So how do you like the D40?
Amazing story to say the least.... I hope it works out in your favor in the end....
james singer <email@example.com> wrote:
My best camera is a Nikon Coolpix 8800. It didn't come cheap. So when
its autofocus mechanism quit working properly, I took it into a camera
store to have it checked out. The camera store is a local company--14
stores scattered from Portland to Eugene. They sent it to their repair
center and their repair center decided they couldn't fix it and sent
it on to a Nikon tech center.
Here it gets a little fuzzy. Nikon diagnosed the problem and said it
would take $200 to repair; I gave the camera store $200, and they told
Nikon to go ahead. When the camera was fixed, Nikon sent it back to
the store's repair center, which says sent it back to the store. And
then--here's the mind blowing part--someone, claiming to be me [or my
agent, we don't know which yet] show up, claimed the camera, and
walked off with it!
Amazing. Totally amazing! Methinks it must have been an inside job.
How would anyone know that it was there and ready for pick up before I
did? And the Coolpix 8800 is not exactly a common camera, the chance
of one being returned to a customer at any particular store at any
particular time is likely, well, rare in the extreme.
After a few serious discussions with the store manager, during which I
kept my voice low and well-modulated, I proud to say, they are going
to loan me a new Nikon D40 to use while they try to figure out what
happened to my camera.
Actually I'm not too unhappy with how it's unfolding. The D40 is a
skosh higher tech than the Coolpix 8800 and I've always wanted to test
drive one.

HamNation wonders: How badly must one reek to bowl a 37?
posted at 6:10 pm on April 4, 2008 by Allahpundit
History demands an answer. What makes this distinctly a Hammertime production? Not the cheekiness of the conceit. No, it's the layer of 80s popcult Velveeta drizzled on top via her choice of music, which is so familiar I won't even deign to say where it's from.
For the record, I would have gone with "Win in the End" from Teen Wolf, but different strokes etc. Click the image to watch.

Weekly Game Replay: Maxis closure, Amazon Game Studio titles on iOS
Every Sunday, MacNN and Electronista rounds out the week by bundling together some notable stories from the world of gaming. In the same week as GDC's various hardware and software development announcements, EA shuttered the spiritual home of The Sims and SimCity, Amazon reveals it is porting games from its Fire devices to iOS, and Epic Games shows off what could be coming in its openly-developed Unreal Tournament reboot.
Maxis Sim City to add offline mode in next Windows patch
Despite prior protestations to the contrary, Maxis and EA's city construction kit Sim City will see a patch for offline play. In an official blog post today, Maxis announced that the Windows version will have the online-only requirement purged in Update 10 of the embattled title. It it not clear when the same functionality will be extended to the OS X version of the game.
Sim City issues show perilous nature of 'always on' gaming
Electronic Arts and Maxis launched the newest iteration in the venerable Sim City series earlier this week. While initially praised for its accomplishments and integration with other players by previewing media, the game was marred by monumental server and connectivity issues. Since launch, Electronic Arts claims to have brought on 150 percent more server capacity, as well as shutting down some in-game functions to lighten the server load, but the problems persist. Electronic Arts is offering a free title to people who register the game prior to March 18. The issue, and a similar issue with Diablo 3 emphasize a disturbing trend in gaming -- the requirement to log into remote servers like EA's Origin service to play the game, even in single-player.
Dell officially enters smartphones with Mini 3
Dell today formally entered the smartphone race by launching the Mini 3. The full-touchscreen phone depends on a customized version of Android and will have different features based on the region. While most details aren't available, the China Mobile version will be limited to EDGE data but use the government-supported OPhone interface and app store. Other countries should get localized 3G and should also have Wi-Fi as well.

Cirrus creates Lightning-headphone dev kit
Apple supplier Cirrus Logic has introduced a MFi-compliant new development kit for companies interested in using Cirrus' chips to create Lightning-based headphones, which -- regardless of whether rumors about Apple dropping the analog headphone jack in its iPhone this fall -- can offer advantages to music-loving iOS device users. The kit mentions some of the advantages of an all-digital headset or headphone connector, including higher-bitrate support, a more customizable experience, and support for power and data transfer into headphone hardware. Several companies already make Lightning headphones, and Apple has supported the concept since June 2014. http://bit.ly/29giiZj
Apple Store app offers Procreate Pocket
The Apple Store app for iPhone, which periodically rewards users with free app gifts, is now offering the iPhone "Pocket" version of drawing app Procreate for those who have the free Apple Store app until July 28. Users who have redeemed the offer by navigating to the "Stores" tab of the app and swiping past the "iPhone Upgrade Program" banner to the "Procreate" banner have noted that only the limited Pocket (iPhone) version of the app is available free, even if the Apple Store app is installed and the offer redeemed on an iPad. The Pocket version currently sells for $3 on the iOS App Store. [32.4MB]
Porsche adds CarPlay to 2017 Panamera
Porsche has added a fifth model of vehicle to its CarPlay-supported lineup, announcing that the 2017 Panamera -- which will arrive in the US in January -- will include Apple's infotainment technology, and be seen on a giant 12.3-inch touchscreen as part of an all-new Porsche Communication Management system. The luxury sedan starts at $99,900 for the 4S model, and scales up to the Panamera Turbo, which sells for $146,900. Other vehicles that currently support CarPlay include the 2016 911 and the 2017 models of Macan, 718 Boxster, and 718 Cayman. The company did not mention support for Google's corresponding Android Auto in its announcement. http://bit.ly/295ZQ94
Apple employees testing wheelchair features
New features included in the forthcoming watchOS 3 are being tested by Apple retail store employees, including a new activity-tracking feature that has been designed with wheelchair users in mind. The move is slightly unusual in that, while retail employees have previously been used to test pre-release versions of OS X and iOS, this marks the first time they've been included in the otherwise developer-only watchOS betas. The company is said to have gone to great lengths to modify the activity tracker for wheelchair users, including changing the "time to stand" notification to "time to roll" and including two wheelchair-centric workout apps. http://bit.ly/2955JDa
SanDisk reveals two 256GB microSDXC cards
SanDisk has introduced two 256GB microSDXC cards. Arriving in August for $150, the Ultra microSDXC UHS-I Premium Edition card offers transfer speeds of up to 95MB/s for reading data.

