigation System10 has an extensive database of addresses and points of interest for a variety of handy information.
The Acura Navigation System10 will not only tell you where restaurants are and how to get to them, it can also tell you their price range and provide customer reviews.
The ILX is equipped with a sophisticated six-airbag system, which includes two front and two front side airbags, and two side curtain airbags with coverage for the front and outboard rear seats. Advanced sensors and inflator systems are designed so that the airbags can deploy at the right time with the appropriate force.
All five seating positions in the ILX have 3-point belts and head restraints. The front seats also have load-limiting tensioners.
The ILX has several features addressing child safety, from sophisticated airbag sensors to anchors that secure child seats.
Acura utilizes Advanced Compatibility Engineering™ (ACE™) body structure to enhance occupant protection and crash compatibility in frontal crashes.
The ILX disc brakes are backed up by several sophisticated electronic systems to provide you with enhanced braking under any circumstance.
The Vehicle Stability Assist™ (VSA®)12 system uses an array of sensors along with ABS to minimize the dangers of oversteer or understeer.
Since an under-inflated tire impedes handling and can be a safety hazard, the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) uses a sensor to determine if a tire's pressure is outside an acceptable range.
Like every Acura model, the ILX comes equipped with a security system. In the event of a break-in, the following events will occur:
* Prices shown do not include taxes, license or a $895 destination and handling charge. Actual vehicle/accessory costs, labor and installation vary. Dealers set their own prices. Please consult your selected dealer. Vehicle shown may differ from actual vehicle to be sold.
** Based on EPA mileage estimates, as applicable. Use for comparison purposes only. Your actual mileage will vary, depending on how you drive and maintain your vehicle.

For the first time this season, Bell Centre fans go home happy on a Saturday night.
Goals by Brendan Gallagher, David Desharnais and, in the third period, Tom Plekanec and Rene Bourque sealed the deal.
But the win could be costly: Brandan Gallagher, chosen as first star of the game, didn't come out to toss pucks.
Gallagher was injured during the game, as were Max Pacioretty, Colby Armstrong and Alexei Emelin.
Canadiens had a 29-19 shot advantage but were outhit 32-20, which might account for the injuries.

