The Independent Commission set up by the UCI to examine its role in the Lance Armstrong scandal has greeted yesterday evening's announcement that it is being disbanded by expressing the hope that the Truth & Reconciliation Commission the governing body plans to install will address those same issues. It has also queried whether the UCI has pulled the plug on its work too early, and expressed concerns over the governing body's ability to work alongside the World Anti Doping Agency (WADA).
Reading between the lines, the Independent Commission's parting shot reflects its acknowledgment that it has been caught in the crossfire in the war of words between the UCI and WADA over how to move the sport on from the damage done by the Armstrong affair.
Having proved itself perhaps too independent for the UCI's liking, it also highlights the lack of co-operation it received from the UCI and others in beginning its work.
It also underlines its belief that questions arising from the UCI's role in the Armstrong scandal, details of which were outlined in the Reasoned Decision published by the United States Anti Doping Agency in October, will need to be answered if the damage done to the sport is to be repaired.
In its statement released this afternoon, the Independent Commission, which had been due to meet again on Thursday, said:
The Independent Commission notes the UCI's unilateral decision to disband the Commission with effect from 28 January 2013.
If the legacy of this Commission is the establishment of an independent Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) that includes, as part of its mandate, a thorough and expeditious investigation of the UCI's role in the Lance Armstrong/USPS doping affair, then that is to be welcomed. Any TRC will represent a chance once and for all to break the code of silence that has allowed the use of performance enhancing drugs to be hidden and perpetuated.
However, the Commission remains concerned as to WADA's and the UCI's ability to agree the scope, timing and structure of the TRC and also whether the T&R process is sufficiently advanced to justify the UCI's termination of this Inquiry.
When this Commission was announced, [UCI president] Pat McQuaid stated that the UCI "will co-operate fully with the Commission and provide them with whatever they need to conduct their inquiry" and urged "all other interested stakeholders to do the same". Neither the UCI nor interested stakeholders have provided sufficient co-operation to enable the Commission to do its job. This failure to cooperate makes our task impossible. Therefore, the proposed hearing on 31 January 2013 will not take place.
The evidence which has been gathered by the Commission will be retained by Macfarlanes [the London law firm at whose offices the Independent Commission is based] for use by the TRC once established.
As the Commission has repeatedly stated, there is an immense public interest in determining why and how Lance Armstrong/USPS Team were able to engage, as recently publicly admitted, in systematic doping without detection or sanction.
The Commission urges all those who have an interest in cycling to make sure that an independent TRC is established and remains willing to offer assistance in the process if required.
Born in Scotland, Simon moved to London aged seven and now lives in the Oxfordshire Cotswolds with his miniature schnauzer, Elodie. He fell in love with cycling one Saturday morning in 1994 while living in Italy when Milan-San Remo went past his front door. A daily cycle commuter in London back before riding to work started to boom, he's been news editor at road.cc since 2009. Handily for work, he speaks French and Italian. He doesn't get to ride his Colnago as often as he'd like, and freely admits he's much more adept at cooking than fettling with bikes.

A federal judge ordered U.S. Special Operations Command to pay a fine and undergo training on accuracy and ethics after a bid protest found record keeping misconduct involving a proposed five year, $45 million contract.
Federal Claims Judge Thomas C. Wheeler noted that the conduct warranted more severe punishment, but chose not to issue sanctions against SOCOM, according to a ruling unsealed Tuesday.