Apple's third-quarter results due July 26
Apple has advised it will be issuing its third-quarter results on July 26, with a conference call to answer investor and analyst queries about the earnings set to take place later that day. The stream of the call will go live at 2pm PT (5pm ET) via Apple's investor site, with the results themselves expected to be released roughly 30 minutes before the call commences. Apple's guidance for the quarter put revenue at between $41 billion and $43 billion. http://apple.co/1oi1Pbm
Twitter stickers slowly roll out to users
Twitter has introduced "stickers," allowing users to add extra graphical elements to their photos before uploading them to the micro-blogging service. A library of hundreds of accessories, props, and emoji will be available to use as stickers, which can be resized, rotated, and placed anywhere on the photograph. Images with stickers will also become searchable with viewers able to select a sticker to see how others use the same graphic in their own posts. Twitter advises stickers will be rolling out to users over the next few weeks, and will work on both the mobile apps and through the browser. http://bit.ly/29bbwUE

Spiritual Milk for Boston Babes
Spiritual Milk for Boston Babes is a children's catechism by the minister John Cotton.[1] The 1656 catechism is the first known children's book published in America.[2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9]
Cotton's catechism consisted of fifteen pages of 64 questions and answers relating to teachings of Puritanism and the Church.[10] It discussed morals, manners, religious life, the ten commandments, and the last judgment.[1] In the seventeenth century, many English catechisms had over 100 questions and answers for the student of Christianity to remember.[10] The 64 questions and answers in Cotton's catechism made reference to 203 passages from the Old and New Testaments.[1] The children of the seventeenth and eighteenth century were taught Puritan morality with catechisms like Spiritual Milk for Boston Babes so they would learn not to anger God—otherwise they could be severely punished, even to the point of death.[11]
Cotton's catechism was originally printed in London in 1646. The full title in Great Britain was Milk for Babes. Drawn out of the Breasts of Both Testaments. Chiefly, for the Spiritually Nourishment of Boston Babes in Either England: But May Be of Like Use for Any Children. It was printed in London, England, by J. Coe for bookseller Henry Overton.[12] The short title in Great Britain of the prior original work of 1646 is Milk for Babes.[13]
The New England full version was called Spiritual Milk for Boston Babes in Either England. Drawn out of the Breasts of Both Testaments for Their Souls Nourishment but May Be of Like Use to Any Children. By John Cotton, B.D. late Teacher to the Church of Boston in New England. Cambridge. Printed by S. G. for Hezekiah Usher at Boston in New England, 1656. Samuel Green of Cambridge, Massachusetts, printed it in 1656 for bookseller Hezekiah Usher.[14] It was an octavo booklet.[15] A copy of this book was supposedly purchased by the Lenox Library of Massachusetts for $400 in 1895.[16] Cotton's catechism remained in print in both England and New England for some 200 years after the mid seventeenth century.[1] Eight known editions have been identified from the seventeenth century alone.[1]
Spiritual Milk for Boston Babes became part of the The New England Primer in the middle of the eighteenth century and remained popular into the mid nineteenth century.[17] Spiritual Milk for Boston Babes was called "The Catechism of New England".[18]

David Davis's shameful speech to the Tory party conference last Wednesday has been put in its proper context. While the shadow Home Secretary was delivering a populist rant about the dangers of immigration, his bed was being made, his dinner prepared and his bathroom cleaned by the very people he sees as such a threat to the British way of life. No fewer that 34 nationalities are represented among the staff of the Highcliff hotel in Bournemouth where Mr Davis was staying.
Much of Britain's service economy would collapse were it not for migrant workers, prepared to do the jobs that Britons reject. The NHS, to take one obvious example, would be unable to function without the thousands of doctors and nurses who come from abroad to staff it. But Mr Davis did not mention any of this to his audience. He was more interested in bandying around frightening statistics about the number of people who will come to Britain over the next 30 years.
The Tories must stop playing politics with immigration, appealing to the basest sections of society. Otherwise, they are open to justified accusations of xenophobia and hypocrisy.

