Samsung Omnia Icon smartphone
A feature-packed Windows Mobile smartphone boasting Samsung's upgraded TouchWIZ user interface
- AMOLED display, 3.5mm headphone jack, TouchWIZ UI improvements, HSDPA, GPS, 5-megapixel camera, 8GB internal memory
- Resistive touch screen rather than capacitive, widgets can become sluggish, interface isn't as slick or polished as HTC's TouchFLO 3D, lag in certain menus
Bottom Line
The Samsung Omnia Icon's TouchWIZ UI isn't as slick or polished as some of the alternatives, but it remains an excellent way to spice up the normally drab and clunky Windows Mobile UI. It's not perfect, but a superb display, excellent features list and an interface that is intuitive for the most part combine to make this one of the best Windows Mobile smartphones on the market.
Price$ 899.00 (AUD)
Hot on the heels of the original Samsung Omnia i900 launched in 2008, Samsung is back with the Samsung Omnia Icon smartphone. Known as the Samsung Omnia II or the Samsung Omnia i8000 internationally, the Omnia Icon smartphone raises the bar with a massive AMOLED touch screen, a five-megapixel camera and juicy upgrades to Samsung's TouchWIZ interface.
Our review unit was an international model (Samsung Omnia II or Samsung Omnia i8000). The Australian model will be almost identical, but we'll update our review with any changes once we get our hands on a local version of the phone.
The Samsung Omnia Icon is certainly stylish. Its gloss black body is sleek and curved, and the brushed design of the large answer and end call keys and mirrored cube button add a touch of class. However, the plastic design won't be a hit with all users. There are lock, back and camera buttons on the right, and volume controls on the left. We prefer the design of the Samsung Omnia Icon to the original Omnia despite the new model being larger. Unfortunately, it is almost impossible to keep the display and case free of fingerprints and smudges.
The large size of the Omnia Icon has allowed Samsung to include a 3.7in AMOLED touch screen. It's a resistive touch screen rather than a capacitive one (meaning you can use a stylus), but it's without doubt the best resistive screen we've used, surpassing the smaller touch screen of the Nokia N97. Strangely, the included stylus can't be housed in the phone itself; it's a separate accessory that can dangle off the smartphone.
According to Samsung, the Omnia Icon's AMOLED (active-matrix organic light emitting diode) display uses less power than regular mobile phone screens but offers increased brightness, better colour and clarity and higher definition. The Omnia Icon's display possesses superb viewing angles, rich colour and excellent brightness; it's one of the most impressive smartphone displays we've seen.
Samsung's TouchWIZ interface is the big selling point of the Omnia Icon, and it's been given a huge overhaul from the first iteration. The original version suffered due to small icons, frustrating text input and an inconsistent UI.
TouchWIZ is essentially a skin that sits on top of the standard Windows Mobile 6.1 interface. The row of widgets on the left edge of the home screen remains, and you simply press and drag icons from the panel to the main area to use a particular program or function. The Samsung Omnia Icon now has three home screen pages that can be swiped through by sliding your finger across the screen, and these are fully customisable. For example, we added clock, calendar and shortcut widgets to the first screen; Google, Facebook, YouTube and music widgets to the second; and profile and connectivity settings to the third.
The system isn't perfect: when multiple widgets are added, the screen becomes sluggish to scroll through and the widgets aren't labelled in the sidebar, so it's hard to distinguish what many of them do. Additionally, the Facebook and YouTube widgets are merely links to the Web page of each service rather than dedicated apps. On the whole, though, the widget system is a good replacement for the regular Windows Mobile home screen.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Anthony Grifoni
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
Steph Mundell
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
Andrew Mitsi
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
Simon Harriott
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

When it comes to timing stock-market reversals, there is generally no stone investors will leave unturned. And, given all the celestial activity that has been occurring lately (think of the meteoric explosion over Russia) it can't hurt to take a look at one of the quirkier market timing correlations—sunspot activity.
The attention of those who question the validity of the model should be directed to a recent note in Universal Economics, a regular missive published by money manager Paul Macrae Montgomery. According to Montgomery, there is "a huge volume of research which confirms that solar activity, as measured by sunspot frequency, is significantly correlated with various forms of human activity," he told Barron's. Among them: marriage rates, women's fashions, and, yes, market prices of common stocks.
Caution: Solar activity has typically been correlated with all forms of human behavior—including buying stocks. Wlliam Waitzman for Barron's
Indeed, "few conventional stock-market models have outperformed sunspots over the last two decades," writes Montgomery, who also invented the magazine cover index, which holds that bold declarations of economic or market trends on magazine covers are the perfect contrary indicators.
Typically, the greater the solar activity, as measured by sunspots, the better it is for market prices. Indeed, using the sunspot activity and other, more traditional data, Montgomery was able to avoid big market downturns in 2000 and 2002, and started buying right after the 2009 bottom.
So what is the sun saying now? The scientific consensus is that sunspots should top between May and September. But Montgomery won't exit the market unless other data confirm the sunspot moves.

