The sharpest tool for the shred, the K2 Joy Driver is the brainchild of K2 pro Lucas DeBari. This deck uses Inked Glass™ – a breakthrough in graphic processing that's years in the making and shaves 10% off the entire board weight. The Joy Driver's Bambooyah™ core is so durable we've slapped a 5-year warranty on it, and the construction is dialed to deliver both the versatility of all-terrain rocker with the liveliness of traditional camber in one final, top-standard quality!
key features and construction tech......
Camber profile – Camber - K2 pioneered the rocker revolution back in 2005 with the reintroduction of the Gyrator and it's Powder Rocker Baseline. Since then the Baseline offering has grown but remained consistent and easy to understand. Helping to cut through the Rocker confusion and allowing consumers to quickly understand its benefits and select the right profile for how and where they ride. Baseline is the line the steel edge makes on the bottom of the board and can be made up of Rocker, Camber, Flat or any combination of these. We offer four different Baselines each tailored to a different type of snowboarding. From the responsive and poppy feel of Precision all the way to rockered AT profile, there is a Baseline that perfectly matches your individual snow sliding style. Sometimes nothing can replace the lively and classic feel of traditional camber. By adding the classic arc geometry to our rocker oriented Baseline you get the best of both worlds. With predictiblepop and a precise edge initiation and hold, camber finds a new home within our proven Baseline design philosophy.
Base Ø SINTERED • Ultra thin, static eliminating base • Lightweight, lower material usage • Highest quality sintered available anywhere
The WH4 Core pulls every trick from our bag of core tech. With a greater percentage of HONEYKOMB than the WH3 Core, it's engineered to maintain durability at minimal weight.
Inkglass - A breakthrough in graphic processing that was years in the making, Inked Glass is the lightest way to get top quality graphic on a snowboard. Setup basically like an iron-on transer, this process fuses the graphic inks right into the fiberglass in one seamless step that removes the need for a heavy plastic topsheet.
SKATE INSPIRED INDISTRUCTABILITY BambooyahTM cores are skate style horizontally laminated bamboo cores that we challenge any rider to try and break. Offered in two levels of industrial shred- grade strength: Bambooyah with its 5 year limited warranty and Bambooyah Blend with 2 years of coverage.
|Intermediate, Advanced, Expert
|Camber shape
|Cam Rock
|Riding styles
|All mountain, Park & Pipe, Powder
|Snowboard Width

A Message from the Board
It is now almost 20 years since the introduction of Tomorrow Schools and the first Board of Trustees was appointed to Hampden Street School. Over this time lots of parents and whanau have worked to help develop and move the school forward by being involved in things like fundraising, supporting our school camps, attending school assembly's, helping out at sports events etc. We all play a part.
Working as a member of the Board of Trustees is another way in which parents can help to shape the future of our school and prepare our children for the challenges that lay ahead.
As a board we are first and foremost accountable for student achievement. Our children's growth and learning is the centre of all that we do. We aim to look 'upwards and outwards' and to set the direction that we, on behalf of the parents and community, want to see the school take. Words like; resilience, diversity, creativity, honesty, participation, responsibility, fairness, achievement, and respect will continue to drive this direction.
We want to ensure that all our children succeed. As a board our part in this is to ensure the strategy is right, that we have clear goals and expectations and that we monitor performance. This year we have worked hard as a team to revise our school charter and strengthen our efforts in six key areas:
- Strengthening the partnership between school and home
- Targeting improved student literacy
- Promoting and developing the school within the wider community
- Raising Maori cultural awareness
- Boosting our Information Technology strategy
- Establishing a physical activity culture within the school
This is very rewarding work and of course involves all of us in doing a lot of 'cool and fun stuff' along the way. Nothing beats seeing our children doing well and simply enjoying the experience of inspired and inquisitive learning.

I haven't made any substantial jewelry since November (I've been focused on classes since then).
I'm feeling rusty. Here are a few things I've (finally) finished this month that are worth sharing:
Chunky, clanky, assymetrical necklace. It has a quartz clasp. I really love non-metallic clasps.
This one could theoretically be worn 2 ways, though I like the drop in the front. I believe the drop is serpentine. I've had it so long that I can't remember. The toggle clasp on the side miiight be too small visually (I'm undesided), but it does the job.
I made a few pair of earrings, but these were my favorite of the group. Dyed magnesite with some hill tribe silver. Simple, but unique.

Speed work...it kills, but in a good way. Last night I added some speed work to my run. This is the first time I had tried doing speed work and it was an interesting experience.
I am not fast, and I don't pretend to be. As I said in my race recap, I was super excited to finish the Monument 10K with an average pace of just under 11:30. I may never be truly fast, but I would like to get faster. It was not that long ago that it took everything I had to keep a 13 minute mile pace.
I know that to be fast, you have to train fast and I finally feel confident enough in my running to bring some speed work into my training. I had originally planned on starting doing speed work last week, but since I was sick and having a hard time breathing it was probably not the smartest thing to try.
For my first time really focusing on picking up the pace, I decided doing short, fast sprints was the way to go. After running a mile warm-up at a comfortable pace, I did 15-.10 mile sprints with 1 minute of recovery. The first 14 went really well, then I got a cramp in my side on the last one. I was aiming for anything under about 9:30 per mile, and was faster than that for all but the last one. For my first time playing with speed work, I'll take it.
Today I am sore, but in a good way. I know I worked hard and I haven't been sore from running in a while. I spent some quality time with my foam roller tonight.
Right now my goal is to incorporate one speed workout a week. I am liking the short sprints, but thinking that I may try some slightly longer distances in the upcoming weeks. Build up my speed over slightly longer distances. What are your favorite speed workouts?

