The key is to keep moving. Move in and out of melee range. Use your cc abilities like blind liberally. If you stop moving and try to go toe to toe with the mob, you'll die (unless you are a Guardian). The thief is the most mobile of all the professions but also the squishiest.
Every class seems about equal in performance and capability. Play it like a run-of-the-mill 3rd person action game. Guild Wars 2 is closer to games like Kingdoms of Amular, Darksiders or Demon Souls than World of Warcraft.
Much less under the hood dice rolling in GW2 than in new era MMOs [WoW] or true MMOs [Everquest].
It's an action game with RPG & platforming elements. Play it as such, move.

"Never forget what you are, for surely the world will not. Make it your strength. Then it can never be your weakness. Armour yourself in it, and it will never be used to hurt you."
For PvE i sugest you start of by playing with daggers. If you don't learn how to play with them early on (and struggle a bit) you'll never get it once you face "real" enemies. Try to "master" backstabs.
I personally lvl with just the shortbow and dual pistols though since sb is great for aoeing and pistols are awesome at bursting.
For the rest move and dodge, the moment you play static is the moment you do it wrong.
I've been very slowly levelling up a thief since release (only about 55 now) and I've found that Sword / Pistol is the most enjoyable playstyle. Shadow step in, pistol whip as much as your initiative allows and then either roll to regain initiative or shadow step back and switch to either Pistol / Pistol or, as I prefer, short bow to finish the mobs off if they are still clinging on to life. S/P does allow for some great AoE pulls with multiple mobs when you gain some higher level AoE abilities.
Being aware of your opponent's attacks is also pretty essential as you'll go squish otherwise.
Add Leeching Venoms to that and you can pretty much just stand there. ^_^ Sword / Pistol: It's potentially the strongest set you can bring as a Venom build. It brings a strong evade that does quite a lot of damage, a gapcloser that immobilizes, interrupts, blind zones and auto attacks that can hit 3 targets per strike to spread your venoms.
- The Slice combo hits 3 targets/hit and now one hit only uses 1 venom stack, so you can get 3x leeching proc per strike.
- Infiltrator's Strike is the perfect way to get in and out of fights and immobilizes your target if your shadowstep-strike hits.
- Pistol Whip gives you the survivability you need to stay in fights thanks to its evade and deals quite a good ammount of damage, even without +crit and +crit damage. It's also an extremly good way to unload your Venoms during a teamfight if you can hit multiple targets with it.
- Headshot provides you with interrupts, which is always good.
- Black Powder creates blind zones (and a smoke combo field), which allows you to cover team-mates who are being focused, get easy stomps and smooth revives.
I use this no-share & condition removal build for solo play:
There are also variant for venom sharing, tho range of shares is a bit too low for my liking (aka ranged teammates do not get shared venoms).
I played a thief until around level 51-52. I stopped playing it because certain skill challenges and the such were just to difficult. I really didn't understand the game, and this has been fixed quite a bit by rolling a ranger.
I didn't realize how pivotal weapon swapping was, and was building my thief without any survival whatsoever without thinking about it. The Ranger fixed these issues.It allowed me to realize how beneficial other stats can be. It also helped me realize how important evade is. I am now looking forward to going back to my thief and completing him, but honestly the ranger has stolen my heart. Level 80 in just under 2 weeks and currently working towards my legendary.

Sword and pistol you can actually toe to toe by keeping black powder up, but it's slow killing and not really that fun. I enjoy sword/dagger too. You can stealth and hit from behind to stun your target, or you can run around swinging and use your dagger to dump initiative points. Dancing dagger bounces between enemies and even though it was nerfed a little while ago, isn't too bad of damage. Plus sword and dagger looks cool. : P
Thank you for all the doubts, and for all the questioning,
for all the loneliness and for all the suffering.
For all the emptiness, and the scars it left inside.
it inspired in me, an impetus to fight.

Have you ever purchased from PartSelect.com before?
Thank you for helping make our site better.
PartSelect Number PS1483583
This part is a possible option when ice door won't open or shut properly or when water is not dispensing.
This part works with the following brands: GE, Hotpoint & Kenmore.
This part fixes the following symptoms:
removed the control panel ,using a paper clip, removed five screws, disconected wire connector, and removed the solenoid. reversed procedure to reassemble. ordered the part one day and received it the next day. Thank you for the prompt response.
Help other customers find the most helpful instructions.
Were these instructions helpful?
repair was easy, just removed control panel and removed screws from solenoid, switched out with new, was done in minutes
1. Remove outside panel (snaps off)2. Remove Control panel 4 screws3. Remove Solenoid by taking out 2 bottom screws4. Remove solenoid weight from crank lever5. Place new solenoid weight from crank lever6. Insert weight in solenoid7. Place back 2 bottom screws solenoid8. Place back Control panel screws9. Snap back into place outside panel
Fairly simple fix. You must first uplug refrigerator, then take off the inside freeze door panel, approx. 25 screws. Then you must take out the trap door assembly approx. 6 six screws. Pop off the LED panel, requires the use of a flat blade screw driver to pop it off. Remove solenold by removing 3 screws, replace with new solenold.
Followed the on line video. Clear, concise & easy. Thanks.
I followed the video provided, and followed the advice of bill from cleveland hts. ohio, and did not have to remove the trim to access everything. The video made it so simple, a monkey could have learned how in 5 minutes. Thank you very much for all the help on this website. I will recommend it to all.
Removed access panel on freezer door, removed circuit board, removed and replaced solenoid, reinstalled previously removed parts
It was actually very easy. You simply remove the display cover (you just want to be careful removing the display cover so as not to damage the lower part which secures it to the door), unplug the wires, remove the inner cover (4 screws) to gain access to the solenoid. Remove the 4 screws on the solenoid replace with the new one, put the inner cover back in with the 4 screws that were previously removed, plug the wires back in and then replace the display cover.
I never would have attempted the repair as all my research indicated that I would have to take the stainless steel door off to replace the ice maker solenoid that shuts the ice chute door. But on your site someone (bless them)wrote that you could get at the solenoid by popping off the electronic selector panel. They are on the underside of the dispenser and not at all visible. And your video helped too. Thanks.
I searched the site, found the part - solenoid, watched the "how to" video and the repair was a snap. Saved myself tons of money versus having a repair person come over. I do have an older model and needed to prop the front cover panel off with a screwdriver (just under the covering) saw this on a posting from another individual, thanks for the heads up.
no instructions came with the part so I wrote for help from your techs. They were able to tell me how to access the solenoid. From there I was able to figure the rest out. I had to remove the trim, electrical board, flap, springs and arm to reach the screws necessary to remove the solenoid. I removed some of the corrosion with a baking soda paste so I could remove the screws. I carefully noted each step and position of the parts I removed and reversed the process to put things back after replacing the solenoid.
This time I did not make repair. I have purchased only to have spare parts. I have changed this parts recentely and I think this parts are not strong enough to work more than two or three years.
I followed the instructions posted by previous custmers and they were accurate and simple
First remove trim surrounding ice/water dispenser assembly. Use a flat spackle knife to obtain space between door and trim. Be careful not t scratch refrigerator door. Then pry trim off. This was the most difficult part of repair. The front plate of the dispenser is held to the back of the dispenser by two friction fastners and in the case of my refrigerator a phillips screw (some don't have screw in middle). Use a small round tool like an allen wrench to push up on the 2 fastners to release them. Next push the front assembley aside and remove the 4 screws holding the back part of the dispenser. Push that assembly aside. Remove the defective solenoid assembly by removing the 3 mounting screws. The solenoid base can be worked out by slipping it out of the solenoid assembly plunger still attached to the dispenser door assembly. Next slide the plunger off of the dispenser door assembly. Install new solenoid assembly by reversing this procedure.Hint - I found the ice door assembly (wr17x11653) also needed replacement and it is well worth the effort to replace both at the same time.
We followed the instructions we found on this site. First we unplugged the refrigerator. Then we removed the control panel that has the ice type selection on it by releasing the three spring latches. These are accessible from the bottom of the panel looking up toward the ice dispenser. There are three holes. Press a narrow screwdriver or punch in each of these holes and then pull out the control panel. (Be careful not to disconnect the wires, but observe how the wires are routed.) Then we removed the ice tube cover that covers the solenoid assembly. There were four screws. One was very rusty and it required some WD40 to loosen it. Once the cover was removed the solenoid was visible on the right. (It has a floating component that attaches to the "arm" of the flap. This is how the solenoid opens and closes the flap. The flap needs to close properly so ice does not build up in the door.) There were three screws that had to be removed to get the solenoid out. (The top one you may just need to loosen once the bottom two are removed.) When the solenoid was removed we also removed the old floating component from the flap are and replace it with the new one. We slid this into the solenoid hole and then screw it in with the three screws. Before we attached everything, we plugged in the refrigerator to test the solenoid. We dispensed some ice and waited to hear the flap close. (The flap close is slightly delayed so be patient.)We attached the cover that was over the solenoid being careful to route the wires as they were when we started. We test the solenoid again. Then we snapped the control panel back into place and tested again. We found that having the right size screwdriver made a difference especially dealing with rusty screws. It was also handy to have a good flashlight. Having extra hands was helpful to hold the control panel and cover while working on the solenoid and routing the wires.