From the New York Times bestselling author of The Last Wife of Henry VIII comes a novel about the bitter rivalry between Queen Elizabeth I and her fascinating cousin, Lettice Knollys, for the love of one extraordinary man.

From the New York Times bestselling author of The Last Wife of Henry VIII comes a novel about the bitter rivalry between Queen Elizabeth I and her fascinating cousin, Lettice Knollys, for the love of one extraordinary man.
Powerful and dramatic, this is the story of the only woman to ever stand up to the Virgin Queenher own cousin, Lettice Knollys. Far more attractive than the queen, Lettice soon won the attention of the handsome and ambitious Robert Dudley, a man so enamored of the queen and determined to share her throne that it was rumored he had murdered his own wife in order to become her royal consort. The enigmatic Elizabeth allowed Dudley into her heart, and relied on his devoted service, but shied away from the personal and political risks of marriage.
When Elizabeth discovered that he had married her cousin Lettice in secret, Lettice would pay a terrible price, fighting to keep her husband's love and ultimately losing her beloved son to the queen's headsman. This is the unforgettable story of two women related by blood, yet destined to clash over one of Tudor England's most charismatic men.
Editorial Reviews
The Virgin Queen has competition for the affections of dashing Robert Dudley in the form of her cousin, lovely Lettie Knollys.
Erickson (The Memoirs of Mary Queen of Scots, 2009, etc.) charts the 16th-century Knollys siblings' affairs of the heart. While Cecelia makes a loveless marriage of convenience and Frank regrets an opportunity for love missed, fair Lettie ends up with the man she desires, Elizabeth I's reputed lover Dudley, later Lord Leicester. Because the Knollys are descended from Henry VIII's lover Mary Boleyn and Lettie's father is a royal councilor, the sisters serve at court, where Lettie encounters Dudley, whom she finds far more attractive than the husband selected for her. Although Lettie marries dutifully and bears four children, she later takes Dudley as her lover and, when widowed, marries him, incurring the queen's lasting displeasure. Yet Robert remains loyal to Elizabeth and fights for her against the Spanish. Meanwhile, Frank rediscovers his old love and Lettie is charmed by a younger man whom she marries when Robert dies. Finally she is permitted to return to court, where her son's fatal ambitions to the throne revive the enmity between the queen and her rival.
Uncomplicated characters joust predictably for love and power in a capable but unexceptional historical.
"In her sixth historical novel, Erickson again displays her remarkable ability to paint an exquisitely realistic portrait of Tudor England. . . . This is much more than a historical romance; Erickson's attention to historical detail and the depiction of Elizabeth's struggle to maintain her control over her kingdom make for compelling reading. Fans might also be interested in one or more of Erickson's four Tudor biographies. Historical fiction fans can't get enough of the Tudors; this engaging story is a worthy addition to the genre." Library Journal
"Erickson turns her attention to the dramatic love triangle that changed history. One man, Robert Dudley, held Elizabeth I's heart and Erickson draws on that love to bring the life of Elizabeth's cousin and rival, Lettie Knollys, to readers. Erickson portrays Elizabeth as a jealous woman, Dudley as a rake and Lettie as the innocent, endearing her to readers. Rival to the Queen gives this forgotten woman a place in history." RT Book Reviews (4.5 stars)
"Erickson's knowledge and exacting recreation of how it really was in the 1500's is astonishing and adds much to the story. (It also reminds me that royalty of that period is not to be envied.) Beautiful, intelligent and independent, Lettice leads a life of luxury, but because of the times in which she lived and because of her beauty, her life was always lived on the razor's edge. . . . If you are a fan of Carolly Erickson or historical fiction, this book is for you." Affaire de Coeur
"Erickson writes gracefully." Publishers Weekly
"The romance between Queen Elizabeth and Robert Dudley is a story that has survived the centuries, but what about the woman who married Robert, Lettice Knollys, Elizabeth's own cousin. . . . A new Carolly Erickson novel is a wonderful and decadent treat, eagerly awaited and Rival to the Queen is no exception. . . . Rival to the Queen shows that political sex scandals and intrigue are not a new thing, and that murder, romance, and power don't mix well for a happy ending. Fans of Alison Weir and Philippa Gregory will want all of Carolly Erickson's books on their shelves, these are definitely novels you don't want to miss out on!" Night Owl Reviews
"Rival to the Queen is a richly detailed telling of a woman who falls in love with the man whom Elizabeth loves to dangle and toy with. From beginning to end, the life and times of Lettice Knollys is intricately portrayed, from her service at court, throughout her first marriage to Walter Deveraux, and on to the days when she meets and falls in love with Robert. She could easily have died for marrying a man--the queen's favorite!--without Elizabeth's consent, but instead she is banished from court forever. In part, Rival to the Queen is historical fiction blended with nonfiction, with a sprinkling of romance to boot!" Romance Reviews Today

