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.

Vietnam Race will provide first supermaxi head-to-head in Asian waters
by RHKYC Media on 5 Oct 2013
VinaCapital Vietnam Race 2011 -launched! AUDI ultra gets under way. Now racing as Chivas, and entered for this year's Vietnam Race © RHKYC/Guy Nowell
A late entry from supermaxi Chivas has pushed the entry list in the Audi Hong Kong to Vietnam Race to a record 17 boats hailing from all over the world. It has also set up one of the juiciest offshore contests for armchair enthusiasts in the 17 years since the inaugural race in 1996, with a 'Clash of the Titans' shaping up between Syd Fisher's Ragamuffin 90, line honours winner of the 2012 Rolex China Sea Race (as Genuine Risk) and Ludde Ingval's Simonis-Voogd 90, line honours winner (as Audi Ultra) of the 2011 edition of this 656nm race from Hong Kong to Nha Trang, Vietnam.
In other words, a 90 footer which has excelled in tricky conditions with a highly tactical finish in Subic Bay is taking on a 90 footer which has raced this route before and has proved she has the downwind speed to break the record, having finished only an hour outside Skandia's 42h 45m 41s, set in 2004.
It will be the first supermaxi head-to-head in Asian waters, set up by east coast (Ragamuffin 90) and west coast (Chivas) Australian-based boats. As Ingvall says, 'We loved the race last time. It is a great event, well-organised and run. The downwind sailing to Vietnam is exhilarating and fast. The reception in Nha Thrang is warm. What's not to like?!'
In her former life as Nicorette III, Chivas also won line honours in the 2004 Rolex Sydney to Hobart Race – quite some pedigree, however the Ragamuffin 90 team is fresh in town from west coast USA, where they claimed line honours victory in the renowned Transpac Race on Fisher's Elliott 100, Ragamuffin. Both boats boast several noteworthy crew, with extensive experience of ocean racing.
In addition to fans being able to follow the boats via the twice-hourly Yellowbrick Tracker updates, RHKYC has partnered with the virtual navigation outfit, Sailonline.org who will use the real time Yellowbrick data from the 17 boat fleet to create a virtual race where enthusiasts worldwide can set up their own boat and see how their race tactics compare. One thing is certain, it will be a lot drier - and a lot less expensive on spinnaker repairs - to race to Vietnam from the living rooms!
Yellowbrick Tracking of the Audi Hong Kong to Vietnam race will be shown at www.rhkyc.org.hk/hkvyellowbrick.aspx

America's Cup - Glenn Ashby on Emirates Team NZ's road to Bermuda
Part 2 of the interview with Emirates Team NZ skipper Glenn Ashby.
In this part of the interview we look at what is going to happen once Emirates Team NZ get their 'AC49.5' sailing in Auckland, and how the campaign may shape up before they leave for Bermuda. Ashby wouldn't be drawn on whether Team New Zealand had started their AC50 build, with July being the usual start of what is usually a five-month build and commissioning period for an end of December launch.

Just under 11 months out from the 35th America's Cup, Team New Zealand does not seem to be in its customary place at the front of the starting grid to be the first to launch their Challenger, or are they? Although they will be one of the last of the six teams to launch an AC45 Surrogate, Emirates Team New Zealand may have stolen a march with a boat that is as close as you can get to an AC50.

The bloated Protocol, which now runs to 83 pages of legalese, is restrictive on the size of boat that can be built as a test platform but doesn't restrict the number that can be built.

Vin Diesel's 'xXx: Return of Xander Cage' trailer is as action-packed as expected
The film marks Bollywood actress Deepika Padukone's Hollywood debut as Serena Unger.
The film marks Bollywood actress Deepika Padukone's Hollywood debut as Serena Unger.
McCarthy and director Paul Feig both set personal box office records.
Companies are announcing holidays, special movie screenings and even theme parties for 'Kabali'.
The plant is out of the pot.
Who can resist that horrifying, makeup-smeared smile?
Aptly titled, "Louis Theroux: My Scientology Movie".
"What's common to all the heroines is their thirst for life, their desire to break through conventions and ability to inspire."
The surprise sequel screened at Comic-Con, but you can watch the trailer here.
Opening a movie like 'Star Trek Beyond' during Comic-Con may not have been the best plan.
The 'X-Men' comics spin-off series airs on FX in early 2017.
The beasts are on the loose and they have no respect for the big city.
Teach me ... to not be an a-hole.
The plant is out of the pot.