CHU vs. ETF Alternatives
Company Description
Currently, there's no company description for CHU.
- All
- | Earnings
- | Dividends
- | On the move
- Monday, May 20, 2:03 PM Apple (AAPL +1.9%) roundup: 1) Brian White cites Chinese 3G growth as a reason for his $888 PT: he points out China's 3G sub base rose 83% Y/Y in April to 293.1M, and is expected to hit 375M-400M by year's end. China Mobile (CHL - previous) had 120M 3G subs; China Unicom (CHU) had 92M, and China Telecom (CHA) 81M. 2) Taiwan's Economic Times reports Apple is testing 1.5" OLED displays for an iWatch, and that "market rumors" indicate Foxconn has received iWatch trial production orders. 3) Digitimes reports MacBook orders are expected to grow 20% Q/Q in Q2, as Apple launches new systems sporting Intel Haswell CPUs at June's WWDC conference. 17 Comments [Tech]
- Wednesday, May 8, 12:40 PM The Chinese government is expected to issue 4G TD-LTE licenses by year's end, writes Morgan Stanley's Katy Huberty in a bullish note on Apple (AAPL +1.2%). The licenses could pave the way for China Mobile (CHL), which has 700M+ subs and is spending $6.75B this year on its TD-LTE network (still in trial mode), to begin selling the iPhone. One potential roadblock: China Unicom (CHU) and China Telecom (CHA) want the government to take its time in issuing TD-LTE licenses. CHA wants to delay its 4G capex, and both carriers are supporting the FDD-LTE standard (far more popular outside of China). (AAPL/CHL agreement) 6 Comments [Tech]
- Tuesday, May 7, 1:37 PM Sina (SINA -2.5%) gives back yesterday's gains after Tencent (TCEHY.PK) says it has reached "preliminary solutions" with Chinese mobile carriers (CHL, CHU, CHA) regarding its very popular WeChat mobile IM platform, which both generates heavy traffic and eats into text-messaging revenue (China Mobile's text revenue fell 4.8% last year). That's likely raising fears Sina might have to pay carriers for the traffic produced by Weibo, arguably WeChat's top rival. Tencent has said it's unlikely to charge WeChat users. Comment! [Tech, On the Move]
- Thursday, April 25, 5:57 AM China Unicom (CHU): Q1 Net profit of 1.9B yuan (+89% Y/Y). Comment! [Earnings, Breaking News]
- Tuesday, April 16, 6:28 PM Get used to slowing China growth, J.P. Morgan says in noting disappointing GDP data "underscore the challenge facing an economy burdened with overcapacity." While Chinese stocks are cheap at 9.7x 2013 earnings, the weak data suggests earnings estimates might be too high. The firm thinks investors in China should stick with defensive stocks such as Sinopec (SNP) and China Unicom (CHU). Comment! [Global & FX, Quick Ideas]
- Monday, April 8, 12:33 PM After a Chinese government official suggested Tencent (TCEHY.PK) will "have to pay fees" to mobile carriers (CHA, CHL, CHU) for the use of its extremely popular WeChat mobile IM/social networking platform, Tencent tells its users it's unlikely to charge for WeChat. Much like their European peers, Chinese carriers have seen their text messaging revenue pressured by the adoption on Web-based services such as WeChat. Sina (SINA) recently admitted WeChat, which now has 300M+ registered accounts, has been affecting Weibo usage. Comment! [Tech]
- Friday, March 22, 3:00 AM China Unicom Hong Kong (CHU): Q4 net profit jumps to 1.64B yuan ($264M) from 14M yuan a year earlier and beats consensus of 1.41B yuan. Revenue +20% to 63.7B yuan vs estimates of 65.5B yuan. Had 76.5M 3G subscribers at the end of December and total mobile customers of 239.3M. Shares +4.6% in Hong Kong. (PR) Comment! [Earnings, Tech, Consumer]
- Wednesday, March 6, 6:31 PM After expanding the reach of its fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) network by 33M households in 2012, China Telecom (CHA) wants to expand it by another 25M in 2013. Rival China Unicom (CHU) is also aggressive: it brought its FTTH network to 15.2M new households last year, and wants to add 10M this year. CHA and CHU respectively added 15.7M and 8.2M broadband subs in 2012, and hope to add 15M and 9M in 2013. With China now sporting over 1.1B mobile subs, CHA and CHU are increasingly counting on broadband and 3G data services to drive growth. Comment! [Tech]
- Wednesday, March 6, 4:56 AM China plans to issue 4G network licenses by the end of 2013, Industry & Information Technology Minister Miao Wei has said. "China has made breakthroughs in R&D of 4G technologies, but is still facing restrictions in commercial use," Miao said. China Mobile (CHL) has already begun 4G trials in several Chinese cities. 3 Comments [Tech, Consumer]
- Wednesday, January 9, 1:39 PM The Chinese government is thinking of opening the country's mobile market up to virtual carriers (MVNOs) who would offer services based on capacity leased from incumbents China Mobile (CHL), China Unicom (CHU), and China Telecom (CHA). Such a policy change could open up a lucrative new revenue stream for the incumbents and perhaps (thanks to new pricing models) stoke 3G/data services adoption, but also carries the risk of increasing price competition. 2 Comments [Tech]
- Friday, December 28, 2012, 1:24 PM China's telecom ministry says it will "earnestly complete the preparatory work for [4G] LTE frequency distribution and license-granting" in 2013. Does that mean 4G licenses will be issued at least on the early side of the 2014-2015 timeframe government officials have suggested? China Mobile (CHL), which is building a huge 4G trial network, must hope so. So must base station supplier Alcatel-Lucent and 4G baseband chipmakers Qualcomm and Sequans. Comment! [Tech]
- Wednesday, December 26, 2012, 5:52 PM Just days after China Mobile began selling Nokia's (NOK) Lumia 920T, a leaked pricing chart suggests rival China Unicom (CHU) will soon begin offering the regular Lumia 920. According to the chart, the 920 will cost CNY4,599 ($738) unsubsidized, but will be available for free in exchange for a 3-year contract for a plan costing $46/month or more, or a 2-year contract for a plan costing $62/month or more - for reference, Unicom's 3G services ARPU only amounted to $14.25 in Q3. 23 Comments [Tech]
- Wednesday, December 19, 2012, 5:56 PM China Unicom (CHU) added 3.25M users to its 3G network in November, increasing its total to over 73M. That's roughly even with the 3.2M added in October, and likely a sign of further 3G share gains. The fact CHU is the only Chinese carrier to use the widely-adopted W-CDMA 3G standard gives it an edge in phone selection. CHU has said it expects to sell 140M 3G phones next year - those sales benefit Qualcomm, which collects royalties on them (unlike with 2G-only phones). Bigger rival China Mobile (CHL) expects to sell 100M+ TD-SCDMA 3G phones in 2013. Comment! [Tech]
- Sunday, December 16, 2012, 9:23 PM Over 2M iPhone 5 units have been sold thus far in China, Apple (AAPL) boasts. China Unicom's (CHU) healthy pre-order activity probably had a lot to do with this figure. Sparse crowds for the Friday launch stoked fears initial sales were light, but weather and pre-ordering requirements seem to have played a role. For reference, Apple announced in September over 5M iPhone 5 units had been sold 3 days after the device went on sale in the U.S., Japan, and 7 other locales. (PR) 56 Comments [Tech]
- Tuesday, December 11, 2012, 11:05 AM Apple (AAPL +3.1%) has bounced to $546 with the help of positive analyst commentary. While Morgan Stanley talks up potential iTV interest, JPMorgan is raising its forecast for Q4 AT&T (T) iPhone activations to 8M from 7M. Also, ISI's Brian Marshall is expecting a strong Chinese iPhone 5 launch - China Unicom (CHU) just announced its pre-orders have topped 300K. (Apple Monitor) 21 Comments [Tech, On the Move, Quick Ideas]
- Friday, December 7, 2012, 4:09 PM Days after Nokia (NOK) announced China Mobile would sell two Windows Phone 8 models, Microsoft (MSFT) has announced a Windows Phone partnership with China Unicom (CHU). Analysts estimate WP accounted for only 3% of the Chinese smartphone market in Q3, ahead of the WP8 launches. Separately, Microsoft says it's launching 14 innovation centers in India this week to create a larger base of technical workers familiar with its software, and wants to launch 100 in the country over the next 2 years.

