With the number of apps in Apple's App Store standing at more than 250,000 it's no surprise that there are a number of diabetes-related apps amongst them. Such apps require users to manually enter information such as glucose numbers, carbohydrate consumption, insulin dosages and activities to allow diabetics to better control the disease. A new plug-in attachment for the iPhone and iPod touch called the iBGStar takes things one step further by incorporating a blood glucose meter that allows users to view and analyze readings in 'real time'.Read More
This July, following the torrent of bad press surrounding the iPhone 4's antenna issues, Apple implemented its Case Program, which provided a free Apple Bumper, (including a refund if one had already been purchased), or a choice of case from a number of third-party suppliers. The company also applied a no restocking fee return policy for dissatisfied customers. Apple has now announced that after September 30, it will continue to offer only the Bumper case for free through AppleCare and the no restocking fee policy will end.Read More
The Nuu Mini Key offers potential salvation for iPhone lovers with fat fingers who would like an alternative to the screen keyboard so they can increase their typing and hence input speeds. A non-working prototype mistaken for a working one appears to have given the product a bad name it probably doesn't deserve. Tactile keys will hopefully enable some of us to touch type a lot faster than the current screen keyboard.Read More
Apple has caused a lot of confusion for iPhone app developers by banning them from creating apps using any compiler not created by Apple, but then approving apps that break this rule – even going so far as to promote them in the App Store. Finally it looks like Apple has seen the light (and presumably the benefits) and announced that it has relaxed restrictions on its iOS developer license, opening the doors to native Flash and AdMob applications – as long as the resulting apps do not download any code.Read More
Nike has rolled-out a new Nike+ GPS iPhone App for iPhone and iPod touch. It is predominately a GPS app that allows you to visually map your run in addition to monitoring time, pace, distance and calories burned. If you're running on a treadmill or out of GPS range the accelerometer is used to keep the data coming and audio feedback and motivation is delivered by the likes of Paula Radcliffe or Lance Armstrong.

While augmented reality still hasn't quite lived up to the initial hype (at least in terms of practical applications), it's still a great source of eye candy and geeky fun, especially in Japan. Panasonic is the latest company to jump on the AR bandwagon, as they recently released an iPhone app called '3D VIERA AR Greeting' that uses augmented reality to promote the new 3D VIERA TVs.Read More
Until humans evolve huge brains like the Talosians, it seems we'll have to rely on electronic headwear to allow us to control devices with our brainwaves – electronic headwear like the XWave from California-based company PLX Devices. The XWave is the first brainwave interface accessory for the iPhone/iPod touch/iPad that is worn over the head like a pair of headphones. Unfortunately, the device won't allow you to scroll through playlists or select a contact to call with the power of your mind. Rather, like the Star Wars Force Trainer, it detects your attention and meditation levels for use in games and getting the old gray matter into shape.Read More

Dear Kickstarter Fans!
FIVE COUNTRIES, SIX BIRTHS, SEVEN BABIES is a multichaptered DVD showing homebirths in Guatemala, Costa Rica, France, the USA and Bermuda. It reminds us how
simple and pure a drug free birth can be.
Filmed between 1994 and 2010, each country is a short 7-15 minute chapter on the DVD. These chapters are helpful and inspiring for women, families, childbirth educators and the health care community. The entire program is just over an hour but the individual chapters make it easy to
use in classes, conferences and lectures.
Good births, like the ones in FIVE COUNTRIES, SIX BIRTHS, SEVEN BABIES, are positive, life-transforming events. We believe there is a lot to learn from them.
Now, with your help, we can edit, replicate and distribute this DVD. We are trying to raise $15,500 on kickstarter.com. Please share this video and our kickstarter link to help us achieve this goal!!
***** http://kck.st/oKKxmK *****
We have been attending and filming births for many years. It is clear to us that showing powerful images of mothers and babies at birth is an inspiring way to reduce fear. Once fear and ignorance are allayed, a joyful, if not ecstatic, birth is possible.

The modern case also has innovations in airflow and water-cooling capabilities as the properly cooled system will have better operating temperatures and higher overclocking possibilities than the case that doesnt have proper airflow. One concern with cases is their portability and the SilverStone SUGO series Small Form Factor (SFF) cases is a prime example of this. Todays review is on the SilverStone SUGO SG04-FH case, which is a standard case with something designed for easy portability, a handle.

