SUMO - Hugo
From site: Student Union Movie Organization
I hear this movie is magical. And makes you have warm fuzzies. Perfect for 9th week!
Hugo is a 2011 American 3D adventure drama film based on Brian Selznick's novel The Invention of Hugo Cabret about a boy who lives alone in a Paris railway station. It is directed by Martin Scorsese and written by John Logan. It is a co-production of Graham King's GK Films and Johnny Depp's Infinitum Nihil. The film stars Asa Butterfield, Chloë Grace Moretz, Ben Kingsley, Sacha Baron Cohen, Ray Winstone, Emily Mortimer, Jude Law and Christopher Lee.
Hugo is Scorsese's first film shot in 3D, of which the filmmaker remarked: "I found 3D to be really interesting, because the actors were more upfront emotionally. Their slightest move, their slightest intention is picked up much more precisely." The film was distributed by Paramount Pictures and released in the U.S. on 23 November 2011.
The film received enormously positive reviews, with many critics praising the visuals, acting and direction. Some critics called it the best 3D visual event of the decade. At the 84th Academy Awards, Hugo received five Oscars—for Best Cinematography, Best Art Direction, Best Visual Effects, Best Sound Mixing, and Best Sound Editing—and its 11 total nominations (including Best Picture) was the most for the evening. Hugo also won two BAFTAs and was nominated for three Golden Globe Awards, earning Scorsese his third Golden Globe Award for Best Director.

It's important to check and maintain worn window guides, tracks, and seals. The majority of window regulator failures are a result of a lack of inner door maintenance. You'll find that some basic maintenance goes a long way to help keep your power window system in proper working order. In most cases the existing regulator and guide components have worn simultaneously and may provide satisfactory performance until the regulator eventually fails due to another part in the system failing because it is completely worn out. The life span of a new window regulator will be greatly shortened if your vehicle has worn, dry or dirty guides and tracks. The operation of your window must be carefully inspected before installing this part. Any worn components must be replaced prior to installing this regulator, make sure everything is serviced, cleaned, lubricated and adjusted to manufacturer's specs. It's possible that warranty claims will be denied if these procedures are skipped.

Have you tried any ripper? Like dvdfab decrypter. It might work on home burned discs too.
Try also on another computer/dvd drive.
Sounds to me like you've got Autorun enabled on that PC, and that when inserting the disc, the "player" app (which could very well have VIRUS and/or ROOTKIT code in addition to "player" code) is taking control and not letting any disc copying occur.
Simple way to bypass this is:
1. Try loading the disc with Autorun temporarily turned off for that disc (usually by holding down [SHIFT] key as the disc is being inserted & loaded).
2. Turn off Autorun in general for that drive (permanently?)
3. Turn off Autorun in general for ALL drives (permanently?)
Do us a favor and try to play it in a settop DVD player. Does it work there? If not, you actually don't have a VALID DVD title (and life gets a little more complicated).
Thanks for the reply Everyone
DVD decrypter.... and in it..it displayed files sizes as 2kb and 1kb not more than tat???
sounds like you've been infected with an autorun virus or trojan. they were used for a while to block copying of discs, but others were also used for injecting trojans.--