O'Brien: A One Hit Wonder?
By: Aaron Cheslock
Updated: November 24, 2012
STATE COLLEGE, CENTRE COUNTY - There's a lot of talk that Bill O'Brien, the Nittany Lion Head Coach could field offers from NFL teams this
offseason. He hasn't given a definitive yes or no when asked if he'd consider leaving Penn State. But some Penn State fans, like
Dave Herzing from Dubois, think he'll stick it out here, even if the NFL does come calling.
"I think he's somebody that's going to honor his commitment to the university, I think he's done an outstanding job. He's in
the conversation for coach of the year, candidacy. Um I just don't see him going anywhere else right now."

Challenger: Roleplaying Game Core Rules
by David Dostaler
Price: Free! 124120 words.
Published on September 14, 2011. .
A new Challenger is here...
This is a pen and paper tabletop roleplaying game, not a computer game. If you're looking for one of those, I'm afraid you'll have to look elsewhere. I highly recommend the dungeon-crawling German rogue-like "Lost Labyrinth" which is free to download and a purely awesome game.
If you're interested in the RPG, you've come to the right place.

By2 months ago
For anyone unfamiliar with the event Slutwalk, the name itself is enough to stir controversy and raise a few questions. To give some background, the Slutwalk movement began in Toronto on April 3rd, 2011 after a representative of the Toronto Police gave insight into the Force's view of sexual assault, stating: "women should avoid dressing like sluts in order not to be victimized."
This statement carried enough weight to start a spark in the hearts of many because unfortunately, this officer's views are not out of the ordinary. Today's culture teaches girls and women that in...

