Is 5 foot 8 short for a guy ??
I'm talking like height (not penis size lol) is that short?I've noticed that most girls around me are just as tall or shorter, want more opinions.
What's Your Opinion?
Most Helpful Opinion
It all depends on the girls. I am 5'10" and I have dated a guy that was slightly shorter than you and even guys that were 6'4". Everyone has different opinions about hieght and sizes. If someone doesn't care for your height, then just walk it off because someone will want you for you and not because of height that you can't control. Good luck.
What Girls Said 9
Perfect for me, I'm only 5'2".
It's a little on the shorter side fore me as I'm 5'8 myself but I would consider it an average height for a guy. Actually both of my exes were 5'8-5'9 ish. I would consider 5'6 short.
I would think that it's more average than short.
you're perfect height :)
You're not short, you're average height. And honestly height shouldn't matter. I'm 5'3" and have dated guys from 5'1" to 6'3". It's the personality that matters, not how tall/short they are :)
well I'm 5'0 so I don't think 5'8 is short
Not really. I mean, As long as you aren't like, boob height you'll be fine. For me, anyways. Some girls are really anal about having a taller guy, but most of them are short. You're good, I think.
i fink it is because think about 5 ft 8 is average height for girls! not guys tbh
to me its average but I've heard people say its kind of short. but then again there are quiete a few guys who are shorter than 5'8 so its pretty much average.
What Guys Said 2
I am 5'6" ... I am considered short and it turns a lot of women away. They don't like guys shorter than them for the most part. 5'8 isn't bad though.
I don't know about Canada, but average American male height is 5'9"-5'10". Basically, you're slightly shorter than average. Most girls like their guy to be taller than she is, but average female height is several inches shorter (I think 5'4" or 5'5"), so you should be fine.

Not to mention the fact that Obama is no Lincoln. The Democrats were then, as now, a party that practiced identity politics by setting one group against each other, appealed to racism to stir supporters, and believed in keeping African-Americans enslaved and dependent. Not only was Abraham Lincoln a Republican, so was Frederick Douglass. On the other hand, when the KKK was created, it was known as "the military arm of the Democratic Party." A pity more people don't know history.

1. Re: G2X Touch Tone Problembaracuda1971 Jul 17, 2011 6:56 AM (in response to bgraz180)
I checked lg forums and this is a known issue. They suggest:
Try going to Settings, Sound, "Audioble Touch Tones" (Play tones when using Dial Pad) and make sure that this is turned on.
I would check that first. If it is turned on, try turning off and back on and making call to automated service. If that doesn't work, then try turning off phone and back on and try again.
They also suggested that the phone not be set to vibrate mode or speaker phone.
Last step would be do a factory reset and see if problem clears itself.
2. Re: G2X Touch Tone Problembgraz180 Jul 19, 2011 8:05 PM (in response to baracuda1971)
My touch tones were turned on. I turned them off and tried. No such luck.
I tried rebooting my phone. No luck there, either.
Vibrate mode is off, and I don't use speaker phone.
I don't want to do a factory reset if I can help it. This is the second phone that has had this problem. Between that and the info in the LG forum, I can safely say that it must be a phone problem. I hope it gets fixed. It's very annoying.
Thank you for pointing me to the LG forum. I'll keep an eye on things over there as well and hope that it gets fixed.

Hey bgraz180,
For this issue I would definitely recommend completing the upgrade to Gingerbread (2.3) and testing without any 3rd party programs installed.
Hope this helps!

I've actually had this problem for quite some time on my G2X. I just got through entering my account information 3 times on a bank of america automated call & at least 1 digit would be off so I found this thread. I've tried holding the number long, short, and medium with no improvement in results. What worked for me just now was turning the tones off despite what people have said.

Birthdays are personal, not meant to be stolen
I have a beef with my birthday.
Not that I'm yet again a year older this Dec. 18 (I eternally hope to be a year wiser with each passing anniversary).
I have also long reconciled its proximity to Christmas and all the combined gifts I received over the years for the two occasions.
In the Navy, there was even a saying when you got in trouble, but had been in so much hot water before that one more run-in was inconsequential, "What are they going to do? Take away my birthday?"
Eastside Audubon offers giftwrapping at REI
December 18, 2012
Eastside Audubon brings its holiday giftwrap service to the REI, 735 N.W. Gilman Blvd.
Volunteers from Eastside Audubon will be on hand from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Dec. 21-24 to wrap REI purchases into presents ready to take home and put under the tree. Suggested donations will range from $3 to $9, depending on package size.
Donations raised by the giftwrapping service helps support Eastside Audubon's programs in wildlife conservation and youth education. Those programs include habitat restoration on the Audubon BirdLoop at Marymoor Park and classroom presentations about birds and bird behavior for school-aged children.