The benefits of touch have long been associated
with relaxation and a sense of well being. Increasing
numbers of people are seeking massage as a way to relax.
Forty percent of women and 29 percent of men reported
having a massage in the past five years, according to a
2010 Massage Therapy Industry Fact Sheet compiled by the
American Massage Therapy Association (AMTA), in July of
Health care providers and hospitals, too, are embracing massage therapy with growing appreciation for its effectiveness in helping patients. The AMTA's 2010 Industry Fact Sheet shows that 76 percent of massage therapists received referrals from health care professionals, up from 69 percent in 2008. Why? An increasing number of studies indicate that massage therapy produces beneficial results in relieving pain, lowering blood pressure, and improving circulation, among other benefits.
"Massage therapy has moved mainstream, but it's rooted in medicine," says Susan Zolvinski, allied health chairperson at Brown Mackie College - Michigan City. "I learned the basics of massage therapy in nursing school 30 years ago. A simple back rub can reduce the heart rate, lower blood pressure and de-stress a patient. It's a good complement to the wonderful treatments we have." Today, the field has expanded dramatically, with many different sub-specialties within the more than 300 different types of massage.
"At first, it was general
physicians giving referrals,
then chiropractors and physical
therapists recognized the
benefits. Now massage therapy is
integrated into many different
treatment plans," says Melissa
DeFrancesco, program director
for health and therapeutic
massage therapy at Brown Mackie
College - South Bend. Nearly
every age group is represented
in the use of massage therapy.
It is used in treating the
elderly, athletes and people
with specific diseases like
cancer or muscular dystrophy,
infants, and individuals who
suffer from chronic pain.
Even with the buzz generated by this up-and-coming profession, many people don't realize just what massage therapy entails. "We work with muscles, tendons, ligaments that attach to muscles, and fascia or connective tissue and the lymphatic system, which serves as the body's sewage and waste disposal system," says DeFrancesco, "A lot of science goes into it," says Zolvinski. "The beauty of it is combining art with science. We take knowledge of how the body works and functions, and apply the different massage therapy modalities to create a specific plan to help each individual. Every massage is different."
For instance, massage therapy is commonly used in treating breast cancer. "When the lymph system is compromised due to mastectomy, stimulation is important to help fend off lymph edema, which is painful swelling. We apply gentle, constant pressure to help redirect fluid past an area where lymph nodes have been removed. Creating a 'detour' helps to move fluid along, thereby reducing swelling," continues Zolvinski.
The rise of massage therapy diploma programs is designed to meet the growing demand for professionals. A comprehensive program prepares students with knowledge of anatomy, physiology, finger-pressure techniques and the use of complementary aids such as heat and ice. Course components also help students develop practical skills to assess joint quality and muscle strength, create individualized treatment plans, maintain client relationships and manage the business aspects of the profession.
Massage therapy appeals to many people because of the flexibility it allows. Often pursued as a second career, a qualified massage therapist can seek work at salons and spas, fitness centers, medical facilities, hotels, airports and cruise ships, to name a few. The majority are self-employed, working independently.
"Credentialing is required in 43 states and the District of Columbia," says DeFrancesco. "Most states that currently don't test for certification have passed laws to do so, but not yet implemented them."

Merry Christmas
We would like to wish every reader of The Judgment of Paris a very Merry Christmas, Frohe Weihnachten, and all the best during the Yuletide season.
In past years, we have posted seasonal images of Barbara Brickner, and of a Victorian angel. For this holiday, it is our great pleasure to share a full-length version of a picture that, in a cropped form, has delighted aficionados for timeless beauty for years--an image of the loveliest of all plus-size models, Shannon Marie, lounging sensually on an opulent bed, appearing alluringly full, yet still with a desirous look in her steamy eyes.
It is a remarkably intimate image. She wears a gold wrap, as do the presents in the foreground, which are just waiting for someone to unwrap them. The vibrant red of the bedcover intimates the passions that smoulder within her. One could dub this picture "Shannon Marie for Christmas," in that she presents herself as the greatest gift of all.
This unforgettable advertisement originally appeared as a special insert in a Canadian issue of Mode magazine. It remains the most gorgeous Yuletide image ever created.
O Holy Night
Ding Dong Merrily on High
The Little Drummer Boy
Carol of the Bells
White Christmas
Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas
O Come All Ye Faithful
and the grand finale,
Let It Snow.
So it will be an all-Irish Christmas this year; small wonder, as Ireland is the point of origin of many of the greatest living exemplars of timeless femininity.
May this compendium of beauty of sight and sound bring a little cheer into your lives, at this affecting time of year.

GPS systems are convenient, but they don't always offer the most efficient routes for drivers in terms of fuel consumption and cost. Route4Me.com, a route planning website that strives to offer the best route possible from and to multiple destinations, now provides a new mobile method of mapping out courses with the launch of Route4Me for Apple's iPhone.
The app, according to its developer, will cost $1.99 in the iTunes Store. Use of Route4Me should allow drivers to "spend less time in the car, reduce the amount of money spent on gas and decrease CO2 emissions by burning less gas by traveling the optimal route."
According to Route4Me's iTunes page, the latest version of the app, 2.0, offers turn-by-turn directions, an updated user interface, estimated trip time, an approximation for the miles required to complete the entire trip, and other boons.