It goes without saying that millions of Samsung Galaxy S4 owners around the world are waiting on the manufacturer to roll out Android 4.4 KitKat. Google released KitKat late last year, and so far it has been released for a handful of devices. Samsung recently rolled out Android 4.4 KitKat for the international LTE variant of Galaxy Note 3, but the Galaxy S4 is yet to receive the same treatment, though its expected to in the near future. Yet another Android 4.4.2 build for Galaxy S4 has now leaked online.
The I9505XXUFNA5 carries a build date of January 14th, and is said to be better than the KitKat build for Galaxy S4 that was previously leaked. Many bugs are claimed to have been fixed and speed improvements have also been noticed. The keyboard layout has been improved in landscape orientation and a camera shortcut has been added to the lockscreen. So far the company hasn't confirmed when it intends to roll out the update officially, rumor has it that the update might be released around February or March. People using carrier locked devices may have to wait even longer as carriers tend to hold up updates so that they can run their own tests. If you're feeling adventurous enough, the leaked Android 4.4.2 build can be downloaded from here.

For Sale:
For Sale: Sennheiser HD540 & HD540 II Reference
Will Ship To: CONUS
For sale are two separate headphones:
1. Sennheiser HD540 Reference - $85 plus shipping of $10 in CONUS ***SOLD!***
2. Sennheiser HD540 Reference II - $100 plus shipping of $10 in CONUS ***SOLD!***
I own multiple pairs of Sennheiser HD540 and HD540 II Reference headphones, and I've decided to sell off one of each. Both units are 300 ohms, so they're more suited to use with a separate amp rather than with just iPod output.
These headphones for sale both have brand new earpads installed: genuine Sennheiser 041299 velour pads (made for the HD560 model, but adapted to the HD540 as described by me in this post). If you've seen these models for sale on eBay or elsewhere, they almost always need new earpads, as the originals from the 1990s will have disintegrated. The earpads alone sell for at least $35 shipped, so please don't insult me with lowball offers comparing my price to some eBay or other sale without new pads. When I purchased these phones, I also disassembled them down to the bare drivers to thoroughly clean them, including removing residue from prior rotted foam. These phones are both in good condition, but they show some minor wear as would be expected of any vintage headphones from the 1990s.
I've owned a lot of headphones over the years, including the Sennheiser HD580 and HD650. When equipped with comparable cables, I still prefer the HD540 series over either of those. The HD540 models have great soundstage. They're not bass-head cans, but their frequency response is very well balanced. And because their round circumaural shape is larger than that of the 580/600/650 models, the 540 models don't tend to make your ears get as warm, and the pressure is distributed over a larger area, so they're more comfortable to wear. (Tip: to reduce clamping pressure on the 540, slide the adjustable part of the headband as high as it will go, then spread the headphones as wide as you can over some books for a day or two. If you do the same thing with the 580/600/650 models, you risk cracking the plastic part of the headband. The 540 headband is apparently more durable.)
The HD540 series can accept aftermarket cables made for Sennheiser 580/600/650, but if those cables use Cardas ends, you'll need to grind off some of the plastic on the Cardas ends for them to fit into the cable slots on the 540.
Differences between the HD540 and HD540 II (as far as I can tell):
- The HD540 was made in Germany, while the HD540 II was made in Ireland.
- Sennheiser offered the HD540 in both 600 ohm and 300 ohm versions. The HD540 II units were all 300 ohms. My units for sale are both 300 ohms.
- The HD540 II comes with a slightly nicer cable (better grade of wire) and has a 1/8" plug with a sleek 1/4" adapter. The HD540 cable just has a 1/4" plug.
- The HD540 has the brand and model logos printed on the top of the adjustable part of the headband, while the HD540 II just has plain graphics elements there. (See photos.)
- The HD540 has gray earcup housings. The HD540 II has greenish-blue earcup housings. (See photos.)
- Sennheiser made some minor changes to the drivers in the HD540 II model. If using the same cable, I'm not sure I could tell apart the drivers in a blind test.
PM me with any questions.