Your memory foam mattress is ensured for twenty years that is fantastic. That doesn't imply you never ever need to do something to maintain your mattress in great situation.
Let it breathe: Following the shipment of your leading rated mattresses, the first thing, you need to do is get rid of all covering. Let it breathe so any caught gases can get away and consider undesirable smells with it.
Put together the Construction: The construction is important to the sturdiness of your mattress. Your bed frame should be tough, with center supports so each square inch of the mattress is securely supported. That will steer clear of drooping and maintain the mattress comfy for a lot of years.
Maintain each mattress and construction clean: You can vacuum your mattress and the construction. You can clean it however don't soak your mattress or box spring. They will hold the moisture completely. The "vacuum cleaner" so useful for carpeting's is not for mattress. The suction perform will never ever withdraw all of the wetness.
Steer clear of discolorations and grime: You don't have tension more than cleaning areas and discolorations in the event you put together your mattress appropriately and it is nicely well worth the small bit of price. Purchase a covering mattress cover that is water proof and hypoallergenic. These are a real bear to place on however well worth the work. All you will need to do now is periodically wet clean the cover. For integrated safety and your own comfort, make use of a well-crafted mattress pad that is washable.

Flip the mattress: We made to flip our mattress more than and flip them finish to finish to disperse put on. The tends to make began selling one-sided mattress. You have to spend more in the event you received a two-sided mattress. The practice to me stank. You can nonetheless flip it finish to finish periodically to disperse the put on. Try out thebest-mattress if you want to know more about mattresses.
Don't get rid of the tag: Your brand-new mattress may have a tag with needed particulars for service guarantee claims. Linked to the bed is the best place to maintain it so depart it there. Your service guarantee may not stand without it. The care tag is usually linked using the service guarantee tag. Take a look at the care tag. There is information on it you have to understand.
Do your component to consider care of your memory foam mattress and it will not only last for Twenty Years it will look fantastic performing it.

For a show that's supposedly about the journey to find true love, The Bachelor can get kind of uncomfortable to watch. Last night's show brought viewers the first round of dates, but the episode was far from romantic. In fact, it left me feeling a little uneasy about what these women are willing to go through for the attention of a man. Let's count down the three most embarrassing and cringe-worthy moments and see who made it through.
3. After both Clare and Kat got solo dates with El Bachelor Juan Pablo, it was time for a group date. The "fun" activity was a photo shoot for Models N Mutts, an organization that raises money for animal adoption by having hot women pose with dogs or something. Each contestant was paired up with an adorable shelter dog and then had a themed photo session with the pup and Juan Pablo. Some wore bikinis, some wore pretty dresses, and then some…wore other stuff. Not sure why Chelsie and Kelly were chosen to look completely ridiculous, but I guess it's for a good cause. I just hate when this show forces women to prove they are "good sports" (which basically means "not uptight") and "willing to play along" (which basically means "do whatever it takes to keep dating him"). It's really demeaning, no matter what the cause. Then again, with "dog lover" being Kelly's only listed profession, I guess she had it coming. She got the date rose, by the way.
2. I'm not really sure what is happening in the photo above, but that wasn't the worst part of this photo shoot. Some of the contestants were chosen to pose nude, with just small signs strategically placed to hide their naughty bits. Now, it seemed like the nude photos were chosen randomly, but it definitely felt like a way for production to stir the pot. The two contestants picked to bare it all were Andi and Elise – an Assistant District Attorney and first grade teacher, respectively. Hmmm. Considering those are two jobs where you could most certainly be fired for appearing nude – yes, even for charity – it seems kind of suspicious to me. And gross. Like, why do these women have to jeopardize their careers to prove that they're "cool enough" to "play along"? I give props to Elise, who sneakily switched places with free spirit Lucy and got out of it altogether, but honestly. Why did she have to sneak? Why did Andi, a seemingly intelligent and professional woman, agree to do it? Why couldn't they just tell Juan Pablo that they were seriously concerned about their job security. If a man is supposed to be marriage material, you'd think he'd encourage them to do whatever felt comfortable. But he sat there and convinced Andi to do it. Gross. I guess apparently they weren't fully naked after all, but still. The whole thing left a bad taste in my mouth.
1. By far the most cringe-worthy part of last night's Bachelor was Victoria's drunken meltdown. For most of the group date, she seemed fine, but I guess while waiting for some one-on-one time with Juan Pablo, sister had one too many glasses of champagne. Because wow. Wow. Talk about drunk. Victoria was giving Katie a run for her money. Let's see, she danced alone drunkenly in the hot tub. She slurred her way through an interview, giving great sound bites like, "If Juan Pablo just so happens to be mine, I'm gonna straddle him every day. 'Cause that's what life is about…straddling people…and things" and "I gave him the hymen maneuver. I saved his life. I should totally get a rose for that…If you do the hymen maneuver and somebody's like, lying down and dying, you're gonna have to straddle them." Yes, she said hymen maneuver. Twice. Yes, she meant Heimlich maneuver, but she actually meant mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. Good lord. Then she went to look for Juan Pablo, found him talking to another girl, and locked herself in the bathroom hysterically crying. After several people, including JP himself, tried to talk her down from the ledge, she demanded to go home. They shoved her in a cab and sent her to a hotel instead. The next day, Juan Pablo sent her packing because she wasn't a good role model for his daughter, unlike the rest of the women who are willing to participate in this sh*tshow. Ugh. You can watch the entire mess below and see for yourself.
In the end, the forgettable Amy L and Chantal were left without roses. But hey, at least they didn't go out like Victoria, who will forever be known as the Sloppy Drunken Meltdown Girl. What do you think – was Juan Pablo too hard on Victoria? Should Andi have backed out of the photo shoot? What exactly was Kelly supposed to be, a dog alien? Let me know in the comments!