I tried about 15 pairs of shoes before I found these. I was looking for a flat shoe with both style and comfort. Most shoes have comfort and zero style or all style and zero comfort. These were perfect. The style with the lace up in the back reminds me of a lot of the Cole Haan shoes that are out now. These were more comfortable. I'm also supposed to wear wide shoes due to a neuroma in my foot and these are fine and do not pinch.

I love the look of these shoes but they were not comfortable on me. The top rounded edge was digging into the top of my foot. Unfortunately, I had to return them.

Around the toe area is a little tight but these shoes stretch slightly after the second wear, which allowed them to be comfortable. Beautiful shoe with jeans or dressy!

Comfortable shoes true to size, not good for a person with narrow instep and wide toe box. There is excessive room at the instep area. It would be great to find more shoes in 10 narrow. I usually use a men's shoe stretcher for widening the toe area in most of my shoes.

Love these -- got them in black, size 9, and they're very comfy and cute. A lot of flats cut you at the heel, but these don't. The sole has just enough padding to be soft without being so thick that it looks like you're wearing a "comfort" shoe.

Claude Coryea and Carolyn McGuiness, both of Rome first became interested in sailing when they decided life was too short not to savor every moment.
"I have always been in the water," said Coryea. "I used to do off-shore sailing in New Jersey. My main love at that time was deep-sea fishing. I had a fishing boat and we would go out and troll."
"After I retired, I got into sailboarding," said Coryea. "Then after that I got into sailing."
McGuiness became interested in sailing while living in the Florida Keys.
"I actually started in 1976, the year of the Bicentennial celebration," said McGuiness. "I had friends who lived in Coconut Grove. And they said, 'there is a guy here looking for crew to go to New York City for the Bicentennial.' and I said, 'Oh I can do that!' And I had never sailed in my life!"
"It was something," said McGuiness. "We took six months. We took our time because it was so beautiful going up in the intercoastal route."
"So that was my introduction to sailing," said McGuiness. "And from that, I had a friend down there and he said 'I will take you to the Bahamas' and I said 'Okay, I would love to go to the Bahamas.' Off we went on another six months trip. We would work six months and then we would cruise for six months."
"We traveled all through the Bahama Islands and of course all the keys," said McGuiness. "When you came back to the keys, you could get a job tomorrow working in a restaurant and make $100 a night. We would paint, we would do whatever it took. I was young, 27 years old and life was free and wonderful. I was very adept at sailing."
McGuinees actually inspired another young couple to do the same thing before they had a family.
"They lived across the street from me," said McGuiness. "I told them about my experience. They took a year to travel the intercoastal, the Bahamas and they Keys. They had a great life."
During her travels, however, McGuiness said she encountered children traveling with their parents who were often home schooled. She noted they were extremely intelligent, "knew every nook and cranny" of their boats and sailing and therefore, could not help but benefit from the experience.
Today, McGuiness enjoys piloting her boat, The Osprey, which was the name of the vessel when she purchased it.
"My other boat was the Sloop du jour ," said McGuiness. "We were in the restaurant business and we had the Soup du jour (Soup of the Day) That boat we owned had one sloop du jour. This was the Sloop of the day."
Both Coryea and McGuiness have enjoyed their experience with the Rome Sailing Club.
"Absolutely," said Coryea. "I don't know of anybody who is not a congenial member. Everybody likes to help out. They have every type of situation and problems, just like any other club."
Coryea said they would also encourage others to become involved in sailing.
"We have classes here," said Coryea. "In fact, we had one last week. Tony Cellamare instructed a class here last week for newcomers and people who have been here for years. He went right through the rudiments of sailing, terminology."
Coryea now spends his days piloting the Maillot Jeune, which is French for Yellow Jersey. Coryea shared some advice for prospective sailors.
"Get as much practice as you can," said Coryea. "Start sailing with people here."
"Usually, people say that it is best to go sailing with somebody before you buy," said Coryea. "I have heard people say that for a a newcomer, somebody that says 'Well let's go sailing, I have never sailed before," often come back and either like it or don't care about coming back."
Coryea was pleased with the 2012 Weiss Lake Regatta.
"We've got a good breeze today," said Coryea. "I was afraid it was going to be flatter. That is about six or seven knots. They are going to have fun out there."
"A lot of people came in from different parts of the state and country," said Coryea. "It is good they won't be disappointed and can at least get out there and sail and not wait around in hot weather for a breeze."
"A lot of them follow the races and will have to be somewhere else next week," said Coryea.
McGuiness said she has enjoyed her experience with the Rome Sailing Club as well.
"Oh yes, absolutely," said McGuiness. "It is so nice to be around boats, water and people that don't talk work. I work for lawyers. We don't talk about the law. We talk about how the weather is. And what we are going to eat tonight. It is a great place to be."
Coryea said his next project is to explore the nooks and crannies of Weiss Lake and its tributaries.