Read an Excerpt
Rival to the Queen
Chapter 1
Flames crackled and rose into the heavy air as my father's servants piled more bundles of brushwood on the fire. Smoke rose grey-black out of the flickering orange tongues, the heat from the rising fire making my younger brother Frank draw back, fearful that we too might be singed or burned, even as the stench of burning flesh made us put our hands over our noses and recoil from its acrid, noxious reek.
I did not step back, I held my ground even as I heard Jocelyn's agonizing cries. I held my breath and shut my eyes and prayed, please God, make it rain. Please God, put the fire out.
It was a lowering and cold morning. The overcast sky was growing darker by the minute, and I had felt a few drops of rain. I thought, it wouldn't take much rain to douse this fire. Please, let it come now!
A large strong hand clamped onto my shoulder—I could sense its roughness through the sleeve of my gown—and I felt myself pulled backwards.
"Get back, Lettie! Can't you see the fire is spreading? Stand back there, beside your brother!"
"But father," I pleaded, my voice nearly lost amid the roar of the flames and the sharp snapping of twigs and branches, "it's Jocelyn. Our Jocelyn. I am praying that the Lord will send rain and save him!"
I looked up into my father's anguished face and saw at once the ravages of pain on his stern features. His voice was hoarse as he bent down and whispered "I'm praying for him too. Now do as I tell you!"
The fire was growing hotter. I was sweating, my flushed face was burning though the day was cold and once again I felt a spatter of raindrops on one cheek. I moved back to join my brother, who was weeping, sniffling loudly, and took his hand. At first he had tried his best to be manly, to resist the strong tug of emotion that we all felt. But Jocelyn had been his tutor, our tutor. He taught us our letters, and our writing hand, and, later, gave us our lessons in Greek and Latin. I had studied with him for seven years, Frank for nearly six. We loved him.
And now we were being forced to watch him die.
He was being burned for heresy. For professing the Protestant faith, as we did. For refusing to obey Queen Mary's command that all her subjects attend mass and revere the pope and renounce the church of Luther, the church her father Henry VIII and her late brother Edward VI had officially embraced, in sharp opposition to the age-old Roman belief.
Many felt as Jocelyn did, but most hid their convictions, and attended mass despite them. My father, who was always a practical man, did as Queen Mary ordered and told us to do the same.
"What we do outwardly does not matter," he told us. "It's what we believe in our hearts that makes us members of the true faith. The Lord sees what is in our hearts, and protects and favors us."
But Jocelyn, who was very brave, and very learned, a scholar from Magdalen College and a student of the ancient texts of the church, was not satisfied. To pretend allegiance to the pope and the mass was wrong, he said. To disguise the truth. And so he had spoken out against the queen and her Catholic mass, and had been seized and thrown into a dungeon. And now, on this day, he was condemned to die.
I had watched him, looking thin and gaunt, as they made him walk across the damp grass to where the reeds and split branches were being piled knee-deep. In the center of the pile was a three-legged stool, and he had been made to stand up on it. But before he did so he reached down to pick up some of the reeds and kissed them reverently.
"See how he blesses the reeds! See how he embraces his martyrdom!" I heard people in the crowd exclaim. "Surely he will be with the Lord in paradise!" But they kept their voices low, for they did not want to be put in prison or forced to submit to punishment, and we were all aware that there were guards and soldiers everywhere, listening for blasphemous words against the church of Rome.
Then the torch had been put to the twigs and branches, and the fire had blazed up, and Jocelyn, praying loudly for the queen who had condemned him and for my father and the servants who had built the fire, had at last been overcome by pain and began screaming.
I heard my father, in anguish, call out to Jocelyn, asking his forgiveness. But the only response was a loud wail of agony, and hearing it, I saw my proud, stern father shed tears.
Young as I was, only sixteen on the day Jocelyn was condemned to die, I realized that my father was being punished alongside our tutor. Queen Mary was making him suffer. She knew well that he had been a faithful servant of the crown ever since he was a very young man, serving in King Henry's privy chamber and, after the old king's death, serving King Edward as an envoy and councilor. He was unwaveringly faithful to the monarchy—but he did not, in his heart, profess the old religion, and she resented him for this. She was vengeful, everyone said so. Now she was taking vengeance against my father by forcing him to carry out the sentence of death against the young man she knew he was fond of, Jocelyn Palmer.
All of a sudden a strong wind blew up, I felt it lift my skirts and draw its raw breath against my neck. I let go of Frank's hand for a moment as he pulled away from me, escaping the glowing sparks that blew toward us.
The wind was putting the fire out. I dared to look at Jocelyn. His hair was burnt away as was most of his clothing, and the skin of his face was scorched and blackened, but his lips were moving.
He was singing, a hymn tune. His voice was scratchy but I recognized the tune. Others joined in the singing as the fire died to embers.
"Dear Jesus, Son of David, have mercy upon me," Jocelyn cried out. "Let it end!"
Soldiers approached my father and spoke to him, standing so near to him that I could not hear what they were saying. I looked up at the darkening sky. Surely it would rain soon, a hard rain. The sign of God's mercy.
Then my father was giving orders and fresh loads of brushwood and branches were being brought and the fire rekindled. But not before a burly guard had reached up to strap two swollen sheep's bladders around Jocelyn's waist.
"No," I cried to my father. "Spare him! Let him live!"
Once again my father grasped my arm, bending down so that he could speak to me, and to me alone.
"I must do as the queen commands. Otherwise we all face Jocelyn's peril. But there is one last mercy I can show him. The bladders are filled with gunpowder. When the fire reaches them, they will explode, and he will die. He will be spared much agony."
Torches were put to the wood and the fire began to blaze up, though I could feel drops of rain falling now, the rain I had prayed for, and smoke rose with the fire, black, choking smoke that was blown into our faces, and with it, the stink of Jocelyn's flesh. I thought then, I cannot bear this.
I felt my gorge rise. I doubled over. My legs felt heavy, and it was hard to breathe. Minutes passed. All around me I could hear people weeping and sighing and coughing from the thickening smoke. I glanced at Frank. He had closed his eyes and bowed his head. His fists were clenched at his sides.
With a bright flash and a loud crack the bladders of gunpowder exploded, but there was to be no mercy for Jocelyn. The blasts went outward, tearing away part of one of his arms but leaving his blackened torso intact.
How I found the courage to look at Jocelyn then, in his last extremity, I will never understand. His legs were burnt, blood seeped from the fingers of one arm and his eyes were charred sockets. Yet his swollen tongue moved within what was left of his gums, and I knew that he prayed.
"Lord Jesus," I heard my father say in a broken voice, "receive his spirit!"
Then with another loud crack the skies opened and rain began to pour down in thick sheets, flooding the grass and quenching the fire and turning the ground to thick squelching mud underfoot.
It was the rain I had prayed for, but it came too late. What was left of Jocelyn's body hung limp and lifeless, the flesh of his face—a face I had loved—so burned away that I could not have said whose face it was.
I felt Frank reach for my hand and we clung to each other, standing there in the drenching rain, until the crowd scattered and my father gave the order to wrap the body in a burial cloth and take it away.