John Mikel Obi says winning bronze in Rio has given him the lift and hunger to target the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo.
Mikel Obi was part of Dream Team VI squad that participated and won Bronze at Rio 2016 and is his already looking forward to another Olympics.
Writing about his experience in Rio, the midfielder says the winning Bronze has given him the hunger to participate again in Tokyo 2020.
"This experience has given me the hunger to do it again at the Olympics in Tokyo in 2020. I will be only 33 then and my game will still be at a high level," the 29-year-old writes in his column for Standards Sports.
"I enjoyed every minute of being in Brazil and I have been talking to the other guys about playing in another Olympics. I'm already looking forward to it and the countdown is on!"
ALSO READ: Mikel Obi says he slept with his bronze medal
Although Mikel's place at Chelsea is under doubt due to the presence of N'golo Kante and Nemanja Matic, the midfielder says winning bronze in Rio has also given him a lift as he returns to the club.
"I will go back to see the manager [Antonio Conte] and see what his plans are for me," he writes.
"I want to get back into training and prove myself. I want to play and help the team to win games.
"I know it will be difficult because I have missed most of pre-season and the coach has a new way of playing.
"But it is a positive thing for me that I have been playing well out here in Brazil and I'm in good shape."
Mikel Obi has also been included in Super Eagles' list to face Tanzania in a dead rubber African Cup of Nations qualifier.

RAMADI, Iraq, Dec. 12 -- About a half-hour after it began, the meeting on how to improve security in violent Anbar province became a heated argument, with Iraq's defense minister accusing local leaders of turning their territory into a terrorist sanctuary.
"This province has become a safe haven for all the evil people all over the world who come into Iraq," said the minister, Sadoun Dulaimi, who is from Anbar and, like most of the fighters in Iraq's insurgency, a Sunni Muslim. He told the gathering he was speaking "in all honesty, as one of yours, a relative, a son, a brother."
"Terrorism is a virus," he continued. "I plead with you not to open your homes to such evil viruses."
Several locals voiced their dissent as Dulaimi tried to continue, saying he wanted them to be "part of the solution, not part of the problem."
"With all due respect, Mr. Minister," said Saab Rawi, who identified himself as a former major general in the army of ousted president Saddam Hussein, "what you are talking about is imposing a solution on us we do not want." Others shook their heads and said, "No, no, no," as Dulaimi tried to go on with his remarks above the din.
The meeting was the latest in a series of gatherings here between religious and tribal leaders from Iraq's Sunni Arab minority and the U.S. Marines who police the restive province, a vast desert swath west of Baghdad. Like earlier sessions, the meeting was notable for the participants' widely divergent views of how security could best be achieved.
In Ramadi, a war-weary provincial capital of 400,000 that Dulaimi likened to a "ghost town," the police force was disbanded this year after many officers simply stopped showing up for work following a spate of insurgent attacks against them. A provincial police force that the Marines have been working to develop suffered a setback last month when its chief was accused of stealing officers' salaries and arrested.
Held at a fortified government complex in the heart of Ramadi, Monday's meeting began with locals asking the Marines to withdraw from the province's cities and allow them to create a new army division for Anbar, drawn from the local population.
The meeting ended in private. As the debate intensified 45 minutes into the two-hour session, Army Gen. George Casey, the commander of U.S. forces in Iraq, who had accompanied Dulaimi, asked journalists who had been shuttled to Ramadi by the U.S. Embassy to cover the event to leave the room.
Before the session was closed to reporters, Dulaimi, a member of one of the province's most prominent tribes, said he was saddened by the recent news that a woman from Anbar had been among the group that bombed hotels in Amman, Jordan, last month.
"I was hoping to hear a condemnation from this council of the woman who violated the honor of the province," he said. "And I was also hoping to hear a condemnation that to shed the innocent blood of Muslims is a sin."
He rejected the local leaders' demand for a new army unit for the province. U.S. policymakers have said they hope to withdraw troops from cities when Iraqi forces are ready to take over and a suitable level of security is achieved.
"There is already an army division here in Anbar," he continued, referring to the 7th Iraqi Army Division. "We welcome all those who wish to join."
Most of the soldiers in the division come from Iraq's Shiite Muslim majority, rivals of the Sunnis. People have long bemoaned its presence here alongside U.S. Marines.
Members of the 7th Division's 1st Brigade, natives of Shiite cities such as Basra and Nasiriyah, as well as Sadr City, the vast Shiite slum in northern Baghdad, voted Monday at their base in Ramadi because they will spend election day, Thursday, patrolling the city.
Gathered outside a barracks being used as a polling station, soldiers quickly turned the occasion into a rally for the Shiite religious parties that govern Iraq and are widely forecast to gain the largest share of votes in the parliamentary elections.
Dozens danced in a large circle chanting, "555 are the elegant leaders," a reference to the numerical designation of the Shiite religious slate. Some had posters bearing the image of Shiite cleric Moqtada Sadr stuck on their chests or fastened to the end of raised AK-47 assault rifles.
"Anyone who does not vote 555 is not one of us," one platoon sang as members waited in line to vote.
"You can't ignore the fact that sectarianism is a problem here," acknowledged Brig. Gen. James L. Williams, commander of the 2nd Marine Division, which oversees Anbar.
At the conclusion of the security meeting Monday afternoon, the parties decided to convene again, after the election, according to Abed Mohammed Jumayli, secretary of the committee of local leaders.