Testament's Eric Peterson Joins Celtic Singer LeahTestament/Dragonlord's Eric Peterson has just entered a new realm, combining brutal death vocals and dramatic singing with Celtic-metal vocalist/composer LEAH on her new track 'Dreamland'. The track is cut from LEAH's new EP Otherworld, dropping today! The EP is available now via iTunes, Spotify, Amazon MP3, Google Play, Rdio and several other digital retailers. Take a listen to 'Dreamland' now at LEAH's official Bandcamp page.
The cinematic character vocals from Eric Peterson on 'Dreamland', a beautiful, symphonic progressive track with a fantasy twist, leave the listener electrified in his wake with "...an echo's breath, a romance death!"
"It was a real treat to have Eric's unique vocals on this track," states LEAH. "My original demo went from having a mellow, Clannad-type feel to now almost dancing on the line of black-metal. I hope this is the first of many collaborations to come!"
"I've known LEAH for about 12 years, we've been friends since 2001. I jammed with her about eight years ago in Vancouver, and at the time it didn't work out because I was busy with Testament and Dragonlord, but we stayed in contact," adds Eric Peterson. "This time around, LEAH contacted me to play on her new record and I thought she wanted me to play guitar. But when she told me she wanted me to sing, I was honored because LEAH is the kind of person that will sing right in the middle of a store and sound amazing, she's that kind of vocalist. She sent me the song and right away I knew exactly what I needed to do. She took my pattern, wrote some lyrics for me, we went into the studio and it was done! It was the easiest thing I've ever done. It's really great to finally be able to work together with LEAH and put out this great track. I can hear this song in a movie! A couple of people I've let hear thought it was the soundtrack to the new Snow White movie! Ha!"
Eric Peterson is currently recording the new Dragonlord record and can reveal that LEAH will be joining him on a track similar to 'Dreamland', and will also be lending her angelic voice for the choir vocals on the record.

Porter: Your Fifteenth Week
Thursday, April 11, 2013
I have a bone to pick with you.
You're only fifteen weeks old, and you've now decided to go to bed without being rocked to sleep. You actually squirm and twist and pick up your head and stare at me, whimpering. One night, I was so confused... I didn't know what in the world you wanted?... so I just laid you down in your crib so I could run to the living room to grab your paci. When I did, you snuggled up and closed your eyes, drifting onto sleep within seconds.
Excuse me. What?
I thought it was just a fluke, but it began happening for nap times, too. You just decide when it's time to go to bed, and you put yourself to bed.
I'm not ok with it, but I'm dealing. I make myself an extra cup of coffee, or go wash my face, or change loads of laundry... stuff I normally put off or forget to do. Look what you've done... you've made me productive. Ugh.
One of my favorite things that you do, when you're nursing, is you rub your feet on my arm. It's the sweetest thing ever, and I don't even like feet. Yours are different though. They're pudgy and sometimes clammy, but they are the cutest things I've ever seen. You kick your feet as you eat, find my arm with your foot and push on it, slap your foot against the crook of my elbow. It literally melts me.
You're a chewing MACHINE. Can't get your hands out of your mouth, starting this week, haha. Teething? Maybe... or you've just discovered that you have five built in pacis per hand. You're kind of over your actual pacis now, ha.
You love watching Lennon now, too. You didn't care much about him for the first fifteen weeks. But, now, though... you are pretty awestruck over this pup. I can't wait until you're chasing him around, yanking on his ears, sitting on top of him, etc. He's so good to you, too. You two are destined to be great buddies.

*Translator's Note: This blog post has been translated from its original chocobo language.
My name is Fat Chocobo.
But my friends call me Fat Chocobo.
You, too, can call me Fat Chocobo.
I can usually be found lounging in the shade somewhere, relaxing. I do a lot of relaxing. I don't really like to move around, if I can help it.
However, when it comes to food, I'll make the effort.
Look, I just really, really enjoy food, okay? If I have to, I'll work for it.
Lately, adventurers have been riding me around, using me to get from point A to point B in Eorzea. Apparently, they purchased the FFXIV: A Realm Reborn PlayStation 4 version's Collector's Edition...
You can pre-order your very own PlayStation 4 Collector's Edition, too. I mean, if you really feel the need. Speed not guaranteed, though.
Also, apparently, owners of either the PC or PS3 Collector's Edition will also receive the new in-game bonus items. Great, more people putting me to wark.
I better rest up while I can.

Wow what a turn on she nose how to make a cock Real hard
Voluptuous Holiday 2004
Brazilian boob-bomb Luma says her favorite author is Paulo Coelho, a Brazilian writer who shot to international mega-success with a series of semi-mystical books, among them The Alchemist and The Manual of the Warrior of Light. She likes to read his books on the beach when she has a day off from working as a tour guide in Rio. We don't know if Senor Coelho is a boob-man but we're sure he'd be pleased to know Luma has his books close to her bikini-top on the beach and close to her lacey, negligee-covered bosom at bedtime. V-Mag should be your personal choice of reading material on the beach. And if anyone kicks sand in your face, Luma will come over and punch his lights out. This photo session is Luma's third pictorial. Enjoy.