Building the Capital of the New South: A Review of Atlanta Rising
|Building the Capital of the New South:
A Review of Atlanta Rising
Atlanta's civic pride, an otherwise friendly observer once remarked, "has acquired an almost religious quality, as if on the seventh day God hadn't rested at all, but decided to make Atlanta instead, and saw that it was surprisingly good."
Why is Atlanta?
What is Atlanta? is a much easier question to answer. Atlanta is a large, rapidly growing metropolitan area at the base of the Appalachian Piedmont. It is a pleasant enough place to live, but that could be said of many places that otherwise hold no claim to the title "Capital of the New South." The city exists without any particular physical anchor that is characteristic of most major metropolitan areas: seaport, source of energy or other uniquely compelling natural resource located nearby. It exists purely as a city, and a rather successful one. Why?
There is a class of cities in the United States that simply exist because they are already there—cities, mostly landlocked, whose locations were largely arbitrary, established as a transportation crossroads, and whose growth followed purely from straight economic theory: economies of scale and scope. We know that cities like Atlanta or Phoenix or Denver should, in theory, exist somewhere. Not everyone can live in port or coastal cities. There have to be some inland cities. But identifying the factors that early in its history separated, say, Atlanta from Birmingham, Ala., or Macon, Ga., is not so easy to do. Their different development paths are the cumulative consequence of a long history of small decisions that, on net, resulted in very different outcomes.
Atlanta Rises
It is against this background that Frederick Allen's Atlanta Rising: The Invention of an International City, 1946-1996 sets out to chronicle those things that happened in Atlanta to make the city what it is today. Rather than simply chronologically recounting facts, Allen frames those facts in terms of Atlanta's economic and social development, and more importantly, how certain events positioned and kept Atlanta on its relatively fast growth track. Rick Allen has worked as a journalist, as a political commentator for CNN and local Atlanta television stations, and is author of Secret Formula, a history of Coca-Cola.
A problem with some "history-of-the-city" books is that the author merely recounts events and does not distinguish the implications of those events in a longer-term framework of economic analysis. Fortunately, this is not a problem with Atlanta Rising. While Allen is not an economist and does not explicitly make these distinctions, he never takes his eye off the economic development ball, which provides greater insight into what transformed Atlanta from merely a transportation crossroads to the flagship city of the Southeast.
To give away the book's ending: Atlanta grows rapidly, gains jobs, income and international stature, and ultimately is awarded the 1996 Centennial Olympic Games (to Allen, just the most recent step in the larger development process). To accomplish this feat, however, required that the city break out of the struggling inland southern city rut in the interwar period (1920-40), attract new capital from the rest of the United States as well as from overseas, and do so in the midst of a social period that was not conducive to outside investment in the South. These steps, in turn, required a specific type of leadership supported by a unique community, both of which were found in Atlanta after World War II.
Leadership and Community Distinguish Atlanta from Southern Counterparts
The focus of this part of the story is long-time (1936-40, 1942-61) Atlanta Mayor William Hartsfield. It is Hartsfield's vision of what was necessary to make Atlanta a great city and his relationship with the Atlanta community, particularly its businesses, that distinguished Atlanta from its southern counterparts. As Allen describes, the business community was somewhat different in Atlanta from that in other cities.
Aside from Coca-Cola wealth, which the Candlers and later the Woodruffs funneled mostly into health and education, Atlanta's well-to-do made their money in banking, commerce, and transportation, not in oil, steel, automobiles, or other giant industries, and as a result, the city's elite tended to be millionaires rather than billionaires—modest patrons rather than benefactors.Growth was Hartsfield's goal, but that objective was not very different from many other similarly situated cities' goals in the South at the end of World War II. In particular, Birmingham was similar in size and physical attributes to Atlanta at the end of the war, so many have asked why Atlanta outpaced Birmingham in such a dramatic fashion.
One major part of that difference—the Atlanta airport—is directly attributable to William Hartsfield. As Allen recounts, before Hartsfield was mayor, he served as a city alderman at the time when the U.S. Postal Service established an air mail route between New York and Miami. Atlanta was in the running for a stop on this route, but so was Birmingham. The route through Birmingham was desirable because it was in a geographical line with the Shenandoah Valley, and it allowed the small planes of that day to avoid the more mountainous areas. As such, Birmingham was the natural choice. Hartsfield, however, recognized that the city that got the air mail stop would become a center of air transportation, which he foresaw as a central part of trade and growth. After putting together a deal for an Atlanta airport that was capable of servicing the air route, Hartsfield arranged for an assistant postmaster general to inspect the facilities. Upon arrival, he was lavished with all sorts of attention, and a week later Atlanta received the designation.
Apart from the airport, though, there are more fundamental differences between Birmingham and Atlanta that became more important in later years. Allen offers this insight:
The differences between Atlanta and Birmingham were subtle but important. In Atlanta, thanks to Hartsfield's expansion drive, many wealthy whites lived inside the city limits and were forced to deal with racial issues if they hoped to preserve their property values. Birmingham's white elite, on the other hand, lived "over the mountain" in separate suburbs—Homewood, Mountain Brook, and Vestavia Hills—where it was easier to ignore the fate of the central business district. "Too late," a rueful Birmingham native admitted in Look magazine, "our 'nice people' learned that the whirlwinds of race hatred do not stop at suburban boundaries."Indeed, the bulk of Allen's text is devoted to the way Hartsfield and later Atlanta mayors dealt with the social forces that dominated economic development in the South in most of the post-World War II period. While in Allen's view the state and a series of governors were not especially socially progressive, Atlanta generally saw the value of good social relations and moved, as best it could under the circumstances, forward.
The more recent history, while critical in resisting social backsliding, is, economically, more a matter of keeping the rapid development on track rather than having to get on the track in the first place. Mayors Ivan Allen, Sam Massell, Maynard Jackson and Andrew Young (and the present mayor, Bill Campbell) all kept their eye on the social/economic development ball as they governed the city of Atlanta, frequently struggling, but constantly advancing the city as a regional and international center for business.
Atlanta was a center of commerce because the region around it suffered crippling poverty after the Civil War and looked to Atlanta as a source of capital and salvation. The city had a reputation of good race relations because Ralph McGill and Martin Luther King, Jr., calibrated the pace and led the way to slow, certain change. The airport was a gateway to the Southeast because Bill Hartsfield saw it that way at a time when barnstormers still flew biplanes. The city was united in support of the Olympics because its people and its leaders had learned, occasionally with great difficulty, to trust each other over the years.Allen describes many incidents along the path to integration in which the city could have suffered dramatic setbacks but did not. These mayors' ultimate relative success is built upon a foundation laid by strong and skillful social, political and economic leaders that helped make Atlanta, as the saying goes, "the world's next great city."
This book review was contributed by Tom Cunningham, research officer in charge of the regional team in the Atlanta Fed's research department.

Long year for Padres rookies
Written by | Tom Krasovic | 10:18 a.m., Sep 18, 2008
The minor league season ends near Labor Day, but major leaguers press on through September. For several Padres rookies, it's an adjustment.
"Yeah, you get tired," Chase Headley said. "But I think of the season, everybody's tired. But you can't use that as an excuse. Other teams are going through the same things."
Manager Bud Black said he doesn't see fatigue impairing the performance of his younger players, and that it shouldn't be a major concern.
"They shouldn't be tired at this time of year," he said. But if they are, he added, "that's where mental strength comes in, for me. If you are tired, make sure you get your rest, eat well and go out there and play."