Bloody Queen Mary orders Francis Knolly to kill the family tutor. Having no choice, he does his duty to the horror of his loved ones especially sixteen years old Lettie. However, Francis also understands in spite of his loyalty the Queen and her late father, he and family are condemned because they are related to Mary's imprisoned half sister Princess Elizabeth. Several years later, Elizabeth is now the queen and Lettie returns to court to serve her cousin. There she meets the queen's consort Sir Robert Dudley. She falls in love with him and he persuades her to secretly marry him though he would have preferred to be Elizabeth's husband; not out of love but to obtain more power. She is his second wife with rumors that Lady Any either was murdered or killed herself. She bears him a son who is royally executed and he also has an offspring out of wedlock with another lady of the court. Each of Dudley's women feels the wrath of the queen. The latest Carolly Erickson Tudor historical fiction (see the First Elizabeth and The Memoirs of Mary Queen of Scots) is an engaging tale that focuses on a rival for the affection of Dudley. Lettie is a courageous individual who knows she risks her life for love; while ironically her beloved comes across as a selfish hedonist. However, it is the portrait of Elizabeth that is difficult to accept as she is treated as a jealous angry beast with no redeeming virtues. Told by Lettie, sub-genre readers will enjoy her tale as The Rival to the Queen for Dudley's affection. Harriet Klausner
No review.
I thought this story was told from a great perspective, about a player in Elizabeth's court you hardly ever hear anything about. I'm an avid reader of anything Tudor. While my true love is everything Anne Boleyn, I have never had much love for historical fiction about Elizabeth. Everyone knows her only love was for Robert Dudley, and how many times can you hear that not-so-grand-a-story before you know everything? This book gave me an entirely new perspective! While I knew him and Elizabeth were suspected of killing his first wife, the way this story is told gives an entirely new twist to the life and loves of Robert Dudley. I had barely heard of Lettice Knowley before this. The story is shown through Lettice's perspective. She is Elizabeth's cousin and therefore is given a place in her court only to be exiled for loving and marrying Robert Dudley without Elizabeth's permission. While both are exiled at first, Lettice is banished forever, while Robert is taken back by the Elizabeth, only to leave Lettice behind. The story makes you love, hate and pity Elizabeth for loving Robert. Beautifully written and engaging, I could not put this done until I finished. Thoroughly enjoyed it!
A great book by Carolly Erickson. This is the first book I have ever read written by her. I was impressed. She takes the Tudor court with King Henry VIII and makes it come alive. I love this time period and Ms. Erickson does it much justice!
Very interesting look into the court of Elizabeth I. If you love this time period you will enjoy this book.