As of this writing, four remain in the WCOOP Main Event. Ongame Network closing its doors. Skill-based video game gambling coming to Atlantic City casinos. And more.
WCOOP Main Final Table Underway
The final nine players in the World Championship of Online Poker Main Event resumed play at 2 PM EST today, two and a half hours ago. In that time, the field has already been cut in half. The final four are all screen names likely to be known to high-stakes regulars, but whose real life identities are either secret or not as well-known.
Chip leader at the time of writing is llJaYJaYll, an MTT regular from Germany whose biggest recent wins have been in large-field turbos
The other three players are virtually tied with around 20 million chips apiece. These are two Brits, "0409479" "R_Scientist," plus the Austrian "Gambler4444." Play has been halted twice to negotiate a deal so far, but llJayJayll is not willing to accept one without being given additional money, while no one else is willing to give it up.
Those who've already fallen at the final table are as follows:
5th – axtipitos_86 ($420,888.94)
6th – Olorionek ($305,439.66)
7th – uknowProsky* ($221,656.95)
8th – gorodski ($160,856.12)
9th – deadfizh ($116,733.03)
Game Over for Ongame
Ongame was a major network back in the early boom years of poker, but has been on the decline for ten years now, and more sharply in the past five. The network's fate was likely sealed in 2011 when then-owner Bwin merged with PartyPoker; two years later, Ongame was sold to Amaya, and Bwin pulled its skins off the network and moved them over to Party's, leaving not much behind. That caused a near-instantaneous loss of 80% of the network's traffic, which then continued to decline steadily, finally dipping into double-digit daily averages this year.
It's no surprise, then, that the network is now going to be throwing in the towel for good. It's a stark reminder of how volatile the poker industry can be, that a top-ten provider during good times can come to be seen as a liability just five years later, and disappear entirely five years after that.
Quick Hitters
– Daniel Negreanu and Vanessa Selbst are playing a charity tournament today, for the Urban Justice Centre (UJC), a venerable New York initiative, and one on whose board Selbst currently serves.
– Video game gambling is coming to Atlantic City, with the first-to-market being a company called GameCo. The games are said to be skill-based – the first will be a first-person shooter called Danger Arena, which awards payouts based on the number of robots the player manages to kill – and yet GameCo claims that the economics for the casino will be the same as for slot machines. It's tough to see how that can be the case, but perhaps the games will feature dynamically adjusted difficulty and/or payouts, to ensure that players are collectively losing more than they're winning, even if individual players find they can beat the house.
– Meanwhile, big tournament series are coming to the New Jersey online poker scene. PokerStars will run its New Jersey WCOOP-equivalent NJCOOP in the final two weeks of October with $1.2 million in combined guarantees. Beating Stars to the punch is Party-Borgata, with its latest instalment in the Garden State Super Series (GSSS) starting on the 9th and featuring over $1.1 million in guarantees of its own.
– Discussion of the William Massouf controversy is starting to die down, but James Guill at PokerUpdate couldn't resist getting in one final piece on the subject of table talk in general.

Austin, TX (PRWEB) October 17, 2016
A Donald Trump presidency could drastically impact credit card regulation over the next four years, suggests Ben Woolsey, a leading expert on the credit card industry. Woolsey is the president and general manager of CreditCardForum, the premier one-stop resource for and by consumers seeking in-depth information, opinions and advice on credit cards. He has spent months studying the possible effects of Trump's policies on consumers, which could include a sharp rise in APRs and penalty fees.
Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has stated his plans to dismantle the 2010 Dodd-Frank financial regulatory law along with nearly all financial reforms put in place by the current administration.
"By his own admission, Trump wants to erase the Obama presidency to the greatest extent possible by immediately reversing any and all executive orders made in the past eight years along with most legislation he has signed into law," said Woolsey. "Elimination of financial regulations put in place in the aftermath of the 2007-2009 financial crisis is likely to cause average APRs and penalty fees to rise, unrelated to any future rate increases by the Fed, with the return of the ability of banks to increase rates at any time for any reason without the 45 day opt-out period currently given to consumers."
From President Obama's Wall Street reform law, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) was created to supervise financial institutions and enforce consumer financial laws. One particular law that is enforced by the CFPB is the Credit CARD Act, often referred to as the Credit Cardholders Bill of Rights. The law has two main purposes, which are to limit issuers' ability to raise interest rates without notice and impose certain fees (like for late payments or being over the credit limit) and to make rates and fees on credit cards more transparent for consumers.
While Hillary Clinton would likely double down on financial regulation to appease the left wing of her party, recent emails and excerpts from a Goldman Sachs speech unearthed by Wikileaks reveal her relationship with Wall Street is far cozier than her public policy positions would suggest. Regardless of any differences in her public and private positions on Wall Street reform, Clinton would be unlikely to dismantle any of the current regulatory apparatus put in place to protect consumers during the Obama administration.
"The unfettered capitalism overhaul Trump would usher would represent a decisive swing of the pendulum favoring business interests and away from the consumer protection, but ironically, could have at least one unintended effect," Woolsey said. "Lack of regulation for prepaid debit cards in particular could actually increase cashless payment options for both legal and illegal immigrants by making the products more profitable for the issuers, further facilitating cross-border remittances among the unbanked immigrant population. This could potentially encourage further immigration and end assisting a group that Trump has based his campaign on opposing."
Trump has also made promises to decrease the corporate tax rate, which currently stands at 35 percent, down to 15 percent. This drop for both large and small businesses is a way to keep companies from moving overseas and provide incentives for hiring and investments. Though it's still unclear if his plan would apply a flat 15 percent rate just to corporate income or to all business income, as Trump has previously suggested.
"Under his presidency, all companies would potentially benefit from this kind of windfall, but in terms of the financial services sector in particular, the large banks would significantly increase their profit margins as a result," said Woolsey. "Theoretically they could then afford to cut interest rates on credit cards and other types of loans, though a more likely scenario is incremental profits would simply pass through to stock holders and senior executives, rather than to consumers."