Orange is the New Black
Does Orange Is the New Black's Laverne Cox Have a Boyfriend?
Orange Is the New Black star Laverne Cox (Sophia Burset) has never had an issue opening up about her personal experiences as a trans women, but she's tended to keep her general day-to-day private life, well, private. But in a recent interview with E!, she did dish a little about her dating life.
"I am managing to find time to date," Laverne told E!, which is pretty impressive given that she's super busy as an actress and activist. She really can do it all!
In fact, Laverne isn't just dating — she has a special someone.
That said, she makes it clear that she and her man haven't yet "defined" exactly what their relationship is, so we shouldn't call him her boyfriend. Still, Laverne says she and her man are "enjoying each other's company, and having a very good time, and laughing together and supporting each other." Sounds pretty great.
So, could wedding bells be in the future? Maybe not — and not just because it's too soon to say with this particular guy! Laverne admits that she's not sure if she ever wants to get married, explaining that she doesn't want kids, and she's not sure if she, "personally, need[s] that institution to validate whatever relationship I might find myself in."
For much more about Laverne's thoughts on love and relationships, check out the full interview at E!

The following post will probably not make any sense to you. It didn't to us either. However that's because neither you nor I are Powered by Marie Elianor.[cleeng_content id="930958551″ description="Why stop now? It's just getting interesting!" price="0.99″ referral="0.10″]We'll begin with a bit of history.
- Earlier this month, the City of Lauderdale Lakes provided their Long Range Financial Plan to the County.
- The "plan" for fiscal years 2013 – 2017 were contained within those pages.
- FY13 is based upon the end results of FY12.
- FY12 is based upon the end results of FY11.
As you can see, it's a waterfall approach with one thing leading to another.
Now let's add some confusion.
- We're nearly 6 months into FY12 and still no word on last year's certified audit.
- With the year's midpoint approaching, it's time for course correction. If the rumors are to be believed, then layoffs are on the near term event horizon.
So apparently, Elianor and her boss, :JA:, believe there's a problem. We agree, there are lots of problems.
How big of a problem? A problem based on what numbers?
The city has no idea of where FY11 ended, so anything put forward would be a guess at best. Now, toss in the fact Elianor doesn't know her ass from a hole in the ground…
And it's the blind leading the retarded.
But wait, it gets :worse(r):.
Tonight, the Commission approved, by Resolution and with amendments, the "plan" — thereby officially put their stamp of approval on this nonsense.
Surprising? No, not really.
According to the OIG Report, many members of this Commission don't know their ass from a hole in the ground.
So are we to expect any different?[/cleeng_content]

This gives me goosebumps! A woman from Cleveland, Texas captured the image of what she believes to be a ghost on camera. She was attempting to take a picture of her son at Cleveland High School when she captured the specter of a man and a woman standing behind a chain-link fence. The man appears to be wearing a leisure suit, leading Davis to believe he is from the 1970s. Do you think it's real? See the pictures here: http://tinyurl.com/cwbxofh
Also, a man in the UK claims to have found the image of Jesus in a stain on his T-shirt. He saw the outline of Jesus Christ with his arms outstretched appear on his shirt after he spilled fabric softener on his clothes. Jesus or the Fonz? See the picture here: http://tinyurl.com/c6jufys

BOSTON To enforce Gov. Deval Patrick's 24-hour driving ban during last week's blizzard, State Police issued many warnings, gave three citations and one criminal complaint, according to State Police spokesman Dave Procopio.
For the most part there was little police action needed, as the public heeded Patrick's call to stay off the roads starting at 4 p.m. Friday.
"By and large the citizens took the governor's request to heart and there were very few vehicles on the roads," Procopio said. No one was arrested for violating the order, he said.
Though the penalty for violating an executive order can be up to a year of imprisonment, Patrick told reporters on Friday that the aim was to keep the roads clear for plows, not to lock people up.
"The point is not to figure out how to come down hard on people, it's to emphasize how critical it is that non-essential travel on the roads cease during this storm and in the immediate aftermath. We are trying to be and will be flexible," Patrick said on Friday.
Procopio said state troopers were advised to use discretion in enforcing the ban, and the vast majority of traffic stops of people not covered under the orders exemptions were resulted in a warning.
"We went into it with the understanding and the agreement by the governor that we were going to enforce it with discretion," Procopio said.

New Years happened. It was stupid. Like it is, every year. Here at The Gloss, we are professional drinkers and so regard New Years as an acceptable excuse to get drunk at best (but really, to stay in and order takeout). Here, editors Jennifer Wright and Ashley Cardiff discuss their ambivalence about the practice of resolutions, what awful children they were and Michael Crichton.
Jennifer: I don't like it when people resolve to work out more, because they take up the space in the gym. And I don't like it when they resolve to eat healthy, either, because why does Whole Foods have no blueberries? Because they ate all the blueberries. And the pancetta, I guess.
Ashley: You know, I was going to respond to your first point but then you went off the rails. And Whole Foods isn't out of blueberries.
Jennifer: It could be. It probably will be, soon, if these resolvers keep going the way they're going
Ashley: Well, I don't see Whole Foods running out of blueberries anytime soon, but… I do relate to spending a lot of time at the gym every January waiting for a machine.
Jennifer: And also the pancetta?
Ashley: You do know what pancetta is, right?

NEW Zealand has reacted to threats by 10 Chinese asylum seekers on a boat in Darwin to make the long voyage south with a push for new temporary visas for refugees - a move leapt on by the opposition in Australia as support for its border policy.
The 10 Chinese, some claiming to be persecuted Falun Gong members, arrived in Darwin last month after sailing from Malaysia and claimed they wanted to go to New Zealand to get a more favourable hearing. But New Zealand's Immigration Minister Nathan Guy yesterday said a new class of visa was needed to deter ''queue jumpers''.
''We cannot start accepting boatloads of people - we need to deter them before they take to the sea,'' he said. The conservative-led National Party government has proposed changes to the country's laws to introduce three-year visas for asylum seekers - similar to the temporary protection visa category in the Howard era.
Opposition immigration spokesman Scott Morrison said the new law was similar to changes introduced by Canada and to which Australia should return.