Determining Factors of the Czech Foreign Trade Balance: Structural Issues in Trade Creation
Using panel data for 29 industries, we test alternative specifications of Czech export and import functions. The balance of trade is primarily influenced by the real exchange rate, aggregate demand and tariff changes. Reduced growth of the Czech economy after 1996 was an important factor that has kept the balance of trade at a sustainable level in the medium-term, contributing even to the appreciation of the real exchange rate. The secondary fundamental factors, relevant for structural adjustments, a sustainable trade balance and an equilibrium exchange rate, rest, however, on supply-side characteristics such as changes in endowments of physical and human capital, inflows of FDI and growing competitiveness of domestic production. We can argue that appreciation of the real exchange rate is a handicap to Czech exports, especially to exports to non-EU countries. Nevertheless, in the EU case, the appreciation of koruna was countervailed by tariff concessions, improved quality, switchover to commodities with higher contents of value added, gains associated with FDI and growing foreign demand absorption. At the same time, appreciation of the real exchange rate has significantly opened the Czech market to imports but the unconstrained import penetration remained blocked by the growing competitiveness of Czech products in costs, prices and quality.

I bought a blackberry bold 9900 last week .. it worked fine for a week and now it doesnt charge.. is there any solution for this? or shud i return the phone and get some other phone.. other than blackberry... ?? please advice
Hey chit567,
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
Have you tried plugging the BlackBerry is different outlets or tried a different USB cord?
Does the BlackBerry show a charging symbol or is the LED flashing red or green?
I look forward to your reply.

I have Blackberry 9900 on Software Platform: 184.108.40.2066
I update it to Software Platform: 18.104.22.1684
Through the blackberry desktop software, & I have problem each time I want to charge it its says that the inlet is not supported.
But if I restart it by pulling the battery it will charge.
So can you help me on this issue ASAP.
I tried to reinstall the software same issue acquired.
hello - I tried plugging in thru a power outlet and it charged pretty fine. I was using the usb to the computer which might have caused some issue..
But even then i see that battery discharges pretty fast. Is there i can do something to prevent it.
even with the power outlet the same issue
I have this same problem and see some other threads on this subject (Bold 9900 or 9930 suddenly won't charge, often gives the "The charging source connected to your Blackberry device cannot charge your battery" message). My bold is 4 days old, and worked fine until night before last when I was prompted to install the latest OS upgrade. I let the OS install overnight, and the next night when tried to charge had this problem. Doesn't matter which charger or cord, just shows the plugged in icon (not the lightning bolt) and won't charge. Battery pull does fix it, but also noted that post-battery pull restart now takes a really long time, it gets hung up about 3/4 of the way through, seems to have stopped, but if I wait long enough eventually reboots. And I don't have "Blink" installed. The new OS is Ver. 7.0.0 Bundle 2392 . I obviously don't want to go through this "battery pull wait forever to boot" routine every time I charge . . . Blackberry, you must have a way to address this . . . .?
HELP ! same problem here.. the device won't charge.. tried to remove the battery and put it back.. It just won't work in any way..
i first had this phone christmass 2011, it worked perfectly fine for 8 months then it broke, i replaced it and it broke again this happened 5 more times and the same issure occured that it WOULDNT CHARGE, but everytime i take it to the blackberry store they say there is nothing wrong with the phone but it wont charge on and charger, so is there anything that can happen or is blackberry just unreliable?
Could someone please reply to this post? The same thing happened to me last night. Now I have a half-way charged blackberry that won't last through the day. BB worked fine. BB charger worked fine (it's the one that came with the phone). Updated my phone online yesterday. Phone now won't charge when charger plugged into the USB to wall adaptor. It seems to be working plugged into the computer, but I haven't had it plugged in long.
This has worked for 2.5 years without ANY issue until I updated my BB yesterday.

Individuals have supports and services available that they have had a central role in developing, selecting and evaluating. These services are focused on successful living in communities and are offered by professionals with and without mental health histories and by peers.
Services and supports are offered in the context of people's economic, cultural and social situations, are based on the latest relevant knowledge and are oriented toward successful coping, empowerment, self-direction and recovery.