Something of Marc Craste appears in 32 year old Parisien Stephane Berla's tribute to Dionysos, certainly in the animated section. It features the spectacular escape of a puppet from a rather unusual prison inside a snow globe, and also a cemetary. This is interspersed with a lonely pop star dreaming of returning home to his family. I thought the music a delight and I want to know more about the singer. Job done, I think, for Stephane.
Karen Penman & Liam Brazier's animation for Dan Le Sac Vs. Scroobius Pip is described in the festival programme as controversial and I suppose the lyrics rather than the visuals are. Personally I liked the music very much with its diatribe (or maybe manifesto) for contemporary commandments. There are far more than a mere 10 commandments delivered in very much tongue in cheek fashion, a mixture of genuinely relevant imperatives and the extravagant. Karen and Liam create a graffitti wall full of the detritus of today's society. It's very urban.
Australian Brendan Cook directed this jaunty romp across a planet with a rather long-legged assembly of beings following the singer, equally etiolated but with a human face, across, down and round the planet. The music is never less than pleasant and the video professionally put together. It's all very cheerful and uplifting.
Assaf Benharroch and Idan Vardi's beautiful animation of Efrat Ben Zur's ballad Every Day is full of enigmatic shots of a young girl fleeing from a broken heart. I do not know the singer but I love the song. This is a dreamy, haunting piece of work made up of soft pastel shades.
Jonas Odell is a very successful commercial animator of music videos and his promotional movie for The Hours" is typically exuberant and highly skilled. Set on a stage, Jonas has all sorts of swish movements of scenery and props, alongside skulls, skeletons and boxing gloves and other eccentricities. Use of theatrical black, white and grey cut-outs and stage devices add to a clever and exciting piece of work. I'm reminded of the Sergeant Pepper animations.
And my winner? I shouldn't ask myself this. James Odell will probably win for sheer fizzing technical skill but I have a secret fancy for the one from Israel.

First things first: I am not endorsing either candidate with this post. And I was inspired to write this after reading Presentation Zen: John McCain's background visuals.
I watched the McCain speech on TV and yes, I was really bothered by the green screen behind him. And the blue screen. Of course, those in the live audience could see that it was not a green screen, but an image of what we now know as Walter Reed Middle School. Pundits have speculated that the campaign meant to show a photo of Walter Reed Army Medical Center – either way, I want to know why no one thought about how the background would look to the TV audience and more importantly, what it had to do with McCain's speech.
The McCain camp was quoted as saying that "it's [the Walter Reed Middle School image] simply a generic photo, like others used and it had no specific meaning." I hope that the PR person running the campaign doesn't really believe that because it shows a fundamental misunderstanding of our cultural communication.
Images ALWAYS have specific meaning. That's what they do. To brush off a photo used in the biggest speech of his campaign as "generic" is incomprehensible to me. These background images should have been carefully chosen to support McCain's message. We live in a visual culture. You can't slap something up on a 52×30-foot screen during a nationally-televised speech and not think about what message the image conveys.

This is where Reed (well, his legs) made his magical appearance:
I'm pretty cute, right?
Here is Reed watching himself on video from a year ago,
back when he was innocent and easy.
I was asked by two friends if I stopped to take pictures of Reed during the climax of the following story. I have no pictures, and you'll see why.
We have a new trick to keep Reed in his room: latching the door shut. I rigged it so I can latch it while still being able to see into the room through a crack in the door. Perfect. He hasn't slept during nap time, but he does stay in his room at least, so I can get something done.
Last night, I put Reed to bed, latched him in, and sat down with Skyler in the family room. 10 minutes later, I heard a loud crack in the ceiling, looked up, and the heating grate had busted through and was hanging by one corner and Reed's legs were dangling through the hole. I jumped up and pushed his legs back up the hole as well as I could, said a prayer, and bolted up the stairs to pull him out of the hole. He was hanging there by his elbows. The scariest part? He wasn't really alarmed by this predicament. He giggled.
You see, there is a heating grate on his floor and he pulled it out and then put all his weight on the grate on the bottom which busted through. You see, I should have predicted he would have done that, knowing my son. There is now a very heavy (and low-to-the-floor) bookshelf atop the heating vent.
So, no, I don't have pictures of his legs dangling through the ceiling. But I will never forget the image.

I'm not sure crazy is the right word--curious, mischievous, determined, ingenious, fearless and determined are a few that come to mind. As for last night's antics, I am speechless.
I would normally say "Hang in there" but under the current circumstances I am reluctant to use the term. - March 17, 2009 at 1:31 PM

Maybe it wasn't an accident that I said "determined" twice. One cannot underestimate Reed's unstoppable determination. But I meant precocious the second time.

switches automatically to usb on startup 32PFL5008
Since I connected a usb memory stick in USB1 the TV automatically switches to the memory stick on start-up . I start the TV by pressing a tv channel number or by pressing the TV button. First I see the TV channel but shortly after the TV detects the USB en switches to the USB.
How can I changes this setting? The manual is blank on this subject.

Undergraduate Canadian citizens are eligible for an international award worth up to $12,000 U.S. Dollars per academic year.
All International students entering the United States as an F-1 or J-1 status, you must pay the SEVIS I-901 SEVIS Fee. This $200 fee must be paid before you can enter the United States. The fee can be paid to the DHS by mail or online. You must include the Form I-901 with the fee. The fee can be paid by the student or by someone else (family member or friend) inside or outside the US. This fee cannot be paid to Gannon University or port of entry/airport.
Canadian citizens are exempt from visa stamp requirements. Full-time Canadian students must, however, present a Certificate of Eligibility (I-20 or DS-2019) with their guarantee of financial support to the U.S. Immigration Officer at the port of entry.
You will be asked to complete an Arrival/Departure Record (I-94). The Immigration Inspectors will stamp the form, indicating the date and place of your entry and will indicate that you are admitted for "D/S" (Duration of Status).
If you hold an F-1 or J-1 visa, D/S means that you are permitted to stay in the U.S. as long as you are a full-time student pursuing a degree, but no later than the expected date of completion on your Form I-20 or DS-2019 plus any number of days granted as a grace period according to the terms of your student status.
Procedures exist to extend your Certificate of Eligibility if further time is required to complete your program. You should inquire about extension procedures as the date approaches.

Trip Start
Dec 12, 2009
Trip End
Jan 02, 2010
Since the activity was 15 feet above the ground, safety was important. I got some gear, training and an adult (my dad).
I went to four sites or tasks. Each task involved jumping off trees, walking on tight ropes and "flying" over water. It was a lot of fun. Please see the videos my mom took of this adventure.
Then, I did what most locals do, shop and eat. Later, I went to see some holiday lights. They were fancy. I think it is a tourist trap!

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — The Army has identified the soldier who barricaded herself in a building at a Virginia base and then fatally shot herself in the head.
Fort Lee officials on Wednesday say it was 33-year-old Sgt. 1st Class Paula M. Walker of Yonkers, New York. She was a human resources specialist.
Walker died Monday after barricading herself in an office inside the headquarters for the Army's Combined Arms Support Command and was throwing objects.
The base about 25 miles south of Richmond temporarily locked down.
About 1,100 people were inside the building as law enforcement officials tried to negotiate with her. No other injuries were reported.
Officials say Walker had been in the Army for 14 years and at Fort Lee since December 2011. Officials say her gun wasn't a service weapon.