We all need a good critiquing every once in a while.
I got my first, hard look at what I was doing with a camera back in 1980. I was working as a teenage photojournalist at the Daily Clarion, and was pretty handy in the darkroom as well. The publisher of the paper was a man named Larry Hiatt, a large, imposing figure for a 17 year old, loud and opinionated. He was the newspaperman of lore.
He took to using a red wax marker and 'pointing out' errors that we made in the paper every day, typos, grammatical errors and such.
The day before I made a shot of some kids playing at a local bible school. I thought it particularly artistic and somehow convinced the editor to run it on one of the inside pages. It may have been artistic but it was apparently not photojournalistic. Which is why Mister Hiatt cut it out of the paper, marked it up with the red marker and left it taped to the door of the darkroom where I'd be sure to see it. And so would anyone else who walked by:
There was no sandwich of redeeming qualities to this critique. Three words just about covered it. Be artistic on your own time.
It may have been three of the most valuable words I ever received in critique. Because, yes - I am now artistic on my own time.
I've been critiqued in other areas of my life over the years as well.
In college when a professor selected the ones in the Radio/TV classes that would be successful in their choice of major, and which ones would leave the program (passed that one).
A few years later when I went to Oklahoma City in an attempt to be an air traffic controller - the director of the program very somberly predicted that he knew more than 80% of the people in the room would not finish successfully (I became a statistic).
I guess my point is - the biggest critique I or any other photographer could get is when someone gets out their checkbook. Whether I'm successful or not - the grade I will get is determined by the clients and friends who I work with.
If you fall into this category, thanks for your vote of confidence.
If you'd like to fall into this category, I look forward to working with you.

Tech Times - T-Mobile sues Huawei
T-Mobile USA claims Chinese telecom giant Huawei Technologies stole its software, specifications and other secrets for a cellphone-testing robot nicknamed "Tappy" - and it's not happy.
In a lawsuit filed September 2 in federal court in Seattle, T-Mobile says employees of the world's third-largest mobile-phone supplier illicitly photographed the device, tried to smuggle components out of T-Mobile's lab, and when banned from the Seattle-area facility, tried to sneak back in.
Huawei, which is no longer a T-Mobile phone supplier, utilized the information to build its own testing robot, and now is "using T-Mobile's stolen robot technology to test non-T-Mobile handsets and improve return rates for handsets developed and sold to other carriers," says the suit.
A Huawei spokesman acknowledged some inappropriate actions by two company employees and said they'd been fired. Huawei rejects the broader claims in the suit, however.
T-Mobile claims that in 2007, it was the first to debut a robot to test cellphone handsets "by performing touches on the phone the same way a human being would - only much more frequently in a shorter period of time." By reducing the cost of testing and improving the diagnostic data, the device has helped T-Mobile get more reliable handsets from its suppliers, the company says.
The suit offers a detailed chronology of the claimed spying in 2012 and 2013, including a Huawei engineer allegedly slipping into his laptop bag one of the robot's simulated fingertips. The company "ultimately admitted that its employees misappropriated parts and information about T-Mobile's robot," says the suit.
T-Mobile doesn't specify the damages it is seeking, but claims that because of Huawei's industrial espionage, it had to spend "at least tens of millions of dollars" switching to other handsets. The suit also claims Huawei profited from using the robot testing technology to improve its phones, "gains that are estimated to benefit Huawei by hundreds of millions of dollars."
Huawei spokesman William Plummer said the company regrets the episode has turned into a lawsuit.
"There is some truth to the complaint in terms of two Huawei employees acting inappropriately in their zeal to better understand the customer's quality testing requirements," he said. "As a result, those employees were terminated for violating our business conduct guidelines. As for the rest of the complaint, Huawei respects T-Mobile's right to file suit and we will cooperate fully with any investigation or court proceeding to protect our rights and interests."
A statement from the company says its employees had been trying to resolve discrepancies in results between T-Mobile's testing and its own robot tester, which T-Mobile knew Huawei had built.
Huawei has been dogged by allegations of intellectual property theft, and in 2012 a US congressional panel recommended telephone companies avoid doing business with it, citing concerns about its links to the Chinese government. In most of the world, however, its products are widely deployed by major telecommunications companies.
Motorola unveils new Moto X, Moto G smartphones
Motorola is taking aim at the more-affordable smartphone market with new versions of its Moto X flagship Android smartphone and the lower-cost Moto G.
The Moto X sports a 5.2-inch 1080p full HD display. It has a 13-megapixel camera and a new ring flash that Motorola says provides more balanced light. It can capture 4K Ultra HD video.
Under the hood is a 2.5Ghz Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 quad-core processor and 2GB of RAM.
It lands later this month for US$499 off-contract in the US. Motorola did not release carrier details but says it will be available for as low as US$99 with a two-year contract. (As a point of comparison, Samsung's flagship Galaxy S5 goes more than US$600 off-contract in the US)
The new Moto G, with a 5-inch 720p HD display, a lesser processor, 8-megapixel camera and stereo speakers on the front, is available today starting at just US$179.99 unlocked. It comes in a black or white front; you can swap out the back with colorful shells. The new Moto G adds a slot for a micro SD card.
As with its predecessor, the look of the high-end Moto X is customizable through Motorola's Moto Maker online design studio. Motorola is adding new colors and materials including eco-friendly woods and new leather finishes.
As you'd expect, the makeover ups many of the specs of the first generation Moto X, which had a 4.7-inch, 720p HD screen, a 10-megapixel camera and started around US$599 without a contract.
That first Moto X launched about a year ago as the first flagship since Google's purchase of Motorola Mobility in 2012. This past January, Google agreed to sell Motorola Mobility to Lenovo in a US$2.9 billion deal expected to close by the end of the year. Lenovo is a small player in the US smartphone market but its handsets sell well internationally.
Motorola says the Moto G is its best-selling smartphone ever and is the current best-selling phone in Brazil.
Both the new Moto X and Moto G run the latest KitKat version of "pure Android" - basically, Google's own take on its mobile operating system.
Among new features in the Moto X are enhanced voice controls that allow you to interact with the phone without touching it, a hallmark of the first version of the phone.
September is a big month for smartphones. Samsung just unveiled new oversized Note handsets, including the Note Edge, with a separate curved display alongside the right edge. And Microsoft added to its Lumia portfolio with its own new "affordable flagship" in the Nokia 830, which will be priced about US$430 without a contract when it arrives in the US. Microsoft also has two other new Lumias aimed at the budget market.
And looming large on Tuesday: Apple, which will take the wraps off its newest iPhone.