Meet the Prospect: Washington DE/LB Hau'oli Kikaha
As prepares for his final collegiate season, Kikaha talks about his return from two ACL surgeries, moving positions as a senior and the areas he still needs to improve before he is ready for the NFL
Throughout the season, the "Meet the Prospect" series will highlight an underrated senior NFL prospect with a scouting report, interview and glimpse at what NFL scouts think of the player.
DE Hau'oli Kikaha, Washington (6-3 | 246 | 4.82 | #8)
The Scouting Report
Hau'oli Kikaha (ha-OH-lee KEY-kah-HA) saw action as a true freshman (seven starts), but missed almost all of the next two seasons (2011-12) due to two ACL tears, both to his left knee. He returned healthy in 2013 as a junior and finished among the Pac-12 leaders in sacks (13), also leading the Huskies in tackles for loss (15.5) and forced fumbles (3).
Kikaha played mostly "4i" technique last season, lining up on both the left and right sides and in two and three point stances. He has solid build and muscle tone, holding the point of attack well and rarely giving up ground. Kikaha has active hands with a strong punch to fight through blockers' jabs. He isn't overly explosive, but displays flexible body control, coordinated feet and fluid change of direction skills to flatten and make sharp 90-degree turns.
Kikaha attacks gaps with an aggressive demeanor, showing the ability to locate and track to work off contact and pursue quickly with improved ball awareness. He needs to be a more consistent finisher and tends to get lazy with his tackling technique, but arrives with violent intentions and looks to tune up his targets. Kikaha has a fiery motor and has the top-notch work ethic on and off the field to continue his development at the NFL level.
What NFL Scouts are saying
"The medicals will be imperative for his full evaluation, but with a healthy 2014, that will be two full years removed from the ACL injuries so that's a good sign. He has a good understanding of how to get to the quarterback and is one of the better college pass rushers on the west coast." – NFC North scout
The Interview
Q: You have torn the ACL in your left knee twice, basically missing the 2011 and 2012 seasons. But you returned healthy last year and led the team in sacks. Talk about the hurdles both physically and mentally for you to rebound from those setbacks?
A: Anytime you get an injury, it changes your role on the team. That is something that impacted me for a while. I was sidelined, taken away, which changed my leadership role. It was difficult, but allowed me to strengthen things in the weight room, get a better bench. Not being on the field was tough. I had great teammates beside me. The rehab was nine months for each tear. Two seasons in a row was heartbreaking. But I have the best surgeon in the country (Dr. Edward Khalfayan); he walked me through every step and made sure my rehab was on point, checking in and helping me get back up to speed and feeling 100-percent.
There was a lot of mental growth, the injuries taught me to be patient. I got to play as a freshman so I thought I would get in and get out and be on my way, but the injuries taught me to invest more in the program, allowed me to get coached up in the film room.
Q: Do you worry about injuring your knee a third time? Is it something in the back of your mind?
A: No, I really am extremely confident in my surgeon and the technique that he used was different than the initial surgery, one that is proven to be more successful. I don't want to brag about work ethic, but I wasn't holding anything back. With the great trainers we have, I was working out every day. Definitely went non-stop.
Q: Has the NFL always been a dream of yours?
A: Since I was three years old.
Q: You are moving to the "Buck" linebacker position this season with mostly 3-4 base looks. How is that transition going?
A: It's going pretty smoothly, knocking the rust off a bit. It's been awhile since we played real ball, but changing positions, it's still football. Definitely a little different. I'm enjoying the experience, running plays out of different looks, multiple looks. The 3-4 allows more 1-on-1 opportunities so I can make plays and be freed up. I spent a lot of time at the "4i" position and strong end last year so it's not too far off. But it is a different feel.
Q: What position do you want to play at the next level?
A: I need to get after that quarterback, that's my preferred position.
Q: On last year's game film, you would often rush from a stand up position, but focused on attacking the pocket. This year you will be standing up again, but the role changes. Have you ever played linebacker? Or lined up in space with coverage responsibilities?
A: Last year, I wasn't a primary pass rusher, more of a two-gapper and run stopper. So I'll probably get more opportunities to rush the passer this season, I'll be on the edge more, dropping won't really take away from my pass rush opportunities. And when I drop, I can showcase what I can do. I have to learn from my coaches and step up to the challenge, making plays in the open field.
Q: What do you feel is your best strength on the football field?
A: My pass rush ability and getting to the quarterback. But a lot of it is a mind game and I have the mental aspect of the game. I can figure out where offensive players are going before they go. I love winning that mental aspect.
Q: What area do you need to improve the most as a senior?
A: I'd like to finish and close in on quarterbacks a little better. Quite a few got away last year. I'd like to be able to finish better and capitalize on my opportunities.
Q: Who is the toughest player you have matched up against?
A: My former teammate Senio Kelemete (5th round, 2012 NFL Draft) was awesome. He went to the NFL and played for the Saints and Cardinals. Tough as nails. The whole Stanford offensive line was tough. Most recently UCLA's Xavier Su'a-Filo (2nd round, 2014 NFL Draft) had a great punch, good battles off and on with him.
Q: You mentioned the Stanford's offensive line, how do you feel you did against left tackle Andrus Peat?
A: He's a good player. But I was primarily on the tight end for the majority of the game. The few times I went against him, he was stout, long levered, good battles as well. From what I've seen, he's a great player.
Q: Studying your game tape, you clearly play with violent intentions, quick hands, an active punch, and athleticism to eat up grass in a hurry. You remind me some of Browns' pass rusher Jabaal Sheard. Is there a player in the NFL you pattern your game after or compare yourself to?
A: I don't think I'm able to compare myself to others, but I like to watch the best and emulate them. I try to be like them. Like Clay Matthews, Terrell Suggs, Jared Allen. Aldon Smith. Just watching the best recently and trying to copy some of their moves and techniques. I like Clay Matthews a lot, his flexibility and the way he uses his hands violently. Jared Allen a close second.
Q: With Coach Sarkisian now at USC and Coach Chris Peterson now running the Huskies program, how is the coaching transition going?
A: It's going really well. Coach Peterson is a great coach as you can see with his history and the games he's won and students he produces, the men they are. He talks about the players he coached and what they are accomplishing not only as football players, but also men in the community. He focuses not just on the football player, but the man we will become before we leave. Everyone loves a football coach that wins games.
Q: You were the Hawai'i defensive player of the year your senior season in high school. What led you to Washington?
A: Washington was a school that recruited me early and I was happy for that. It's in the Pac-12 and on the rise. A lot of the coaches were from USC who were recently National Title contenders. This is a program that will be on the rise, will be a great one in the next few years and I wanted to be a part of the process. It was exciting to be in Seattle.
Q: Washington's season opener this season is in your home state of Hawai'i. Is this the first time a lot of your friends and family from home will get to see you play since high school?
A: Probably only four or five of my family and friends have had a chance to see me at Washington so now the entire family gets to come over and support me. A ton of friends and family, everybody from the island.
Q: Last season, you finished just 1.5 sacks shy of the single season Washington record. Is that something that is a goal for you as a senior?
A: I'm not really allowed to say numbers, but in my head, I just want to maximize each opportunity. We missed more than 1.5 sacks last year so finishing more will get me to that mark.
Q: You are on a defense with several impressive NFL prospects, can you give me a quick scouting report on DT Danny Shelton?
A: He is aggressive and huge. Powerful and becoming a very good pass rusher from the nose guard. Most at the position are powerhouses, but he can really move. He's athletic enough to flip his hips and rotate his shoulder and be powerful and low at the same time. He runs to the ball too with a very high motor. He keeps going on film, even when the play is 20 yards away from him.
Q: Same question with LB Shaq Thompson?
A: Really fast and plays amazing in space. He's a really great tackler, finds the ball quickly. And once he finds it, he's there in a second and a half.
Q: What about CB Marcus Peters?
A: Extremely fast, high football I.Q. He reads routes before they happen and you see that on film. He's faced some of the best receivers in the country and gave them a run for their money. A lot of man coverage.
Q: If I were to ask your position coach about you, how do you think he would describe you?
A: Hopefully hard working and helpful, that's all I can hope for. I want to leave something with these guys and help them get better. Hopefully they see that I want to win and will work hard to get there.
Q: Fast forward five years from now, where do you see yourself?
A: Hopefully I'm on a NFL team, grinding it out and working hard, making plays.