Recent reviews
Excellent 4.3 /5 from 119 reviews
The hotel was such an experience. The suite was spacey and well designed. The in-room tub probably suits a couple better than two friends sharing a room, but all in all it was a excellent room.
This was a great/posh hotel in an upscale part of Berlin. This is great for easy access to the west side and only 15 minutes away from Alexanderplatz.
Hotel Q is an "art hotel," and design in some ways seems to have taken precedence over practicality. The big boat in the middle of the room, with the sink attached to the bed was weird, but nonetheless comfortable and well-kept. The sparse decor, again, was weird (naked women embracing on the ceiling in a mural) but tasteful. But what really shines here is the service. The staff was fantastic in every way-- helpful, kind and efficient. Several times, they went out of their way to ask if they could help me with anything. It was a comfort. Breakfast buffet was very nice, fresh and delicious. Bar was very cool in the evening. Spa downstairs is lovely. Overall, quite a good experience.
I loved the styling of the hotel and the front of house staff were friendly and attentive. However for the last couple days of nearly my week long stay I was in and out of the hotel room often. This seemed to baffle the cleaning staff and my room went uncleaned for those days. I'd leave the room for hours at a time and hung the standard "Clean Now" sign on the door but nothing happened. I pointed it out to the staff at reception and they seemed genuinely concerned and said they would look in to it. One day is fine but two days in a room it's starts to look like a systemic problem. That being said, I'd definitely stay there again, just not trips I need to work from the hotel for large chunks of time during the day.
Unique rooms- love the layout and the bed. I think it's priced reasonably at its location.