May 25, 2016
Tallahassee, FL - About 75 students from Florida High walked to school this morning, along with parents, teachers and community leaders.
It was "International Walk to School Day," to fight childhood obesity and promote fun physical activity.
The group met at Southwood Town Center, and trotted all the way to school.
One mother, Alice Bonn, says, "Today is my birthday. I couldn't think of a better way than to get up early and walk to school at Florida High as the "walking school bus" with my three girls to promote good health, exercise, and safety."
Bonn's second grade daughter says, "It's really fun to get up and exercise and I really love Florida High. It's really fun walking there because they hold up these signs that say, stop, look both ways, and then they keep going."
Before the walk, Tallahassee's First Lady, Jane Marks, led the kids in a warm up.
Last year, International Walk to School Day was celebrated at more than four-thousand schools nationwide.

I've had this idea bouncing around in my head for a while. Your city isn't that big. You've had 50 alleycats and they seem to keep using the same checkpoints because there's only so many bars/shops/people with houses downtown. You need something new.
So you get someone who doesn't live in your city, someone whose never been there, to design your route. Set them up with a map and some parameters (max distance, really, really bad neighborhoods, etc.). They set out 10 or so checkpoints completly blind. Whatever looks good to them on the map. Maybe they'll send you up the hill everyone hates or you'll have to find your way down the worst street in town. Maybe the checkpoint is in a mall or an office tower or the fastest way to get there is the subway.
Maybe it'll be the worst race everyone has done. But maybe it'll be awesome. And everyone can race b/c no one will know the manifest before hand.

In Use
So I grabbed a bunch of music videos of all qualities from Youtube and off I went. Once analysed, it was a blast to be banging video to video like I was mixing audio. And in this respect, vjay handles itself perfectly for an iPad app. And when adding effects, and messing with loops, it just becomes even more fun. I began to hit a creativity wall when I wanted to get rather more clever with loops and clips – I wished for more separate controls. But for V1 of an all new iOS DJing style, I found vjay to be incredibly easy to use, highly responsive and glitch free. Recording impacts responsiveness, and spinbacks can't be pushed too far, but other than that, I had flawless performance and a world of engaging fun.
To be honest, this is probably the level at many DJs wish to operate, and no longer need a huge setup to simply mix one top 40 video to another. I'm sure we've all been to parties that could have been lifted no end if we could just watch the crappy 70s, 80s and 90s tracks that we were listening to. Hooking an iPad up to cheap projector or big flat screen TV will lift boring parties into something considerably more interesting. Pro VJs may need a little more convincing of the validity of vjay though, or perhaps the iPad as a platform with little storage for video.
There are of course a number of technology hurdles to navigate here. I've got a 16Gb iPad, thus the amount of music and video I can use it quite limited. Given that digital DJs favour carrying around every piece of music ever created, the storage issue will be at the forefront of the decision to go down this route of video DJing. Assuming that a decent quality 720p video is 50Gb – that's 20 per 1Gb. Yep – space is soon eaten away in this video lark. For people just wanting to mess around using SD video, space is less of an issue. But if you'd like to use vjay for playing out, and don't want to constantly juggle playlists between gigs, a 64Gb iPad is the way to go. Then there are the issues of compatibility with HDMI output devices, MIDI controllers (just iDJ Live right now) and keeping it all powered up.
It's worth underlining that like djay before it, vjay is a performance app rather than a construction kit. This is not iMovie with decks – yes you can record, but it's like old one shot mix tape style. In fact, that's where I see a lot of activity – making video mix tapes and posting on Youtube, and sharing with their friends.
On the subject of sharing, a can of worms is about to be unleashed as a whole new market segment starts to flood Youtube with highly illegal mixes. While it is very easy to download videos from Youtube, reposting them is likely to get your videos shut down along with your account. Even snippets of audio samples in my tradeshow videos have seen my own clips unviewable in many countries.
But overall, vjay really does work. If you just want to play, it's so easy to pull out your iPad and mashup videos for fun. I also feel that for mobiles and parties, vjay is perfectly capable of handling music video mixing with a handful of tricks thrown in. Beyond this, pro video DJs may well feel a little hampered by the small interface and lack of high end features. We must remember that this is a $9.99 app on an iPad, and in this respect vjay is completely amazing.
I find myself pleasantly surprised by vjay. Not just by how well it does the task it sets out to do, but also by how much more interested I am in the iPad as a platform and by video in general. I've always found turntables ill-suited to video work. If they were, video editors would use them. vjay however takes just enough from djay to make me instantly comfortable, but different enough to make it more suitable for video use.
As I mentioned at the top of the review, video as a format hasn't exactly caught on in the mainstream DJ's consciousness. But vjay has the possibility of giving a lot more people an affordable and more accessible platform to experiment with. This could even kickstart a video revolution from the bottom end, where new video specific controllers are developed using the iPad and vjay as the engine.
Reading back, it seems that most of my less favourable comments seem to be about things that vjay has yet to do, and hardware issues that algoriddim have no control over. One thing that I have noticed is how much space is left in the interface, which means that some of the things I've mentioned could be easily added and not impact on usability.
Bottom Line
Algoriddim have worked miracles within the technological confines of iOS and the iPad. vjay is an absolutely essential no-brainer purchase for $10, and I cannot wait to see what the future holds.