The hotel room was large and tastefully decorated. The bed was very big and very comforable and had excelent wifi (room213).
The view. In the city centre. It is a very old hotel, I think from 1969, that has not been renovated at all in the exterior or the interior. Bathroom needs definitely renovation.
Walked around this interesting town and photographed. Excellent buffet breakfast. The inventory for the minibar claimed 10 items while there were only 8. I was not billed for the 2 missing items.
Helpful staff and nice swimming pool, nice breakfast buffet, and lovely view over the river.
Breakfast buffet was extensive, good location by the river, short walk to main square car park has no cover, car overheated. Balcony had no furniture, so we could not enjoy sitting outside (room had no chair that could have been used)
Very nice hotel, just on the Danube, very nice room and good breakfast! The tour of the Danube Delta was not as great as described...on the boat you don´t get any information about what you are seeing
The view on the promenade an the sunsets We arrived on a day with temperatures of 38 degrees celsius, and we foud out that there is air conditioning only in the rooms, not in the lobby, elevator or coridors.
Nice view from its restaurant. Good food with correct price. Little bit expensive. The air conditionning didn't work correctly..
Reasonable hotel in a useful location for boat trips into Delta, Good breakfast. The swimming pool was only open in the afternoon.
Large room, clean, free wi-fi, large parking lot (free and in front of the hotel), fair breakfast. Old building
Very big room with a magnificient view on the Danube!
In a good location on the water front at Tulcea. A typical modern business type hotel. The hotel has a restaurant which is convenient because there aren't that many in Tulcea. Staff organised a trip into the Delta with a small local company.
The place,the view from the room, it is in center,the staff were wonderful,they help me to rent a boat ,gave me some advises, they were great.the hotel clean an so the room. Not
Very nice rooms.
WOW a fantastic hotel great service, great dining room, lovely breakfast. The staff was extremely helpful and very competent.
a nice new hotel. by the river, near boats to hire for trips on the delta. near shops and a supermarket. very helpfully in reception.
This is a nice hotel with nice rooms and friendly staff. GPS coordinates (latitude) are: N45 10.843' E028 47.573' It is not worth its rate, as in Romania hotels are much cheaper. Also Tulcea is a port and there is nothing there to see. By the way, if you come to Tulcea to visit the Delta of Dunabe you will be disappointed. There are no boat tours into the channels and no roads in the Delta. Only few at the beginning, but you cannot see anything. The only way to visit is with a private boat which costs about 75 Euros for 3 hours. The normal boats go to the other cities on the Delta and leave at 13:30 and take about 4-5 hours. They come back the next day and depart at around 7:00.
I liked the location of the hotel, the friendliness of the staff, the restaurant which is absolutely delicious, with a great choice of food. Free internet is available. The soundproofing of the hotel is not adequate, you can listen to your neighbor's conversations and TV, which is totally unpleasant at midnight or at 7 a.m.
Quality of service. Food reasonable, but not overpriced. Do not sleep with windows open - mosquitoes (normal for its position on the Danube).
it is quite and pleasant . the room we got at the beginning was big but we had to change since the bed was not a double one nice view no curtains in the bath tab , the t.v is too small for that distance from the bad- in room 626 ? in the lobby-no cakes or fruits so we had to go to the other hotel ! the , at the reception you should give more accurate information about the sailing since many people come for the delta danube and it would be nice to explain the kinds of boats and sailing !!
location ,views from room were excelent room was huge and clean breakfast was very poor hotel staff dont speak english or other languages very well ie dont even understand the word tea basic
The location on the Danube with a beautiful view over the river. Staff was friendly and they served the breakfast even if it was 11:00 AM, long after official breakfast time was over.
The room, the location at the river and the friendly staff
This Hotel have a very good location facing the Delta.
Perfect view on the river. Nice rooms, friendly staff. The bed didn't have 4 stars like the hotel has. The room was perfect, the bed not. The most important thing in a hotel room is still the bed. So...
The view over the danube is fantastic, the rooms are very nice and the staff is friendly and helpful

This is your resource to discuss support topics with your peers, and learn from each other.
Our company has recently upgraded our server to Windows Server 2012 which run the Exchange Server 2013 to handle our email. This now changes our Outlook web access to Online Web App (OWA) instead of exchange access.
To send and receive emails from out blackberry we used our Outlook Web Access (exchange) however now that we've upgraded our server we can no longer send and receive emails without setting up a forwarding function. That is not a very good system as it won't sync emails properly.
When our IT support company phoned RIM they were not provided with any information on how to resolve this problem and/or when RIM will release an software update for the blackberry so that they are compitable with the new server.
If we don't receive a workable solution or answer soon we will be forced to switch over all our blackberry devices in the office to an Android device.
If anyone has any information or insite on this please let me know ASAP!
Hi and Welcome to the Community!
Just to set your expectation...this is a user-to-user community, so no one here can answer your question with any level of true authority whatsoever. Your IT folks actually have better "insider" channels into RIM, but I've always found that RIM will never release any forward looking information (e.g., to answer your "when" question) through any channels...just too much chance for issues to arise when they fail to deliver what they released early.
I've not noticed any posts with your specific situation...so it must be relatively new. It is a shame that this information was not discovered before the changeover happened...but there's really nothing to be done about it now (falling back would be equally painful).
Can they set up a POP or IMAP server as a temporary interface for you? That should work fine. Or, if you really want enhanced features on your BBs, you can investigate BES -- and BES-X (BES Express) is actually free!
Good luck!

I don't see how using an Android device will make it easier for your users to receive emails... unless you activate IMAP4 or POP3. And in this case, you can use your current BlackBerry fleet.
That being said, please read this past conversation, on the BES board.

SIX CALIFORNIAS: 'Reboot' would put Inland Empire in new state
Here's how California would be split up under billionaire investor Tim Draper's plan.
Jefferson (Population 949,909): Butte, Colusa, Del Norte, Glenn, Humboldt, Lake, Lassen, Mendocino, Modoc, Plumas, Siskiyou, Shasta, Tehama and Trinity counties.
North California (Population 3,820,438): Amador, El Dorado, Marin, Napa, Nevada, Placer, Sacramento, Sierra, Solano, Sonoma, Sutter, Yolo and Yuba counties.
Silicon Valley: (Population 6,828,617): Alameda, Contra Costa, San Benito, San Francisco, San Mateo, Santa Clara, Santa Cruz and Monterey counties.
Central California (Population 4,232,419): Alpine, Calaveras, Fresno, Inyo, Kern, Kings, Madera, Mariposa, Merced, Mono, San Joaquin, Stanislaus, Tulare and Tuolumne counties.
West California (Population 11,563,717): Santa Barbara, San Luis Obispo, Los Angeles and Ventura counties.
South California (Population 10,809,997): Imperial, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino and San Diego counties.
Imagine a state that rivals Ohio in population. The weather is great and it's not the poorest state around. But it's a challenge to find enough water, prison beds and tax revenue.
Many residents work out-of-state. But not before they pay tolls to drive on Highway 60 or Interstate 10.
That could be a scenario for South California, one of six new states proposed by a radical plan to split up the Golden State. The plan could go to the voters in 2016.
Silicon Valley venture capitalist Tim Draper reportedly spent $4.9 million on the "Six Californias" initiative. He has said 1.3 million voters signed petitions – roughly 807,000 signatures are needed – to get the plan on the ballot.
Breaking up California, the nation's most populous state, would create government that is closer to the people, Draper argues.
"California needs a reboot," Draper was quoted as saying. "Six Californias is our opportunity to solve the many problems we face today ... Six states that are more representative and accountable. Six states that embrace innovation and strive to improve the lives of residents."
Critics say Six Californias is poorly planned and would lead to stark inequality. Just discussing the concept hurts California's economy, said Steve Maviglio, a Sacramento-based Democratic strategist who is spokesman for a committee opposing Draper's plan.
"This is Exhibit A for what's wrong with the California initiative system," he said. "One person can write a check and put something on the ballot that's not been studied, tested or reviewed by any institution."
Six Californias calls for the state to become Silicon Valley, Jefferson, North California, Central California, West California and South California. Riverside and San Bernardino counties would form South California with Imperial, Orange and San Diego counties.
The plan faces long odds. A Field Poll conducted last year found that most California voters opposed letting northern counties form a new state.
Congress and the president would have to sign off even if voters approve the new states. A long, complicated list of questions – Who pays old California's debt? Where will state prisoners be held? How will water be shared? – would need answers, and the plan could be the focus of lawsuits.
To guide California's breakup, the ballot measure calls for a 24-member Board of Commissioners representing the six states-to-be. Counties would have a window to decide if they want to switch states, and the separation proposal must be sent to Congress by Jan. 1, 2018.
If it existed today, South California would have 10.8 million people, good enough for ninth in the nation, if you count West California's 11.56 million residents.
Latinos would account for four out of every 10 South California residents. They are a slight majority in San Bernardino County and almost half of Riverside County's population. Republicans would have a two percentage point edge in voter registration.