Innovative Alzheimer's Care Is Topic of Event
By LINDA COMINS
Life Editor
Two area organizations plan to introduce innovative methods to help caregivers, families and clergy communicate and connect with people living with Alzheimer's disease or other forms of dementia.
Faith in Action Caregivers Inc. and the Altenheim Resource and Referral Center in Wheeling will offer a special program, "The Memory Bridge: Creating Meaningful Communication for Those Living with Alzheimer's Disease," next year.
Ann Koegler, coordinator of the resource center, and Jeanette Wojcik, executive director of Faith in Action, said the sessions will be conducted at Wheeling Jesuit University's Troy Theater Sept. 17-19.
The workshop will begin with a two-day presentation by clinical social worker Naomi Feil for family, volunteer and professional caregivers. Participants will learn validation therapy techniques that Feil created over a 17-year period.
The second day of the workshop will conclude with a presentation by Michael Verde, founder and president of Memory Bridge: The Foundation for Alzheimer's and Cultural Memory, who will address "The Spiritual Nature of Dementia Care."
Participants must attend both days of the workshop. The cost will include materials, a continental breakfast, lunch and breaks both days. Continuing education units for nursing and social work will be available for an additional fee. The two-day workshop is open to the public; the registration deadline is Aug. 30.
On Sept. 19, Verde will offer a workshop for clergy only on "Spiritual Issues of Dementia Care." This one-day workshop will help clergy minister to members of their congregations who have some form of dementia and to their caregivers. The cost for this one-day seminar includes materials, a continental breakfast, lunch and breaks.
Feil's breakthrough approach offers a way of reaching the new reality of the person living with Alzheimer's disease, Wojcik said. This method offers the possibility of "enhancing the quality of life of the care receiver and the caregiver," she said.
"It's not really new, but it is different. It's looking more to person-centered care," Koegler said regarding Feil's and Verde's approach. In communicating with people living with Alzheimer's disease and dementia, Feil and Verde are "meeting them as individuals and touching them as individuals," she said.
- ??
Funding for the project has been provided by the Community Foundation for the Ohio Valley and the Wheeling Automobile Club Fund. Additional funding is being sought through other grant requests.
Susie Nelson, executive director of the Community Foundation for the Ohio Valley, said $5,000 has been allocated to the project from the foundation's community impact fund; grants from that fund are awarded "according to changing needs in the community." She observed that caring for people with Alzheimer's "is an emerging need in our community so we felt it was important to provide support."
Mark Phillips, executive assistant in the president's office at WJU, said providing meeting space for a workshop "that speaks to so many people" is part of Wheeling Jesuit's efforts to "reach out to the community around us." He remarked, "We hope that a university like ours can be seen as a real asset to the community."
Phillips said university officials also hope students see that hosting such an event demonstrates the Jesuit commitment to "life, leadership and service with others."
- ??
The program organizers said validation therapy has been widely embraced since it began in 1963. Feil created validation therapy between 1963 and 1980 in response to her dissatisfaction with traditional methods of working with severely disoriented individuals.
Feil has explained that validation is a tested model of practice that helps older disoriented people reduce stress, enhance dignity and improve happiness. Validation accepts the person who returns to the past. The retreat is seen as "survival," not mental illness or disease.
In the standard approach to those living with Alzheimer's disease, Wojcik observed, "We want to shape their daily regimen and their day. We want to make them remember. But that's never going to happen."
However, by using Feil's and Verde's techniques, caregivers, families and clergy can "minister with compassion and care and enhance the dignity of their days," Wojcik said.
With the Memory Bridge approach, "really it's not going back to the way they (the patients) were. We meet them where they are," Koegler said. These methods offer "ways to reconnect and enrich the whole experience" of caring for those with memory loss, she said.
They said the techniques taught by Feil offer an opportunity to improve quality of life for a person with Alzheimer's and his or her caregivers. They explained that the person with Alzheimer's has an opportunity to capture a connection with others that the disease impairs and eventually severs. The caregiver is able to tune into the care receiver's "world."
Wojcik commented, "For us at Faith in Action, the spiritual piece is really important. Caring for the person with Alzheimer's or dementia and their families is important. We're going to help ministers minister to them."
Koegler agreed, saying that the Memory Bridge approach "adds a rich level to the spiritual care for people."
Even for people who have drifted away from organized religion, Wojcik said, "I think, as people, they look for that spiritual connection. I think they all go back for that in their lives. It's something that brings meaning and peace. I think this program is going to help with that."
Wojcik added, "It's very unusual to bring professionals, families and clergy together … We're bringing them together where they can create bonds and move beyond these three days and make a difference in our community."
- ??
Feil, who is now 81, has taught these techniques to more than 80,000 health care workers and family caregivers in the United States, Europe, Asia, Australia, South America and Africa. She has written numerous articles for professional publications and several books. She also has written 11 award-winning film scripts.
As a young social worker, Feil began developing her methods as a result of "her dissatisfaction with the ways people with dementia were being treated," Wojcik said.
Feil's father and mother were an administrator and a social worker, respectively, at a nursing home in the Cleveland area. "They lived in the nursing home," Wojcik said. "She (Feil) has spent her whole life around old people."
Verde is an author and holds a master's degree in theology. Memory Bridge creates programs that connect people with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias to family, friends and other people in their community.
The organization also creates programs that reveal the depths of memory that dementia does not erase.
Verde was instrumental in the development of an interview guide used by the Library of Congress Veterans' History Project. He also developed and implemented an award-winning curriculum and school program called The Memory Bridge Initiative.
He produced a PBS documentary, "There is a Bridge," and launched an art exhibit titled "Mapping Lives: The Art of Listening."

Haha, a mate of mine was watching his son play in a game at which Norman Hunter's grandson was on the opposing team. My mate's son, burly and more used to rugby than football, knocked young Hunter off the pitch. My mate was sitting next to Norman Hunter and expected him to protest. Instead, Hunter just said, "Good tackle!"I wish Leeds had a Norman Hunter type player in the team when dealing with Birmingham's Vigic!