The 3G Glossary of Mobile Phone Technology is produced in two parts.
2G, also known as second generation, is a mobile phone technology that came between analogue technology and 3G technology.
2.5G indicates a mobile device that is more advanced than a standard 2G, or second generation, device, and may even include support for features such as EDGE and GPRS.
3G, or third generation, is an advanced mobile phone technology that has followed 2G, or second generation, technology. 3G systems involve a high capacity for data transfer, meaning that mobile broadband and video calls are among the possibilities on many 3G mobiles, such as those available at a 3 shop or in a 3 mobile deal.
4G, or fourth generation, is a term that is used in reference to the technology developed to follow and improve upon 3G, or third generation, technology, as used in 3G phones. The technology has not yet fully taken shape, although a number of trials are being based on an IP network in the manner of LTE or WiMAX. A number of service providers have made commitments to 4G technology as a natural successor to 3G technology.
3-way Calling
3-way Calling is a type of conference calling that means that three or more people can join the same call on a mobile phone, such as a 3G mobile. All three people can talk and listen at any point during the conference call, and it is usually the case that additional people can join the conference, or that existing participants can leave the conference, without disturbing the call. This means that it is a flexible method of communication for businesses travellers or for business offices in different regions or countries.
A-GPS stands for Assisted GPS, which is a technology that enables a mobile device, such as a 3G mobile phone, to use triangulation to identify its current location. Some 3G mobiles that include a GPS chip can make use of A-GPS. Triangulation is a system whereby the location of a 3G phone can be found in relation to the nearby mobile phone masts. In many cases, this can give an accuracy of within 100 metres. Some 3G mobiles, such as some three shop 3G phones, can use A-GPS for a faster location fix than is possible using a normal GPS location fix, which might take as long as 30 seconds.
AAC, or Advanced Audio Coding, is a format for music that is being considered as an improvement to the widely used MP3 format. It is claimed that the AAC format can give better sound quality while using the same amount of memory space as the MP3 format, which means that it might be used to improve the music experience for users of 3G phones such as 3 store 3G phones.
An Accelerometer is a tool within a mobile phone, such as one of the many 3G devices, which can detect motion. Although the Accelerometer is designed to detect acceleration, it can be used to detect when the orientation of a mobile device changes, and so can be used in the auto rotate function, which rotates the display on the mobile device between landscape and portrait mode, depending on the angle at which the phone is being held.
Adobe Flash
Adobe Flash, which is often known simply as Flash, is an Adobe product that works as a multimedia system for computers. Users often access it by use of a web browser, but it can also be used in the creation of user interfaces and menus for a number of mobile phones, such as 3G mobiles. A light version of Flash, with a smaller range of functions than the full version, is available specifically for mobile phones, enabling users to view multimedia web content on, for example, a 3shop 3G phone. Other uses of Flash include support for streaming video on social networking and other multimedia websites.
AMOLED is the short form of Active Matrix OLED, which is a type of display technology used on mobile devices. One of the benefits for users is that displays that use this technology tend to have quicker times for pixel switching, which removes the effect of 'ghosting' that is sometimes apparent in quick-moving animations when they are displayed using older technology.
The name Android has been given to a Google-designed operating system that is based on Linux. The Android operating system is open source in nature, meaning that 3G phones or other devices that are based on Android are likely to be cheaper to produce than operating systems for which a royalty fee is payable, as is the case with, for example, Windows Mobile by Microsoft. The first commercial device based on the Android operating system was introduced to the market by T-Mobile in 2008.
Android 2.3
Android 2.3 has also gone by the name Gingerbread, and is a version of Android that was released in the latter half of 2010 to include a number of technical improvements. These improvements included enhancements to the user interface and to the copy-paste functions, to the support for Near Field Communication support, and to the support available for larger screens. There was also the addition of a virtual keyboard on the device screen. Android 2.3 was later updated further with additional enhancements in the form of video calling (Google Talk) and mobile payment (Google Wallet).
Android 4.0
Android 4.0 has also gone by the name Ice Cream Sandwich, and is a version of Android that was first released onto the market in the latter half of 2011 and that combines, in one operating system, the smartphone features of Android 2.3 and the tablet features of Android 3, which has also gone by the name Honeycomb. Android 4.0 includes additions and features such as a new font, which has been given the name Roboto, and a number of other improvements to the user interface.
Audio Output Jack
The audio output jack is a connector on a mobile phone, such as one of the 3 shop 3G phones, that enables the user to use the phone with a regular headset in order to listen to music on the phone. The audio output jack is a standard connector, usually with a dimension of 3.5mm, which means that there is no need for connectors that are specific to each type of mobile phone on the market.
Auto Focus
The auto focus feature is part of the camera lens on a mobile phone such as a 3G phone that automatically adjusts the focus of the lens onto a particular object in the viewfinder. Although auto focus has been a standard feature on cameras for many years, many camera phones have featured cameras with a fixed focus lens, which can lead to a lack of clarity in images, and the introduction of auto focus in camera phones such as 3G phones is intended to solve that difficulty.
Bar Phone
The term bar phone refers to the shape of one of the more popular types of mobile phones, including 3G phones. The word bar is derived from the idea of a candy bar or chocolate bar, and the simple shape makes the buttons and the screen easy to see and easy to access, which has been an important factor in making the design popular.
BlackBerry - Research In Motion
Research In Motion is sometimes abbreviated to RIM or is known by the BlackBerry brand, and is a company based in Waterloo, Canada, that makes mobile phones and the related server software that is necessary for the use of email on mobile devices such as 3G mobiles. The server software is known as BlackBerry Enterprise Server.
Bluetooth is a type of technology that enables wireless connections to be created so that electrical devices, including mobile phones such as 3G phones, can communicate with each other without the need for wires. Bluetooth technology works over short distances, usually up to about 10 metres, and is a common solution when it comes to the car kits and headsets that operate with, for example, three shop 3G phones.
Bps is an abbreviation of the measurement bits per second, which denotes the speed at which data transfer occurs, for example when sending or receiving data from 3G phones.
Capacitive Touchscreen
A capacitive touchscreen is one of the categories of touchscreen that is most commonly used for mobile devices that use displays that can be operated by touch. Capacitive touchscreens make use of the electrical properties that are inherent to the human body so that they can detect when and where a user touches the screen. Capacitive displays respond to quite light touches by the user when the finger is in direct contact with the screen, but cannot usually detect a touch by a stylus or by a hand that is in a glove. The other type of touchscreen that is commonly used is a resistive touchscreen.
The term cellular is widely used to describe mobile phone communications, particularly in the USA, and is derived from the fact that mobile phones, including 3G phones, operate within a series of transmitter areas known as cells.
A contract for a mobile phone such as a 3G phone is an agreement with a service provider. Contracts are available at different prices and for different lengths of time and usually involve periodic billing, such as monthly bills for the services used. Sometimes phones, including 3G phones, are made available for free with certain types of contract. For a 3 mobile deal or for other information on a contract for a 3 mobile phone, information is available from the nearest 3shop.
Coverage refers to the area within which it is possible to make or receive calls on a mobile phone.
Digital Zoom
On the camera of a mobile phone, the digital zoom is a feature that can digitally enhance part of an image so that it appears that the lens has zoomed in on the subject of the image. However, as the digital zoom actually crops and enhances the image, there is generally lower image quality than with optical zoom.
Dual Band
Dual band refers to the ability that a phone has to work on networks of both 900MHz and 1800MHz. Following the growth in popularity of mobile phones, including 3G mobiles, the available frequencies for mobile phones have been in great demand. With dual band, 3G phones can make use of the full range of frequencies that are available, easing the congestion of mobile phone frequencies.