Natural Branches
Consistently Inconsistent!
When purchasing natural branches such as Manzanita, Curly Willow and Birch, keep in mind that they are unlike other decorative branches used for floral design. Each one is an individual shape and sculpture, and may take on a variety of shapes and variations. Most professional centerpieces are created using several branches to achieve a full look, so always consider purchasing additional pieces or fillers. This needs to be a first consideration when purchasing your branches.
It's best to order your branches all at once.
If you place an order today, and another order in a week, you will nearly always see a difference in the product. This is because the harvest areas change every 2-4 days, resulting in changes in the harvested product. No two harvests are ever the same.
Adapting Manzanita for Non-Centerpiece Use:
Our branches are harvested specifically for centerpiece use, and our suppliers are instructed to harvest the most symmetrical pieces available. They are generally not suitable for hanging on a wall, or placing flat against a vertical surface. Symmetrical pieces must be CUT OR TRIMMED for other specific uses. We DO NOT GUARANTEE that any cutting or trimming techniques will adapt your branches for the intended use.
The following characteristics of manzanita branches are naturally occurring, and are a part of working with the material.
Characteristics of Natural (red) Manzanita:
Shape: shapes vary with each piece, harvest area, and time of year. Manzanita can typically grow wide and flat rather than symmetrically, although we try to always ship more symmetrical pieces..
Branches: branches can vary greatly in diameter with each piece.
Size: sizes are approximate and vary with each piece, harvest area, and time of year.
Bark: color and condition of the bark will vary with each season, harvest area and time of year. Spring through Summer (six month period), Manzanita bark will regenerate and peeling will take place. To remove loose or peeling bark, use a soft brush. For stubborn areas, use a light wire brush. Some branches may turn a gray color, which is normal. If the entire branch or tree turns gray, please send us photos so that we can assist you with this. For peeling and gray areas, the best solution is to touch up with floral paint, such as Design Master's "October Brown" floral paint available at Michael's Crafts.
Spring and Summer Harvest: Spring through Summer (six month period), Manzanita bark will regenerate and peeling will take place.
Age: Manzanita branches will last indefinitely (we have centerpieces in our showroom that are several years old). Cracks and splits will occur as the wood naturally cures, however this will not cause them to break in half, fall apart, etc. Using the floral paint mentioned above to add color into the spliting areas makes them practically non-noticeable.
Leaves: leaves are mechanically or manually removed, depending on the current season, harvest or time of year.

Perhaps, the best thing about technical domain is that most of the things can be executed in more than one ways. It is always useful to know about the various methods of performing a single task. Today, we will observe four different ways to find out recovery model for any database.
Method 1
Right Click on Database >> Go to Properties >> Go to Option. On the Right side you can find recovery model.
Method 2
Click on the Database Node in Object Explorer. In Object Explorer Details, you can see the column Recovery Model.
Method 3
This is a very easy method and it gives all the database information in one script.
SELECT name AS [Database Name],
recovery_model_desc AS [Recovery Model] FROM sys.databases
Method 4
This method provides only one database at a time.
SELECT 'ADVENTUREWORKS' AS [Database Name],
AS [Recovery Model] GO
My recommendation
Of all the above methods, I prefer Method 3. It is accurate and can be used in T-SQL code. Besides, I can use it for many other purposes as well.
I would like to know which one is your favorite method .
Reference : Pinal Dave (http://blog.SQLAuthority.com)
36 comments. Leave new
i like the way , dave explains complex topic so simply and simple topics with more sweet way.
Nice article and thanks to give simple way of finding recovery model.
Sir, one more way i know is by use sp_helpdb [databasename] by this method we also know the recovery model.
It appears as if option number two is valid only for 2008. Management Studio for 2005 only mirrors the data in the treeview and to my knowledge there is no ability to customize the columns. Great tip though!
Hy Dave,
This is actually my first post here
I actually rather the second method, I'm becoming a hudge fan of the system views in order to se high level metadata info.
But if we are talking about the structure of our data models (for each database) i like to go and make the searchs on the information_schema.
Greetings from Mexico.
Hi Pinal,
really good and in depth explaination.. Thanks
I did try second method, however I didn't get all tools under Object Explorer Details and also column Recovery Model is any idea why?
I like the third one
I like the third one to.. As usual you rock you rock you rock you rock you rock!!!!
all these methodes are usable at interviews to impress the interviewer so these are helpful for us
I like the third one, and I also have to add that your way of explaining things has helped me on many occassions. Thanks Dave
I like the third one, since it lists the same for all the databases on a server.
Once again, good sir, PinalDave to the rescue!! Method 3 was exactly what I was looking for!
Thank you….AGAIN!! :-)
Method 3 is the best for me, coz you can use it across linked servers e.g. SELECT name AS [Database Name],
recovery_model_desc AS [Recovery Model]
FROM remoteservername.master.sys.databases
should method 3 work in ver 2008 r2? I get errored out.
I would like it best, too, if I can get it to work!
Did anyone has script to check when the database recovery model got changed ? I am looking into the errorlog on server but it seems some logs are missing on server so couldnt find the date and time.
Perfect, this is exactly what I needed.
Method 5
exec master..sp_helpdb will also give you the rec model of all the databases
the colums status provides a lot of infos such as also the rec model
but i agree with you Pinal the method 3 is the one i really prefer
keep up the good work
How can rollback last update statement? the update statement not in transaction.
Bharathi Kannan,
Awesome, I like the way the query explained. It helped me a lot in a critical situation.
how can you obtain for all databases on a server, the database name, recovery mode, State and size of each database?
I forgot to mention that the above methods to obtain the recovery model are great and I favor method 3 the most. I am currently obtaining the db names, recovery mode and state from sys.databases and then grabbing the database size from sp_helpdb. What I would like to be able to have is a query that gives me all of the information (db name, size, recovery mode and state) in one shot. Is this possible? if so, you advice on how is most appreciated.
EXEC sp_databases
exec sp_databases only returns the database name, size and remarks.
I am asking if there is a query to report the database name, recovery mode, state of the database and size of the database in one run.
As I indicated previously, I can obtain all info by querying sys.databases and then running sp_helpdb or now sp_databases but I want to run one query and have all four items reported. (name, mode,state and size)
Is this possible?
SELECT name AS [Database Name],
recovery_model_desc AS [Recovery Model],
state_desc AS [State],
database_id AS [ Db_id],
user_access_desc AS [ User Mode ]
FROM sys.databases
Thank you, i will give it a try when i get a chance.
SELECT sys.databases.name AS [Database Name],
sys.databases.recovery_model_desc AS [Recovery Model],
sys.databases.state_desc AS State,
sys.databases.database_id AS [ Db_id],
sys.databases.user_access_desc AS [ User Mode ],
( ( Sum(sys.master_files.size) * 8 ) / 1024 ) AS [Size (Mbs)]
FROM sys.databases
INNER JOIN sys.master_files
ON sys.master_files.database_id = sys.databases.database_id
GROUP BY sys.databases.name,
ORDER BY sys.databases.name
Some useful information below:
Databases Default Recovery Model Can we change the recovery model Are backup required? Can be restored? : note: all system databases are version dependants. Can SQL services be started without these databases?
master Simple Yes (Full, Diff, Simple) Yes Conditions Apply: If master becomes unusable, you can return the database to a usable state in either of the following ways: a. Restore master from a current database backup. If you can start the server instance, you should be able to restore master from a full db backup. b. If severe damage to master prevents you from starting SQL Server, you must rebuild master. No
model User Configurable Yes (Full, Diff, Simple) Yes Yes, its possible to restore the model db. If severe damage to master prevents you from starting SQL Server, you must rebuild master. No, it will first started but after few seconds services will gets stopped itself.
msdb Simple (Default) Yes (Full, Diff, Simple) Yes Yes, its possible to restore the model db. If severe damage to master prevents you from starting SQL Server, you must rebuild master. Note: Make sure the collation is same in the backup set. Yes, it will display "Recovery Pending", it will not logg any server information and SQL agent services will be started somehow it won't display any job and when try to access any folder located under SQL Server Agent, it will display an error message saying "Failed to retrieve data for this reqeust". Though we can see the Error log folder, and associated errors occur in the sql server. Once we have msdb files, we need to restart the sql services.
tempdb Simple No, you can't change the recovery model for tempdb. It will remain "Simple" No No No
resource NA NA No Yes, could be rebuild as well. Yes
Configure Distribution Simple Yes (Full, Diff, Simple) Yes Yes Yes
Will you please explain me, what you have written exactly..
It is very difficult to understand, looks like full of Q and A…
But little bit complex to go through it
really so grate
Good Info , Pinal . Simple and straight forward. I am huge fan of T-SQL ,So , my vote is Option3 .
I have take database backup but after 2 hour my HD cresh and now I want database recovery please help here .. how can take my database recovery again
my vote is Option3 .
your explanation about any topic is simple and understandable thank you
Option 3 is especially helpful comparing multiple databases that "should" have the same settings. (Dynamics GP multiple companies). Thanks.
I like Method 3 the best.