Skip to comments.Detroit Federal Judge OKs Rep. John Conyers For Primary
Posted on 05/23/2014 2:05:33 PM PDT by jazusamo
This post was updated at 4:40 p.m. ET.
A federal judge in Detroit has ruled that Democratic Rep. John Conyers, the second-most-senior member of the U.S. House, will appear on the August primary ballot, overturning a decision by Michigan's secretary of state who said the candidacy was invalid.
Rules are for the little people...
A Federale Judge..
Why do we even need a US Congress, State and local governments anymore? All we need are judges to rule over us!
Yep, I was sure this would happen.
The ruling was probably written before a petition was even submitted.
Same. Forgone conclusion.
I knew the state would take him down but I'm amazed at how quick a federal dictator handed down his decree.
There was never a doubt in my mind that he'd get away with this.you can't awing a dead cat without hitting a liberal judge eager to do the democrats' bidding.
After 50 years of theft and bribery he has a lot of pull,especially in a cesspool like Detroit.
Not surprised.
As I've said hundreds of times over the past five terrible years, I miss the rule of law.
Exactly, that Holder clone of a judge wasted no time at all.
The difference? McCotter was a white Republican.
Lets see ...
1. Invalid petition registrars [not registered voters] ... Check !
2. Qualified for Primary Ballot ? ... Check !
Did he add that the Congressman is also eligible to marry another guy? I thought that was the specialty of federal judges these days.
Anyone really surprised?
They are above the law, and they appoint the judges
The fix is in.
Incompetence enabling incompetence.
Special Rules for Special People. He'll get 80% of the "vote", too.
Judge Matthew Frederick Leitman is barely dry behind the ears, assumed office March 14, 2014.
On July 25, 2013, President Obama nominated Leitman to serve as a United States District Judge of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan.
For Christ sake why even vote anymore!? All we need is Federal Judges and Executive orders.
On July 25, 2013, President Obama nominated Leitman to serve as a United States District Judge of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan, to the seat vacated by Judge Marianne O. Battani, who took senior status on June 10, 2012.[2] On January 16, 2014 his nomination was reported out of committee.[3]
A cloture vote was held on Tuesday, March 11, 2014 on the Leitman nomination; cloture was invoked by a vote of 55-43. On Wednesday, March 12, 2014 the U.S. Senate voted 98-0 for final confirmation.[4] He received his judicial commission on March 14, 2014.[5]
I predict the judge is going to retire to a very, very nice estate in Upper Michigan.
Does this end up splitting the Dem vote?
Does the pubbie have a shot at it?
"Hell get 80% of the vote, too."
He will get 150% of the vote in most counties.
Good one. lol
Like most of his ilk, his district, thank God, is entirely within one county.
We do not have a democracy or republic anymore. Is there even a name for a country run by its out of control judicial system?
Whoa...who saw that coming.
I don't doubt that SOS Ruth Johnson will fight it but it will take months to get a ruling on appeal.
So if he loses the election will that be overturned as well?
Under what authority is this Federalista using to overturn a Secretary of States constitutional authority? If I was the SoS I would insure the rule of law stands and ignores this extra constitutional order.
The judge could have saved even more time and money by simply declaring Conyers to be re-elected.
A Democrat judge appointed by a socialist president give the middle finger to the law and reminds us that Democrats don't have to follow laws they don't like. Remember the guy in the White Hut doesn't like our Constitution and has said so.
Was there any legal justification beyond "I'm a federal judge and I say so?"
Did you really expect anything less? Seems rules are only for the sheeple not for our elite masters! /s
Yes. The word is OLIGARCHY. Rule by a small number of people.
Yes, and the criminal actions of both 0bama and Holder only encourage the activist judges like this one in ignoring the rule of law.
I really do think we have the ability at FR to introduce terms into the national conversation.
There's "peasant law", and then there's Law For Our Betters...
States are empowered to determine the qualifications to get on the ballot for Federal Office as long as those standards do not conflict with any other section of the Constitution.
In fact, for POTUS a State is not even required to hold a general election with universal suffrage. A state can appoint its electors by any criteria they choose...as long as it does not conflict with other sections of the Constitution.
Of course John Conyers is qualified to be on the ballot. And Rahm Emanuel was a resident of Chicago in 2011. And Frank Lautenberg was eligible for to run for governor when Bob Torricelli bailed. And Barry Soetoro was born, well, wherever the heck he wanted to have been born . . .

[Watch] Here's What Happens When Your Side Chick Crashes Your Wedding
It's a scene out of a Tyler Perry movie.
It's the moment we've all been anticipating. One month after the birth of their first child, Blue Ivy, Jay-Z and Beyoncé are letting the world get a glimpse of their precious newborn.
The rapper took to his web site, Life and Times, on Friday and posted several images of the happy family and included the following message:
"We welcome you to share in our joy. Thank you for respecting our privacy during this beautiful time in our lives. - The Carter Family"
Baby Blue was born on January 7 in New York City. Jay-Z, overwhelmed with joy, immediately took to the mic and recorded "Glory" in honor of his daughter. The song, which features the newborn's cries, made Blue the youngest person to ever have a hit song. What else would you expect from Baby Carter?
Check out more pictures of Blue Ivy below.

