That didn't take long – The Guardian to introduce subscriptions to its iPhone app
When The Guardian newspaper introduced its paid-for iPhone app to rave reviews, we questioned how long its upkeep could be sustained by a one-off payment. Although, in once sense, any income derived from a dedicated app can be viewed as additional since The Guardian's content is already being produced for its daily newspaper, online is eating away at those revenues, so it's… Read More
When the market can't decide – European Commission to address mobile fragmentation
In another example of Europe's bureaucrats leaving themselves open to accusations that they're meddling in issues that are best left to the marketplace, the European Commission has announced the launch of MOSQUITO (Mobile software and services, Standardisation, Quality, Interoperability, Testing, Open source), a €700,000 research project to "develop a better understanding… Read More
We're all in this together – NavFree sees 70,000 OpenStreetMap updates in a month
NavFree, the free Sat-Nav solution for iPhone (and iPad) from Navmii, has seen more than half a million downloads in its first month and is growing at a rate of 10,000 new users per day. That's not too shabby considering that it's a UK & Republic of Ireland-only offering, although perhaps not so surprising considering the app's free-ness and the expense of some of… Read More

Ka-Ching! One million Brits have used PayPal to make a payment on their mobile phone
I have a love-hate relationship with PayPal. I love the fact that the service makes it possible to send money to anybody who has an email address. But, having been paid my wages via PayPal in a previous job, I hate the charges that are sometimes inflicted on the receiver or sender (I could never work out which and why – something to do with being forced to upgrade to a Pro account… Read More
Quotables launches as a Delicious-for-quotations but with CafePress revenue model
Quotables, which soft launched in August, is aiming to become the destination for finding and sharing quotations online by embracing social media and crowdsourcing to organise its, largely, user generated database of quotes and to weed out misquotations and misattributions.

Field Agent launches in the UK as an Amazon Mechanical Turk for field research
Field Agent, a new iPhone app that launches in the UK today, is bringing the Amazon Mechanical Turk model to field research, although the company, a licensee of the Field Agent brand and model already launched in the US, probably won't entirely appreciate the comparison. The location-based app lets companies crowdsource their field market research and related activities so that instead… Read More
Geomium gets UK roll out, early signs are that users are relaxed about sharing location
Location-based social network Geomium is getting an official UK roll out today, having launched in London-only last month. Although in actual fact, the GPS-powered app is accessible from anywhere, it's just the amount of supported local information that differs. The UK startup also says that it's seen more than 100,000 downloads of the Geomium iPhone app since launch and that the… Read More

AnchorFree's Expat Shield targets iPlayer loving Brits abroad
It's a question I've been asked many times: How to watch UK television abroad over the Internet.

As a result… Read More
Spotify sees a future with HP's Palm, launches on webOS
Say what you will about Spotify's delayed US launch or whether its freemium model is ultimately flawed, but when it comes to rolling out mobile clients, the music streaming service can't be bettered.

I've coauthored two books about programming, and in both I heard the complaint (paraphrasing) "There wasn't one cohesive example that was built up chapter-through-chapter." There's a reason for that. Back in the 90's, I did a lot of programming in Delphi, and bought many hundreds of dollars worth of books. By far the best, for my purposes, was Delphi Component Design - and the reason I loved...