Follow consumer tips to turn Christmas 'green'
December 17, 2012
NEW — 6 a.m. Dec. 17, 2012
'Tis the season for consumption — parties, gifts, shopping, decorations, food and more food — leading to more waste, so King County is encouraging revelers to turn the holiday season "green."
The county launched the Green Holidays campaign to educate consumers about how to cut waste, save energy and support the local economy during the holiday season.
The campaign covers holiday décor, entertaining, Christmas tree-cycling and more. The "green" motif also extends to cards, packaging and gift wrap.
Eastridge Church hosts performances of 'It's a Wonderful Life'
December 11, 2012
In 1947, The Lux Radio Theatre delivered "It's a Wonderful Life" from the silver screen to living rooms across the country via the radio. Now, 65 years later, Eastridge Church is recreating the radio play for the Eastside community.
With performances Dec. 14 and 15 at the church's 72,000-square-foot Issaquah facility, the performance is not short on theatrics.
"It's got layers to it," said director Steve Wright, of Sammamish. "It's a radio show performing a movie, so we have a few things going on."
Merry Christmas Issaquah strengthens community ties
December 11, 2012
Since the economy entered a nosedive in 2008, and throughout the fragile recovery since, volunteers at Issaquah Community Services keep hearing a familiar story.
The breadwinner for a household, laid off during the recession, needs help to make ends meet. The volunteers listen and, in many cases, offer assistance to pay the rent or to keep the electricity on.
Milicent Savage, Issaquah Community Services president, remembers the stories from two men recently at the organization's office.
The men, both fathers and husbands, needed assistance to cover rent expenses for the month. Savage recalled how one man — a former Microsoft employee now working as a custodian — broke down.
Hallelujah! Sing & Play Along Messiah! returns
December 11, 2012
Christmas revelers can create a joyful noise and benefit Issaquah Community Services as St. Michael and All Angels Episcopal Church hosts Sing & Play Along Messiah! — a concert to aid people in need throughout the community.
Proceeds from the event go to Issaquah Community Services' Merry Christmas Issaquah fund.
"The real intent behind 'Messiah' was and still is to benefit the needs of the local community," said Jason Anderson, associate for liturgical arts and youth formation at the downtown Issaquah church.
George Frideric Handel composed "Messiah" in 1741 to illustrate scenes from the life of Jesus Christ. "Messiah" ranks among the best-known musical works from the Baroque period, and the piece is especially popular around Christmas
Follow safety tips to avoid Christmas tree catastrophes
December 11, 2012
The holiday season is a time for celebration, but fire hazards from Christmas trees and other decorations can dampen the festive spirit.
Experts at the State Fire Marshal's Office remind residents to properly care for and decorate Christmas trees, and to practice fire safety in order to prevent yuletide emergencies.
If a household holiday display includes a natural tree, keep the tree adequately watered. Improper care and decoration of live or artificial Christmas trees can lead to catastrophic fires.
Holiday donors can avoid charity scams
December 11, 2012
Secretary of State Sam Reed and state Attorney General Rob McKenna urged consumers to beware of holiday charity scams, and unveiled a report to help residents donate wisely.
Throughout 2012, charities using commercial fundraisers in Washington received 46 percent of total donations raised by the fundraisers — lower than the 56 percent in the 2011 report and a major drop from the 77 percent in the 2010 report. Read the most recent report on the Office of the Secretary of State's website at http://1.usa.gov/TgnGu0.
The report is updated on a weekly basis. Consumers can also run reports in real time and receive current registration information on commercial fundraisers.

Elusive Christmas wish ignites holiday meltdown
Christmastime means basic cable is awash in the holiday staples I remember from childhood — animated Whos in "Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas," a stop-motion Santa Claus in "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" and, above all else, BB-gun-seeking Ralphie Parker in "A Christmas Story."
In 1990, at age 6, I followed Ralphie's lead and trimmed my Christmas list down to a single wish.
That November, I dutifully wrote Santa Claus a letter outlining my desire for a Patch Up Pet, nowadays a long-forgotten toy. I knew if I wanted to score such a hot item, I needed to bypass my parents and appeal directly to the big man.
Santa wrote back. In hindsight, that should have been a big indicator of trouble.
Despite much searching by the elves, he wrote, there were no Patch Up Pets to be had, not at the North Pole, and especially not in Lorain, Ohio, where my parents and I then lived.