Weisman, C.S., Marianne M. Hillemeier, G.A. Chase, D.P. Misra, C.H. Chuang, R. Parrott, and A.M. Dyer. 2008. "Women's perceived control of their birth outcomes in the Central Pennsylvania Women's Health Study (CePAWHS): implications for the use of preconception care." Women's Health Issues, 18(1): 17-25.
Purpose This study examines nonpregnant women's beliefs about whether or not they can influence their future birth outcomes with respect to the baby's health and factors associated with internal locus of control for birth outcomes. Perceived internal control of birth outcomes could be a predisposing factor for use of preconception care, which is recommended for all women of childbearing age by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The overall hypothesis is that internal control of birth outcomes is a function of prior pregnancy experiences, current health status and stress levels, access to healthcare, and sociodemographics.
Methods Data are from the Central Pennsylvania Women's Health Study random digit dial telephone survey of 2,002 women ages 18–45; the analytic sample is 614 nonpregnant women with current reproductive capacity who reported that they are considering a future pregnancy. Internal control of birth outcomes is measured using 1) a 4-item Internal Control of Birth Outcomes Scale, 2) a single-item measure of Preconceptional Control, and 3) a score reflecting high internal control on both of these measures.
Findings In multiple logistic regression analyses, internal control of birth outcomes is positively associated with older age (35–45 vs. 18–34 years), higher education (some college or more), marital status (currently married or living with a partner), and higher self-rated physical health status on the SF-12v2 (but not mental health status or psychosocial stress). Previous adverse pregnancy outcomes and current access to healthcare have no association with internal control for birth outcomes.
Conclusion Variables associated with internal control of birth outcomes among women contemplating a future pregnancy are primarily sociodemographic and physical health related. Educational and social marketing efforts to increase women's use of preconception care may be particularly important for women who are likely to have lower internal control, including younger, less educated, unmarried, and less healthy women.

(apologies to Coleridge's Kubla Khan)
In Flushing Queens did the Temple Ganesh
A Dosa lover's dream decree
Where Bowne, the sacred car path runs
past temples uncountable to man
down to the sunlit court
Welcome to the Ganesh Temple Canteen in Flushing, Queens, a 10-15 minute walk (almost one mile) from the last stop on the 7 line, the Flushing-Main Street Station. Walk, bus or drive to:
The Ganesh Temple
45-57 Bowne St
Flushing, NY 11355
The entrance to the Temple Canteen is around the corner from the temple entrance, on Holly Street.
Train Directions: Take the 7 Train to the Flushing-Main Street Station. From the train station you would walk along Main to Kissena, then Sanford to Bowne, and walk a few blocks along Bowne. Or, you could take the Q27 or Q65 bus from the train station. The Q65 bus stop is at the corner of Roosevelt and Main, and the Q27 bus top is half a block up Main from Roosevelt. Once you get on the bus make sure to tell the bus driver you're going to the Ganesh Temple at the corner of Holly and Bowne. It's almost a mile and takes 5 - 10 minutes, depending on the bus you take.
Driving and parking directions can be found here https://nyganeshtemple.org/direction on the temple website.
We'll meet outside the temple canteen on Holly Street from 1-1:15 (see the picture below), look for the person holding up a MEETUP sign. From 1:15 until 2 we'll be downstairs in the canteen, feasting on dosa. If you come late, just go through the doors and down the stairs two levels to the bottom, where you will find a table with a MEETUP sign on it and hoards of smiling people surrounding. After 2, we will depart for a tour of the temple area.
The Ganesh temple has kindly offered us a guided tour of the temple, and we've made arrangements with other neighbouring temples for a tour. This event is scheduled on the day of Deepavali (also known as Diwali), the festival of lights when darkness (ignorance) is removed by light (knowledge). What an excellent day for Dosa lovers of all creeds to gather!
In the temple canteen the chefs prepare daily a repast of South Indian charms. Here you will find a wealthy cornucopia of dosa, 20 or more kinds of the thin crispy lentil flour pancakes South Indian cuisine is famous for. The filling is what makes this dish and you will not want - there is masala, there is mysore, chile, tomato, rava, set, paper, pondicherry, oh my!
However, if your destiny is to reach past the 20 or so incarnations of dosa, perhaps you will find the uttapam, the idli, or the upma to be more on your direction home. The uttapam is a thicker pancake, of lentil and rice, perhaps topped with onions, chilies or tomatoes, while the idli is a steamed rice patty dipped in sambar.
It would be dire to stop here without mentioning the thirst quenching selections for the parched traveller. For those of weary sole, there are offerings of the eternal mango lassi, masala tea and madras coffee. For seekers of a less adventurous fare, there are soft drinks, hot chocolate, and the regular of tea and coffee.
All of the canteens offerings are all equally delicious, although, to be sure, some are more equal than others. The price however, for such a vast cornucopia, is very hard to equal, ranging from $2 to as much as $7!
The tour will begin at 2pm, and will start with the Ganesh Temple, and then move on to other temples.
Ganesh Temple
45-57 Bowne Street, Flushing, NY 11355
Followed by:
Om Sai Mandir
45-11 Smart St, NY 11355
Next stop:
Shirdi Sai Baba Temple
46-16 Robinson St, Flushing, NY 11355
And finally:
Hindu Center
4552 Kissena Blvd, Flushing, NY 11355
So, on November 2, 1pm-4pm set your compass for the Ganesh Temple of Flushing, and enjoy!
AMAZING day! The Temples were lovely. Great tour guides, great learning experience, great people, great weather. Loved it! Thanks to all who organized this wonderful meetup. 5 stars! : )