It is a very particular scream that Capt Bill Hagan hears in his mind when he relives the two-and-a-half minutes of pandemonium in the cockpit of his shuddering, falling jumbo jet. A man's scream. The sort of scream he had never heard in his life. "It went up, and it went down, and it went on," he says. "It is one of my enduring memories."
Hagan has been showered with bravery awards since he saved 400 lives on December 29, 2000 by disabling a crazed passenger who stormed the flight deck of his plane, sending it into a series of terrible nosedives. His wife and two children were among those on board. So were five members of the Goldsmith family and the singer Bryan Ferry. Their descriptions of their mental turmoil as the plane fell, lurched and fell again, dropping 10,000ft in all, were so graphic that the Nairobi flight has become one of aviation history's most dramatic episodes.
No one expected to survive. And they would probably not have survived unless Hagan, exhausted after trying to wrestle the 6ft Kenyan from the controls, suddenly remembered what he had told his small son he would do in case of a shark attack: he would gouge the creature's eyes. It wasn't in any manual and it wasn't in simulator training, but Hagan did the most effective thing possible: stuck one of his large fingers into Paul Mukonyi's eye. From that moment on, he and his crew could start to stabilise the plane. Seconds later, it would have been irrecoverable.
It's no surprise to learn that Hagan sees nothing heroic in what he did. Pilots are programmed to underplay drama in the skies and to preserve the ethic that being called on to avert catastrophe is all in a day's work. Hagan refers blandly to "the Nairobi incident". Most pilots, he says, have to "act positively" once or twice in their careers. And there are guidelines about "recovery from unusual attitudes" - dealing with lunatics, to you and me.
Even as an occasional after-dinner speaker, Hagan has said little about the effects of flight BA2069 on his life until now. He has carried on flying long-haul for British Airways, ostensibly a man well-adjusted both to his 15 minutes of fame and the loss of it. Last week, he was compulsorily retired from BA, having reached 55, and has joined the no-frills airline easyJet. It will mean he can have a more normal home life with his wife, Charmaine, and their children, Alanna, 16, and Aidan, 10. But their shared drama over the Sudan has changed them all in different ways.
Hagan was fast asleep in his bunk, and his co-pilot Phil Watson was flying the plane, when Mukonyi, a student "built like Mike Tyson", burst into the cockpit and went for the controls at 35,000 ft. Jolted awake by the violent movement of the plane, Hagan raced for the flight deck and found Watson being overwhelmed by the Kenyan.
"He was like a man possessed. I jumped on his back and tried to wrestle him away. I'm not as fit as I should be. I had been really struggling with this guy for a couple of minutes, heaving and pulling and really putting every physical effort into getting him off the controls.
"Each time, I would try harder than the time before, but I realised it wasn't working. I thought the only thing I could do to break him off was to stick my finger in his eye - a horrible thing to do, but it was that or risk 400 lives."
The curious thing is that, until then, Hagan had never felt an exceptional responsibility for his human cargo. Pilots are trained to fly planes. They "fly the cockpit"; they fly the procedures; they do not consciously fly passengers. "You are responsible for getting the plane safely to its destination," says Hagan. "You fly according to your company's standard operating procedures [SOPs]."
The job is the same, he says, whether there are four or 400 passengers. But this changed for Hagan over the Sudan. "When I was shaken awake and I heard the cries for help, it suddenly weighed very heavily on my mind that here were 400 people and it was my plane."
The scene was like an airline disaster movie. In the struggle, Mukonyi bit Hagan's ear and one of his fingers. "There was a fair amount of blood about." As soon as Mukonyi was tied up, a breathless, broken-voiced Hagan made an announcement: "A bad man has just tried to kill us all, but everything is fine now."
He says: "I desperately wanted to reassure the passengers as soon as possible. One moment, they felt they were in enormous danger, with the aircraft vibrating and buffeting. The next, they thought it was all over. There had been four or five short breaks when the aircraft seemed nearly normal and I wanted them to know this wasn't another false hope."
Jemima Khan, who was travelling on the Boeing 747 with her two young sons, her mother, Lady Annabel Goldsmith, and her brother, Benjamin, recalls how Hagan calmly came on air, a few minutes later, "sounding just like Sean Connery".
Only when the mayhem was over did Hagan remember his wife and children were on board. Though Alanna, then 14, was unaffected, Aidan, then eight, has become anxious, acutely conscious of the potential for danger in everything and always needing to be close to his father. He had wanted to be an airline pilot. "Not any more," says Hagan. "He won't fly at all unless it is with me. He thinks his dad is the only safe pilot in the world.
"My job is to convince him that flying is safe. I tell him that you have to fly once a day every year for 3,000 years to be pretty sure of being involved in one fatal accident. I think I am succeeding." A few days ago, Hagan made his final long-haul flight for BA, from London to Washington, and Aidan asked to come along, too.
Charmaine Hagan is a job-share stewardess with BA. She and the children, travelling to London separately from their home in Glasgow, only just made flight BA2069 because of bad weather. The family was to spend new year together in Kenya. She says the near-crash has taught them to live every day to the full and to differentiate between the trivial and the important. "Instead of being cautious about things, now we say: 'Let's do it'. In the past two years, we haven't wasted a moment."
Hagan knows that, as captain, he would have taken the blame if the aircraft had gone down. But he is reluctant to receive most of the applause for its rescue when his two first officers, Phil Watson and Richard Webb, proved valiant aviators. "I cannot claim any credit for flying the aeroplane. I was getting this chap off the controls so that my co-pilot could fly the aircraft."
Though Hagan seems a solid, unflappable man, the experience has made him less easy about long-haul flights. During his mandatory rest periods, he never had any difficulty in sleeping through air turbulence. Now, he invariably wakes on "full alert". His most effective form of catharsis has been to write a 100,000-word memoir, with "the Nairobi incident" at its centre.
Often, he escapes to Largs, where he has a 40ft sailing boat called El Obeid - named after the Sudanese village where the jumbo so nearly came down. At the helm, Aidan is learning to recover his confidence. "I let him take control of the boat and it makes him feel he is in charge of his destiny. That is a good lesson to learn at 10 years old."
Hagan is from Newcastle, Co. Down. Although he was 19 before he travelled by plane for the first time, schoolfriends remember him as a boy who always wanted to be a pilot. After graduating from Queen's University in aeronautical engineering, he joined a BEA/BOAC sponsorship scheme and qualified as a commercial pilot in 13 months. Last week, after more than 30 years' flying, he made an emotional journey to BA headquarters to hand in his ID and his captain's uniforms.
Lapsing into aircraft-speak, he says there have been other "unusual situations" in his long career, but nothing has come close to the events of flight BA2069.
"We are trained to face all kinds of scenarios, but it is a pretty cold feeling when you face it in reality." He was profoundly upset by September 11. "It affected me more than most people because I found it a chilling reminder of the Nairobi incident. As the second tower was hit, I realised that it was a terrorist attack and that whoever was behind it had probably taken a huge interest in what happened to us over the Sudan. Ours was not a simple hijacking. I believe it was a suicidal hijacking."
He never forgets that it was meant to end with a colossal loss of life. "That sticks with me. It sticks with my family."