EDGE is term derived from the words 'enhanced speed for data transfer across a GSM network', and the technology of EDGE is sometimes viewed as an alternative technology to third generation, or 3G. If a 3G network is not available, many 3G phones can use EDGE to maintain fast rates of data transfer.
Evolved HSPA
Evolved HSPA is sometimes referred to by the alternative terms HSPA Evolution, HSPA+, or eHSPA, and involves a developing set of technologies that use existing HSPA standards. These standards deal with data transmission across 3G networks that are based on UMTS. Evolved HSPA has been predicted to be able to provide 3G phones with a downlink rate of 42Mbps and an uplink rate of 22Mbps.
Face Recognition
Face recognition is a type of technology that is used in a digital camera to identify human faces and to provide an automatic focus on these faces, meaning that images of faces are produced with greater clarity and sharpness.
A femtocell is used in a domestic or small business environment as a small cell tower that expands the network range of a service provider. Each femtocell can connect to the service provider's network using the domestic or business broadband internet, so that it then provides a strong signal for devices in the area, such as 3G phones from 3shop.
Firmware is a term that is used to describe the software that controls how a mobile devices such as 3G mobiles work. The word firmware indicates that, unlike other software, the functions are closely linked to the specific hardware to be found in mobile devices. Most often, firmware is stored in the flash memory of the ROM on a mobile device, to help to prevent accidental erasure or loss. Sometimes the firmware of mobile devices such as 3G phones can be updated to add extra functions to the devices.
Flash Lite
Flash Lite offers mobile devices such as the 3G phones from 3shop the possibility to make run a selection of the features that are to be found in a full version of Adobe Flash. Flash Lite can be used, for example, to view embedded videos on social networking websites.
Frame Rate
Frame rate is measured in, for example, frames per second, and it indicates how many still images are used to create one second of video or animation. When there are more frames per second, the video or animation appears to be smoother with less flicker. A good frame rate for smooth quality video is 30fps (frames per second) or more, but with a rate of 15fps or less, the video becomes obviously less smooth.
Frequency Band
A frequency bands is a group of radio frequencies, such as those used by mobile phones when communicating with a mobile network such as a 3G network. A mobile device needs to be able to work on a particular frequency band to be able to communicate with a particular mobile network. For example, the frequency bands used by mobile networks in the USA tend to be at 1900MHz and 850MHz, while the frequency bands of mobile networks in Europe and elsewhere tend to be 900MHz and 1800MHz. If a mobile device such as a 3G phone needs to work in both the USA and Europe, it must be able to work at 1900MHz and either 900MHz or 1800MHz. It is possible to get devices from 3shop that are tri-band, covering three frequency bands, or quad-band, covering four frequency bands.
GB is an abbreviation of Gigabyte, which is a unit of memory storage, for example in a 3G phone. One Gigabyte is the same as 1024 MB, or Megabytes.
GPS stands for Global Positioning System, which is a technology that uses satellites to work out the location of a device with GPS technology, such as some 3G mobiles.
GPRS is an abbreviation of General Packet Radio Service, which historically was a high-speed data service that preceded 3G for mobile devices.
GSM now stands for Global Standard for Mobile communications, which is a worldwide standard for digital mobile phone networks. Such networks operate on different frequency bands. Mobile devices such as 3G mobiles need to operate on the correct frequency bands for the local networks. For example, a quad band phone from three mobile is capable of operating on all four of the main frequency bands used globally, which makes it good for international travel.
Hands-free refers to the possibility to use a device to make or receive a phone call without actually holding the device. A typical situation would be a hands-free car kit, which enables a driver to use the phone and drive at the same time. This is done through the use of a microphone for the driver's voice and a loudspeaker through which the caller can be heard. In other applications, the loudspeaker might be replaced by earphones or a device for conference calls. A wireless Bluetooth headset is another example of a hands-free device.
Haptics, or haptic feedback, refers to the way in which the sense of touch is used in the user interface of, for example, a mobile phone, to give the user of the phone information. For example, in mobile devices such as 3G devices, haptics can include a vibration to acknowledge a user pressing a touchscreen button, which replaces the tactile sense of pressing and releasing a traditional physical key or button. The concept of haptics is also used in so-called force feedback that is provided through joysticks and steering wheels during some types of games.
HDMI stands for High-Definition Multimedia Interface, which is a connection similar to USB that uses a single cable to connect to an audio or video device, such as a DVD player or TV monitor.
HDMI-Ready refers to the capability of a device to use HDMI, or High-Definition Multimedia Interface, to connect to a high-definition digital audio or video signal.
HDTV stands for High-Definition Television, which is a type of digital television that has a higher resolution than analogue television. Most television broadcasts are now digital.
HSCSD stands for High Speed Circuit-Switched Data, which is a method of using 2G, or second generation, mobile networks to provide fast internet access. The introduction of 3G networks and 3G mobiles, such as those from three shop, means that HSCSD is no longer in common use.
HSPA stands for High Speed Packet Access, which refers to 3G networks that are based on UMTS and that can utilise both HSDPA and HSUPA data for higher download and upload rates. HSPA is sometimes used as a term to cover the whole family of similar systems, including HSPA+.
HSDPA stands for High Speed Download Packet Access, which is usually referred to as mobile broadband. HSDPA provides high data rates when downloading data on a 3G mobile network.
HSUPA stands for High Speed Upload Packet Access, which is a service that works with HSDPA to provide upload data rates at mobile broadband quality, to complement the similarly faster download data rates that are available on a 3G network.
IM stands for Instant Messaging, which is a commonly used communication service that is available on a wide range of 3G phones, such as those from 3store. Some devices enable users to use IM with established applications such as Windows Live and Yahoo Messenger.
Image Stabiliser
Image stabiliser is a technology that is used on a camera phone so that the effect of shake, as caused by a hand tremor, is reduced and so that an image is less blurred as a result.
IMAP, or Internet Message Access Protocol, is a way of sending and receiving email by use of an internet server online. With IMAP, email headers and sender data are downloaded so that the user can then decide whether to download a full email message, for example onto a 3G device, or to keep the email message on the server online, where it can later be accessed from a computer, for example.
IMEI stands for International Mobile Equipment Identity, which is a unique serial number that is required for every mobile device. The IMEI is usually printed in a place under the device battery. The IMEI can be used if a device is stolen, so that the device can be identified and blocked by the mobile network, thus making it unusable as a phone.
Internal Memory
The internal memory of a phone such as a 3G phone is the capacity on the device that can be used to save images, messages, and music, for example.
IrDA refers to a set of protocols that manage the exchange of data using infrared technology. Infrared is common on devices such as 3G mobiles, but the operating range is limited compared to Bluetooth.
Java is the name of a programming language that used in the creation of a large number of games and applications that can be used on devices such as 3G phones.
Kbps is an abbreviation of the unit of measurement kilobytes per second, which indicates the speed at which data is transferred, for example on a mobile network such as 3G network.
LCD stands for liquid crystal display, which is a technology that has made flat screens and flat displays possible. The technology makes use of electrodes and polarizing filters so that individual pixels of light can be activated or deactivated, meaning that they appear lit or unlit to the user. In a colour LCD, red, green, and blue colour filters are combined to create the colours that are visible on the display.
LED stands for Light Emitting Diode, which is a small light that is used, for example on a camera phone, to enhance the quality of images shot in poor light by illuminating objects that are in the shot. LEDs provide less light than a xenon flash, but also require less energy to operate, thus saving battery power.
Lithium Ion
Lithium ion is a chemical technology that is used in the manufacture of a large number of types of mobile device batteries
LTE stands for Long Term Evolution, which is thought to be a likely evolution from the technology of UMTS 3G. The concept behind LTE is to update the UMTS 3G technology, and therefore provide higher data transmission rates in both the upload and download directions. As 3G develops into 4G, LTE is one of the options available to service providers when upgrading their mobile networks.