There is of course the screen capture route you could take. Or since it does play in the settop player use a capture device on your computer to do a realtime dub of it.
This would be a necessary short term step to take until you could find the appropriate tool to extract the original video digitally.Donatello - The Shredder? Michelangelo - Maybe all that hardware is for making coleslaw?
Generally when faced with problematic dvd's such as these I used clonedvd to make a copy (udf/iso) then mount the iso in a virtual drive ... from here dvdfab hd decrypter to complete the rip.
well i tried with dvd decrypter and nero to back it up.. but in dvd decrypter... the progess was 0% for more than 30 mins... and nero just ejected the dvd tray and showed a error.....
Your PC is probably already BORKED with the autorun. And, NO, just because Autorun may be enabled doesn't mean that you have to "see something happening". It may have just INSTALLED an asset-locking mechanism as a system service, and BOOM, now you CAN'T copy from that PC, even if you subsequently TURN OFF autorun.
Like I said above, it needs to be run in a PC that ALREADY has Autorun turned off, so that the 1st attempt is a KNOWN, CLEAN attempt.
i'm guessing at this point that the disc itself is defective. dirty/scratched/bad sectors or just plain poor quality. it may still play in a standalone as they use the error correction on the disc to skip bad spots, but on a pc it renders it unreadable. try in a different pc with another drive as the laser may be better suited to the disc.--
"a lot of people are better dead" - prisoner KSC2-303
Okay i tired ur suggestion... Inserted a disk in a freshly formatted pc with autorun turned off.... but still i couldnt copy???it really looks plain and poorly done i mean the dvd cover and all.. so it must be user created not professionals....
Especially since:
well but it runs on my friends pc...
edit: can you show us more clearly and completely the list of files (and their sizes) in the VIDEO_TS and PLAYER folders?...
Also, have you tried ISOBuster?