Wow! What an excellent, excellent Meetup! Our members really loved this Meetup. Everyone was so taken with the temples. And it was wonderful we got to experience this together as a group. Also, the food at the Ganesh Temple was heavenly. And we were all extremely impressed with the extreme graciousness, kindness, hospitality, and erudition, of our brilliant temple guide and host, "GP", at the Ganesh Temple. The guides and hosts at the other temples were also extremely kind and very knowledgeable. Huge thanks to Rob for wonderfully organizing the whole event. Our extreme thanks also to Rob's expert assistants, Minish and Kuldeep, for their huge help in organizing this. This amazing team of three spent a very large amount of time lovingly researching, preparing for, and arranging every detail of this highly complex event. They have the unending thanks of every one of us who delightedly benefitted from their planning and preparation.

I'm planning to bike to the temple (it's more direct than the train from Forest Hills). Will this cause logistical difficulties moving from temple to temple? Or are they close enough that I can just return to where I left it at the end?
Also, does anyone know if there are bike racks around there?

I have been wanting to go here ! Thank you for organizing the trip.

BlackBerry Sales are Declining, But Not in Indonesia!
The sales of BlackBerry continues to decline globally, but not in Indonesia. BlackBerry and Samsung were still the top two best-selling phone brands in Indonesia in the past year, according to the Erajaya Group, the leading distributor of mobile products and services in Indonesia.
Not so long ago, Research in Motion (RIM) announced their loss of more than half of a billion dollars in the second quarter of 2012. As a result, about 5.000 RIM employees must unfortunately lose their jobs. The shipments of BlackBerry are also reported 21% declining compared to Q3 of 2011.
The Erajaya Group is still optimistic that BlackBerry demands in Indonesia will not be affected by this bad news, although many people seem to start questioning the future of RIM. In the first semester of 2012, the Erajaya Group has opened two new BlackBerry Store outlets, and they are even planning to open two more in the coming months! "BlackBerry and Samsung are the two best-selling brands in Indonesia. In terms of sales, BlackBerry wins; but Samsung has higher values than BlackBerry" said Djatmiko Wardoyo, Communication and Marketing Director of Erajaya Group.
In addition, here is an interesting article about "The Survival Guide for Life After RIM" by BloombergBusinessweek to prepare you for the worse case ;)
Three Billion Downloads on Blackberry App World
In another news, Research in Motion announced last week that three billion apps have been downloaded by BlackBerry smartphone and PlayBook users around the world since BlackBerry App World™ was launched. "It took 786 days to reach the one billion mark, 210 days to reach two billion, and only 176 days to reach the three billion number."

Pittsburgh girl, 6, crashes car in bid to see dad
PITTSBURGH (AP) – Pittsburgh police say a determined 6-year-old girl didn't hurt anyone when she crashed her mother's car while trying to drive across town to visit her father.
Police haven't released the name of the girl whose mother was reportedly still sleeping when the girl took the woman's car keys about 9 a.m. Sunday.
Police Sgt. Jerry Parker tells reporters the little girl is tall for her age, but adds: "How she knew how to operate a car, your guess is as good as mine."
Police say the girl hit two parked vehicles, pushing one of them into a third, before hitting a utility pole.
Police and the girl's father arrived to take her home after the accident.
Police are still investigating but haven't said if anyone will face charges.