The Guardian: "While Stevens may have largely abandoned the standard verse-chorus song structure, he hasn't abandoned his celebrated way with a melody: however out-there the music gets, however harrowing the lyrics become, there's usually an incredible tune that goes some way towards sugaring the pill."
Spin: "A mostly electronic affair longer on beats than on banjos, Adz arrives free of any narrative superstructure (excepting allusions to outsider artist Royal Robertson) and eschews much of what has won Stevens his devoted fan base--delicate acoustic fingerpicking, tidy song structures, colorful characters plucked from dusty pre-Wikipedia reference books."
Sputnik Music: "But whereas Tyler Durden revels in this anarchy, I get the sense that Sufjan is deathly scared of it, which makes Age of Adz not a celebration of anti-culture but a majestic tragedy about the loss of belief, and this is equal parts heartbreaking, fascinating, and stunning. It all makes sense in a Sufjan sort of way."
MusicOHM: "Stevens undoubtedly remains a substantial talent - this is arguably as good a showcase of his madcap aspirations and multi-instrumental skill as anything else in his catalogue. He is not, however, a judicious editor. This is an extravagant and undisciplined album that is nearly impossible to digest."
The Age of Adz is out now via Asthmatic Kitty.

A scenic spot when pollution doesn't embroil the coastline. Nice per to look at the city from. Nice to sit at a cafe and watch the boats come in and out. Check out the Dubliner bar while you are there on a sunny day, they have outside seating.
Every time I had some free time (not very often unfortunately) I always went here to take a walk, look at the sea and the boats, eat something and just peacefully relax
This is just a couple of minutes walk from May Fourth Square. The weather was windy with cool air, even thought it was Sunny on the day I visited both places. Just remember to apply UV cream, as you can easily get tanned under the sun.
Our trips here are always just okay. There are a few big shopping malls in the area, and loads of food choices, but overall, there isn't much entertaining things to do. Some of the boats are really pretty, and you can walk pretty far out on two piers, but don't go out of your way to come here.