Fire breaks out at City Heights taco shop
SAN DIEGO - A fire possibly caused by spontaneous combustion spread through a City Heights taco shop Wednesday, causing an estimated $150,000 worth of damage.
The non-injury blaze in the 4900 block of El Cajon Boulevard erupted shortly after 7 a.m., according to the San Diego Fire-Rescue Department. It took crews about 45 minutes to extinguish the flames.
Investigators suspect that the fire likely broke out when greasy rags began burning due to a chemical reaction, SDFRD spokesman Lee Swanson said.
The monetary losses were set at $75,000 each to the structure and contents.
The fire caused some delays in bus service in the busy area, according to Metropolitan Transit System officials.

So I did a lot of searching the internet and this forum for a good way to haul my bike in the back of my pickup truck. There are a lot of options for this, some of them are very expensive. I read several threads here that mentioned mounting a fork mount to a 2x8 as a cheap solution. I couldn't find any pictures though so after I made mine I figured I'd post up for any others looking for some tips. Every truck bed will be slightly different. I happen to have a factory bedliner for my Mazda b2300 (AKA Ford Ranger) which has little cut outs for a 2x4. They are small though, and won't actually hold a 2x4 by itself. I cut down a 2x4 and made mounting "legs" to which I attached a 2x6 board which was cut to a width that made it fit very snug so it won't move around between the bed rails.
Total cost was around $20.00. The fork mount was $15.00 and the wood was $5.00
Around town it works very well. The bike is secure and isn't going anywhere. I haven't taken it on highway speeds or anything but for around town it works fine.
Sorry about the image size. I have resized them but for some reason when linking offsite photobucket still displays them full size.