Mexico City, a Cultural Guide
David Lida Chronicles Daily Life in Mexico's Capital City
David Lida first visited Mexico City in 1987 as a tourist and moved there in 1990 to work as a freelance journalist. He has now written a fast-paced account of daily life in a city that defines description: "First Stop in the New World: Mexico City, The Capital of the 21st Century."
In a brisk, engaging fashion, Mr. Lida, who is fluent in Spanish, chronicles many of the city's major neighborhoods, its food, its nightlife, and its art scene. There are break dancers, transvestites, prostitutes, foreign executives, Argentinean fashion models, wrestlers and street vendors.
Curious about where locals flock to for food after midnight? Mr. Lida tells you -- and even maintains a Web site, davidlida.com, that provides fresh vignettes about Mexico City. What about crime? Mr. Lida, who was once kidnapped with his former wife, suggests that the perception of danger outstrips the reality.
But in a city with a population of 20 million people spread across 560-square-miles, Mr. Lida, 48 years old, finds far more to marvel over and enjoy than to fret about. That he does so while exploring Mexican machismo as well as "malinchismo" -- Mexicans who favor other cultures over their own -- gives context to his reporting. The Wall Street Journal's Jeffrey A. Trachtenberg interviewed Mr. Lida by telephone.
WSJ: Mexico City has a reputation for being dangerous. What do you tell first-time visitors?
Mr. Lida: To exercise caution, to avoid ostentatious jewelry or watches, and to use radio taxis. I use taxis in the street but it's not a good idea for someone who doesn't know the city. If you do use a street taxi, check for legitimate license plates. These begin with the letters L, A or B. If the plates don't start with one of those letters, don't get in.
WSJ: Every neighborhood you describe sounds interesting. If you had just a few nights for a visit, where would stay and why?
Mr. Lida: I would stay in Centro Historico, which is downtown. It's the oldest part of Mexico City and the most fascinating part. You have the centuries of Mexico's history, architecturally and culturally, piled atop each other. You've also got really good restaurants, important museums, great bars and nightlife, and the best cantinas in the city. You can even walk around there at night if you are cautious.
WSJ: Parts of Mexico City are clearly wealthy and increasingly upscale. Did you come across resentment in the poorer communities?
Mr. Lida: The answer is complicated. There is some of what is called "coraje social," a phrase that indicates the rage of the have-nots. But a lot of people figure they are living their lot in life and get along without getting angry. Unfortunately, it isn't an upwardly mobile culture. Most people are born to a certain social class and never move out.
WSJ: How long did it take you to feel like you really knew the city -- and how did you know?
Mr. Lida: I still don't know the entire city, and guess that nobody knows all of it. I've been lucky in my work as a reporter. I've never covered press conferences or written the news of the day. I've always written features, which took me to different corners and helped me get to know the city in a way that many who live there never do. Most people only know the neighborhood where they live and work.
WSJ: Did you have a model in mind for how you wanted to write this book?
David Lida: The one writer to whom I would attribute the most influence is the New Yorker reporter Joseph Mitchell. His collection of articles, in terms of his broad compassion, love for a place, and ironic tone, had the most impact on me.
WSJ: How did you come up with your various chapter headings, such as "Our Rodeo Drive" and "Jesus of Iztapalapa"?
Mr. Lida: I knew that I wanted to alternate long substantial chapters with shorter vignettes. The form was interesting to me. For example, in the case of the chapter about Centro Historico, I knew that I would either get it right in a succinct Polaroid or I'd have to write 300 pages. I wanted the title chapters to be funny, enigmatic, and for the reader to have to read into them.
WSJ: One major publisher describes Mexico City as a very difficult place to sell books. What is the issue there?
Mr. Lida: People don't read a lot. It's as simple as that. And in a culture where people don't read a lot of books it's hard to sell them. There is also an economic issue. Books are expensive, and the minimum wage is $5 a day. Even a paperback costs more than that.
WSJ: Did people accept you?
Mr. Lida: Yes, from the day I arrived. Sure, there were people with a chip on their shoulder, but they were few and far between. I try to be respectful of their culture, and I've worn out a lot of shoe leather. That gets you respect. They know I've gotten to know neighborhoods they might not know. I'm still considered a gringo, but I feel like I'm their gringo.