(BURBANK, CA) -- Blond bombshell Kayden Kross is scheduled to host yet another amazing evening of Porn Star Karaoke this Tuesday night at Sardo's bar and Grill in Burbank, CA. The Adam & Eve contract star is excited to once again have the honor.
Sardo's beautiful karaoke host Lizzy will be blowing the crowd away with her sexy talents and Tony Batman's A! Entertainment Crew will also be in attendance to cover this event that is sure to be another in a long line of great Tuesdays at Sardo's Grill and Lounge.
''It's always so much fun,'' said Kayden. ''The place gets packed pretty early so my advice is not to wait too long.''
Whether making movies or making headlines Kayden is a true media darling. The busty blond exploded into the spotlight shortly after signing with acclaimed adult company Adam & Eve. Since then she has been named a Penthouse Pet, and has graced the covers of Club, High Society, Genesis and countless other publications.
In addition to starring in some of the biggest projects of the year for Adam & Eve, Kayden continues to mesmerize fans with feature dance appearances across America and live weekly sex shows on her official website, ClubKayden.com.
This month the stunning starlet takes the cover of Strip Las Vegas. ''I didn't know until just the other day that they gave me the cover,'' Kayden confessed. ''It's amazing. I love it!''
She also recently sat with the notorious Bad Ass Frank for a candid interview that he later logged onto YouTube.
''It really was a great interview,'' offers Rising Star PR Founder Devan Cypher. ''She has such a natural way of handling even the toughest questions and her smile is nothing short of disarming. Frank didn't stand a chance but he held his own well.''
In addition Adam & Eve released two new titles starring Kayden this month, ''Kayden's Frisky Business'' and ''Headmaster 3.''
''She's continues to be one of the smartest and most active girls working in the industry today,'' Rising Star publicist Acme Andersson said.
Porn Star Karaoke takes place every Tuesday from 9 p.m. To 2 a.m and is open to the public as well as to members of the adult industry. The reserved section for the industry is held until 10:30p.m
Sardo's Bar is located at 259 N. Pass Ave. In Burbank, Calif., just off the 134 freeway. PSK starts at 9 p.m. More information is available at SardosBar.com.