Hello how is it possible to convert a date in long format since 1 january 1970 to YYYY/MM/DD HH:MM:SS. Thank in advance, Nico
One of the constructors for the java.util.Date class is defined as: Date(long date) Allocates a Date object and initializes it to represent the specified number of milliseconds since the standard base time known as "the epoch", namely January 1, 1970, 00:00:00 GMT. (copied from the Java documentation). That sounds like it should work for the first half of your question. If you want to display a date in a particular format, you might start by looking at the documentation for class java.text.SimpleDateFormat.

You can use SimpleDateFormat class which is in java.text package. You can convert any format of date to what ever the way you want. Eg. import java.text.*; import java.util.*; public class Test { public static void main(String args[]) SimpleDateFormat fmt = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy/MM/DD HH:mm:ss"); String date = fmt.format(Calendar.getInstance().getTime()); System.out.println(date); } } "Nicolas" <firstname.lastname@example.com> wrote: > >Hello >how is it possible to convert a date in long format since 1 january 1970 >to YYYY/MM/DD HH:MM:SS. > > >Thank in advance, > >Nico

Speech by His Highness at the International Convocation of the Association of American Universities, Washington
Making a Difference: Reflections on Shared Problems, Shared Opportunities, and Shared Responsibilities in International Higher EducationSpeech by His Highness the Aga Khan at the International Convocation of the Association of American Universities, Washington,
April 22nd, 2001
Thank you President Vest for your very generous words of introduction and thank you all for the very warm welcome. It is an honour to be invited to address such a distinguished assemblage of educators. If IQ could be converted into kilowatts, I have no doubt that the quantum massed here tonight would meet the world's energy requirements for at least a decade.
In 1954 I came to the United States for the first time in my life and entered Harvard College as a first-year student. It was an experience that I will never forget. All of my formal education up to that point had been in French, and although I had studied English, my command of the language was not up to the demands of Harvard's curriculum. Fortunately there were several of us in the same position and we worked together to find French editions of as many of the assigned readings as possible. We wrote our papers in French, translated them into English, and waited in fear for our grades.
By a quirk of nature, although I was born right-handed, I had the good fortune to come into this world left-footed. Soccer players who could kick with their left foot were very rare in the United States in those days. This meant that I was able to make the freshman soccer team as the left wing. We were a distinguished group. We turned in an undefeated season and had the distinction of all being on a list in the Dean's office-not to be confused with the Dean's list-although we never troubled to explain that fine distinction very fully to our parents. To this day, I am convinced that I owe my Harvard degree to my left foot.I can tell you that I had many a sleepless night during that first year at Harvard, and when sleep came, it was often accompanied by a dream (nightmare might be more accurate). In it I was hauled up in front of a senior authority figure, thoroughly scolded about my performance, told that I was unfit to be a member of the Harvard community of scholars, and then sent back to my room to pack my bag to return home. Not knowing anything about the structure of educational institutions other than my boarding school in Switzerland, I always imagined that authority figure to be the head of the institution, or in the case of Harvard, its president. Memories of the fear I felt at having to face only one university president then, gave me little comfort as I prepared to face a room full of you here tonight.
As I turned my thoughts to what I might say on this occasion, that old fear took on a new form. How could I presume to have something to present on the subject of higher education that was worthy of the scholarship, experience, and responsibilities in higher education represented in this room? I am not trained as an academic, published as a scholar, or experienced as an educational administrator. While I am not sure that my comments will fulfil the programme committee's expectations, I have decided to draw on my experience working in social and economic development in parts of Asia and Africa over the last forty years.
A number of the issues about which I will speak are touched upon in the Task Force on Higher Education convened two years ago by The World Bank and UNESCO, which was co-chaired by Professor Henry Rosovsky who spoke to us so effectively this afternoon. I will illustrate and expand on them by drawing on the experience of the agencies that comprise the Aga Khan Development Network as they have worked in areas with high concentrations of the world's poor in Central and South Asia, and in Sub-Saharan Africa. The purpose is not to "toot our own horn", but to focus on specific problems and opportunities and to offer examples and lessons that can be drawn from our experience working in circumstances that are often very difficult due to the collapse of economies, political instability, and civil strife. I also hope to be able convince institutions in both the developing and the industrialised world to come together to work on some areas of common problems, opportunities, and responsibilities.
For those not familiar with our work, I would note that while the Aga Khan Development Network's activities are rooted in the worldwide Shia Ismaili Muslim Community, its programs and activities in each setting are open to all without regard to ethnicity, race, gender, or religion. As a matter of policy, none of the network's educational institutions offer instruction in religion unless required by the national curriculum.
Quality education at all levels is, and has been, critically important for all societies at all times. In the developing world, education offers the poor opportunities for new futures: women with higher status and new roles in their families and communities; migrants with an asset that is portable; and refugees with an asset that is both portable and secure. For these reasons, the Aga Khan Education Service has for many years operated several hundred schools in Eastern Africa and Central and South Asia -many in isolated settings, with a particular interest in the education of girls. I say this because the rest of my remarks this evening will focus on higher education, and I do not want to be understood, even by implication, as believing that primary and secondary school are of lesser significance. They are critical to the existence of an informed citizenry everywhere. Quality school-level education is particularly important in the developing world where only a small percentage of the population will ever be able to attend a university, and where population growth is massively more rapid than the expansion of capacity of its universities. Finally, the school system has a vital role to play in preparing those who do go on for further studies to make full use of that opportunity. It is the supply system for higher education and therefore cannot be neglected.
But higher education has a special importance because of the difference it can make by developing new models and standards for other institutions in society, and by inculcating in its students the skills of critical thinking, analysis, and problem solving, underpinned by a strong grasp of moral reasoning, ethics, and respect for others. While our world may be changing at a rate unprecedented in human history, it is not all positive. Negative changes are numerous, disrupting societies as evidenced by the violence that we see in so many parts of the world today. Positive change that is permanent requires strong institutions at all levels of society, and institutional development requires models and capable, enlightened leadership. The report of the Task Force on Higher Education makes a number of important observations and recommendations in its review of higher education in the developing world. Among the most important from my perspective are those that relate to higher education as a public good, and the re-evaluation of the public returns on investment in higher education. These findings support the task force's recommendation for greater investment in higher education in the developing world by governments, international development organisations, and private initiatives.
The questions most commonly asked when people learn that I am founding a new university are: "How many students will it have" and "when will the construction of buildings begin"? From my perspective the questions should be:
- "Given all the current problems in that country, and all the existing universities, why start another university?"
- "What will it teach?",
- "What are your expectations for the impact that the institution and graduates will have?", and finally,
- "How secure is its funding over time?"
I believe that institutions of higher education have greater prospects for success for their students and for the societies they serve when they focus on four factors: quality, relevance, impact, and resources. The decision to create the Aga Khan University (or AKU as we refer to it) as the first private university in Pakistan, more than twenty years ago, was taken in the context of the deteriorating quality of higher education in the developing world. As a private university, AKU would have to remain small, but to justify the investment required it would have to become a role model for a country of more than 120 million people. To assume and retain this status, AKU had to be a quality institution not only in terms of its academic offerings, but also in terms of admission and financial aid policies, governance, management, and its financial health. The attraction of board members of international standing in fields of education and development played a critical role in this quest.
Academic excellence was achieved through careful selection of faculty and the nurturing of partnerships with important institutions in the West, many of which are represented in this room -- Harvard, Johns Hopkins, McMaster, Toronto, Oxford, but also in Asia with the National University of Singapore.
But quality is not enough to justify the support of donors, society, and the authorities in a developing country; a university's offerings must also be relevant. Following a study carried out with the assistance of Harvard, AKU's Board decided to focus its initial efforts on addressing the very poor quality of social services in Pakistan and much of the developing world. Today, the Faculty of Health Sciences, including Nursing, and the Institute for Educational Development, are all having an impact beyond the training of students at high levels in their respective fields. They have given new status and recognition to women professionals who constitute an overwhelming majority of teachers and nurses in the region. The Medical College's Health Sciences Department has developed a pioneering model for treating the community as a patient rather than only the individuals who present themselves for care. A fifth of medical students' curriculum time is spent in the Community Health Sciences. Nursing students also take part in this activity, and obtain their learning experiences in the rural areas of the country.
The quality and impact of the University can be further gauged from the fact that over the last fifteen years, Pakistan's professional licensing body has recommended that all medical colleges in Pakistan adopt AKU's model of community-based medical education. Similarly, the Pakistan Nursing Council has adopted AKU's nursing curriculum. Research also has concentrated on those themes that are relevant and have outcomes that impact society. With respect to the University's Institute for Educational Development, more than half of all course participants come from government institutions. Here the Institute's impact is not only visible in the improvements in classrooms and management of government schools, but also in the government's major policy-making forums in which the Institute is invited to participate on a regular basis.
This is the kind of role that a small private university with strong international connections can play if it focuses on quality, relevance, and impact and seeks opportunities to share its experience and human resources with other institutions and society as a whole. Examples, models, and well-trained graduates can contribute to the improved performance of the vast number of schools, universities, health clinics, and hospitals that exist in countries like Pakistan but often are functioning at levels far below their potential, and which are necessary to meet the country's needs.
I would now like to shift to another area of great importance for higher education in the developing world. Here I refer to the rapid advances in communications and information technology of the last ten to fifteen years that have opened up the prospect of dramatically expanding international linkages and the reach of educational programmes in both spatial and temporal terms. This topic is on the agenda for tomorrow, and most appropriately so for an international gathering of educational leaders like this. It is true that the impact of communications and information technologies on the role, structure, and functioning of the university, as we have known it, are only beginning to emerge. But their development is important for universities everywhere in the world, even though applications may vary for some time to come.