After the economic boom during 1950s, Japan needed a symbol of its economic power. So, 53 years ago in December 23 1958, the Tokyo Tower was inaugurated as the tallest freestanding tower in the world, surpassing the Eiffel Tower.
Actually, Tokyo Tower fulfilled two roles, it was an important tourist attraction (over 150 million visitors since the inauguration) and was also the support structure for the antennas broadcasting signals for Japanese media outlets such as NHK or Fuji TV.
But in 2011, when Japan made the transition to digital television, Tokyo Tower was deemed to be too small and the new digital antennas were placed on the new Tokyo Sky Tree. So Tokyo Tower is now just a tourist attraction… but I'm sure it will manage to keep a high number of visitors, especially because of the magnificent views from its two observatories.
Here's a night view, fully lit up by its 176 lights, in its common illumination scheme. The lighting was originally designed by Motoko Ishii, a famous Japanese lighting designer and over time other lighting schemes were added, like the Diamond Veil which was inaugurated in 2008, at the 50 years anniversary.

To end his week abroad searching for tolerance and peace, President Trump met with Pope Francis at the Vatican on May 24th.
The meeting was long awaited, as the pair have clashed on several topics ranging from treatment of refugees to LGBTQ policies. Trump seemed nervous as he waited in the Saint Ambrose room before meeting with the Pope, and when the two shook hands the pontiff held a stone face. But following the President's tour for tolerance theme, the meeting went well and everyone seemed to lighten up. Only an interpreter was allowed in the Pope's private study during the 30-minute meeting. The President's family and a few staff members were present and exchanged pleasantries with the Pope.
On Tuesday night, the night before the meeting, many Italians and Americans in Rome staged Anti-Trump demonstrations. The police took a zero-tolerance approach and shut down any signs of disruption. Anticipation ran high as the two have been in active discussions from afar and are now brought face to face. But in what may be a sign of hope for peace and change, the encounter went smoothly.
Secretary of State Rex Tillerson told reporters the President and the Pope spoke of "extreme terrorist threats" and the "radicalization of young people." One of the more heated topics as of late, global warming, was also brought up. The President, who has openly supported the theory that climate change is a hoax, was given a copy the pontiff's 2015 encyclical on the environment and its relationship to social justice. Trump's administration has actively sought out actions which are geared towards profit and growth rather than healing, and in the encyclical the Pope writes, "the warming caused by huge consumption on the part of some rich countries has repercussions on the poorest areas of the world, especially Africa, where a rise in temperature, together with drought, has proved devastating for farming."
Trump has been touring the Middle East, meeting with Muslim leaders in Saudi Arabia and with Israeli and Palestinian leaders in Jerusalem and Bethlehem. Jokes aside, President Trump seemed to stay out of trouble for the most part and called the visits "wonderful and unforgettable."
Honor of a lifetime to meet His Holiness Pope Francis. I leave the Vatican more determined than ever to pursue PEACE in our world. pic.twitter.com/JzJDy7pllI— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) May 24, 2017

The world of business is more volatile than ever before. As an entrepreneur, having a single-minded focus and unwavering commitment is no longer enough. You need to be ready to shift direction in response to change or disruption at a moment's notice: Be willing to test new approaches; consider other options; and quickly transition to new products, services, policies, and processes. In short, you have to be agile.
Think Agile is an indispensable guide to this essential skill. Covering a range of topics—from funding, to time frames, to planning—the book helps you measure your own entrepreneurial agility, and offers real-life case studies and invaluable tools to help you improve it. You'll learn how to think—and act—agile, in regard to funding sources, launch timetables, planning, and repurposing everything from products to people to names. You'll also discover how to navigate your enterprise through a rapidly changing, obstacle-strewn environment that demands agility, and broaden your outlook so you're thinking about what might happen down the road, and get ready to adjust as early as possible to take advantage of future events.
When circumstances change, it can be difficult to tear yourself away from your original —and possibly outdated—conception of what will make your business successful. This unique book acknowledges the challenge in thinking clearly and objectively about your company in the face of unexpected obstacles such as lost funding, a similar product being unveiled by a more established company, or a key employee jumping ship to work for a competitor. Think Agile shows you how to move away from the conventional wisdom and the status quo, and make your way toward fresh thinking and new business strategies and tactics. Culling examples from a variety of sources to show you how to use agility approaches successfully, the book also presents cautionary tales of what happens when entrepreneurs are destructively inflexible.
When you lock yourself into one strategy, one product, one distribution method—and one way of thinking about your business—you limit your potential, and lower your chances of capitalizing on economic, industry, or market changes. This book examines the latest trends that will soon present opportunities and obstacles for all entrepreneurs. Think Agile is an essential guide for the success of any business…no matter what obstacles may lay in its path.