Plenty of comedians present themselves as regular Joes, the kind of average citizens who report back from the same bizarre yet utterly familiar situations we all encounter. But Boston's Mike Birbiglia is that true rarity: an everyman you can actually identify with. Onstage, he's humble and soft-spoken. He smiles a lot. His jokes are diamond-polished, but come from an unflaggingly positive place. You can just as easily imagine saying hello to him after a show as the two of you going to see a matinee of Avatar together.
Birbiglia is also rare in that his material is unusually well suited to the printed page. Over the years he's moved from a standard set-'em-up-knock-'em-down format to longer, more expansive storytelling. Instead of doing observational comedy, Birbiglia has increasingly looked inward: to his parents, to his childhood, to his own psyche. As such, his first book, the comic memoir Sleepwalk with Me, contains mostly old material—culled from multiple CDs, a DVD, and a hit off-Broadway show of the same name. In many cases the jokes are identical, down to the word.
Amazingly, though, it doesn't feel like a repackaged greatest-hits collection. Birbiglia has written a winning memoir in the strangest way possible: by spending over a decade driving from town to town, telling it to roomfuls of drunk strangers one small piece at a time. He must've been amazed to sit down at his computer that first day and realize the book was basically already done. It was road-tested and refined. All it needed was to be transcribed.
Sleepwalk with Me is arranged thematically, with touchstones that any comedian will recognize: a youngest-child syndrome that left Birbiglia mugging for attention, struggling to express himself within a conservative family, and maintaining a general state of self-delusion—one that enabled him as a teenager to get up onstage for a 30-minute set with maybe four minutes' worth of jokes prepared.
Throughout, Birbiglia is buoyed by his earnestness, curiosity, and willingness to barrel through adversity with a goofy shrug. He was bullied in school, but doesn't try to solicit the reader's pity; instead, he'd rather talk about the time he got caught taking a shit in his backyard, or when he pleaded with his Catholic school teacher to let him perform an anti-drug parody of "Bust a Move" at a DARE seminar. This, despite not really knowing how to rap, or even having access to an instrumental version of the song.
It's Birbiglia's resiliency that one suspects has come in most handy. He nearly died as a toddler from a vicious gastro-intestinal virus. At 19, he was diagnosed with a malignant tumour in his bladder—which he says is actually funny, because he was also a hypochondriac, and getting cancer confirmed everything he'd ever suspected. He told his family, "See? I told you! Remember last week when I was overtired and thought I had rickets? I was probably right about that too. There are gonna be a lot of changes around here!"
In 1998, Birbiglia started walking in his sleep. For years he shrugged it off, never seeking serious treatment, despite unconsciously acting out more and more extreme behaviour. Eventually, in 2005, he dreamed a missile was pointed straight at him, so he jumped out of the window—except he did this in real life, too. In his hotel room. On the second floor. Through a closed window. "Like the Hulk," he kept telling staff at the hospital later.
You could hardly blame someone for wanting to keep this kind of event, both embarrassing and legitimately dangerous, to himself. That's precisely what his father advises. Birbiglia, however, decided to embrace it, to work it into his onstage routine—and it really can't be overstated how brave an act this is. It's hardly the kind of joke that most stand-ups tell, and for good reason. But it changed Birbiglia's whole trajectory as a comic. It made him stronger and more honest, and it gave him a brand new direction. This is the real climax of Sleepwalk with Me, and while Birbiglia may not spell it out as such, you'd have to be asleep yourself not to feel it.
And if you were wondering, he's not at risk anymore, either. Now Birbiglia sleeps wearing mittens, inside a sleeping bag that's zipped all the way up to his neck.

ABC News is runnning a story on a new law in Texas requiring schools to send "obesity report cards" to each child's parents. They find some lady, who needs to lose about 80 pounds herself, who wishes this had happened years ago. You see, her 12-year-old daughter is 100 pounds overweight, and, well...
Well, what? If only she had received a fat report on the girl, this lady would have noticed that her daughter has a completely speherical shape? I mean, it never occurred to her that her own example and what she was feeding the girl had any connection to her Jabbba-the-Hut-like appearance? While the girl gulped down that fifth hotdog, it never crossed the mind of this dingbat of a mother that four franks might have been plenty?
What is disgusting about people like this is that, because of their own stupidity, they feel self-righteous about bringing the State further into the lives of the rest of us.

Endogenous Strategic Business Cycles
AbstractThis paper examines an overlapping generations version of the Shapley-Shubik market game. We show existence of equilibria for the simple one commodity model and analyze the dynamics of the equilibrium trajectories generated in the model. Because of the non-linearities generated by strategic interaction of agents in the model, we find that complex and chaotic equilibrium dynamics are possible in this model for a much broader range of preferences than those for which Grandmont (1985) found complicated dynamics in the perfectly competitive version of this model. These results, then, provide an alternative to the usual technology-based explanation for the historical fact that business cycles became an important economic phenomenon only with the onset of industrialization.

Mobile patent lawsuits
Mike Bostock visualizes mobile patent lawsuits, improving on a graphic from Thomson Reuters that wasn't so good. Dashed lines are resolved suits and green ones are licenses to the company.
Thomson Reuters published a rather abysmal infographic showing the "bowl of spaghetti" that is current flurry of patent-related suits in the mobile communications industry. So, inspired by a comment by John Firebaugh, I remade the visualization to better convey the network. That company in the center? Yeah, it's the world's largest, so little wonder it has the most incoming suits.
Here's the original, which is a mess of squigglies:
Bostock's is way easier to read and interpret. There's no criss-crossing, and placement actually means something. Interactive version here.
By the way, This American Life recently did a great episode on the whole mess that is patents and lawsuits. It's interesting even if you're not in to tech-related news.
7 Comments
You know, there is one advantage to Thomson-Reuter's infographic – it *looks* more complicated and tangled. When you're trying to convey a particular slant on an issue (here, for instance, that the lawsuit situation is messy) you might sacrifice utility as a tool for understanding who's suing who in exchange for increasing the "at a glance" communicative impact. The TR graphic is less useful for understanding the details, but may be more useful for grasping the overall situation – at least for the message slant that the patent suits are tangled.
The android information is missing (another node or just google) and also Motorola was bought by Google. Adding this information puts Google in the middle of the mess…
This version is better to read, but I don't like the green arrows. They are not easily to distinguish from the black arrows, but symbolize something completely different.
The two green arrows are too close to special cases.
It's interesting to see Kodak in the middle of suits and counter-suits, and Microsoft in a similar situation. Microsoft's demise has been predicted as often as the second coming of Christ (and with as much accuracy), but it's interesting to see it in graphical form.
The Guardian compared different charts addressing this topic (8 Oct 2010), and selected this as their favorite:
I think there are still ways to improve it. The green does not stand out very much, and it is hard to distinguish between the types of lines. Even if you were able to, I think the arrow should be reversed as HTC is the one that is paying money to Microsoft.
To pack additional data, there would be two types of arrows – one for pending lawsuit, and other for resolved. In every resolved case, the arrow would be able to tell you whose favor it was resolved in. Also, it would be helpful if the clusters were marked in someway, such as Hardware Vendors, OS Vendors and such..
There have been several attempts to visualize the mobile patents mess – I've collected them here. Mike's does stand out as one of the best efforts. Adding an Android flag should be fairly easy to accommodate. The recent acquisition of Motorola by Google does change the landscape somewhat.