The ability to project programmes and activities over great distances can bring educational opportunities and resources into settings where they are poorly developed at present, because of financial constraints or sheer isolation. Where individuals have access to computers in their homes or-as will be the case in rural areas in developing countries for some time to come-in community centres, technology can provide the first real opportunity for lifelong education on a broad scale. One lesson is clear. The mastery of the use of the essential elements of communication and information technologies will have to be part of the experience of every university student sooner rather than later. The use of the technology should have a place in the educational process itself, and its mastery should be on the list of competencies that every graduate should possess.
But this is only the first step. Even in the United States, the founder and leader in the development and application of information and communication technologies, the realisation of their potential for education is still at a very early stage. A few weeks ago, Lawrence Grossman, former president of NBC News and the Public Broadcasting Service, and Newton Minow, former chairman of the Federal Communications Commission and PBS, made this point in their op-ed piece entitled "The U.S. Should Invest in a Digital Library" that appeared in the International Herald Tribune. They introduce the recommendation in the article's title by observing that "...the Internet and digital communication are being largely wasted in America as a resource for the kind of broad education the future demands. . . Entertainment of marginal quality dominates commercial attempts on the Internet to reach a mass audience," while at the same time "the treasures in U.S. libraries, schools, and museums are locked away for want of money to make them available to the full American audience."
I have quoted this article at some length not to advocate Grossman's and Minow's solution-although I think it makes great sense for the United States and would also be a priceless gift to the rest of the world and the cause of world peace. I do so because it so clearly and authoritatively makes the case for concrete and imaginative steps that may lead to a fuller utilisation of the Internet for educational purposes. It is not a question of a single cosmic solution, but rather a wide range of initiatives. The Internet was created at an international research institute in Switzerland as a means to make data and findings readily available without cost to scientists around the world. Institutions of higher education have a responsibility to participate in the process of developing and shaping the use of the Internet for educational purposes in their societies and around the world.
At a seminar entitled "Architectural Education Today" held in Switzerland two weeks ago, William Mitchell, Dean of the School of Planning and Architecture at Massachusetts Institute of Technology and an authority on the use of the Internet for a wide range of purposes, offered a succinct summary of some of the advantages and disadvantages of the use of the Internet for remote education. He stated that the debate that focuses on conventional versus remote education is wrongly formulated. The issues are their relative advantages and disadvantages-including effectiveness and cost-and their complementary use.
Remote education is disadvantaged because it does not offer the value-added that comes with proximity to the instructor and the cross-fertilisation with other students in the classroom or studio. Because users need facilities and training to draw on remote education, and shape it to their needs, it carries high overheads, particularly at the outset. On the positive side, remote education has the advantages of scale. It dramatically increases the reach to scattered rural communities-which still represent the vast majority of the developing world's population-it adds the possibility of bringing imported expertise into remote and isolated contexts; it creates opportunities for cross-cultural experiences; and it makes possible the broad collaboration of specialists in scattered locations. Dean Mitchell contends that such efforts can reap the benefits of what he calls "educationally mediated globalisation," which respects and incorporates intellectual diversity and cultural pluralism.
Examples are more meaningful than these generalisations. I will offer two rather different case studies of efforts by agencies of the Aga Khan Development Network to make more effective use of the Internet for educational purposes.
The first is a project to develop a World Wide Web-based resource to enrich the information available for architectural students, teachers, scholars, and professionals interested in architecture in the Islamic world. It builds on twenty-five years of cultural research, education, and revitalisation by the Aga Khan Programme for Islamic Architecture at Harvard and MIT, and the programmes of what is now the Aga Khan Trust for Culture in Geneva.
These initiatives were launched following a series of consultations with architectural scholars and professionals of all faiths and from different parts of the world who were brought together to address a black hole in Islamic societies with respect to one of the most important dimensions of their identity and heritage: their built environment. At that time there was a real vacuum. There was little scholarship, no centres for study and professional training, and no collections of visual and textual resources on one of history's greatest traditions of architecture. The dominant perspective was that improvements in the quality of life demanded the adoption of the symbolism and style of countries and societies that were considered "advanced." Twenty-five years later a complete turn-around has been achieved. Not only have patrons and professionals come to understand and embrace this important form of cultural expression, the inventories of buildings found in different countries have revealed and legitimated a diversity of expression of which even the Islamic world itself was unaware.
The emergence of the World Wide Web as a vehicle allows these efforts in public and professional education of the last twenty-five years to take on an entirely new scale. The project, called ArchNet, is being developed at MIT and is scheduled for launch in September. It will bring together and make available the visual and textual information amassed in collections in Cambridge and Geneva. Though microscopic in comparison, it is an example of just the kind of digitalisation of inaccessible material for which Grossman and Minow are arguing.
But the example does not stop here. It is not enough to simply "dump" information into communities around the world, even if, as in this case, they are communities of trained professionals. As an integral part of the ArchNet project, space on the website has been provided for users to exhibit their own work, to communicate with other ArchNet members, to participate in informal discussions of topics of their choice that are relevant to the overall purpose of the project, and to participate in organised discussions, including collaborative design studios. Equally important, schools and departments of architecture with interests in the Islamic world can establish sections on the website to present their programmes, activities, and collections of visual and textual materials. In ArchNet's development phase, institutions from Malaysia, India, Pakistan, Turkey, Lebanon, Egypt, and Jordan were invited to help establish this dimension of the website. Once it is officially open, other institutions may join as well. A special effort will be made to bring in schools of architecture in Central Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa.
My second example relates to the new University of Central Asia. Last summer, I signed an international treaty for the foundation of the university on behalf of the Ismaili Imamat with the presidents of Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, and Kazakhstan. The university is dedicated to addressing the problems of poverty, underdevelopment, and environmental degradation in the vast and largely forgotten mountain zone of Inner Asia. By doing so, I believe it will make a significant contribution to the establishment of peace and stability in the region by addressing some of the most important problems that currently plague it: poverty, isolation, and a deep sense of hopelessness.
The University of Central Asia will provide training and research on the problems and prospects of the mountainous areas of Central Asia and the twenty to thirty million people who inhabit them. The new institution, which will begin by offering continuing education courses this year, will be private and secular; will recruit students and faculty on the basis of merit; and will be open equally to men and women. Its main campus will be based in southeastern Tajikistan, in the town of Khorog on the Panj River, which serves as the international boundary between Tajikistan and Afghanistan. Satellite campuses will be opened in mountain settings in Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan, and in other countries in the region that decide to join the university in the years ahead.
Given the university's locations and mission, it has no option but to make an aggressive use of the latest developments in information and communications technologies. This is particularly true for its degree programmes, which will start with a master's degree in integrated mountain studies in three years, and a bachelor's degree soon thereafter. These programmes will be taught in English, and will draw heavily on databases and human resources specialised in mountain studies, to supplement the locally recruited and specially trained instructional staff. While most of you may not know it, there is a small, dedicated, but widely scattered group of specialists around the world committed to the study of mountains and mountain populations - self identified as the "mountain mafia." Their experience and knowledge will provide the kind of remote resource that can be imported, and their interaction with students and faculty-during summer visits and throughout the year on a rotating basis-will lay the foundation for the kind of "mediated cross cultural dialogue" that Dean Mitchell envisions.
There is one last topic about which I would like to say a few words. Building capacity for moral reasoning and moral judgement is a goal that appears in the foundation documents of many of the world's oldest and most prestigious universities. For a number of reasons, I worry that insufficient attention is being paid to the development of these important capabilities and that the situation may worsen in the years ahead.
The advances that have occurred in the sciences-most recently in the biological sciences, and the engineering that underlies computer and information technologies-are important for economic development and attractive to students and scholars. I applaud these developments, but worry that they will crowd out parts of the curriculum devoted to the study of the great humanistic traditions that have evolved in all civilisations throughout human history. Exposure to these traditions contributes to the formation of values, as well as an understanding of the richness and diversity of human experience. The complexities of world problems and societies today require people educated in broad humanistic traditions in addition to the guidance and direction provided by the teaching of their religion. The history of the twentieth century is replete with examples of the danger of the systematic propagation and uncritical acceptance of dogmas, ideologies, and even theologies. More than ever, I believe that universities must shoulder the responsibility for contributing to the process of building the capacity for moral judgement in complex settings. This is another area where the leading universities of the world can individually and collectively respond to a shared opportunity and a shared responsibility.
I will close by returning briefly to some basic themes. Higher education in the developing world operates under enormous pressures for which there are no simple solutions. Private institutions can make a contribution through experimentation and, where successful, as models. Linkages between institutions are critical to this process, particularly international linkages.
The identification of new sources of finance for higher education has to be a high priority. National governments in the developing world are hard-pressed to meet existing education budgets, not to mention the additional funding required for expansion to accommodate growing populations, deal with a backlog of problems, and introduce new programmes. International agencies, public and private, will help, but only within limits. The identification of private sector funding is essential, as is the creation of an environment of regulations and benefits that encourages private companies to support institutions of higher education.
It has been said that the Internet is the most important development for education since the invention of the printing press. But for now, it is grossly underused for educational purposes. Universities around the world should take on the task of developing educational materials, resources, and programmes for the Internet. They should add their voices to critics of regulations and policies that impinge on the use of the World Wide Web for educational purposes in favour of commercial interests.
Let us remember the historic role of "The University" in the study, interpretation, and transmission of the great humanistic traditions of the world. Our search for global peace in an inter-connected, crowded world with rising expectations, needs to understand and internalise these many lessons more than at any time in the past.
Thank you.