"No that's not fair. That's outrageous! They shouldn't be doing that," says Marie Shell who opposes CVS's latest health plan.
CVS pharmacy is under scrutiny after instituting a new health care plan. The company will now require all insured workers to get a wellness exam. That information will reveal their weight, body fat and glucose levels.
"Just because you might be heavy why does it matter where you're working" says Arianna Raboy who opposes the plan.
If employees opt out of the program they'll pay an extra $600 a year for coverage. That's $50 a month. CVS says the goal is to help employees improve their health and manage health-associated costs. That has patient privacy right groups speaking out.
"They may want a healthier workforce, but they're going about it in a destructive way that really offends people and violates their privacy" says Dr. Deborah Peel, the president of Patient Privacy Rights.
Kevin Hamilton works with The Clinica of Sierra Vista. He says this program is aimed at changing the way Americans view their own health.
"The employer is invested in you. If I have to train an employee because you're sick or you leave...that costs me a lot more money if I am the employer" says Hamilton.
CVS says all results will be kept private and not shared within the company. That's a price some central valley residents are willing to pay.
CVS says the new plan goes into effect next year. The company also says it'll pay for the wellness exam.

ESPN insider thinks Jay Gruden will be Arizona Cardinals new head coach
The Arizona Cardinals are one of only two teams who are still looking for a new head coach. But they do appear to be taking steps forward.
Team brass interviewed Seattle Seahawks offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell on Wednesday and are tentatively set to meet with Indianapolis Colts OC Bruce Arians on Thursday.
ESPN insider John Clayton told Arizona Sports 620's Doug & Wolf Wednesday which coaching options could still be viable for the Cardinals.
"When you look at what's there for the Arizona Cardinals they still can maybe get a Bruce Arians, they can still maybe get a Jay Gruden," Clayton said. "I don't know where it stands with Todd Haley but you don't get good vibes about that."
Clayton does think there is a frontrunner for the Cardinals coaching vacancy -- and it's a guy who has already been interviewed.
"I still think in the end it's going to be Jay Gruden," Clayton said. "I can't see Bruce Arians wanting to just get a head coaching job. I mean this guy; he's got a great situation. Why leave Andrew Luck? He's that good." Clayton believes Arians will get plenty of offers next offseason and has no reason to rush into a situation -- particularly if it ends up being a poor fit.
"If you're attached to Andrew Luck and you are as good as coach as [Arians] is why leave him? You'll get offers next year," Clayton said.
Even if the Cardinals made Arians an offer, Clayton is not convinced he will accept.
"If you don't feel comfortable with the coaches that you can work with, you can pick and choose," Clayton explained. "I would not doubt that [Arians] can get that offer but also too what I would question is whether he would take it if he can't have everything that he wants."
Clayton believes the Cardinals' unsettled quarterback situation has cost them many potential candidates.
"It's still a perception that you're judged on what quarterbacks you have. If it didn't work out with Kevin Kolb, which it hasn't worked out with the other quarterbacks, you're going to be down the list," Clayton said.