Warts are seen on children as well as on adults. They can be on very visible areas, like the face and hands. They are quite embarrassing to have and sometimes impossible to cover with a bandage. They can grow on complicated places like on finger joints or in between the legs. When playing a sport or at work it is easy to hurt and bleed them, being quite painful at times. Even though they are not considered dangerous they are quite bothersome and embarrassing to have.
Many have tried the different treatments we will describe below. Some have been successful but most have had a recurrence of the warts and even more. For many it has been very costly, very painful and frustrating, therefore, we want to share with you a powerful and effective natural remedy that has removed my warts forever.
As a child, I suffered first hand with this terrible condition. I had warts on my knuckles, hands and between my legs. My mother would try everything there was possible, first she tried over the counter products with no success. The warts continued to multiply and grow. Then the dermatologist suggested the liquid nitrogen which actually froze each wart. It was so painful but I was able to support the pain, I guess the humiliation of having warts was even harder to take. The warts fell off, but they came back in a short time. My mother did not know what else to do, because she felt that it was not worth putting me through the pain again, especially with a method that proved not to be permanent.
Then one day a family doctor noticed my hands and how big my warts were. The doctor told my mother he knew about a very old remedy they use in Spain. He told her: "Just Believe Me! It will work!" And it did… after three applications the warts where totally gone.
Keep reading and you will find out exactly how we did it and why this healing substance is so powerful.

All day long, I either read or watch movies. I've started working out because I've gained an inconceivable amount of weight, but even then, I read. It's becoming very exhausting, though it could just be that I need to change my contacts. When I take a break from those two things, I flit about, pretending to write or pretending to clean or pretending to pack.
And the voices, they're getting louder. I want to talk to somebody. Really bad. A good conversation, especially one at night, makes me less uneasy. Uneasy seems a constant state for me. I wonder if I can even add the "un" if I'm so comfortable being it.
I also miss encyclopedias. I adore Wikipedia, but I also miss being able to look at something for research and be able to see it and what I'm writing at the same time, instead of switching from Firefox to Word all the time.
Here's the latest batch of books I've finished.
1. Conversation Pieces: Poems That Talk To Other Poems, edited by Kurt Brown and Harold Schechter. I loved this book the second I saw the title, because it's what I love about poetry. And this collection pairs each poem with the poem it mimics, responds to, makes fun of, or expands upon, so it's at once an anthology of those famous poems that you should know ("La Belle Dame Sans Merci," "This Is Just To Say") and current poets (Kimiko Hahn and Meg Kearney are my favorites, since they were NBFers). And the book is just well put together, doing a good job at including writers of different genders, historical periods, ethnic backgrounds, and nationalities. It was a great vacation companion, and I read a few poems almost every night while I was away.
2. Sleeping With Schubert by Bonnie Marson. I really wanted to read this book for a few reasons: a) I wanted to read something by a local writer; b) my former boss suggested I read it; c) after seeing the play "Beethoven, As I Knew Him" I have a bit of composer fever; and d) the concept was similar to the novel I started working on recently, so when I read the blurb about this book, it sounded like it could either be a very good thing (inspiration and all) or a very bad thing (finding out my idea was already done exactly how I was going to do it). Reading it had neither of those results. Somehow, Marson never learned that whole "show, don't tell" thing, and I just didn't buy a lot of the story. The most interesting parts weren't really fleshed out, and it read too much like chick lit trying to be literature. Not the best it could have been, but certainly interesting, and fun enough if you're into classical music history.
3. Betsy-Tacy and Tib by Maud Hart Lovelace. I had the most beautiful old editions of these books when I was younger, and I stupidly got rid of them. Now I'm trying to replace them. So I realized that for the past few summers, I have devoted some of my reading to rediscovering children's series. Last year, it was Little House. The year before that, it was Harry Potter (because I wanted to be prepared for the final book). Since I only ever read the first few books, when Betsy, Tacy, and Tib are all young, I have decided I'm going to start from the beginning and read all the way through. They're some of the most fabulous children's books of all time, and Betsy Ray definitely helped me want to become a writer, as well as made me feel at home with another child who loved to make up her own games. Plus, I need a break from all the heavier reading I'm doing.
4. Not a Matter of Love by Beth Alvarado. This spring, Beth earned a place as probably my second-favorite fiction teacher that I've had, just after Norma Fox Mazer. They have these honors for different reasons, but still. Beth was an excellent teacher, so obviously I wanted to read what she'd written. This short story collection felt first very familiar to me, and I loved that it was Tucson, because the only other Tucson book I can remember is The Bean Trees, and that was just terrible. Strangely, this was my Tucson and then it really, really wasn't. Drugs and drug culture elude me; maybe it's spoiled to say so. But what I really appreciated this collection for, aside from just well-written, good stories, was how Beth handled interracial marriages and relationships, biracial children, and bicultural communities. That really doesn't happen enough in stories, and it almost never happens without it being the only (or major) plot device. Isn't it funny how I'm always bringing that up?