Chrysler Sebring Starting and Stalling Problems
snowdogdt Posts: 2it shows no codes and the battery and alternator test good.
Sounds like a bad ground somewhere..
Ok. I am really frustrated with this car. April '10 I purchase a 97 Sebring Convert. It was a one owner car who apparently kept in excellent condition and it looked and ran like a dream. Well, for the first yr it was great until the winter hit. I hit a deep pot hole. All was fine for another couple of months, the my passenger side ball joint, arm and axle all broke $660.00. Then it went into limp mode on a constant basis. I would have to pull over, turn the car off and then the restart it in order to continue on my way. Well, my mechanic said that it was some wiring and sensors, had those replaced $380.00. No sooner did I leave the lot that it went into limp mode again. Mechanic said it was the main computer. Had that replaced $580.00. After about 3 weeks of fabulous driving, I crossed an intersection and it was like my car hit a brick wall. Everything died. Mechanic towed it and it took 2 weeks to figure it was the distributer assemby. had it replaced 650.00. After another week of great driving it went into limp mode again. Turns out the PCM is bad now. Needs to be replaced. $550.00. So I shouldn't have any problems at all now except for a tiny oil leak and a small exhaust leak in the engine. Mechanic said I can still drive it with no problems until I can get it fixed at an oil place. Ok I said.
Well, here I am a month later with a dead car in the driveway. Why? Because as I was driving today my car started to act like it was out of oil and gas. Sputtering, coughing, lerching, jerking and then it would all die. Turn the car on immediately after and it is shaking so much you almost get sick! I had to pray for green lights because the minute I take my foot off the gas it starts to shake and shudder and then stall out. Unless I get a green before it can and I punch it and it slooooowwwly makes it's way up the road and then it lunges forward and runs normal until I take my foot of the gas and then it crawls. I can't seem to get a definitive answer for this.
Has anyone had this problem?
Can I fix it myself? As you can see, Im already well over 2000.00 in repairs for this car.
It has 116K miles on it and it's from Florida.
This car has been a thorn in my mechanics side for months now.
What is going on?!!!!!
Please Help
Thank you in advance.
Mitsu V6? or the 4 banger? Can you get the codes? My first guess would be MAF.
Whenever im at a stop in traffic my car idles very low. shakes and then cuts off. it will start right back up. Also not getting any gas to the enigine when first taking off. Putting it in the shop Monday but want to give the mechanic some ideas so im not throwing away money. Should i tell him to start with the cranshaft sensor????
Year of car, engine? Does it do it all the time? recent issue is this after sitting for a bit and does the engine light come one?
First thing to check is MAF ... MASS AIR FLOW a bad one will cause stalling, rough idle, stalling and the car will usually start right back up but lack power.
The Mechanic needs to check the engine Code first before anything else. You should check them also so it will give you a general Idea what could be wrong .. Run the car for a bit so its warmed up about 2500 rpm cycle through everything Reverse, drive neural turn AC on off etc..then turn the car off.
With engine not running turn the ignition key to ON, OFF, ON, OFF and then ON again (do not start the car or crank then engine)
You must do it with-in 5 seconds the codes will begin to flash.. The light will blink the numbers first digit then pause the second digit.. EXAMPLE..
The cam sensor will flash pause flash that is code 11.
Intake Air temp sensor is code 23 it will flash flash pause flash flash flash.. Just examples....
Its a 2003. I put it in the shop last Monday. Mechanic just called and said he doesnt know what the problem is and cant fix it. Said he is putting the engine back together and that i can pick it up on Thursday. :confuse:
I will do the the on and off thing you mentioned when i get it back and maybe that will help me out.
Also, It only starts stalling out when the car heats up. When i first drive it it will run fine like nothing is wrong with it. After about 15 minutes of driving, the enging will heat up, and im in trouble.. thats when the stalling starts.
I only owe about $2500 more and ive already put soo much money into fixing this car i dont think i can handle throwing away any more money if whats wrong with it is a MAJOR problem. :sick:
Should i just try taking it to a dealership and see what they can do for me? Maybe trade it in or something. Im a female and i just dont wanna be screwed out of any more money. CHRYSLER SUCKS!!
Thanks for the advice.
Ok my'97 was doing the same thing.