How will you make a difference in your child's academic life this year? It's easier than you think. Simply commit to take two hours a MONTH (not week) volunteering at Jackson. Doing the math, if 20 percent of Jackson families gave 2 hours a month, our school would benefit from 2,547 hours of additional support for our teachers and staff.
It's easier than you think. Crazy work schedule? We have volunteers who come by on their way to work for an hour (doors open at 7:15am). There are other volunteers who help teachers with projects at home on nights and weekends. Our happiest volunteers are those who match what they like to do with the needs of our school.
Your child will notice! Studies show parental involvement has a measurable impact on children's performance. Or just watch your child's eyes light up when they see you in the hall or in their classroom!
There are many opportunities for parents and community parents to get involved! Your help is needed, even if you are not a member of the PTA! Complete the Volunteer Interest form and someone from the PTA will be in touch with you. You can also contact Courtney Donkervoet at email@example.com for additional information.

This section is compiled of many of the most common Frequently Asked Questions I get, many of them are basic how, what, when, where and why based - some others are great little questions that always make me smile that I'll always be delighted to answer (whilst there are some at the end that are real-life examples that I have been asked-ish by people who really should have thought carefully before they asked them). I'm always interested if you have any further questions that you would like to ask me, but don't see noted here in the F.A.Qs section - so please contact me via [email protected]

Regular Questions
When were you first diagnosed with Asperger's?
At 4 years old at the Child Development Centre in Hereford. My parents were told that I would "..never walk, talk or interact properly" and would "always be in his own mind". Now look at me - I've proved them wrong, but it's also down to my parents who saw me and my potential (even if that did mean at times being taken round places kicking and screaming lol)
What have been your most difficult challanges?
So far, it's been trying to convince the authorities on the need for more services and provision to access regular services, whilst trying to prevent otherwise damaging strategies from running away unchecked that inhibit raising awarenss and tolerance to those on the spectrum in wider society. (This battle is often a case of Scientific and Statistical Fact-proven stategies that can help everyone on and off the spectrum that the aspie community demands, over the "quack" or psuedo-scientific methods that usually have only financial or selfish motives spurring them - But hey, that's part of my everyday role that you can help me with simply by making me aware of what is happening - thanks to everyone who has so far)
Odds, ends, bits, bobs and intrigue...
So what is it about the tunic Dave - Why do you wear it?
Quite frankly because I like to - it's a unique style of uniform and almost a trade mark, which allows people to start conversations with me without even trying and allowing me to show some of my more positive traits.
As for what its for, there are several reasons:
What about that utility jacket / body warmer you wear - why?
Ah yes - this is something that I've never fallen out of love for - particuarly the ones that you can get at army surplus shops with the many pockets for storing everyday things like cards, mobile phones, mp3 players, etc... I have shown it off as the "adult-sized weighted jacket" when talking about sensory stimulation and controlling mechanisms, designed in dealing with under- and over-sensitivity in children and adults. I have got used to and can never really relax properly due to sensory under-stimulation around my chest. The jacket allows me to feel what can be described as a "gentle hug" that keeps enough sensory stimulation to keep me comfortable, as well as to help with motor co-ordination.
Repetitive or Bad Questions that should never be asked....
"Can you help me? I have a problem, but I know you won't be able to answer it..."
If you want me to give a try at answering your questions, then try me - I won't bite and I'm only here to help. However I will not accept rhetorical questions that you expect me to answer poorly, and it probably means that you have given up on sensible solutions and are now suffering from self-induced depression - you need help from other professionals - preferably in Mental Health: but I do wish you well (NB: Believe it or not folks, this was a real question and thankfully, the person concerned did receive appropriate treatment for their depression)
Why don't you like jokes that show how stupid "normal" or "neurotypical" people are?
Simply because "normal" people are NOT always stupid. I have many friends and colligues who are Neurotypical that are geniouses in their chosen areas - To start making fun of them is also very unfair, as your condoning the Aspie Community at large to bully others who are not in the community - Bullying NEVER wins friends, it NEVER rights wrongs and it can NEVER be allowed in a neurodiverse society - Hence I don't condone any such behaviour by ANYONE - NEUROTYPICAL, ASPIE OR OTHERWISE. Treat others as you would want to be treated yourself - lead by example. Stay away from far-right or extremist political philosophies if you want to be included in debates in the future. I AM a real Aspie (NB: Once again, another very real question that was put to me by right-wing extremists on the spectrum - beware those sorts of people and don't be deceived in what they say to you)
Why do you still have soft toys? You're grown up, you don't need them and you'll get laughed at...
Pardon me - but I don't tell you what to wear, how to think nor how to decorate your home, so don't tell me what I can and can't have. My cuddly toys are part of my world, reminding me of who I am as much as my music and my tunic for example, they are also a comfort mechanism, particularly when I'm on my own - If you don't like it, tough luck - Oh and also, I don't preach Christianity to you if you don't want to hear it, so why do you have to force Atheism down my throat?! Think about it, it's you who is being antisocial.... (N.B. Once again another true example)
"Parents with "High Functioning kids" have it easy, you don't know what its like for a Severely Autistic Kid to push you over the edge.."
That's totally untrue. Retract that statement - it's far more offensive than the point you were claiming to bedisputing, particularly since I once was one of those "high functioningkids" you're on about: My parents never found it easy and could haveeasily gone "over the edge" just as much as parents with a"severely autistic" kid - Plus they received very little support forme, which they had to beg and scrape for. They couldn't even get in to thelocal autism support group because the group organisers claimed that I"wasn't autistic enough" to require them. If it wasn't for my parentshard work and dedication, I wouldn't be here right now - and probably would beheavily dependent on the state for my everyday needs. I know so many adults andtheir parents who will tell you the same thing themselves without hesistation -they even look as tired as they claim from that sustained effort (and the restof the family) believe it or not.
(Another all-too recent and very true example, with the reply word-for-word as I wrote it :()