A good sample of the olimpic side of Qingdao. Like other cities which had olimpic games...it change the city forever. Looks like the olimpic spirit still burning in that place. Amazing.
Well spread out with restaurants in there in the vicinity, this place is ideal for a stroll in the evening if weather is good. Maybe frequency of boats could be increased for the tourists as the wait between departures is long.
It's a great place to just walk unless its smoggy. There are a few activities and lots of other things to do nearby, especially at Marina City.
Beautiful water front with spectacular view of the city. We came thru the site of the May 4th monument. there are vendors peddling gift items. It is clean and organized. A lot of people pose with the red Olympic torch as the back drop. There is a much more modern shopping mall on the other end. Locals tell me the...

Palestinian Film 'Omar' Nominated for an Oscar
(JTA) — The Palestinian film 'Omar," directed by Hany Abu-Assad, has just been nominated for an Academy Award in the Foreign Language Film category.
It's the second nomination for Abu-Assad, whose "Paradise Now" was up for the prize in 2005. It's also the second time a Palestinian film has been nominated, according to Haaretz.
"Omar," shot in Nazareth and the West Bank, is a romantic thriller about a baker arrested and beaten by Israeli intelligence agents following the murder of an Israeli soldier. He is then forced to become a double agent for Israeli intelligence.
Nazareth-born Abu-Assad has Israeli citizenship but identifies as a Palestinian, The Times of Israel reports. Apparently the film itself has a similar slippery identity. Local media has questioned whether it should be labeled a Palestinian film, as it was filmed in the Israeli town of Nazareth and features several Israeli Arab actors. Abu-Assad, who made the film with an entirely Palestinian crew and had mostly Palestinian funding, says there's no debating the fact that it is an entirely Palestinian film.
"Omar" earned the Jury Prize at the 2013 Cannes Film Festival.

Wells rewarded with another start for Angels
[caption id="attachment_125389" align="alignright" width="250"] Vernon gives third-base coach Dino Ebel a fist bump heading for home after his two-run homer in the second inning of Tuesday night's game against the A's. (Photo by Kevin Sullivan, The Orange County Register)[/caption]
Vernon Wells, who has two homers and five RBIs in his last four games, will start in left field for the Angels' latest do-or-die game, Wednesday night's third game of a four-game series against the Oakland A's.
Wells earned another start with a two-run home run in the second inning of Tuesday night's game. The Angels rallied in the ninth with two runs but couldn't get any more with runners at the corners and no outs, and they lost for the second straight time to the A's, 6-5.
Wells has gotten more playing time at the expense of Mark Trumbo, who will sit for the fourth time in the last eight. He's 5 for his last 45 (.111) dating to Aug. 25, with no homers during that span, and in September he's batting .083 (2 for 24).
Wells hit just .218 last year, his first with the Angels after getting traded from Toronto. His hitting was beginning to improve in May this year before he injured his right thumb and needed surgery. After his return to the lineup July 28, he struggled, batting just .114 (4 for 35), with one home run and six RBIs in the 11 games in which he had at least one at-bat.
In his last nine games with an at-bat, however, he's picked it up, batting .281 (9 for 32), with four homers and nine RBIs since Aug. 23.
After last Saturday's game against Detroit, when he had an RBI double and made a couple of nice running catches playing left field, manager Mike Scioscia said: "Any time you play better, you're going to get more opportunities to help a team win."
"Offensively, obviously he hasn't performed to the level that he had when he was with Toronto," Scioscia added. "But he's a much better player than he's shown here in the last year and a half, and hopefully he'll give us a lift here the last month."

Quantic, Pedrito Martinez, and Mr. Pauer at the Heineken TransAtlantic Festival 2012
Climb aboard the Sound Bomb Bus.

The cool sea breeze whipped through the North Beach Bandshell on Saturday night as Afro-Latin rhythms bounced off the circular wall of the oceanside, outdoor venue.
Colombia's Quantic Sound System and NYC's Pedrito Martinez Group rang in the Heineken Transatlantic Festival's 10th anniversary with complex yet infectiously danceable beats.
Quantic is the broad moniker for all of UK DJ-producer Will Holland's work. And his Sound System brought Miami a dose of Afro-based music from Colombia's Pacific coast, filtered through the modern lens of electronic production.
Will Holland and Quantic Sound System.
With a laptop, vocalist, and live percussion, the result was mesmerizing and upbeat. But when Holland traded out his MacBook for an accordion, it was even better. And Quantic's female singer had such perfect pitch, it was a pleasure just to hear her speak and an honor to listen as she sang.
Miami's Mr. Pauer, AKA Toto Gonzalez.
When Quantic finished its set, Miami dude and recent Latin Grammy nominee Mr. Pauer took over the speakers, dropping everything from Locos Por Juana to a cumbia Nirvana mashup.

Next up, the Pedrito Martinez Group hit the stage. The bandleader, Pedrito, is a New York percussionist from Cuba who's collaborated with Sting, Bruce Springsteen, and Elton John, playing on over 100 albums, among which six were nominated for Grammys. His group features vocals, bass, and double percussion, offering up a heady mix of Yoruba be bop.