What happen was. The Distributor assembly burned out the first time. Had that replaced and it still didn't help all that much so took it back and found out that the 3 spark plug cables under the manifold had corroded and were arching to all the metal around them, including my new distributor effectively burning it out again causing me to stall and cutoff like I wasn't getting any gas. Now that it's all been replaced, she runs fine, not perfect, but no more engine light or stalls.
jamesjt Posts: 1I have the same problem with my 07 2.7L sebring. I brought the car back in 2009 as a 2nd hand. after drove for a few months, the car started stalling when idling or stopping. i ve tried to dismount the battery and restart the car computer, but nothing seemed working at all. i asked staff at Canadian tire staff and he told me that it may have many reasons behind it. too bad that i can't return to the dealer cause the warranty is over. ps, usually my car stall right after i put it into a full stop.
jalve Posts: 1It sounds like the hydraulic valve lifters. I had mine replaced and the noise went away.
I have a 2001 chrysler sebring lx . when i drive it and the car gets warm and i shut it off then come back out to start it the car will crank over but won't start till it cools down then sometimes when it starts the engin will act as though it can't find it's idle then smoothes out and runs fine I have replaced starter relay the E.S.D. relay and the camshaft position sensor each time i replaced a relay it would start and run fine for 2 or 3 times of start and restart after warm even disconnected the neg post to battery to try to reset computer didn't change anything still having the same issues went to autozone to get a diagnostic and all it read was abs so i don't know what it is but it seems like it' a relay or fuse to me any ideas???
dancer13 Posts: 1I read that your dad is a mechanic and you have the same year sebring i have. I would like to know what is draining my battery. if i do not start my car at least every two days the battery dies. had the battery tested and it is good
toledogrl29 Posts: 1its most likely a map sensor or the crank sensor found out the hard way
mlovejoy Posts: 108 sebring. 2.4 engine. It shut off at a red light today, no warning, no engine light. I know there was a recall about the wiring and TMS but I called Chrysler and they said it had been fixed. Called a dealer next. They said not to even bring it in unless the engine light was on. I seen there were a lot of complaints about this. I can't really drive a car that shuts off. Any one know what the problem is?
chromedbagr Posts: 3Hello, I have a 97 LXI sebring with the 2.5 v-6. I have had it to a reputable garage for very fast idle of 1400-1500rpm's. When driving it seems to have no power , The garage showes no codes, and is getting good fuel pressure through the lines. I am not sure where to go at this point, it is in excellent condition with 146,000 miles, I did not get into replacing wires and plugs just yet due to the removal of the intake, but am hesitant only to do that because I have never seen that cause a motor to run fast, but thats why I am looking for help, there is an aweful lot I do not know yet, which way should I go to troubleshoot this problem further. Thanks
keikei7115 Posts: 1I have a 2007 sebring... when I went to work the car was fine when i got off that night went to the store to put gas in went to started the car it didn't start. all the lights come on, radio and horn work but the will not started i tried to jump it to see if is the battery but no help, This is first time it ever did that. :confuse: :confuse: SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME OUT!!! mother for 3 kids my only cay
I've had several older Sebrings. Every time that's happened, it's been a wire or connector has come loose somewhere. Visually inspect everything for that. And/or have it checked for a code. A parts store will do that for free - if you can get it there. If it starts and runs, by accident, have it tested anyway - cause it may do that again. Wish I had a 2007....
Ok everyone here it is my 2001 sebring wouldnt start when the engin was warm... i would disconnect the negitive battery wire,reconnect it and it would start and run fine but when i shut it off and try to restart it i could hear clickig under the hood checked the fuse/relay box opened it and the relays were clicking and you could feel the relays clicking so i replaced 2 or 3 also replaced the camshaft position sensor no luck took it to an auto parts store had them hook it to diagnostic and only read abs huh not that either. took it to an auto mech and they said it was likely the ecc that is the electric control computer in the car bought a new or reconditioned ecc from napa auto parts for $435.93 .Core deposit was $62.69 after core $373.24 then had to bring the car and the ecc to the chrysler dealer to have it flashed /programmed with my car they installed @Rick hendricks chrysler jeep dealer in sc savana hwy they charged me a total of $144.30 so all in all $517.54 the car runs starts and makes me love the car again!! hope this helps