Megan Fox Post Baby Body (Photos) Drops Pregnancy Weight
Megan Fox shows off her post baby body below - the beautiful US actress has dropped a bunch of her pregnancy pounds and looked slim and fit at the March of Dimes celebration of babies luncheon, held at Beverly Hills Hotel this week.
See more photos below of Megan in the gallery from the event.
Megan is still worried about her body though and really concerned her son will be "horrified" when he sees her old bikini shoots.
The 26-year-old actress gave birth to Noah – her first child with husband Brian Austin Green – in September and revealed becoming a mother has changed her approach to her work because she is mindful of how it could affect him when he is older.
She explained to the Daily Mirror newspaper: "It changes your perspective about being overly sexual in a film when you have a baby. I'm going to be more cautious about choosing film because I'm already thinking about when he's in school and his friends are going to be showing him my photo shoots with me in a bikini and he's going to be horrified. So that will deter me from making some of the choices I made before"

Megan isn't completely back to her pre-pregnancy weight but admitted she can't tear herself away from Noah to exercise.
The 'This Is 40' star added: "I only gained 23 pounds when I was pregnant and I'm still 10 pounds heavier, but I don't want to kill myself trying to get back into shape because it's not a priority right now. I'm too in love with Noah and I don't want to be away from him. I just want to be home."