Staff Report
LONDONDERRY A good Samaritan, who stopped to give someone a ride Wednesday night in Londonderry, had her car stolen by the hitchhiker.
Vermont State Police said that Stacey Bonang, 45, of Weston, picked up a woman hitchhiker on Route 11, near the Mill Restaurant in Londonderry. Bonang gave the woman a ride to the Londonderry Plaza, and Bonang left the woman alone in her vehicle when the woman requested to make a private phone call.
At this point, the female locked the doors and drove off, the police report stated. Bonangs vehicle, a maroon 2012 Subaru Forester with Vermont registration FSH112, was later found Thursday morning crashed into a tree on Route 100 in Weston, near Piper Hill Road.
Bonang reported her car stolen at 8:40 p.m.
The hitchhiker was described as 5 foot, 5 inches tall, with a slender build, wearing a black jacket and dark hair tucked up into a hat. The woman was wearing jeans and boots, with the jeans tucked into the boots. The hitchhiker was wearing glasses.
Anyone with information about the unknown woman is asked to call the Vermont State Police, Rockingham barracks, at (802)-875-2112.
Police reminded motorists that picking up hitchhikers, although a kind gesture, can be a dangerous activity. Police recommended that people not pick up hitchhikers, or if they do, use extreme caution.MORE IN This Just InStaff Report Full StoryCSC held its commencement ceremony Saturday.

Don't bother man. I do actually think he is upset, because he has been replying to each of my posts with 2 individual posts. It is rather odd.
I would have preferred had you not stopped us from getting a res, but you got some kills on our group and we got some kills on the creeps that stopped us. Can't complain about that.
I can complain about your constant disarms though. :P
Either you or devestated kept disarming me and I didn't have any wound pots. I think you were down to 1500 morale at one point when most of our group had wiped at lugz. I was trying to finish you, but those 5 seconds of disarm ended up being too much for my squishy rk

Wrong. Just sayin.
A few people were under that impression, based solely on the fact that him and I are (allegedly) never online at the same time. Kind of a moot point, since he quit, though -- see the Shiroyasha grats thread. He actually corpse-jumped me a couple times, on Braxdred, when I first started out. (Some people might remember me complaining about "Barxdred" a few weeks ago. Well, probably nobody will :P.)

Re: Adino!
Marry me?
</3 fine
Both sides are wrong.
Everybody chastises Adino because he doesn't lead raids the way everyone else wants. I, too, am not a huge fan of most of his tendencies and antics.
My point? If you think you can do better and if you think you know what is best for the community... why aren't you the one leading raids? Why aren't you stepping up?
And while I agree that voicing opinions and feelings on the way he impacts the Riddermoors community is acceptable, I'm starting to dislike the way everyone is always complaining (and yes, I am beginning to see comments more along the lines of complaints now rather than opinions) about the way he leads his raids.

Re: Adino!
Most peoples problem with him is that majority of the people in his raid don't come out unless he is out with a raid. Also, he says he wants pvp but he ninja's keep so much and so often that we have to continiously check the keeps to make sure he doesn't. Flipping a whole map blue near prime time effectively decreases the potential for that night. If he was more serious about wanting good pvp he would attempt to do somewhat balanced fights open field instead of calling out in glff for more freeps.

Re: Adino!
As a new PvMPer, you have to start somewhere. See my previous post:
The above is also applicable to new freeps. I'm sure you know that running out in the moors on an unranked freep is like ringing the creeps' dinner bell (the other night I got a nosebleed because I saw a seemingly solo newbie champ! I got excited).
I used to group up/raid with Gurtha all the time until I hit rank 6 on Akara... and look how I turned out... oh waitakara / skele

Re: Adino!
You can't expect everyone to solo from the minute they first enter the moors. And while I agree that he's not helping them to better their individual play and be a stable player both solo and raided up, he's providing the first thing new players look for: a way to escape being killed -- which is why newer players flock to him.