Luke Massa will return to the quarterback position at Notre Dame, at least for one game.
The 6-foot-4, 237-pound senior will be the third string quarterback when No. 14 Irish play Temple on Saturday because freshman Malik Zaire was ruled out of the game because he has mononucleosis.
"He's on the back end of it," coach Brian Kelly told reporters Thursday about Zaire. "We were really hopeful that we thought we were going to get him cleared today. But he didn't get cleared. We are going to be hopeful for Monday."
Massa was recruited to Notre Dame as a quarterback but switched to receiver in 2011.
Kelly said Massa has taken reps at quarterback this week, but the coach hopes he doesn't have to use Massa in an emergency situation. Tommy Rees will start against Temple, and Andrew Hendrix is the backup.
"We could put (Massa) in the game on Saturday," Kelly said. "He could get us out of the game Saturday. I don't want to play him if I don't have to. It would have to be an emergency situation, but he can get us out of the game Saturday.
"For a guy who got two days, three days of work, it would be nice if we got him in a game and it wasn't because of injury."

ANSYS® Fluent™ 15 has been released and introduces a new parallel compatible FVUNS export for FieldView. We recommend that this export be used as the default for all ANSYS Fluent datasets as it will result in dramatic performance increases. Performance increases of 5x on 8 cores are typical and this performance boost comes at no cost to FieldView users.
FieldView 14 standard licenses support use of up to 8 processor cores per dataset. For HPC users, additional scalability (32, 64, or unlimited cores) is available at moderate additional cost. Run FieldView on a local system, on-site or cloud-based server, even across virtualized resources all standard and with maximum performance.
The export is available from the FLUENT Text User Interface (TUI). Simple instructions are available from IL support.

Early Adopters are Reporting Sustainable Competitive Advantages
FieldView is designed for scalability. Every FieldView 14 license will run on 8 CPU cores per dataset and high performance computing (HPC) users can run 64 or unlimited cores at moderate additional cost, eliminating often prohibitive per-processor licensing fees. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) data management with FieldView 14 makes it easy to work with large amounts of data that reside anywhere: on a local workstation, on-site, remote or cloud-based server without sacrificing performance. Whether your data is measured in megabytes, gigabytes or terabytes, if you are waiting for data to copy or load, you will benefit from the speed and power of FieldView.
Where innovation is the lifeblood of the business, FieldView and HPC are allowing winning organizations to outpace competitors and thrive through rapid, knowledge based product development. Three of the top four Formula 1 racing teams are using FieldView and exploiting HPC for their aerodynamics engineering with dramatically improved results. Small- and medium-sized manufacturers and consultancies (SMBs) are managing design risk and accelerating their pace of development with HPC and FieldView. With FieldView 14, some key operations are 100s of times faster than in previous releases.
Steve Legensky, General Manager at Intelligent Light said, "For many it is fast becoming a game of survival to expand their knowledge base and to make better design decisions many times faster than ever before. They utilize simulation and expertise to extend and sustain competitive advantage, or risk sacrificing their ability to compete at the profitable leadership position in product development. FieldView has evolved over many years to allow users to meet this challenge and users are leaving many of their traditional, large data limitations behind. Our services team is designing and delivering highly productive engineered workflows that capture organizational expertise, automating existing processes and tools."
Engineering-driven organizations excel when many ideas are created and explored, design-risk is managed, and design cycles are short. HPC is facilitating the rapid generation of large volumes of CFD results data. For many, this has led to post-processing becoming a critical workflow bottleneck that prevents all these results from being evaluated. FieldView 14 removes the post-processing bottleneck from high-performance CFD workflows. Engineering leaders are using CFD simulation supported by HPC and engineered FieldView workflows that deliver actionable information sooner and free of expensive software cost penalties when using scalable computing.
Engineers Should Develop Designs and Processes, Not Limit Scope of Exploration
Leaders are quickly moving beyond traditional CFD and are utilizing FieldView in workflows that continually test many ideas through high-fidelity, time dependent simulations. The resulting data is rapidly processed at the source, relevant attributes isolated, and information needed to turn data into knowledge is delivered to engineers. HPC capacity is leveraged to explore vastly broadened design spaces.
FieldView 14 allows engineers to spend their time on the most important work exploiting trusted data to make informed engineering decisions. Intelligent Light is helping transform enterprises from those that are CFD knowledge rich to small engineering firms exploiting HPC enabled CFD.
"The parallel processing and data extract capabilities in FieldView 14 allowed me to run all the required and optional cases for the 2nd AIAA high Lift Prediction Workshop and deliver the required two-dimensional plotting data like force moments, velocity provides and surface pressures," said Earl P. N. Duque, Ph. D., Manager of Applied Research at Intelligent Light. "Early on I realized that I didn't have to limit the number of cases I ran. I had enough computer time to create the solutions if I could avoid a bottleneck sifting through the large data files. FieldView automation and data management allowed me to use the HPC resources to not only run the simulations but also extract out the plot information for all the cases."
Intelligent Light has received a nomination for an IDC HPC Innovation Excellence Award for work with large data management and received three nominations for HPCwire Readers' Choice Awards for contributions to the effective and affordable use of HPC for CFD, including FieldView 14.
"CFD data management and effective engineered workflows are making it possible for organizations large and small to use HPC capability to run detailed and thorough design studies to reduce uncertainty and risk to meet the criteria accepted for physical testing, " commented Legensky. "The speed and productivity of HPC enabled CFD are providing leading organizations with a tremendous acceleration in their design cycle and ability to explore design alternatives."
About Intelligent Light
Winner of the HPC Innovation Excellence Award, Intelligent Light provides industry-leading software and services that unlock the power and value of a highly productive CFD workflow for engineering and research organizations in a variety of industries around the world. The company's flagship FieldView™ product line is the most widely used CFD post-processing software for engineering and research, encompassing data management, workflow automation, visualization, and more.