text: FYI, here is a link to recent post on Gerald Gurian's website featuring a lengthy excerpt from "These Are The Voyages - TOS: Season Two" on the filming of the episode "Metamorphosis": http://www.startrekpropauthority.com/2014/02/worldwide-exclusive-excerpt-from-marc.html . Gurian precedes the excerpt with a book review which is, to be expected, very favorably disposed towards the book; though I've seen another review (by Wesley Britton of SeattlePI.com) that echoes Gurian's positive sentiments for this second volume. In the "Metamorphosis" excerpt, I think it's interesting how Shatner was unfriendly at first with guest star Elinor Donahue and had to be scolded by Director Senensky over his conduct. I don't recall hearing of any other incident where Shatner was described as displaying open unfriendliness or disrespect towards a fellow actor/actress while filming TOS.

As Water Mission's standard water treatment solution is suitable for populations of 2,000-3,000 people, Water Mission Peru welcomed discussion with CAWST on solutions that serve smaller communities, such as those with a couple dozen families.

Rising junior RB Bryce Love of Wake Forest, NC picked up an offer from USC this weekend while attending the Black Magic camp. Love is the son of former USC track and football athlete, Chris Love. "It was pretty exciting, of course, since both my parents went (to USC)," he said. "We were at lunch and coach (Steve) Spurrier, Jr. just kind of told me they were offering." USC interests Love beyond the connection with his parents. "It's a good program and their coaches are really cool....really laid back," said Love. "I really like those guys. They showed us the academic center and told us what they're doing to upgrade facilities. I like USC...but I like all of the schools recruiting me too." Love has compiled a list of early offers to include Clemson, Tennessee, North Carolina, Stanford, NC State, Duke, Arkansas, East Carolina and Virginia Tech. He plans to attend several games this fall, including games at Clemson and USC, and he does not have any favorites.Tweet

"The driver has detected that device \Device\Ide\IdePort0 has old or out-of-date firmware. Reduced performance may result."
I think the solution would be to do a BIOS update, which isn't that hard..so I might do that when I get some free time but I'd like some ideas on it please.
Any ideas?