mcallaghan Posts: 1Hi, I have just got home from leaving my car in the store carpark as when I got in to start the thing I got the donE message that you had. Did you ever find out what this message means? I am searching online, but no luck finding out so far... hope you can let me know if you found anything out...
Done error code usually means the memory has been cleared or that no codes were found :shades:
i have the same problem. i checked recall items and spoke to chrysler corp about it. apparently it was a previous recall, but they are supposed to contact me tomorrow....wed, sept 18th 2012 to remedy. it seems that it is a tpms (tire pressure monitor), which can cause all the other problems, i.e. engine shutoff, electrical issues such as wipers not working, etc. i can repost once i get info if you need me to.
i spoke to chrysler corp about a similar issue w/ our 2008 sebring. it is a tpms (tire pressure monitor). don't know if yours has one, but you may want to use the same method....call corp. i'll repost when i hear from corp tomorrow, sept 18th 2012
i have a 2008 sebring. same thing....engine stall, electrical issues.i checked recalls and found a tpms (tire pressure monitor) is the cause. it will cause the engine to stall. it also will cause electrical issues. i'm waiting on claims w/ chrysler corp to contact me tomorrow (sept 18, 2012) and i will repost.
bob505 Posts: 1Any news on the TPM? I have 2008 convert'l w/elec prob. Started and ran fine. One day left cell phone to chg in console elec plug about 2 hrs with eng off. Ran batt dwn. Jumped, and ran ok. 3 wks later, engine off, radio on for about 15 min. Batt dwn. Both times, plus at another dealer chk, batt cells chk'd ok, alternator ok. Thoughts? bob505
cnewman011 Posts: 1I have an 2004 sebring gtc. I have found through research that these engines are really bad about engine sludge--which could definitely cause stalling...be sure to be vigilant with oil changes and oil treatments such as Lucas may help.
timphalen Posts: 2GET SOME MOTORKOTE AND PUT IT IN THE ENGINE OIL, TRANSMISSION, AND POWER STEERING IT WORKS / MOTORKOTE.COM ALSO IF YOU DRIVE CAR AND IT HAS TOO SIT FOR A WHILE BEFORE IT STARTS SEE IF ITS MISSING A HEAT SHEILD FOR STARTER. ALSO ALL THIS STALLING AND NO ONE SAID ANYTHING ABOUT 02 sensors. I WOULD CLEAN AND PUT DIELECTRIC GREASE IN ALL PLUGES IF YOU THINK MOISTURE IS AFFECTING YOUR CAR. ALSO CORROSINE ON BATTERY POSTS CAN LET LIGHTS WORK BUT NO START.
justjules1234 Posts: 1I recently bought a used 1007 sebring......today on the ride home it stalled but then started going again with me doing nothing..............the battery light came on
had the battery checked its 100% fine
autozone said it might be a sensor.....................any ideas? or advise
animalatr Posts: 1Thanks for the information--------where is the sensor?
jerseyg1rl Posts: 1hi,
i have 98 sebring lxi. . . .. yesturday i went to start my car and it wouldn't it just clicked like the battery had been flooded. we jump started it and let it run for bout 5 mins. i went to turn around and half way through the turn it died. so after work we jumped it again let it stay connected for a few min then let it run for about 15 minutes. again went to turn around and half way through it dies. i thought it was the alternator. today my friend comes to take the alternator off to get a new one and car starts right away no problems. she revs it a little, turns it around no problems....so we take it to auto zone down the street to have the alternator tested. (also for a year check engine light was on, now it is off and when tested says passed no codes). battery wasn't charge enough to test the alternator. take it out and inside to charge and it just wont charge. buy a new battery install and test the alternator. passed fine. back up left and went home. my friend goes to turn it around and goes from drive to reverse and it dies. put in nuetral restart go to reverse and is fine. drive down the street go to turn around and again from drive to reverse it dies. drive around the block and is fine. later go to make same turn around and from drive to reverse it dies. start in nuetral go to reverse and is fine. at a stop light it hesitatated a little before it went. got to where we were going and just to see i went to reverse from drive and it was fine. the only difference was i went in a straight line and didn';t have the wheel turned at all. . . . . could this be my power steerring or something else. my dad and several mechanic friends are at a loss and don't know what it could be. . . . . . . please help!!!!!