Shakira wants '8 or 9' kids
Shakira admits she'd like to have ''eight or nine'' children with her partner Gerard Piqué, but insists her plans to have their second child are on hold for the time being.
Shakira wants to have ''eight or nine'' children.
The 'Cant Remember to Forget You' hitmaker - who has 15-month-old son Milan with her partner Gerard Piqué - admits her career has forced her to put her plans for her second child on hold for the time being, but she insists she'd like to have a big family eventually.
She said: ''If it weren't because of my music projects, I would be pregnant already. I would love to have eight or nine kids with Gerard--my own soccer team.''
However, despite the 37-year-old singer's busy schedule, she insists her first born Milan will always come top on her list of priorities.
She explained: ''I used to go in circles around an idea, but since he arrived I don't have much time--I have to rush back home--so he has helped me learn how to focus.
''When you have a baby, when you feel his love, you feel so at peace with the world. You just want to share the good news and share how happy you feel.''
Meanwhile, Shakira believes she and Gerard - whom she has been dating for four years - share a true loving relationship, rather than a romance based on fame.
She told April's edition of Latina magazine: ''He's with me because he wants to be with Shakira the person, not the celebrity. There's real love. There's no ulterior motives. And I'm with him because he's the most amazing man I've ever met. We want the same things, we like the same things, we hate the same things. I have never been with someone so passionate in my life.''

Designed to accentuate the incredible display, the deep black, soft-touch back is understated, with the exception of a metallic red camera bezel, while the red microgrill pattern of the sidewalls hint at the phone's DROID heritage and the power inside. The beautifully crafted smartphone feels thinner than other devices of a similar size as the edges of the curved back taper to a mere 4mm for a comfortable feel in the hand or pocket.
The Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ S4 Pro processor, featuring a quad-core 1.5 GHz CPU and high-performance GPU, paired with America's largest 4G LTE network from Verizon Wireless and a full 2G of RAM enable the seamless use of multiple apps simultaneously. With HTC Sense® 4+ and Android™ 4.1.1 (Jelly Bean), you get great software experiences including Google Now. HTC Sense 4+ offers a wealth of easy-to-use and customizable features bringing highly sought after personalization to your phone and placing the most important content front and center. A series of intelligent features powered by HTC Sense 4+ also provides a number of improvements to the camera.
Amazing Camera
The DROID DNA by HTC has a world-class camera that delivers fast image capture, great images even in low-light and an easy interface to capture stills and video. With an 8-megapixel f/2.0 28mm wide-angle lens, 5-level automatic flash, backside illuminated sensor (BSI), and superfast autofocus, you'll capture amazing moments without the worry of missing a single one. Instead of choosing between photos and video, HTC VideoPic™ allows you to capture video and still images at the same time. And by simply holding the shutter button, Continuous Shooting takes multiple photos at up to four frames per second to catch all the action.
It also includes a new best-in-class 2.1-megapixel, f/2.0, 88-degree, ultra-wide angle, front-facing camera that allows more to be captured in self-portraits, and up to four people for group shots. Auto Portrait makes it easier to take photos of yourself and your friends with automatic face detection and a countdown timer so you can focus on your pose and not the shutter button. Capable of capturing 1080p HD video, the front-facing camera also provides a sharper picture during video chat.
Authentic Sound
The DROID DNA by HTC has a unique, 2.55-volt, built-in headset amplifier and dedicated amp for the external rear-speaker to help boost the audio signal to deliver crystal clear sound with less distortion, even at maximum volume. The combination of amplified hardware and the rich, authentic, studio-quality sound of Beats Audio™ allows music to be heard the way the artist intended, and enhances the sound quality while playing games or watching video.
Additional Features
The DROID DNA by HTC is equipped with a 2,020 mAh battery and power saving software that enables long-lasting endurance. In addition, the embedded wireless charging makes it easy and convenient to top off power throughout the day or fully charge overnight, simply by setting the phone down.