Re: Adino!
You still miss the point, Tbow. The hypocrisy of posting screenshots to show how callous and unmerciful freeps are toward low ranking creeps is what is in question here. You post these shots as a fail attempt to troll freeps and creeps and convince somebody, God only knows who, that a grievous offense has taken place and all should jump on the QQ band wagon and diss every freep that raids or does exactly what you do on creepside. Are these screenshots posted with the assumption that we will accept them as empirical and infallible evidence at the same time? That ain't happening. Who are you trying to convince???
Where are your screen shots of large craids zerging EC for one or two squishy freeps?
I know you have helped to zerg EC with more than just two or three creeps at a time. I have seen EC almost full to capacity with creeps that are hell bent on zerging just a couple of freeps, and I have seen you there. The attempt to minimize what creeps do by stating, "Little different that one or two creeps charging into EC to get a freep who is pew pewing them from the ramparts fool.", doesn't cut it. We all know that is hogwash!
As far as getting zerged while turning in a quest to get your precious map; how many times have freeps been zerged while turning in, or doing quests? Poor pitiful you!...
What I do know is that you used to be Adino's friend when you played on freepside; or was that just a fail attempt to fit in? What made you decide to change your attitude and start hating? You used to run in his raids.
As for people flipping sides to join a winning side, or a pve side (freepside to creepside, and back again); where is your condemnation of the other creeps that have done this on a regular basis? I am not defending Aza, he can defend himself. But I do note that this kind of trolling/criticism is selective at best and only reserved for those you care to offend, and that you are silent regarding those that you appear afraid to offend.
As for my writing style, that is my style of writing. I write like that for a living. As far as I am concerned, you can lump it if you don't like it. I otherwise don't give a creeps backside what you think of my writing style...See you in the Moors!

Re: Adino!
They can think for themselves. They chose how to play. Adino never forced them to raid, he never forced them to be raid babies, he never forced them to do anything. If I wanted to be a raid baby, I could change my playstyle in a heartbeat. Then if I wanted to be a soloer again, I could change that just as quickly.

WELL WELL WELL. If captain Rundamir from a Rank 0 warg isnt growing a set. Well done, Commander Fail About time you stuck up for yourself. Heres the problem. You talk about stuff like you actually do or mean or prove it. Ahem. Try again.
You want to talk about playstyles, darlin? Lets have a little chit chat about yours shall we? You seem to have no problem calling other people out for the way they play, but cry like a 2 year old toddler who phooed his diaper when someone talks about you.
Of all the people to talk about respectable playstyles, son...your the last. We rank you a rung above Evenia, Lofi, and Phyliss. You only get that extra rung because you still raid your way to victory and reknown. You talk a big game for someone who has never, that I have seen, been able to kill a single creep heads up..no matter rank. Oh the chuckles were flowing the other night when you hauled a$$ from a rank 2 reaver to Adinos bosom. Tell me, Rundamir, when your King calls out feeding time, are the bottles passed out in GV? Or is that a responsibility of you to bring? I imagine not, since sippy cups can be found at the vendor. Meh. ./shrug.
Talking about Adino and me, I am quite sure you dont need to put words in his mouth or fight his fight. Better leave that to the big boys. You keep on being adept at being you. Besides, we found a field of diseased piglets in Breeland more suited to your hunting style and skill level.

Re: Adino!
Why don't all 3 of you accept that your all wrong and move on with life. The argument is ridiculous, especially since none of you are willing to even admitt that you may or may not be wrong.
Tbow, for a person who says he doens't care about how others play, you sure do act like you do.
I need to stop posting and reading the forum posts, it seems to be unhealthy.

You seem to have an opinion on everything that does not involve you. Just an observation. Carry on

Re: Adino!
BAHAHAHAHA...C'mon, Tbow, you can do better than that.
I used to be able to kill creeps heads up without a problem. But, sadly, not as often since U6. Even other creeps have enough moxie to admit that they target hunters, and other squishies because we have poor mitigations and are easier to kill, and that they zerg EC in large numbers at times. I think you got a little bit of a sore butt because you got called on your hypocrisy. Tell you what, Tbow, you get on your hunter and go try to 1v1 a warg using the new buffs before you buck up.
You can laugh at me all you want, dude. I am glad I gave you something to chuckle about after all the sad QQing you have been laying out. If you think this reply is going to anger me then you are sadly mistaken. And yes, I got a little bit miffed when some creep troll decided to use my name in-game because I trolled heavy on one of your beloved creeps after he trolled me. Even the other creeps agreed that using someone's RL name in-game is dead wrong and going too far. I notice you decide to try and fall back on that as a legitimate argument. Nice try! I guess that means you are at wits end and can't come up with anything else. I will leave the diseased pigs for you to tackle. I wouldn't want to deprive you of any squishy ezmoder targets, you may want to get another warg or two to help you; don't forget to cc them and use your flayer stance and bubble.
Anyway, I posted what I needed to post. I won't reply to any more of your posts. I am sorry you are still unable to understand the gist of what my original reply was about, and I really thought you would appreciate the humor in the video I posted, but I guess not.Stars...We don't need no stinking Stars!