So now with clear mind about 5XXX family, you compare 5530 with 6600 if you want... But if you so much concern about Music Quality and the outer look more than any other feature of a mobile, the you must go for 5530 Xpress Music... Because you won't regret...

eklipes, 12 Feb 2010hi guys, my time and date on my phone changes whenever i switch off my phone, but when i take ... moreDear eklipes, I have written the same case , when I tried in a NPD in India. Even in two sets it was the same. So I did not purchased it.
I have tried two sets of 5530 with BSNL sim. But these two showed same result- the clock time changed whenever you off and again on it. As it was tried in a NPD the setting was ok i.e. auto update was off, GMT set at +5.30. I dont know why? Then I dont buy it.
yanget, 17 Feb 2010how was the touch screen, do i have to touch it really hard?Dear yanget,
Hei... You don't have to press harder man... This touch screen mobile is so sensitive and you only have to press a tiny bit... that's all... (Don't break the phone by pressing too hard..!)
But on the other hand it's not that sensitive as Apple iphone if you want to compare the touch screen.. Iphone has 'capacitive touch screen' which doesn't require any pressure while Nokia 5530 has 'resistive touch screen' which require a tiny little press to response...
That's all... See by your self... (I had never used a touch screen before I bought this one, so first most days I was really in trouble because the touch sensitivity was too much...! I always had to take care of accidental finger taps...)
lllllllllll, 17 Feb 2010hey guys do we need to put any plastic cover on its screen????? in my opinion it already have ... moreDear lllllllllll,
Any Nokia mobile has the plastic cover on top of its original screen... And it also has a protective sticker... So 5530 is the same...
BUT... That doesn't say you can use it without care just because you can replace the cover so easily... Yeah.. You can replace the cover, but as you can see, 5530 has that cover attached to it's casing... So you'll have to replace all the casing in order to have a new cover screen... That's of course costly...!
So, my advice is 'Keep the Protective Sticker' as long as possible... But I also have to admit that the original Protective sticker of 5530 isn't so good... It easily get scratches on it so you better replace it with another sticker that you can purchase even from ebay... It's very cheap... (You can get 4 stickers for about 8 US Dollars... That mean one sticker costs only 2 US Dollars...)
These stickers don't last very long.. But I guess you can use one at least 4 months without any problem...
So my recommendation is, buy protective stickers and apply them on top of the screen cover... You don't need any additional plastic cover what so ever... (it's so ugly too... Don't insult this beauty by putting it in ugly plastic containers...!)
Please note that the screen of the Nokia 5530 is not scratch resistive like Apple iphone... So don't use it without protective stickers on it... That's an advice...
Nuwan, 17 Feb 2010Dear ktm rockr, I just tried the application 'Landscape v1.0' (Thanks to your help...) and ... morenuwan bro,i really agree wt u said.. thx for review

House Cleaning
Simply finding a professional and reliable cleaning company can sometimes be a hard thing to do. You know you have a lot of spaces on your home that need cleaning, tasks that you just can't find the time to get to regularly.

At Super Clean Maid Service, we despise that type of housekeeping, and believe in giving you our experienced and professional service every time. Count on us for thorough house cleaning in Toronto, ON.

It doesn't matter if it's an apartment cleaning job that you need us to do, or one that may involve a larger space, such as a condo cleaning assignment. When it comes to residential cleaners, we strive to be the best, and our results prove it.

"Well, I doubt you'll ever see a bigger insect."
Gabby Nichols is putting her son to bed when she hears her daughter cry out. 'Mummy there's a daddy longlegs in my room!' Then the screaming starts… Kevin Alperton is on his way to school when he is attacked by a mosquito. A big one. Then things get dangerous.
But it isn't the dead man cocooned inside a huge mass of web that worries the Doctor. It isn't the swarming, mutated insects that make him nervous.
With the village cut off from the outside world, and the insects becoming more and more dangerous, the Doctor knows that unless he can decode the strange symbols engraved on an ancient stone circle, and unravel a mystery dating back to the Second World War, no one is safe.