Ceremony held at UN to mark Iran's National Day
Tue Feb 12, 2013 9:25AM
Pointing to the wide participation of political figures in the ceremony, Khaza'ee said, "The glorious holding of a ceremony to mark a country's national day is indicative of the lofty political standing of that country."Special ceremonies were also held at home and abroad on January 31 to remember the day in 1979 when the late founder of the Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Khomeini, returned to the Iranian capital after 15 years in exile. The day of Imam Khomeini's return to Iran marks the beginning of the celebrations, dubbed Ten Days of Dawn, that culminate in the anniversary of the victory of the Islamic Revolution on February 10. The Iranian nation toppled the US-backed Pahlavi regime 34 years ago, ending 2,500 years of monarchic rule in the country. The Islamic Revolution, under the guidance of Imam Khomeini, established a new political system based on Islamic values and democracy. YH/MA/HJL

The police called in all the people involved in the sex scandal for questioning Wednesday after a young couple walked on stage in the middle of a Cumshots concert Tuesday, took of their clothes and had sex, right there in front of the audience.
As sex in public places in illegal in Norway, the five Cumshots band members and the couple were fined NOK 10,000 (USD 1,470) each.
Law suit
Tommy Hol Ellingsen, age 28, and Leona Johansson, age 21, who pulled off the controversial stunt, have stated that they will not pay the fine.
«No, this fine is ridiculous,» Ellingsen said to TV 2 Nettavisen. «There will be no fine; there will be a court case and the whole nine yards.»
The couple has not yet hired a lawyer, but Ellingsen said he does not think that will be a problem.
«There is not a problem to locate one,» Ellingsen stated. «The case has gotten a lot of publicity, and there are probably a lot of lawyers who want this case.»
«It is ridiculous that we are prosecuted and sentenced on a moral basis at the same time as Norway is in the war against Iraq,» Ellingsen claimed. «Violence is aired on TV every day, and if this is so terrible, we could have called this performance art, and we wouldnt have been fined then.»
Festival not fined
Kristopher Schau and the rest of the members of Cumshots had Wednesday not yet decided whether or not to pay the fine they received because they allowed the sex stunt at their concert.
The festival management stated that they had no idea of what was going to go down on stage during Cumshots concert. Ellingsen and Johansson were listed as part of Cumshots crew. Management apologized for the stunt and apologized for the fact that the security guards did not going in and stop the concert.
The police have decided not to press charges against the festival management.