UW-Milwaukee Holds Off Baseball, 10-5, In Nightcap
April 16, 2005
Chicago, Ill. - After earning the 12-2 victory over UW-Milwaukee in the first game of Saturday's doubleheader, the Panthers turned the tables on the University of Illinois at Chicago baseball squad in the nightcap, as UWM picked up the 10-5 Horizon League victory over the Flames at Les Miller Field.
UWM junior outfielder Mike Goetz (2 runs), senior catcher Brooks Graff (2 runs), sophomore first baseman Ross McCoy (2 runs) and freshman shortstop Grant Berkovitz each totaled two hits on the afternoon for the Panthers, while teammates Joe Nowicki, Nick Wichser (run) and Charlie Reschke (2-run homer) each contributed two RBI.
With the victory, UWM improves to 14-14 overall and 5-2 in Horizon League play, while the Flames fall to 16-14-1 on the campaign and 2-5 in conference action.
UWM sophomore southpaw Robert Michalkiewicz (2-2) earned the complete-game victory, while scattering 10 hits. UIC starter Ryan Hopkins (1-2) was tagged with the loss, giving up five runs and six hits in 2.2 innings of work.
UIC outfielders Larry Gempp Jr. (2 runs, RBI) and Bart Babineaux led the Flames offensively with three hits apiece. Senior third baseman Bryan Russo's 16-game hitting streak came to an end, as the Davie, Fla., native went 0-for-2 with a RBI.
The Panthers got on the board in the first inning, as Goetz and Graff opened the frame with back-to-back singles. Goetz scored on a one-out, RBI single from Nowicki, while Graff scored from third on a RBI groundout by Wichser, giving UWM the 2-0 lead.
Goetz and Graff got the Panthers rolling again in the third inning with back-to-back singles. Junior designated hitter Zak Rivera plated Goetz with a RBI double, extending UWM's advantage to 3-0. Graff moved to third base on the play.
Nowicki stepped to the plate and rolled a grounder to second base, allowing Graff to score and Rivera to move to third, putting the Panthers ahead, 4-0. Wichser followed with a hot shot to Flames' shortstop Jeff Gremley, that rolled underneath his glove, plating Rivera and extending the Panthers' lead to 5-0.
UIC got on the board in the fourth inning as Gempp roped a one-out single and moved to second base on a Michalkiewicz wild pitch. Babineaux moved Gempp over to third base on a single through the left side.
Junior designated hitter Ted Rosinski (2 RBI) followed with a RBI groundout that narrowed UWM's advantage to 5-1.
The Panthers tacked on four insurance runs in the fifth inning, as senior second baseman Charlie Reschke connected for a two-run, opposite-field homer off of UIC reliever Bill Bernabei, to extend UWM's lead to 7-1.
McCoy reached base on a single and scored on a three-base error by UIC first baseman Mark Hallberg (1-for-4, RBI, run) on a ground ball from Matt Curran, pushing UWM ahead, 8-1. Curran scored on a RBI single by Berkovitz, giving the Panthers the 9-1 lead.
UWM added another run in the seventh inning, as McCoy reached base on an infield single and moved to second on a Bernabei wild pitch. McCoy moved to third on a Berkovitz single and scored on another Bernabei wild offering, pushing UWM's lead to 10-1.
UIC made a valiant comeback effort in the bottom of the seventh inning, as the Flames tallied four runs off of Michalkiewicz, but were unable to overtake the Panthers.
The Flames and UW-Milwaukee will conclude the four-game series on Sunday afternoon at 1:00 p.m. at Les Miller Field.

The popularity of e cigarettes is something that continues to grow and grow. More people are learning about e cigarettes and more importantly more people are trying e cigarettes. However, despite the popularity of e cigarettes, it's interesting that not many people have a full understanding of just how e cigarettes work. Sure everyone knows that e cigarettes use e liquid cartridges, but what about the actual inner workings? Knowing how an e cigarette works and knowing the inner components can be especially helpful if you find that your e cigarette has something wrong and you need to order the right part to fix it.
Perhaps the most important part of the e cigarette is the battery. Of course this is where the e cigarette gets its power from. But the battery usually also has a charge indicator at the end of the tip in the form of a blinking light (specifically when you are running low on battery power). At the end of the battery, is a vent that allows for the air that is sucked in by the e cigarette users to hit a chip that tells the atomizer to heat up and vaporize the e liquid that is contained in the flavor cartridge.In an interesting piece of info, older e cigarette models would vaporize e liquid with something as simple as a gust of wind until they were remodeled to only vaporize air that passed through the vent in a certain way.
Of course there are subtle differences between different brands of e cigarettes. But the primary principle of how e cigarettes works is universal. There are different part variations, such as how some brands use cartomizers and some use atomizers, but it is all a matter of brand and build.


text: Thank goodness for good training, and even better friends! I have wanted a sub 4 marathon since last summer. I failed pretty miserably at Marine Corps last year, and ended up walking the last three miles. It was very humbling and taught me quite a few lessons to take into B and A. The first, even though I wanted sub 4, that was not the end all be all. I did not want to get so hung up on the time I blew my race in the first 13. That being said, I was lucky enough to run most of the race with friends. Kim S. and I did a really good job of keeping each other on pace and pretty much stayed conversational the first half. We managed to stay right under 9's which was great for me. Kim was coming off an injury and did amazing!! Lisa F and Meg met us at miles 13 and 14. It was perfect to have fresh faces. Kim and I had been gabbing each other's ears off for right under 2 hours! (Wouldn't have it any other way!). I have been working with Lisa for about a month now, and the results speak for themselves. She was the driving force I needed to get through that race. I know Kim would have gotten me across the finish sub 4 too, so either way I was taken care of. I felt really good up through about mile 21. Lisa never let me stop; literally, she took my bottles from my fuel belt and filled them at water stops for me while I continued running! I kind of felt like a celebrity in my head! At one point I think I said, "I feel like I'm gonna puke" and my response was something like, no, you're going to keep running! I loved and hated it at the same time! I took little slow down breaks which never felt long enough at the time, but were just enough. Some people talk about how they do not like this race, its boring, and an out and back. I actually liked it! I got to scream obnoxiously to people I knew and saw so many familiar faces. All in all, it was an awesome experience for me, and I got to share it with a bunch of MMTC people. Post race I stretched a lot, took an ice and Epsom salt bath, and put compression gear on right away. I was amazed how "oaky" I felt after. I have some tightness in my left hip, but did not have the zombie walk or major trouble with steps at all this time! Congrats to all the other races, I think almost everyone had a PR that day! I will add, that eating 4 cupcakes from Kupcakes and Co. pre-race may not be the best fueling strategy. I had 2 Friday, and 2 Saturday in "attempts to boost my sugar (wink wink)." I have strict instructions to stay away from sweets until after Rock-n-Roll.