The Indonesian Army (Indonesian: Tentara Nasional Indonesia-Angkatan Darat, TNI–AD), the land component of the Indonesian National Armed Forces, has an estimated strength of 300,000 regular personnel.[1] The history of the Indonesian Army has its roots in 1945 when the Tentara Keamanan Rakyat (TKR) "Civil Security Forces" first emerged as a paramilitary and police corps.[2]
Since the nation's independence movement, the Indonesian Army has been involved in multifaceted operations ranging from the incorporation of Western New Guinea, the Indonesia-Malaysia Confrontation, to the annexation of East Timor, as well as internal counter-insurgency operations in Aceh, Maluku and Papua.
The Indonesia Army is composed of a headquarters, 12 military area commands, a strategic reserve command KOSTRAD, a special forces command Kopassus, and various adjunct units.

In the week following the Japanese surrender of 1945, the Giyugun (PETA) and Heiho groups were disbanded by the Japanese. Most PETA and Heiho members did not yet know about the declaration of independence. Command structures and membership vital for a national army were consequently dismantled. Thus, rather than being formed from a trained, armed, and organised army, the Republican armed forces began to grow in September from usually younger, less trained groups built around charismatic leaders.[3] Creating a rational military structure that was obedient to central authority from such disorganisation, was one of the major problems of the revolution, a problem that remains through to contemporary times.[4] In the self-created Indonesian army, Japanese-trained Indonesian officers prevailed over those trained by the Dutch[citation needed]. A thirty-year-old former school teacher, Sudirman, was elected 'commander-in-chief' at the first meeting of Division Commanders in Yogyakarta on 12 November 1945.[5]
On 17 November 1952, General Nasution is suspended as army chief of staff following army indiscipline over command and support that threatens the government. From the 1950s, the military articulated the doctrines of dwifungsi and hankamrata, a military roles in the country's socio-political development as well as security; and a requirement that the resources of the people be at the call of the armed forces. On 5 July 1959, Sukarno, with armed forces support, issued a decree dissolving the Constituent Assembly and reintroducing the Constitution of 1945 with strong presidential powers. He assumed the additional role of Prime Minister, which completes the structure of 'Guided Democracy'.
The army was heavily involved in the Indonesian killings of 1965–1966. The killings were an anti-communist purge following a failed coup of the 30 September Movement. The most widely accepted estimates are that more than 500,000 people were killed. The purge was a pivotal event in the transition to the "New Order"; the Indonesian Communist Party (PKI) was eliminated as a political force. The failed coup released pent-up communal hatreds which were fanned by the Indonesian Army, which quickly blamed the PKI. Communists were purged from political, social, and military life, and the PKI itself was banned. The massacres began in October 1965, in the weeks following the coup attempt, and reached their peak over the remainder of the year before subsiding in the early months of 1966. They started in the capital, Jakarta, and spread to Central and East Java and, later, Bali. Thousands of local vigilantes and army units killed actual and alleged PKI members. Although killings occurred across Indonesia, the worst were in the PKI strongholds of Central Java, East Java, Bali, and northern Sumatra. It is possible that over one million people were imprisoned at one time or another.
Sukarno's balancing act of "Nasakom" (nationalism, religion and communism) had been unravelled. His most significant pillar of support, the PKI, had been effectively eliminated by the other two pillars—the army and political Islam; and the army was on the way to unchallenged power. In March 1968, Suharto was formally elected president.
The killings are skipped over in most Indonesian history books and have received little introspection by Indonesians and comparatively little international attention. Satisfactory explanations for the scale and frenzy of the violence have challenged scholars from all ideological perspectives. The possibility of a return to similar upheavals is cited as a factor in the "New Order" administration's political conservatism and tight control of the political system. Vigilance against a perceived communist threat remained a hallmark of Suharto's thirty-year presidency. The CIA described the massacre as "one of the worst mass murders of the 20th century, along with the Soviet purges of the 1930s, the Nazi mass murders during the Second World War, and the Maoist bloodbath of the early 1950s."[6]
Later army operations have not been without controversy; it has been periodically associated with human rights violations, particularly in West Papua, East Timor and Aceh.[7][8]