You can increase or decrease the size of this by adding or subtracting by 3's to the initial chain. This is my beautiful daughter Isabel modeling.

Some say the creature known only as "Orby" is an alien vagabond who crash-landed on Earth aeons ago, pining to roam the cosmos once more.
Some say he's a naked mole rat that found sentience and lost sanity.
Some say he's the result of a casserole gone horrendously awry.
Some say he's just a figment of an overly zealous tabloid editor's unscrupulous imagination.
What is known, however, is scant: Orby is an iOS aficionado, with an abiding hatred for top hats and turbo-prop airplanes. The last known sighting occurred seven years ago, approximately thirty-one hundred klicks east-northeast of Niue.
If you encounter the Orby, be warned: although he appears gruff and acataleptic, legend says he's actually quite nice... so long as you aren't hiding any delicious food on your person.

Surface ridge axis from Great Lakes into west Texas keeping winds light, with rather large spreads across the area from breaks in cloud. Ground fog already occurring at LWC where cloud has been absent and have little reason to remove going patchy fog wording with cloud cover diminishing through sunrise. Upper ridge axis slides east form the Northern Rockies into the Northern and Central Plains tonight with low level winds slowly increasing from the southwest. Today brings sunny skies after patchy fog mixes out with west to east temp gradient on track as modest warm air advection develops. 925mb winds in the 20-30kt range tonight keep any repeat fog concerns in check and lows 10-15 degrees above this morning`s levels. .LONG TERM...(Sunday THROUGH Friday) ISSUED AT 322 AM CDT SAT OCT 10 2015 Sunday still shaping up to be quite the warmup, as mid level temperatures rise into the low 20s for much of the area by late afternoon. If the front and leading thermal ridge speed up a few hours, may see temps rise a few more degrees more. At this time have a range of lower 90s in the west to middle to upper 80s east. Dewpoint temperatures are forecast in the 50s, and southerly winds generally forecast below 15 mph with some higher gusts, which would lead to some elevated fire danger but not critical at this time. Anticipate a well mixed environment through the overnight as the front approaches, and have gone warm on overnight lows with middle 50s and may not be warm enough in the far eastern counties. Cooler high pressure continues to spill southeast over the area through the day on Monday. Given dewpoints behind the front in the 30s, and gusty winds as the front passes, anticipate will see very high fire danger on Monday afternoon across the far western counties. Highs should mix into the 70s but fall quickly through the evening as the boundary layer cools. Weak mid level thermal ridging ahead of the next front on Tuesday should bring highs back up into the upper 70s near 80 for Tuesday. Front passes through on Tuesday night and cools highs a few degrees for Wednesday. Forecast for late week differs between models with EC bringing in a much cooler airmass for Friday into Saturday morning. GFS lifts the old upper low out from the southwest which interacts with the zonal flow aloft and keeps a front over our area into the weekend. EC solution seems more realistic and have started to cool on Friday but could need to be cooler if solution pans out. && .AVIATION...(FOR THE 18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z Sunday AFTERNOON) ISSUED AT 1236 PM CDT SAT OCT 10 2015 VFR prevails through period with southerly winds at or above 10 kts this afternoon, expecting to calm aft 00Z.