The Laws of Prosperity: Building a Divine Foundation of Success
by E. Bernard Jordan
In his latest work, E. Bernard Jordan builds on his bestseller The Laws of Thinking to unveil more of the spiritual truths that dictate success and prosperity.
Each of his twenty laws—from the law of employment to the law of values—is broken down into simple explanations and exercises to help the reader better understand their divine purpose.
In this provocative book, Jordan demonstrates that when living in sync with God's universal laws, economic hardship will disappear—you need only have faith, focus, and fundamental knowledge to succeed.
Divine Purpose Does Not Mean Surrendering All Wealth to God's Purpose
Contrary to what some misguided religious leaders may try to tell you, God does not want us to take vows of poverty. In fact, God wants you to be rich. He wants you to live in a mansion—but according to his condition, which is that you will use your prosperity to serve his greater purpose. That does not mean you must give all your money to charity and leave nothing with which to meet your financial obligations. It simply means that some of what you are lucky enough to have should go toward serving the passion that you feel in the depths of your soul.
This does not just apply to grand gestures by millionaires. Far from it. God works his wonders in the hearts and hands of the meek and small just as much as he does through the rich and great. As Paul wrote in Philippians 4:12–13, I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do everything through him who gives me strength.
A woman who owns a modest home and has a passion for knitting decided that God wanted her to knit and teach other women to do the same. She followed this call in her heart and her effort taught dozens of women young and old this ancient art, and they began sending handmade knitted goods to children in Afghanistan and to premature babies in American hospitals.
Doubtless this passion-born enterprise will continue to reward the woman in many ways, as it will the expanding family of people whocome together in love, watch out for each other, and protect each other during hard times. This venture did not require much of the woman's modest wealth, just her time and the use of her home. Yet she achieved wonders. That is truly being in line with God's purpose.
Ego Is the Villain that Corrupts Wealth
This goes back to an idea we have touched upon before: when we begin to believe that our brains, hard work, or virtues are the source of prosperity, we take the first steps down the road to losing it all. The truth is that everything we have is on loan from God and comes to us through his system; we have nothing that is permanently ours, save our Spirits. We came to this world with nothing and will leave with nothing.
However, the people who are the self-styled "kings of the world" can easily delude themselves into thinking that they are the sole source of their wealth and power. The danger in thinking this way is that it blinds us to the need to use our wealth to serve God's purpose. If we believe the propaganda that all we have is due to our own inherent wonderfulness, then are we not more likely to jealously guard it and hoard it, thinking that giving anything away is also giving away our status and worth? This leads to willful rejection of passion and a refusal to participate in anything that does not further our narrow perception of wealth. Wealth becomes everything and eventually it vanishes.
On the other hand, when we reject ego and think of all that we have as being on temporary loan, like a cosmic library book, from God, we become freer and more generous. What we have was never really ours to begin with; we were merely stewards chosen to share God's bounty with the less enlightened and thereby help them become more enlightened. You can see how this perspective would surely fostergreater generosity, cooperation, creativity, and joy—as well as ensure that the flow of prosperity into your life continues unabated.
It Is Not Possible to Dedicate Too Much Prosperity
You cannot overcommit your prosperity to the true works of God. It is simply not possible. When you are working in the Spirit and centered in a passion that is truly born of God, then no matter how great a quantity of your money, time, or knowledge you give away to others, more will flow into your hands as a result. It is impossible to become impoverished when you depend on God as your sole means of support.
There is a purity to the Divine Purpose of God that waxes in our lives as we come to rely more on Spirit and less on money or any other earthly, material means of subsistence. This is why ministers will tell people to give much of what they have to others if they want to experience blessings beyond measure. Creating space in your life, truly following your passion, and depending only on the Lord to hold you up provokes marvelous results from the Universe.
One of the best examples of this principle comes from a story from several years ago about a middle-aged man who left his work in the medical field because he felt called to create and build musical instruments: guitars, drums, harps, flutes, and so on. When he would play these instruments in his neighborhood, the people flocked to him, especially those living on the street. Eventually, he began making instruments for homeless men and women and giving them away, and after a while this took up all his time. He was not selling any instruments or making any money, and he went into arrears on his mortgage. But being a God-fearing man, he believed that if he kept to what he knew was his ordained purpose, God would provide.
Time passed and he went into foreclosure. The day of the fore- closure auction, the man still insisted that God would provide, though he was beginning to doubt. Then, minutes before the auction was to begin, the crowd before his house was parted by a group of more than forty street people, all carrying instruments the man had made. The leader of the group stood up and explained what the man's instruments had meant to people who usually went unseen, and told the crowd that the homeless had come to play a concert on the man's front lawn as a way of saying thanks. They hadn't known that a foreclosure auction would be taking place, and the man wondered if they could play anyway.
The group agreed and began playing jazz, blues, and classical music—not well, but with passion. After an hour, the assembled would-be buyers of the man's house were so moved by this tribute that they actually collected enough money for the man to not only bring his mortgage current but pay off the balance. It's an astonishing tale of reliance on God and pure passion.
This is another law where observation of what is going on in your life will yield valuable information. Look at how prosperity has come to you in the past. If it has not come easily, could it be because you are ignoring your Divine Purpose? Look at the history of "easy come, easy go" as it may have played out in your life. If you seem to come into wealth only to have it slip through your fingers quickly, you may be devoting your time and attention to things that are about your own ego rather than the passion that serves God. Be vigilant about your choices and try to open yourself to the passions within.