Meet a Green Empowerment Volunteer – Dave Lindoo
Posted in Peru, volunteer on March 25, 2010| Leave a Comment »
'Meet a Green Empowerment Volunteer' is a new installment on the Green Empowerment blog that highlights past and current Green Empowerment volunteers. Green Empowerment is very lucky to have various committed volunteers and this blog segment will allow the Green Empowerment community to get to know these fantastic individuals.
The smallest act of kindness is worth more than the grandest intention. – Oscar Wilde
Dave Lindoo is the first volunteer to be featured. Well done Dave and best of wishes on your journey to Peru!
Hi, I am Dave Lindoo and I have chosen to volunteer six months of my time to travel to Cajamarca, Peru with Green Empowerment and help create, develop, and maintain renewable energy projects starting July of this year. I feel very lucky for having the opportunity to volunteer with Green Empowerment and I look forward to helping people in developing countries create and maintain sustainable projects that improve their lives. Ever since I've graduated with my B.S. in Mechanical Engineering Technology I've only wanted to put that degree and knowledge towards the renewable energy industry. I believe it is a very promising field and it is our future. I also believe it the best choice for rural areas in developing countries because it is far more economical than extending the grid (which usually isn't an option anyway) and each project can be specifically catered to the village's needs.
To learn more about Dave or donate to the project in Cajamarca please visit his blog!
Havurah Works to Bring Water to El Jocote
Posted in get involved, Nicaragua, solar water pumping on March 25, 2010| 1 Comment »
Havurah Shalom recently committed to work with Green Empowerment in El Jocote Nicaragua to bring a new water system to the community. Residents of El Jocote currently uses a hand pump to reach their water source which can be time consuming and difficult. A solar installation will pump water into a cement tank at a high point in the community from which gravity pulls it to resident's homes. In addition to the renewable energy infrastructure, Havurah Shalom also plans on assisting in organizing a health assessment before and after the installation of the system.

Hokkaidō Uprising
|Hokkaido Uprising
|Part of the Avatar Wars
Republic of Coruscant
Hokkaidō Rebels
|Hokkaido regime
|Renegade factions
|Commanders and leaders
Alyx Vance
|Ryuu Tōjō
22px choxorn
22px Stylesrj†*
22px Brackman†
22px Dostya
The Hokkaidō Uprising was a popular revolt that occurred in reaction to oppressive measures instituted by Captain Ryuu Tōjō.
Japan was the second country struck by the zombie menace, after the initial breakout in Moscow. choxorn, angered by Stylesrj and Mjwhear's endless crappy spam comics, went to Japan to zombify them (and anyone else he happened to run into).[1] Although the main island of Honshū and smaller islands of Shikoku and Kyushu quickly succumbed, Hokkaidō remained unmolested. Mr. Toyoda assumed authority on the island in an attempt to secure a safe zone for mainland refugees.[2] Toyoda placed Major Ryouichi Sasaki in charge of the operation while he was in Germany. Sasaki later left with a command unit to assist in the Honshū evacuation, and command trickled down to Tōjō.[3]
Reign of Tōjō
Although he was a respected field officer, Captain Tōjō was not a bureaucrat, and it showed. His attempts to improve upon the security measures already in place escalated into a dictatorial centralization of power; this combined with a personal paranoia over perceived attempts to penetrate the protected zone. Police-state authoritarianism reached an apex at the same time that Toyoda announced in a television broadcast that local police would be integrated with his security forces.[4]
Despite growing unease among Toyoda's staff, Tōjō's rule went unchallenged, partly in respect to the chain of command, and partly because Tōjō had inherited (through technicality) Toyoda's original authorization,[5] which to some is equitable to the word of God. This duplicity on the part of Toyoda's men led to the not uncommon public perception that Toyoda himself condoned Tōjō's actions. Disgruntled citizens began disorganized, sporadic campaigns of armed resistance; although these achieved little and in outlying regions went unreported.
Enter CivGeneral
CivGeneral's arrival in Hokkaidō provided a sharp morale boost to the resistors. Invigorated by the approaching Soviet army, residents of the Warsaw ghetto launched a new attack against their German—
Oh. Wait a minute...
CivGeneral's reputation preceded him, and the resistance rallied, launching fresh strikes against Toyoda's men.[6] Some officers, sensing a shift in the balance of power, also began mutinous behaviour; underground collaboration in and around Kitami, outright defiance in the outlying regions. Tōjō remained oblivious to most of these developments, disciplining Sergeant Ishikawa only after Our Heroes had Learned What They Needed To Know.[7]
Acting on Ishikawa's advice, CivGeneral and Co. met with Mejiko to claim unused Civil Protection uniforms;[7] Stylesrj tagged along for bandwagon glory.[8] They penetrated the inner sphere of Toyoda's headquarters undetected[6], despite an increase in troop deployment following choxorn's arrival on the island[9]. CivGeneral got as far as the front desk before they were discovered, triggering a vicious firefight that led straight to Tōjō's office.[6] Overpowered, the captain surrendered, recalled Sasaki, and disclosed that Toyoda was in Germany.[10] Soon afterward, choxorn burst in and attempted to zombify Stylesrj[11], who released a cloud of gas and disappeared.[12] Shortly afterward, Sasaki arrived, obliterating the zombie LAATs and killing most of choxorn's immediate henchmen.[13]
With Toyoda's whereabouts finally confirmed, CivGeneral and Co. left Sasaki to deal with his subordinate officer. CivGeneral met with Ishikawa and a Coruscanti task force delivering humanitarian aid to Kitami.[13] Ishikawa cautioned them that after the casualties Our Heroes had inflicted on his personnel, Toyoda might attempt to evade them.
He should have been worrying about Grievous.