WASHINGTON, April 12, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- AFSCME is recommending that shareholders of both Pfizer and Johnson & Johnson vote against the executive compensation proposals at the annual meetings of both companies, which take place on April 28, 2011.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20110411/DC81183LOGO)
AFSCME has led the charge to get shareholders of U.S. companies the right to vote on executive pay. Thanks to the Wall Street Reform Act, shareholders now have a voice. "Now shareowners can use Say on Pay at all companies to register their disapproval of CEO pay," said President Gerald W. McEntee, whose 1.6 million members participate in public pension funds with combined assets worth more than $1 trillion. "It's up to investors to use this tool judiciously and send a clear message to boards of directors: pay needs to be tied to performance."
Johnson & Johnson paid Chairman and CEO William Weldon nearly $29 million in spite of eleven recalls of JNJ drugs at a cost of $900 million. The company lost $7 billion in market value last year. JNJ also benchmarks its executive pay above the pay of its peers.
Pfizer's retired CEO Jeffrey Kindler received nearly $25 million, a 60 percent increase over his 2009 compensation. During Kindler's tenure, he received over $72 million in compensation during which time the stock price dropped by more than a third and Pfizer lost approximately $68 billion in market value.
"Pfizer's CEO pay is indefensible," added McEntee. "CEOs should not get massive rewards after shareholder value is destroyed on their watch. This lavish reward for failure is simply madness."

This is Anthony Byrnes Opening the Curtain on LA theater for KCRW. Harold Pinter's The Homecoming, currently being revived by Pacific Resident Theater, is a tough play to do right. Chances are even if you only walked by a drama class in college, you've got a copy of the paperback on your bookshelf staring back at you. Without cracking it in years, you remember - like Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? , Read More
Posted: 06/05/2015 5:40 pm EDT Updated: 06/05/2015 5:59 pm EDT Harold Pinter was an Englishman who wrote powerful, controversial plays....so successfully that he was honored with a Nobel Laureate for Literature in 2005. I had the honor of meeting the dapper, delightful playwright in 1967 when I was production head of an ABC film company, Palomar, and we made a movie in England of his early play, "The Birthday Party." Although Read More
The stars certainly align in Pacific Resident Theatre's production of Pinter's #TheHomecoming The pith of Harold Pinter is in the subtext. Innocuous interchanges – about a pilfered cheese roll, a ticking clock, a piece of fried bread – take on layers of meaning and menace that transcend the infrastructure of text.

For writers and actors of a certain age, the cultural revolution known as the 1960s begins in 1958. That year saw the premiere of The Birthday Party, the play perhaps most responsible for crystalizing its generation's disenchantment with, and distrust of language in the elliptical ambiguities, pregnant pauses, paradoxical contradictions and ironic sense of menace that quickly earned the adjective "Pinteresque." And while Harold Pinter productions have become rarer in recent Read More
"Why don't you shut up, you daft prat?" says Lenny (Jason Downs, resembling young Malcolm McDowell) to his father, Max (Jude Ciccolella), in Guillermo Cienfuegos' top-flight revival of Harold Pinter's 1965 comedy The Homecoming at Pacific Resident Theatre. He doesn't say it in a moment of fury. It's just part of the East London family's nonchalant repartee, spoken while reading a newspaper on a sofa. Dad calls all of his Read More
Pacific Resident Theatre, Marilyn Fox has got hold of the rights to 1965′s The Homecoming and handed the reins to producer Elspeth A. Weingarten and director Guillermo Cienfuegos, and that's the exact right way to keep the name of Pinter on the lips of the people who should be saying "Pinter." Like me. Philosophy professor Teddy (Trent Dawson) brings his wife of six years and mother of his three boys Ruth Read More
Presented at the Pacific Resident Theatre in Venice, California through September, Julius West's translation of Anton Chekhov's "The Cherry Orchard" maintains the true intent of the playwright as a Comedy mixed with Tragedy. The play is performed in traditional set and costume, but the language is one relatable today to the modern man with themes of Money, Love and Freedom. The play centers on the Russian aristocrat Ranevskaya (Artistic Director Marilyn Read More
Los Angeles Theater Review: THE UNFRYABLE MEATNESS OF BEING (Pacific Resident Theatre) by Tom Chaits on August 29, 2014 in Theater-Los Angeles Post image for Los Angeles Theater Review: THE UNFRYABLE MEATNESS OF BEING (Pacific Resident Theatre) MORE MEAT If you are one of the many theatergoers who caught Pacific Resident Theatre's production of Out There on Fried Meat Ridge Road (and possibly the special Christmas follow-up) during its unprecedented 6-month run, then you'll likely Read More
The Unfryable Meatness of Being Reviewed by Paul Birchall Pacific Resident Theatre Through Sept. 7 RECOMMENDED: Playwright Keith Stevenson's delightfully quirky comedy is the third installment in a series of plays -- a triptych of white trash comedies, each an episode involving the down-market residents of a flophouse motel in backwoods West Virginia. And what delights a Los Angeles audience more than laughing at the great, unwashed yokels and inbreeds who are doofy enough Read More
THE UNFRYABLE MEATNESS OF BEING by Keith Stevenson It takes a certain sense of humor to appreciate the wit that propels the dialogue in this unique comedy. If you've ever chuckled over a good redneck joke, it will fit you like a comfy pair of overalls. Personally, I thought it was hilarious! It takes place in the mountains of West Virginia, an area where, I don't think, anyone ever qualified for Read More