You'll know exactly where he or she is whenever you want. It's LoJack for people.AdvertisementThe watch can also act as an electronic leash, if the watch moves more than 10 feet away from a paired phone, you'll get a text message alerting you. Even better, the watch can be programmed to notify you when the watch wearer enters or leaves a certain area. I can see the lightbulbs going off in the heads of parents across the world already, "You mean, I'll actually know where my little miss Sally is going at night?"The ruse to sell your kids or your girlfriend or your crush on this creepy watch is that the watch also has phone capabilities (hopefully they won't notice those peering eyes on the face of the watch). Yeah, you see the numbers around the ring of the bezel? That isn't for time, it's actually a dial to make phone calls. The watch can connect to Bluetooth, be programmed with 4 quick favorites, send SOS calls and be programmed to bar certain phone numbers. It's basically the electronic handcuff parents have dreamed of. $80 [Chinavasion via Red Ferret]

Well, the question is difficult to answer on a forum like this. For instance, I can say that in my view point, all DAC's including any modern computer line out are virtually indistinguishable from one-another when loaded with the high impedance of an amplifier input stage. I can also point out that double blind tests have been conducted which back up this claim.
Of course, at the end of the day, you'll still get a barrage of people saying I'm insane, I don't have good enough gear to hear the difference, I'm not listening right, my ears suck, I don't want to hear a difference, etc... And of course, double blind tests are irrelevant.
The prevailing opinion is that indeed DAC's make a huge difference especially with electrostats.
So ultimately, you must make your own decision on what tests you want to do to figure out what will sound good, and how you personally choose to define "sounds better".
Wholeheartedly agree.

Daisy Fuentes didn't enter my life until I came to the U.S. For those of us who loved MTV in the 1990s, Daisy Fuentes is a familiar face, and I arrived here in 1996. I remember that after knowing about her I was mesmerized by her beauty, yet I thought she didn't look very Latina. I guess I was running a stereotypical figure of us in my mind.
This beautiful Cuban-American television hostess and model has many achievements under her belt that we can look up to as part of the Hispanic community. Daisy definitely knows how to work her Latina roots!
Early Life
Daisy Fuentes' biography begins in 1966, when her Cuban father and Spanish mother welcomed her into the world in Havana, Cuba.
Rough times ahead for this Cubanita because the 60s were a tumultuous time in Cuba to say the least, and by the time little Daisy turned three the Fuentes family relocated to Madrid, Spain.
While living in Spain, Fuentes taught herself English by watching old episodes of I Love Lucy. This skill came in handy, as the family soon moved once again, this time to Harrison, New Jersey.
She proudly sees herself as a real Jersey girl who embraced the toughness of growing up in Jersey, including the cursing.
Her high school class voted her homecoming queen and "best looking" during her senior year in 1984, and Daisy also began modeling during this time.
She studied cosmetology and communications in school, and soon a New York Telemundo affiliate hired her as their weather girl, officially launching her career in entertainment.
Career Highlights in Daisy Fuentes' Biography
In 1988 Daisy became the host of MTV International, an accomplishment that definitely served as an important highlight in her career. This paved the way for her to join the mainstream MTV crew in 1993.
Thanks to the exposure and fame she achieved on MTV, Daisy Fuentes went on to appear in several TV shows, as both an actress and as a hostess. She even had her own talk show, called "Daisy," from 1994-1995. Hosting America's Funniest Home Videos from 1998-1999 made even more Americans fall in love with Daisy Fuentes.
Daisy's modeling career included appearances on national TV in ads for Revlon, Pantene, American Express, M&Ms, and other well-known brands.
Today Daisy focuses less on appearing on TV and more on her other projects, which include a clothing line, an all-natural hair care line, and an eye-wear line designed especially for Latinas.
She is apparently a savvy business woman and experts estimate that Fuentes sells more than $300 million worth of products each year through her partnership with Kohl's department stores.
Working Her Latina Roots
Daisy Fuentes' biography features many important landmark achievements for Latinas and also shows a clear commitment to supporting Hispanic organizations and events. For example:
- · In 1993 Daisy became the first Latina VJ ever on MTV
- · The 3-page cover of People en Español's 50 most beautiful women issue featured Fuentes in 1995
- · Daisy hosted the 1998 ALMA Award and the 1999 Billboard Latin Awards
- · Fuentes serves as the celebrity chairman for the annual St. Jude Angeles & Stars gala in Miami
- · Daisy currently appears as a co-presenter on La Voz Kids on Telemundo.
Daisy honestly recognizes her great abilities as a totally bilingual woman who speaks English and Spanish equally well. That is something you don't see very day because bilinguals give preference to one language in most cases.
This Jersey girl who claims money has never been her driving force, according to hudsonmod.com, confessed becoming wealthy was a totally organic process that took time. She gives value to wealth because it allows her to do things with her family without worrying about anything else but creating memories that last forever.

Thread: Coral feeding schedule
Coral feeding schedule
Being there are so many types of coral for our reef tanks and some need certain foods while others need something different, I have the following coral food.
Fuel for reefs by aquavitro which I put in my sump weekly for my waving hand and green star polyp coral.
Ultra LPS by fauna marin for my plate, button, and candy cane coral weekly. Just have to keep the shrimp and hermits away. The anemone also seems to like this food.
Reef-roids by polyp lab for my leathers, Kenya tree, zoanthids, and small polyp like heads growing out of my live rock which I haven't identified yet. I feed this every two weeks with a syringe with the powerheads and pumps off.
Just curious to what others are feeding and their schedule. I've notice the Reef-roids are really working on the zoa's.Warning; Bulldog Pleco guarding my Sons tank now..
Please remember; every keystroke has a consequence.
0I feed about once every two weeks using the below products. My zoa and pink star polyps seam to really do well when I use it. When I had LPS, they got weekly feedings of coral pellet foods or myisis shrimp

The Western Lake Erie Region of the American Red Cross today issued a statement saying the storm has caused numerous blood drives to be canceled in Michigan and Ohio, resulting in a shortage of about 2,000 expected donations.
The storm resulted in the first cancelations of blood drives Wednesday in more than 10 years. Twenty-three area hospitals have been asked to postpone their orders unless faced with an emergency. Blood drives, as well as collections at the West Toledo donor center at 3510 Executive Parkway, resumed today.