Ariacne Trujillo's work on the keys swam deep into jazzy waters, fingers flying like a humming bird, and stopping on a dime to hover at the open flower of rumba guaguanco.
The crowd was loving it.

Between and during songs, members of the group traded instruments, and booty danced. Then they played jazz cuts so beatific, no time signature we are able to comprehend could have reigned them in. Our body was reduced to a maniac's head bop. Meanwhile, people who can actually dance found the groove.

Pedrito beat the drums like we were going to war. But war was just another name for party. And the band seemed to enoy it as much as the audience.
A big thanks to the Rhythm Foundation for continuing to bring Planet Earth's best world music to Miami. See ya next time.

Washington Post Staff Writers
Wednesday, February 4, 2009
A classic rule of Washington's political culture -- that public service can lead to personal riches -- seemed to collide yesterday with the presidential promise that the time has come for a break with the past.
Former senator Thomas A. Daschle, whom President Obama once called "the original no-drama guy," suddenly was forced to step aside as the president's nominee for secretary of health and human services because of problematic ties to wealthy private interests.
It was a jarring twist to Daschle's 30-year career in Washington, one built on a reputation of integrity and decency. After losing his Senate seat while serving as that body's most powerful Democrat in 2004, he swiftly signed on as a special policy adviser to a 900-member law firm and pulled in a multimillion-dollar salary. It is a well-worn path, trod by dozens of ex-lawmakers in the past decade.
But some observing the debacle wondered if the capital's ways were changing. The story of how he fell in with the monied elite and out with the popular mood involves a longtime Democratic financier, Leo Hindery Jr., and his keen interest in currying influence with powerful politicians. The outcome caught many in Washington off guard.
"I think it's possible this is some sort of bridge between an old Washington and the new Washington," David Arkush of Congress Watch said of the initial backing of Daschle and the sudden reversal.
Until this week, Daschle was regarded as a shoo-in for confirmation. His undoing came with the release of his financial disclosure forms last Friday and information that he had paid $146,000 in back taxes and interest to resolve problems flagged by Obama's vetters.
Although Daschle, as a former member of the Senate Finance Committee, helped write tax laws, he explained to the committee on Monday that he did not understand that the around-the-clock car and driver in his new life was subject to taxation and not just a gift from a friend.
It was the relationship with that friend, wealthy media entrepreneur Hindery, that ultimately ended Daschle's return to public life.
Hindery, Daschle said last June in a Las Vegas speech, is "as close to a brother as I'll ever have." Daschle called Hindery someone "I have turned to over and over again for guidance, for direction and inspiration," including on the subject of national health insurance. Daschle even pushed him for a job with the Obama administration, though none was offered.
Hindery had no comment on yesterday's events. Though both Daschle and Hindery have long experience in Washington's ways, they found themselves entangled in a political mess neither had anticipated.
Hindery is an immensely sociable, self-confident corporate dealmaker and race-car driver with strong policy opinions. He has a large network of confidants in Washington: Two former senators, besides Daschle, sit on his corporate board; he was John Edwards's chief campaign adviser on economic matters; and he is a board member of the Gephardt Group, run by the former House majority leader, on whose campaign finance board he once sat. In 2004, Hindery was Daschle's candidate to become head of the Democratic National Committee, and a former assistant at a media company Hindery ran is now a senior policy adviser to Senate Majority Leader Harry M. Reid (D-Nev.).
Hindery's access in Washington has been lubricated by his personality, his ideas and the wealth he accumulated at a succession of media firms -- Tele-Communications Inc., AT&T, Global Crossing and InterMedia Partners. He spread that money around to nonprofit groups and politicians, donating first to Republicans and more recently to Democrats. His checks for at least $1 million in the 2002 election, and hundreds of thousands of dollars before that, arrived at moments when some of the 240 separate corporate deals in which he says he played a role were subject to intense regulatory and tax scrutiny.
According to a 2003 legal brief filed by the nonprofit Center for Responsive Politics, soft-money contributions by Hindery and Global Crossing, where he was chief executive officer, were illustrative of the "nexus between large political donations and significant government decisions."
The firm sought regulatory approval in 1999 to build undersea cables to Japan but ran into opposition from three rival firms. "Out of nowhere, Global Crossing emerged as a political powerhouse in Washington, thanks to a multi-million dollar lobbying effort and $2 million" in contributions by the company, Hindery, and two other top executives, the brief said. Hindery was dismissed by Global Crossing before accounting irregularities came to light, and he quickly became a vocal critic of its management.
But it is his payments for Daschle's car -- valued at $255,000 over the past two years -- and his monthly checks to the former senator for $83,333 that put Daschle and his "brother" in the headlights. The two men met at a San Francisco fundraiser in 1997, when Hindery was chief executive of Tele-Communications Inc. They then met repeatedly for dinner in Washington, according to a former senior Daschle aide. Daschle also has visited Hindery's multimillion-dollar ranch in Colorado.
Their friendship was fueled partly by political affinity, according to sources who know both men. Hindery has pushed an unconventional corporate titan's agenda, including universal health coverage, gay and lesbian rights, an end to tax breaks for hedge fund managers, universal access to broadband Internet connections, worker's rights and stronger government regulation of the economy, among other causes. Such an agenda made him a star to some Democrats.
"People like Leo are in it for the ego and like being around politicians," said a former congressional staffer who met Hindery several times.
But few entrepreneurs can afford to pay former politicians such as Daschle a million-dollar annual salary based on friendship alone. Jenny Backus, a spokeswoman for Daschle, said that after joining Hindery's InterMedia equity investment firm in 2005, the former senator helped find investors and explain the firm's decisions to them.
Daschle was in some ways not an obvious choice for such a role: He didn't serve on the Senate committees that oversee telecommunications and media laws or the Federal Communications Commission. But within telecommunications policy circles, Daschle was said to have a key connection at the FCC because of his sponsorship in 2002 of Jonathan Adelstein as one of the commission's five members.
Adelstein, Daschle's former legislative aide from South Dakota, went on to hire Daschle's scheduler, Amber Danter, to become his confidential assistant. Daschle's chief fundraiser, Anya Hoerburger, meanwhile, went to work for Hindery's firm. "Tom Daschle has never contacted Commissioner Adelstein regarding InterMedia," said Katie Yocum, a spokesman for Adelstein. She declined to comment further.
Daschle has frequently weighed in on communications policy and Adelstein has often expressed the same views. In 2004, for example, Daschle sent an aide to an FCC hearing chaired by Adelstein in South Dakota to register his opposition to rules proposed by a Republican member that allowed owners of television stations to purchase newspaper and radio stations in the same town.
Hindery, the former chief executive of AT&T's broadband and telecommunications division and New York regional sports channel the YES Network, also opposed the proposed rules, which would favor large companies such as Newscomm or Viacom over the smaller firms in which InterMedia had invested. The rules drew criticism from other Democratic lawmakers and Adelstein.
Adelstein has also vocally supported tax credits for minority- and female-owned broadcast stations. InterMedia is an investor in CineLatino, a Spanish-language movie channel, and the "Soul Train" franchise, which is geared toward an African American audience.
Fred Wertheimer of the nonprofit advocacy group Democracy 21, who is a veteran of many disputes over ethics in Washington, said: "I don't think people should mistake this and think it means there is no way to change the culture of Washington. Just the opposite. It indicates that there are new lines. In some ways, this is a warning signal to the city that the rules are changing."