I don't have the money to stay in posh hotels, and even chains like Holiday Inn are a bit beyond me, so if I need somewhere to stay in an expensive place like London, I need to do detailed research!
I recently visited my daughter, and found a hotel near her, and 5 different prices offered with 5 different agencies! alpharooms was the cheapest, (very reasonable for London), and so I went with them. Website was easy to use, booking very straightforward, and it all went very smoothly.
alpharooms would definitely be my first port of call in future.

I take the murder of President Kennedy very personally. Anyone who has been keeping up with my running battle with Mr. Paul Mays in the comments section of my article "The Great Enemy of the Truth," I am certain has deduced that fact already.
I consider the murder of JFK to be a roadblock in our nation's history; a place from which our nation may not, in a positive sense, go forward from until it is fully, and honestly resolved. We do not need to have the surviving conspirators hanging from lamp posts in Washington, D.C., or reopen Alcatraz for their life sentences; we simply need to know that some degree of justice has been done, and that the truth has willed out.
We know that the Warren Report is not the truth. The commissioners did not know that Lee Harvey Oswald was trained as a CIA operative. http://www.prisonplanet.com/articles/september2004/160904oswaldwascia.htm
Nor did they know that they were not given the original evidence sheet and photo from the "sniper's nest" on the sixth floor of the Texas School Book Depository which showed two spent 6.5 mm shell casings, and one live 6.5 mm cartridge on the floor. http://mcadams.posc.mu.edu/round.htm
This fact proves that the assassin in that position fired only two shots, rather than the three required to fit J. Edgar Hoover's scenario of the assassination, which is what the Commissioners were being fed to come to the "predetermined," power elite solution to the crime.
"Fiat justitia, et ruat caelum!" cried Lucius Calpurnius Piso Caesonius, father-in-law of Julius Caesar more than two thousand years ago. "Let justice be done, though the heavens may fall!" he cried, upon learning of his son-in-law's murder.
So what motivates someone like Mr. Mays to use the most baseless calumnies against me in our little spat? Why is he so personally invested in the myth perpetrated by the Warren Commission? There could be any one of a dozen reasons that Mr. Mays is so vehement in his defense of a group of men, who were steered into making a particular decision without access to all of the information, by other men who had every reason to hide the truth.
In the interests of full disclosure, I have not been paying that close of attention to developments in the JFK assassination story for roughly ten years. I have been working hard on my own mental health, as well as looking at more recent developments in this nation's current self-inflicted auto-da-fe, that began (I believe) with our Thirty-fifth President's murder in Dallas. It was a video I found through Brasscheck TV.com of the Secret Service agents being ordered off the rear of JFK's limousine that rekindled my interest.
Because of this, some of the information that I gave was dated and/or inaccurate. The last minute change of the motorcade route is a perfect example of this, and when I discovered that I was wrong, I corrected myself. The motorcade route was settled on at the last minute (November 18)--in security terms--according to testimony given by Gerald A. Behn, chief of JFK's Secret Service Detail, before the House Select Committee on Assassinations. This still begs the question: If Oswald was the sole assassin, how did he set himself up in such a perfect vantage point a month (October 16) before the assassination? Crystal ball?
Another example of my stale information was that while I was well aware of Oswald's connection to the FBI through Agent James Hosty as a confidential informant, I was not really aware that intrepid investigators of the Assassination Records Review Board had actually forced the CIA to turn over a memo from then CIA Director John McCone to Secret Service Chief James Rowley (dated March 3, 1964) admitting the Oswald was a trained CIA operative. Scott Shane of the New York Times published an article on it October 17, 2009, but Alex Jones has had it up at his Prison Planet website since 2004.

"Card will touch your heart! Perfect Sentiment and the affirmations on the reverse side are reminders to make everyday count! I loved the card and most of the recipients either texted or e-mailed they loved it too! :)"
"I LOVED this card. We received so many compliments on it! The only fault I had with it is my own, I should have sent a better photo! I have been using Tinyprints for years and they NEVER disappoint!"
"After rescuing my 7 year old pit bull mix in September, I knew her sweet face would make for a charming holiday card. Not only that, but I know how much she delights my friends and family, so the search was on for a holiday card that would capture her personality. I got rave reviews from those who received the card! It's simple and cute. The card stock is nice and thick, and allowed me to write a message on the back without it bleeding through to the other side. Customization was easy and I was walked through each step of the process. I can't wait to have another reason to buy cards from TinyPrints.com!"
"I personalized the card with our picture. It came super fast right at my door, it was really a pleasant surprise to see the delivery in just like 2-3 days. Just it time for Christmas. I got plain envelopes with the cards that fit perfectly. However, I didn't pay attention about the size of the card. For some reason I assumed it would be a glossy card that opens. Nonetheless the cards were gorgeous and a bigger size would have ruined the image, so maybe by luck or destiny, these cards came out really nice."
"This design worked perfectly with my image! The design was not so busy that it detracted from the image but enhanced it! Loved the softness of it. I also felt it was a very classy design!"