Long before she was a reality star, Bethenny Frankel was an aspiring actress! At 24 years old, she starred in the 1994 movie Hollywood Hills 90028, playing Laura, a woman who becomes obsessed with a man -- only to start killing the people around him. Proving how comfortable she was with her body, Frankel even went topless for the film. The following year, Frankel played Bridgett in Wish Me Luck, a film about a genie who goes to a college to help out a nerdy student.

Sesimbra (Portuguese pronunciation: [sɨˈzĩbɾɐ]) is a municipality of Portugal, in the Setúbal District, lying at the foothills of the Serra da Arrábida, a mountain range between Setúbal and Sesimbra.
Due to its particular position at the Setúbal Bay, near the mouth of the Sado River and its natural harbour, it's an important fishing town, with a total area of 195.0 km2 (75 sq mi) and a total population of 37,567 inhabitants.
The present Mayor is Augusto Pólvora.
General information[edit]
Besides professional fishing and sport fishing (mainly of swordfish), the most significant revenues in Sesimbra come from tourism. The town is famous for its beaches, fish restaurants and nightlife.
The original name of Celtic origin was Cempsibriga, meaning the Burg (Briga) of the Celtic tribe the Sesim.
Close by, on a mountaintop, 240 m (787.40 ft) above sea level, lies strategically (the ruins of) the Moorish castle. It was taken from the Moors, during the Portuguese Reconquista in the year 1165 by king Afonso Henriques with the help of Frank Crusaders. The battlements afford a beautiful panorama over Sesimbra, its harbour and the surrounding countryside.
During the Age of Discoveries, Sesimbra became an important seaport. Even king Manuel I lived here for a while. In the 17th century the fort Fortaleza de Santiago was built along the beach, as part of Portugal's coastal defence. On 3 June 1602 an English fleet defeated a Spanish galley fleet and in addition captured a large Portuguese carrack and severely damaged the fort. It was even used in the 18th century by Portuguese kings as a seaside retreat.
A tourist travelling to Sesimbra can appreciate its beaches, traditional fish restaurants and the Arrábida National Park. Sesimbra is a popular diving location close to Lisbon and the most famous dive site is the wreck of the River Gurara, a Nigerian cargo ship, that sunk in 1989 with the lose of 45 sailors.[1]
Close to the Moorish castle is the church Nossa Senhora do Castelo. It stands on the spot where king Sancho I built a Romanesque chapel in the early 13th century, leading to the creation in 1388 of the parish of Nossa Senhora do Castelo de Sesimbra. The present church was built in 1721. When a new church was built in the village, this church passed into disuse and fell into ruins. It was restored between 1965 and 2001. The walls of the church are inlaid with beautiful azulejos. The 17th century-pulpit was made from local pink marble. The gilded triumphal arch of the 18th century-choir is decorated with Manueline motives. On the left side of the choir stands in a niche the gilded and polychromed statue of the Madonna of the Castle on a giant shell.
There is a local radio station in the municipality, Sesimbra FM.
Administratively, the municipality is divided into 3 civil parishes (freguesias):[2]
- Castelo
- Quinta do Conde
- Santiago
International relations[edit]
Twin towns - Sister cities[edit]
Sesimbra is a founding member of the Douzelage, a unique town twinning association of 24 towns across the European Union. This active town twinning began in 1991 and there are regular events, such as a produce market from each of the other countries and festivals.[3][4] Discussions regarding membership are also in hand with three further towns (Agros in Cyprus, Škofja Loka in Slovenia, and Tryavna in Bulgaria).

July 28, 2010 by Kassi Schmitt at 11:14:26 am Trying to catch the eye of in-house counsel? Social media is becoming hard to ignore
Now, more than ever, buyers of legal services are influenced by social media tools. Blogs, Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn and Wikipedia are playing important roles in the everyday lives of law firms and the way that information is shared by members of the legal community. And here's more proof…
Greentarget Strategic Communications, ALM Legal Intelligence and Zeughauser Group conducted a survey of 164 in-house counsel to analyze new media adoption among buyers of legal services. Some interesting results from the Corporate Counsel New Media Engagement Survey include:

July 28, 2010 by Robert Tharp at 10:46:03 am SWA Could Have Handled Flight Flap Better, Says Dallas Aviation Attorney William Angelley
Dallas-based Southwest Airlines has long been viewed as a maverick in the aviation industry, still (!) offering passengers free peanuts and employing flight attendants who aren't afraid to call you "hon."
While Southwest is the envy of other airlines when it comes to passenger goodwill and loyalty, it can't seem to catch a break when it comes to oversized- or inappropriately dressed passengers. Earlier this year, actor/director Kevin "Silent Bob" Smith lit up the Internet when he was forced to deplane after Southwest flight attendants told him he was too large for a single seat.The opposite occurred last week when a reed-thin 110-pound passenger flying standby was removed from a plane to make room for an obese 14-year-old who required two seats.
While Southwest is on firm legal ground, Dallas aviation attorney William Angelley says the airline could have handled the situation better. "They probably should have asked for volunteers in order to make a seat for this 14 year old," William Angelley of Hightower-Angelley LLP tells MyFoxDFW's Peter Daut.
The incident occurred during boarding for a Southwest flight from Las Vegas to Sacramento. A 110-pound passenger, who was flying standby, had settled into her seat when the airplane crew asked her to deplane to make room for a 14-year-old passenger who needed two seats due to the individual's weight.
"It's a very sensitive issue and it's a very real issue because the airlines have seats of certain size," Angelley, a former Navy pilot, tells Daut. "They can't retool these aircraft – it would be cost-prohibitive to do that."
Angelley, who has commercial pilot ratings for both airplanes and helicopters, says Southwest Airlines acted well within its rights in removing the woman to make way for the larger passenger, who arrived late. Southwest Airlines tells Daut that the incident was atypical.
Angelley gained first-hand experience in aviation as a pilot in the United States Navy. Angelley began his career in Dallas defending aviation insurance companies, maintenance facilities and manufacturers. Using the expertise he gained during these years, he later began representing individuals and families upon joining a New York-based firm specializing in plaintiffs' aviation litigation. He worked in the firm's New York and Los Angeles offices and was promoted to partner during his time there. During the course of his career, Angelley has been involved in numerous commercial, military and general aviation cases.
July 27, 2010 by Robert Tharp at 3:05:17 pm Concealing evidence? You've got to be crazy
In Curious CIPRO Patent Defense, Bayer Lawyers Say That's Their Point
There was little surprise when lawyers for preaching drifter Brian David Mitchell indicated they plan to enter an insanity plea when his trial for the high-profile 2002 kidnapping of Utah youth Elizabeth Smart begins in November. After all, the insanity defense is a time-worn tool in criminal-defense circles. But such an approach is practically unheard of civil litigation, and that's what makes pharmaceutical giant Bayer's appeal seeking to defend the validity of its patent on the antibiotic, Cipro, so curious.
As BNET writer Jim Edwards notes in his recent blog post, Cipro lawyers are throwing two Bayer executives under the bus in a unique way, saying the two concealed or failed to disclose important evidence because they suffered from a laundry list of mental impairments
As Edwards explains: "In an appeal filing in a California state court, Bayer purportedly claims that two executives who may have concealed evidence showing its patents on Cipro were invalid must be mistaken because they suffer from 'depression,' 'confused thinking,' were elderly, had a 'cerebral hemorrhage' and 'Parkinson's or related degenerative disease involving extreme mental degeneration.'"
The novel defense was identified in an appeal filed by plaintiffs' attorney Dan Drachler and his team from Zwerling, Schachter & Zwerling that has its own unique twist.
The appeal was initially filed under seal, based on an order in the original California court that was designed to protect "sensitive" business information. But at Drachler's insistence, the seal was vacated July 2, allowing Bayer's "insanity" defense and the full accounting of the millions of dollars involved in "pay to delay" agreements with generic manufacturers including Barr (now Teva) to come to light.
The full unredacted filing can be found here, with the formerly sealed information highlighted.
July 27, 2010 by Robert Tharp at 1:41:48 pm In "A Happy Healthy You," Dallas Lawyer Mary Jo McCurley Pens Book, Shares Wisdom From a Career as Life Coach and Family Law Attorney
As a nationally respected life coach and family law attorney, Dallas attorney Mary Jo McCurley has plenty to say about tackling life's challenges and finding success and fulfillment along the way.
Now, McCurley, a partner in McCurley Orsinger McCurley Nelson & Downing, has teamed with four other women's health experts to publish "A Happy, Healthy You: A Woman's Guide to Happiness, Health & Harmony." Together with two medical doctors, a psychologist and an exercise physiologist, these women share their knowledge on how women over 35 can make the second half of their lives better than the first.
Some of the points the women discuss in their new book:
"This book is about more than possibilities," says co-author Mary Jo McCurley. "It's about making life choices that make us younger than our years and help us, with each new day, to look forward to what life has to offer. It is within our control to be happier, healthier, and more in harmony with our world."
July 26, 2010 by Robert Tharp at 4:27:41 pm Inventor Successfully Sparred Spam E-mail, Sets Sites on Major Corporations Using His Patent
That your e-mail inbox isn't completely hobbled by the daily tsunami of spam e-mail messages can be traced back to a little-known inventor named Robert Uomini and his company, InNova Patent Licensing LLC. InNova holds U.S. Patent No. 6,018,761, which covers technology that enables computers to weed out all those bogus Viagra messages and great deals on discount watches. The patent was awarded to Mr. Uomini, an inventor and mathematician, nearly 15 years ago when Internet e-mail was still in its formative stages.
This week, InNova filed a lawsuit against 36 companies accused of violating the patent. Patent-infringement attorney Christopher Banys of The Lanier Law Firm, lead counsel for InNova, recently told The American Lawyer magazine that e-mail as we know it would stop working without InNova's patent. From the article: "Banys told us it's impossible to overestimate the importance of InNova's patented system. 'If we didn't have this technology in e-mail, the volume of spam online would make it virtually unusable,' he said."