Re: Adino!
All I can say about this is don't hate and adhere to the Dark Side. Anger, fear and hatred tend to spread. While Adino has always been very helpful and supportive towards the members of the raids, it looks like he is now beginning to hate the creeps really badly and act sadistically at times. I haven't noticed that before the update. I guess it's partially caused by all the tells he's getting, these posts, etc. Here are a few memorable fresh Adino's quotes to cheer the haters up:
"Welcome to the Moors! Here's how we treat them!" (when a raid zerged a r0 reaver)
"Kill them all, chase them down like rats. I've never been chasing rats...or can we say I have since I've been chasing creeps?" (chuckles)
"Why is the map red again? One of you guys needs to step up and make sure it stays blue 24/7, even when I am not on".
Maybe if you gave him more respect and credit for being an awesome leader, he would also be nicer to you? The same is true for other freeps. When Adino left, most of the time the map was red, the freeps were greatly outnumbered, and many of the less experienced and badly-geared ones (not to mention lousy players) were suffering a lot. Naturally, after a few months of this torment many of them started wanting sweet revenge like hell, forgetting any moral principles. And now they are happy to team up and beat the creeps even in OC since they remember how they couldn't even leave GV without getting ganked by warg-packs. Payback time!
On a personal note, I can say that this phenomenon hasn't affected me much. Maybe it's because I was still able to solo efficiently and get a lot of kills/maintain my rating even at the worst time for the freeps. However, at some point the Moors became very boring to me. 1 vs 1 with hypocritical creeps (don't use skills; get ganked for nothing sometimes) are boring; getting ganked at EC is not fun; killing small groups (1-4) of weak creeps around the map gets you hated and called out; trying to capture keeps or fight in the open field leads to getting run over by a craid (since there were not fraids around). Hence, I am surprised that some people can't perceive this elementary idea: most people play in a certain way because they enjoy it, not because they are so bad they can't play any other way. I like fights in keeps more than on open terrain since keeps offer additional opportunities and add some excitement (will the tyrant go down, who's on the flag and so on). I prefer large group fights to 1 vs 1, although I can win like 95% of the 1 vs 1s (typing this disclaimer just to avoid hearing that stupid argument that people who don't like 1 vs 1 are simply bad at it). So, whenever I can engage in serious action with big numbers, I do it. When I can't, it's fine, I will just be running around solo.
P.S. For the sake of fairness, I would like to state that, in my opinion (the key phrase here), about 80% of the players in Adino's raids are really bad. They have no idea about team work, are undergeared, have low virtues, can't take advantage of the terrain, are cowardish, etc. However, like Akara has correctly pointed out, everyone needs to start from something. Yes, most noobs are indeed noobs and raid-babies. But it doesn't mean that any raided player sucks, or that any soloer is a hero. It depends. Besides, most people view LOTRO as a casual entertainment and have no ambitions to excel in it. So why blame them for being noobs? Also, everything is relative. People tend to define "bad" in comparison with their own level (or their self-esteem). Therefore, the best players on the server like to groan about how terrible everyone around them is only because they are (or because they think those people are) somewhat worse than them in terms of skill. But does that instantly make them BAD players?

Re: Adino!
Lmao, if anything this makes me like Adino even more. Guy's got a sense of humor. I mean I could say that he's a sociopath for dehumanizing players who just happened to choose the opposite faction, but instead I will assume that these comments were meant tongue-in-cheek and he doesn't really think that creeps are rats to be exterminated.
Otdanon, I agree with you. Most of the players that Adino brings out are casual players. They just wanna chill with their bros/spouses and have fun. They don't care who grouped with who or use cooldowns or store consumables or traited a certain way. They just wanna unwind after work and make freavers eat dirt. I get it. As long as you realize that the people you are killing are just that-- people.