Let me guess, you bag holders will continue to convince yourself 4's are a great price, so lets keep chasing the falling knife with MORE BUYING lol.
tradingboy, you can not be as stupid as u appear, iq does nor o below zero.
so, what is yr real agenda?
So why lose all the money you made on hgsh to short this stock. I actually thought you had a little bit of intelligence until you sat yourself over here.
Sentiment: Buy
XIN's floor is $5 per share. Management won't allow it to fall below $5 for institutional trading purposes. This will be kept higher than $5 through its announced $60 million share buyback. The way I look at it, you have no more than a 23 percent upside (short at $6.40, cover at $5). However going long your upside is much more, especially with a P/E of only 3 and tremendous growth ahead. I will now put you on "Ignore" so I don't have to see your posts.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
Too funny. Like hiding you're head in the sand will keep the stock from falling further, or keep you from reading postings here that don't agree with you're personal investment in the 6's.
I agree 5 is definitely bottom worst case but I think we will actually bottom at 5.50 maybe a little higher

 Key Information-Problem Solving Skills to Learn in Secondary Education: A Qualitative, Multi-Case Study http://www.ccsenet.org/journal/index.php/jel/article/view/61426
Internet has become one of the most important information sources for students' personal and academic life. In addition, the World Wide Web is receiving increased attention in education because of its potential to support new forms of learning. However, using the information from the net for learning requires the development of a set of abilities such as searching and tackling information from the Internet to find solutions of a problem—this set of abilities is called Information-Problem Solving (IPS) skills. The main objectives of this study are the following three: first, to provide a detailed description about how secondary students solve an IPS task; second, to identify key IPS skills, sub-skills, and regulation activities that have more incidence upon students' success to solve a problem using digital information on the Web; and third, to use this information to draw educative guidelines to design web-based instructional process and foster IPS in secondary classrooms. In-depth analyses of quantitative and qualitative data of a multi-case study allowed us to identify distinctive patterns and sequences of IPS skills used by students to solve a task. Furthermore, IPS skills (defining the problem and search for information), sub-skills (specifying search terms and selecting results from a SERP), and regulation activities (orientation on the task, monitoring, and testing) were identified as key skills which have more incidence in students to solve successfully IPS tasks to learn curricular contents at school.

The aim of the current study was to predict mental health of the mothers of children with intellectual and developmental disabilities from the magnitude of their forgiveness. To fulfill the stated goal 88 mothers of children with intellectual and developmental disabilities by means of accessible sampling procedure, and Besharat mental health (2009) as well as Enright forgiveness inventories standardized by Ghobari Bonab et al. (2003) was given to them. Analysis of data using Pearson's correlation revealed that among mental health (psychological well-being and psychological distress) and all three dimensions of forgiveness a positive relation was found. In other words, individuals who were higher in forgiveness were more satisfied in their mental health. Multivariate regression also revealed that 23% of variations in psychological well-being by affective and cognation, and 20% of variations in psychological distress by cognation and behavioral component can be accounted by dimensions of their forgiveness. Theoretical implication and practical application of the findings have been delineated in the original paper.

MILWAUKEE - The crowd counts down three-two-one and the cannon fires with a boom, launching a man high over the flapping flags of the circus big top.
A blink of the eye later, David Smith Sr. - the Human Cannonball - plummets back to Earth, bouncing on his back into a mesh netting.
Smith, 61, has been wowing crowds for more than 30 years.
"When I go to work, 99 percent of the time they go bananas," said Smith, whose silver performance suit matches his thinning hair. "Everyone is friendly. You see the good side of people all the time."
Smith - who said he broke his own world record with a 201-foot cannonball shot last August - performed with his son, David Jr., over the weekend as part of the Great Circus Parade through downtown Milwaukee. Five of Smith's eight children also are human cannonballs.
According to Smith, one cannon shot is more or less like any other.
"You're in there, and then you're out," said Smith. "There's no 'Here we go."'