Consumers spent more money this holiday season compared to last year, says a report from commerce research firm comScore.
Online shoppers have spent nearly $37 billion between Nov. 1 and Dec. 21, up 16% versus the same time period last year. Last week was particularly strong thanks to a "Free Shipping Day" option offered by retailers. Consumers spent 53% more online last week compared to the same time in 2011.
"We typically do not see such heavy spending this late in the season, but the fact that Free Shipping Day occurred on a Monday, combined with the fact that so many retailers extended their promotions into the middle of the week -- with guaranteed shipping by Christmas -- helped deliver an encouraging late-season surge," says comScore Chairman Gian Fulgoni in a statement.
Cyber Monday, which fell on Nov. 26, saw the heaviest online spending at more than $1.4 billion. Consumers passed the $1 billion spending mark 12 days this season, up from 10 last year.

Jay i would interpet it this way. The stepwedge useage tells you what your materials are capable of with different exposure and development for both film and paper. When dealing with the stepwedges you are not at that time dealing with either zones or SBR. That basic data is used in either application to zone system work or incident system work. The SBR is only referenced to the incident system and does not deal whatsoever with the zone system. Go to your BTZS manual and see if you can find with the zone system the usage of the term SBR. Go to the incident system and I am certain that you will find it being used with regularity.
Of course Claire may have egg colored face if you find such a case.

De Nieuwe Snaar
This four-headed flemish band started as a folkband in the seventies, around the two brothers Jan (accordeon, guitar...) and Kris Desmet (clarinet, saxophone...) (in the middle), called 'De Snaar'. Later on the violinist changed, and the acrobatic Geert Vermeulen joined the group. Since 2004 de nieuwe snaar was completed with a contrabassist, Walter Poppeliers. Their music is mainly written in dutch, sometimes in cooperation with the absurd-scenariowriter Hugo Matthyssen. The shows are a mix of 'serious' songs, cabaret and circus.

Touchstone-specific Exhibition Mode apps (webOS 3.x) 7
This tip is only for HP TouchPads running webOS 3.0 or higher
webOS 2.1 on phones introduced Exhibition mode to replace the standard lock screen when your phone is on the touchstone charger, providing a unique interactive experience for the user while the phone was still charging. This feature was carried over to the TouchPad and webOS 3.0, even though the phone touchstones were not compatible with the TouchPad and required you to purchase a TouchPad-specific touchstone. And if you have multiple TouchPad touchstones, you can even specify which Exhibition app you want to launch for each touchstone.
Once you put the TouchPad on the first touchstone, just select the Exhibition app that you want to run. When you move the TouchPad to a second touchstone you will notice that it loads up the stock clock exhibition app and not the previously selected Exhibition App, requiring you to choose the Exhibition app you want to run on this touchstone. Once you make that selection, you can move back and forth between touchstones and the TouchPad will remember which app was running on the each touchstone charger.

Confused the heck outta me until I figured out that's what was happening.
What a cool feature!
How could you not include the tip about "Luna"? This wonderful app allows you to enter any url you want to run in exhibition mode including siriusxm.com/player/basic/ and pandora.com so that you can stream music in exhibition flawlessly (well, almost; I prefer Apollo for Pandora ;) )One of my favorite features of the touchstone/webOS combo!
Sounds like a good idea for a future tip...I have used WebOnEx (https://developer.palm.com/appredirect/?packageid=com.onghu.webonex&applicationid=10104 ) before but not Luna ( https://developer.palm.com/appredirect/?packageid=com.lazyday.luna&applicationid=9741 ) .. will have to check out Luna