The lawsuit, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas in Marshall, names some of the world's most recognizable companies as defendants, including Apple, JC Penney Co., Google, Dr Pepper Snapple Group, Inc., Frito-Lay, Inc., Bank of America Corporation and more. Why so many companies? From The American Lawyer: "InNova spent more than a decade trying to persuade operating companies to acknowledge the value of Uomini's patent before deciding it had no choice but to sue."
The case is InNova Patent Licensing, LLC v. 3Com Corporation, et al., No. 10-cv-251.
July 20, 2010 by Scott Holcomb at 10:24:55 am Hankinson and Levinger Named Among Texas' Best
Founding partners Deborah Hankinson and Jeffrey Levinger of the Dallas-based civil appellate firm Hankinson Levinger LLP earned yet another top ranking to add to their list of achievements.
They were recognized as two of Texas' top appellate lawyers in the Chambers USA 2010 legal directory.
Chambers USA is an annual U.K. based publication that recognizes the top business law firms and leading individual attorneys in the United States. Their selection for this prestigious honor was based on in-depth interviews with both peers and clients.
The publication stated that the "incredibly talented" Deborah Hankinson "is recommended for her intimate knowledge of judiciary procedures and her seasoned approach" while Jeffrey Levinger is cited as a "highly experienced, talented and knowledgeable appellate specialist."
This honor is just one of their latest as both have been named among Texas' top lawyers in the Texas Super Lawyers list since it was first published in 2003 and have both been recognized in The Best Lawyers in America.
Additionally, Ms. Hankinson has been listed as one of D Magazine's Best Women Lawyers in Dallas and is ranked by Texas Lawyer newspaper as one of the state's "Go-To" appellate attorneys. And Mr. Levinger, who serves as Chairman of the State Bar of Texas Committee on Pattern Jury Charges, was named to "The Defenders," an elite list of North Texas' top business defense attorneys published by the Dallas Business Journals earlier this year.
July 9, 2010 by Robert Tharp at 3:04:34 pm Bankruptcy biz booming for for midsize law firms.
McKool Smith has added two veteran litigators and a former federal bankruptcy clerk in the firm's rapidly growing Houston office. It's another signal that law firms without a banking clientele or traditional expertise in bankruptcy matters can experience rapid growth through the bankruptcy sector. As The Wall Street Journal reported in April, larger full-service law firms are increasingly running into conflicts of interest and can't bring litigation against banks and other financial service firms that are current or former clients, a situation further complicated by consolidation in the banking business. Those ethics rules have opened the door for midsize trial firms such as McKool Smith
Writes the WSJ's Nathan Koppel: Big blue-chip law firms are losing potentially lucrative assignments to smaller firms even as the industry sees a spike in lawsuits against banks stemming from the financial crisis. The reason for the change: ethics rules that govern conflicts of interest for lawyers and their firms. Law firms usually can't sue or investigate banks that they have represented, unless the clients take the unusual step of waiving the conflict. Thus, many small to midsize firms, which count fewer banks as defense clients, are filling a growing demand for conflict-free lawyers able to file lawsuits against banks.
Consolidation in the banking business has made it only harder for law firms to handle lawsuits against banks. It is increasingly difficult, lawyers said, for firms to find a major bank they haven't represented at some point. As a result, they are bumping up against the conflict-of-interest rules formulated by the American Bar Association and state bar groups.
"The addition of these three excellent lawyers is part of our overall goal to become one of the top bankruptcy shops anywhere in the country," says Hugh M. Ray , a veteran bankruptcy attorney who joined McKool Smith in October of last year to establish the practice and manage the firm's Houston office. "With bankruptcies and related litigation on the rise, and more and more law firms facing client conflicts in bankruptcy-related work, we expect to grow our group significantly in the coming months."
Christopher D. Johnson, Ruth A. Van Meter and Nicholas Zugaro collectively bring more than 30 years of bankruptcy experience to McKool Smith, having represented Chapter 11 debtors, official unsecured creditors committees, creditors, and Chapter 7 trustees in significant cases heard in federal bankruptcy courts across the nation.
July 9, 2010 by Robert Tharp at 11:23:08 am Family law attorney Brad LaMorgese: In Splitsville, Texting Has Become Weapon of Choice
When divorce, child custody and other family law matters turn nasty, family law attorney Brad LaMorgese says the allegations rarely involve the kind of he-said she-said allegations alone like they did just a few years ago. Today, juries considering family law cases routinely consider text messages, social media postings and other electronic communications.
In fact, rude, taunting and threatening text messages have become the weapon of choice among parties going through divorce. The Washington Post noted last month how text messages are incleasingly used by estranged lovers and those trying to harass.
Harassment is "just easier now, and it's even more persistent and constant, with no letting up," says Claire Kaplan, director of sexual and domestic violence services at the University of Virginia, which became the focus of national attention in May with the killing of 22-year-old lacrosse player Yeardley Love.
Estranged spouses increasingly harass each other with direct messages sent at all hours, and their current flames often jump in by sending salacious photos meant to enrage the ex. "Needless to say, text messages provide useful evidence," says LaMorgese of McCurley Orsinger McCurley Nelson & Downing. "Texting can show a track record of harassment, rude behavior or activities that are not reflective of good parenting. The contents of these messages can be pivotal in property division and child custody cases." Such messages are on the rise and expected to become even more pervasive simply because wireless technology makes this form of communication so easy.

Festival Kicks-off Holiday Shopping in Kennebec
Donna Anderson was among the large crowd of over 300 people who attended the Kennebec Holiday Festival Saturday. Twenty vendors displayed their products, many with a holiday theme. Pat McNaughton was the lucky winner of $45 in the Greater Lyman Foundation half & half drawing, Logan Schelske won the $50 Visa card, and many others won door prizes donated by the vendors. "It was phenomenal considering the snow we had Friday night into Saturday," said organizer Sandy Mundlien.