Viktor Bout, the Russian arms dealer dubbed "the Merchant of Death", was last night sentenced to 25 years in a US federal prison after being convicted of helping a Colombian terror group that was seeking to kill Americans.
The sentence by New York District Judge Shira Scheindlin brings down the final curtain on a sinister story spanning five continents and featuring some of the nastiest conflicts of the past 20 years, from the Middle East to Afghanistan and Africa's civil wars.
Prosecutors depicted Bout, 45, as an amoral criminal who caused misery around the world. But to the end he protested his innocence, telling the judge the charges were false. "It's a lie," he shouted, saying he never intended to kill anyone. "God knows this truth." Trained in the GRU, the former Soviet military intelligence service, Bout began his career in arms trading around 1990. By the end of the decade, he was a multimillionaire, shipping weapons around the world in 30 aircraft.
By the early 2000s, however, international pressure mounted, as first the United Nations and then the US imposed sanctions against a man that prosecutors called a "transnational criminal" who was "ready, willing and able" to supply arms to terrorists and tyrants. Such was Bout's notoriety that he inspired the arms dealer played by Nicolas Cage in the 2005 film Lord of War.
In 2007 the US Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) launched an investigation into Bout, setting up a scheme to lure him into agreeing to sell Russian ground-to-air missiles and other weapons to agents posing as representatives of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (Farc), whose operations were largely financed by drug trafficking. The insurgent group has long been classified by the US as a terrorist organisation, and Washington has regularly dispatched special forces and intelligence units to help Colombian police. By committing to sell weapons to the Farc, Bout could thus be charged with conspiring to kill American citizens – charges which under US law can be brought against foreign citizens in foreign countries.
In 2008, DEA agents managed to coax Bout out of Russia to Thailand, where they taped him in a Bangkok hotel room where the deal was settled and he was arrested. Despite intense pressure on the Thai authorities from Moscow, was finally extradited back to the US in 2010.
After his conviction, Bout was held first held in solitary confinement, before being released into the general population at the New York prison where he has been held before sentencing.
All along Bout has maintained he was just a businessman, who fell victim to a vendetta by the American government. Bout's lawyer, Albert Dayan, accused the US of "outrageous" conduct after his client turned down a first approach to enter into a deal with the Farc. Prosecutors said Bout's trading made him a threat to the entire world.

On a Tuesday Drama Class
They met at a place they all knew,
And talked about life.
A place airtight that enclosed no judgement
nor hatred or strife
And they opened their mouths in solace.
They met at a place they all knew,
And freed their passion.
A place where no window or door
kept in accordance the fashion
in which they expressed it.
They met in a place they all knew,
And just listened.
A place where all comments and views
could all glisten
in the presence of acceptance.
They met in a place they all knew,
And shortly continued their track.
A place that they knew would,
In all of its workings,
Be waiting for them to come back.