The size of the Army has expanded over the years; in July 1976 the Army was estimated to consist of solely 180,000 personnel, one armoured cavalry brigade, part of Kostrad (one tank battalion, plus support units), 14 infantry brigades (90 infantry, 1 para, 9 artillery, 11 anti-aircraft, and 9 engineer battalions) of which three of the brigades were in Kostrad, two airborne brigades totalling six battalions, also part of Kostrad, one independent tank battalion, 7 independent armoured cavalry battalions, and four independent para-commando battalions.[9][9]
Territorial Commands
The Armed Forces' operational sections were established by General Soedirman, following the model of the German Wehrkreise system. The system was later codified in Surat Perintah Siasat No.1, signed into doctrine by General Soedirman in November 1948.
The Army's structure underwent various reorganisations throughout its early years. From 1946 to 1952, the Army was organised into set divisions. These were further consolidated in 1951, and then dispersed in 1952. From 1952 to 1958-59, the Army was organised into seven Tentara & Teritoriums. In August 1958, the Indonesian Army reconsolidated its territorial command. There were then established sixteen Kodams, which retained earlier divisional titles; the Siliwangi Division, for example, became Kodam VI/Siliwangi.[10]
A reorganisation in 1985 made significant changes in the army chain of command. The four multiservice Regional Defence Commands (Kowilhans) and the National Strategic Command (Kostranas) were eliminated from the defence structure, re-establishing the Military Area Command (Kodam), or regional command, as the key organisation for strategic, tactical, and territorial operations for all services.[11] The chain of command flowed directly from the ABRI commander in chief to the ten Kodam commanders, and then to subordinate army territorial commands.
The Kodams incorporate provincial and district commands each with a number of infantry battalions, sometimes a cavalry battalion, artillery, or engineers.[12] Some have Raider battalions attached. Currently there are 12 Military Area Commands.
Infantry battalions in progress of forming:
- Infantry battalion 147/BSY, will be based in East Belitung Regency.
- Infantry battalion 612, will be based in East Kutai Regency.
- Infantry battalion 622, will be based in Tanah Laut Regency.
- Infantry battalion 632/Panglima Batur, will be based in North Barito Regency.
- Infantry battalion 735, will be based in Morotai Island Regency.
Operational Commands
Special Forces Command (Kopassus), est 5,530 divided is composed of five groups, Grup 1/Parakomando (Para Commando), Grup 2/Parakomando (Para Commando), Pusat Pendidikan Pasukan Khusus (Training), Grup 3/Sandhi Yudha (Combat Intelligence), SAT 81/Penanggulangan Teror (Counter-terrorism); plus the Presidential Guard (Paspampres) and headquarters.[13] Each group is headed by a Colonel and all groups are para-commando qualified.
Army Strategic Reserve Command (Kostrad), is the Indonesian Army's Strategic Reserve Command. Kostrad is a Corps level command which has around 40,000 troops.[14] It also supervises operational readiness among all commands and conducts defence and security operations at the strategic level in accordance with policies of the TNI commander.
- Army Aviation Command (id:Pusat Penerbangan Angkatan Darat) The army had its own small air arm that performs attack, liaison and transport duties. It operates 100 aircraft in three helicopter and aircraft squadrons composed mostly of light aircraft and small transports, such as the IPTN produced CN-235.

- Squadron 21 Sena (support) (West Jakarta)
- Squadron 31 Heli Serbu (heavy assault squadron)(Semarang)
- Squadron 12 Heli Serbu (light assault) (Way Kanan Regency)

About This Show
I didn't want to be a drug dealer. I wanted to be a stock broker. Hell, I was a stock broker for a while, but when I turned 21, my record became public and they took my license away. Apparently, you can't be a stock broker if you're also a murderer. "I was a murderer yesterday too, motherfucker," I said. Apparently the SEC would have gotten rid of me yesterday had they known. Of course, there was also the issue of the spark plug, but they didn't care much about that. The Army though, they were the opposite. They said being a murder wasn't a problem— they'd teach me a million ways to kill someone, but then the goddamn spark plug incident happened.

I have fled from the US government to Mexico, and I have fled from the Mexican government to the US. I grew up in jail and have been on house arrest twice. I've fallen madly in love too many times and divorced three women. I only count one of the divorces as real. The other two women were just girls I divorced. I have consumed more cocaine, vodka, protein and nicotine than any living human. Some dead ones may have outdone me. I have seen many people die, some friends, some enemies. I started dealing drugs at age 10 but, my path was cemented when I killed someone at age 14.Now, my life is a lot different. As it should be. I'm a competitive bodybuilder, an intensive personal trainer/life coach, and business-owner. I'm a goddamn upstanding citizen. Sometimes. This is my story.Read more »