Breaking Bad's Bryan Cranston to Go "Home Again"
For years Bryan Cranston was best known to many as the laughable father on "Malcolm in the Middle." Times have changed for Cranston though, who now has a much larger profile courtesy of a hit television series Breaking Bad and upcoming high-profile movie roles.
Cranston is going to have another go at writing and directing when he adapts the David Wiltse novel "Home Again" next year. The story involves a family that leaves the hustle and bustle of a big city, only to find the same problems in the backyard of their new home in Cascade, Nebraska. The father, a former FBI agent, finds himself fighting the same battles he dealt with before, while trying to rebuild his connection with his family.
Cranston's star has been on the rise in recent years due to his success as the lead man on AMC's "Breaking Bad." The actor had previously written, directed, and starred in "Last Chance," but the film enjoyed limited success.

Sup again PB peeps,
You may have noticed a theme change took place sometime last week which was a bit random and went very much unannounced — up until now. Tbqh, I was bored and decided to experiment a little with new themes, to the more observant PB peep you may have noticed several theme changes before the current style was settled upon.
So after a week of trying a new theme on, what do you peeps think? Is the current style good as is or should PB revert to the old style?
The NewTheme vs The OldTheme
In any case, I would like to announce that PB's twitter has gone public again after spending a month or so in private-mode. Either see the latest posts here on the site's menu or visit PB's twitter to become a PB stalker.

Articles Posted in Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court
Kiribati Seafood Co., LLC v. Dechert LLP
Under the circumstances of this legal malpractice action, a court's error of law was a concurrent, not a superseding, proximate cause, and therefore, recovery was not barred to the plaintiff client even where the defendant attorney was negligent for failing to prevent or mitigate the legal error. Plaintiff brought suit against Defendant, its former law firm, alleging that Defendant was negligent in failing to provide a French appellate court with evidence that the court deemed necessary for Plaintiff to prevail on a claim, which the court denied. The superior court granted summary judgment to Defendant and denied partial summary judgment to Plaintiff, concluding (1) the French court committed an error of law in requiring this evidence, and (2) even if Defendant were negligent in failing to provide the evidence to the court, Plaintiff could not recover damages for Defendant's negligence because the court's legal error was a superseding cause of the adverse action. The Supreme Judicial Court reversed, holding that the trial judge erred in granting summary judgment to Defendant and denying partial summary judgment to Plaintiff. View "Kiribati Seafood Co., LLC v. Dechert LLP" on Justia Law
Padmanabhan v. Board of Registration in Medicine
The Supreme Judicial Court affirmed the judgment of a single justice of the county court dismissing Petitioner's petition for relief in the nature of certiorari pursuant to Mass. Gen. Laws ch. 249, 4. After Petitioner, a medical doctor, was terminated from his position, the Board of Registration in Medicine (board) commenced disciplinary proceedings against him. The board referred the matter to the Division of Administrative Law Appeals. Following an evidentiary hearing, a magistrate issued his recommended decision. Petitioner filed a complaint in the nature of petition for a writ of certiorari arguing, inter alia, that his due process rights had been violated during the course of the board proceedings. The single justice dismissed the petition without a hearing. The Supreme Judicial Court affirmed, holding that the single justice did not err or otherwise abuse his discretion in dismissing the petition. View "Padmanabhan v. Board of Registration in Medicine" on Justia Law