The GCP is a community theater. If you would like to try your hand at acting, we would love for you to audition. We welcome actors of all experience levels. Generally, to audition for a regular play, you will be asked to do a "cold reading" which is a small reading directly from the play script.
Occasionally, some directors will ask that you come with a prepared monologue. Check here or in the Scene Magazine in the Thursday edition of Gainesville Sun for the audition announcement.
For musicals, in addition to the cold readings come to the audition prepared to sing 16 measures of a song of your choosing. Please bring sheet music for your song selection. A piano player will be available to accompany you. For musicals there may also be a simple dance audition. Because the nature of community theater we realize that actors come with a wide range of dance ability from two left feet to experienced professionals. GCP choreographers are experts at making everyone look like naturals dancing on stage.
At the GCP we see dozens of new faces at every audition. Some actors come to audition for specific rolls they have been dying to play all their lives. Some actors are happy just to be cast in any part of a show. We welcome all! Often newcomers are offered smaller roles and chorus parts giving them and us the opportunity to "get to know each other."
Fiddler on the Roof
A Musical
Fiddler on the Roof is a musical with music by Jerry Bock, lyrics by Sheldon Harnick, and book by Joseph Stein. It is set in the village of Anatevka in 1905, where Milkman Tevye lives with his wife and five daughters. It is based on Tevye and his Daughters (or Tevye the Dairyman) and other tales by Sholem Aleichem.
This classic of musical theater features songs everyone knows from the title Fiddler on the Roof, to Matchmaker, Matchmaker and the rousing To Life, L'Chaim.
Fiddler's original Broadway production in 1964 was nominated for ten Tony Awards, winning nine, including Best Musical, score, and book. In 1972, the show won a special Tony on becoming the longest-running musical in Broadway history.

Urban Programming
According to the United Nations, 2007 marked the first time when more people lived in urban than rural areas, with 50 percent of the global population (3.3 billion citizens) living in cities. It is projected that, by 2050, the world population will increase by 2.5 billion (to 9.1 billion), while urban populations will swell by 3.1 billion, (to 6.4 billion). This means that urban areas would likely absorb all expected population growth over the next four decades.
Rural-to-urban migration patterns compound these urban population pressures and indicate a 0.6 billion decrease in global rural populations by 2050. Cities — especially smaller size cities — and urban communities of the less-developed regions will experience the majority of urban population growth.
An increase in urban poverty rates accompanies this urban population growth. The share of the population living with less than one dollar a day decreased in rural areas, but increased in urban areas between 1993-2002. As trends in population growth and economic hardship converge in urban areas, this ever-increasing share of the global population confronts increasingly challenging conditions: worldwide, one in three urban dwellers lives in a slum and urban slum growth is outpacing urban population growth in developing regions.
The design and application of Mercy Corps programming provide an effective means to address complex and transitional urban environments. With an inter-sectoral and territorial approach to addressing urban poverty, Mercy Corps programs focus on the crosscutting themes of Quality of Life, Governance and Capacity Building.

Self-reliance and sustainability in the 21st century.
By Heidi Hunt
farm animals, barns
Farm animals – chickens, turkeys, goats, cows – all need shelter for both summer and winter weather conditions. They need shade in the summer, and a place to be protected from wind, rain and severe cold. Animal feed, bedding and other livestock necessities also need adequate housing.
Do you prefer to have a dedicated space for each animal type with a separate structure for feed, etc., or do you prefer large structures, such as barns, which can serve a variety of purposes? Or, maybe, you have just built shelters as you acquire the poultry and farm animals!

An atheist would bet their life against the existence of a (specificaly defined) god, in the same way they bet their life every time they walk out the front door in sunny San Diego that they will not be attacked by a polar bear while being struck by lightening, shot in the head, and dissemboweled by a misplaced samurai who'd been frozen in a freak boating accident and recently thawed and released by a secret group of deranged cryogenesists. _Prove_ to me that this absolutely can't happen when I walk out the door today. In fact, it's considerably more likely than most definitions of god. – Brandyn