I have found my favourite b&b ever !!! I had two relaxing, comfortable nights in this amazing historic property. Peaceful nights sleep and a 2 minute walk (steep steps) into town. I have no complaints at all. Everything was perfect and the breakfasts....wow !!!!

IWe rented the Garrett loft rooms and they were quite comfortable. However, if you go in the colder weather, prepare for a cold bathroom. The bedrooms have a space heater, not so in the bathroom. Otherwise, everything was great!

Nice period furnishings, quiet. Close to "downtown." We felt spoiled. Hosts wrote a sweet "Happy Anniversary" note on the breakfast buffet table for us.

We had a great relaxing time. The hosts were attentive and helpful. The breakfast was excellent. Only drawback is the traffic noise from Highway 49.

This was my friends first time at a B&b and he was in awe of how beautiful this place is. So serene and private. Loved the fact that you can take your breakfast to your room and eat on the veranda if you wish. Food was very different but a nice change. We definatly recomend this place to everyone we know.

Staying there was almost like spending a few days in a museum after hours, but legally, without the fear of being busted. The innkeepers achieved a perfect balance of accommodating a discerning traveler with the authenticity of how things were decorated in the 19th century. Everything in the house is authentic, down to the door knobs and floor boards. Sure, you will not find a mini bar or a TV in your room, but who needs that when you feel like you're back in the gold rush era? I'm not a history buff, but even I was in awe of the house and sensed all the stories behind the old photographs, tools, nicknacks and other wonders surrounding me. Luckily, Mary Louise, one of the owners, is a walking encyclopedia of stories about the house and Nevada City area and was there to answer all of our questions once we showed some respectful interest in learning about this unique place. I especially liked that the owners were there when needed, but gave us plenty of room to enjoy the house by ourselves - another fine balance that is hard to find these days. The rooms were outstanding, the beds were comfortable and I had a few nights of best sleep I've had in a long time. The inn is a short stroll from Nevada City downtown with many fine places to dine and wine, so not having to drive there was a major plus. A delightful breakfast every morning completed a perfect experience. I am definitely coming back!

This was my husband and mine's first B & B experience. The Inn was beautiful, comfortable and spotlessly clean. We went for Mardi Gras in Nevada City, it was a big party down in the town and lots of fun, but it was even better when we went back to our very quiet, calm B&B. Of course, the only other quests at the Inn were one other couple (for one night) and a couple of our friends, so I can't speak to how it would be with a full house. Our friends and my husband and I stayed in the Garrett Suite on the top floor - two lovely bedrooms and a sitting room with a shared bath, which was one floor down but very convenient all the same. It would not be good accomodations for elderly or disabled guests as there are lots of steep stairs to climb, but there are rooms on the main floor that would be suitable. The breakfasts were spectacular, with authentic victorian era food with a modern flair. I would go back just for the breakfasts!

The hosts, Conrey and Marie Louise convey a warm, friendly atmsophere to their establishment. They are very knowledgeable about the area. The breakfast is fabulous. The location is quiet, peaceful and very beautiful surrounded by tall trees, and only 6-7 minutes walk from the main street with the restaurants and shops. We recommend the Red Castle Inn without hesitation.

We loved every second of our stay at the Red Castle. Our room was gorgeous and the breakfast each day far exceeded our expectations. I have to follow a gluten free diet and the chef provided delicious treats every day as part of the 6 course breakfast. My non gluten free husband could not tell the difference. One note, if you are a light sleeper, request a room on the side of the house away from the road. We stayed four nights and 3 of the 4 were fine but the last night there was high traffic probably due to Labor Day weekend.

This historic inn is filled with history, excellent breakfasts, accommodating innkeepers who are also knowledgeable about this part of Calif. This was one of the best vacations we have enjoyed. This is a superb location.

This was our third time staying at the Red Castle. We love it. It feels like being in a victorian tree house since forest surrounds the 4 story home. It is walking distance to Nevada City.

Beautiful rooms with wonderful decor. The grounds are lovely. Everyone was very friendly and accommodating. We would not hesitate to return.

The Red Castle Inn has authentic Victorian charm without the inconveniences usually associated with old buildings, such as drafty windows, bathrooms down the hall, etc. The Garden Room was plenty big enough for the two of us, lavishly decorated in period pieces, nice private bath, and very comfortable. The grounds are lovely, and drew us to stroll around even though we were on our way to town. Breakfast was ample and scrumptious. Our host and hostess were charming and accommodating, and seemed to fit the place. Secluded, wooded location yet close to Nevada City.

We loved having breakfast in your wonderful parlor, wearing our cozy robes.

The house is located in a lovely neighborhood, and is surrounded by many homes of character. Unfortunately, the Red Castle itself appears worn down. Paint is flaking off some walls, some carpets are stained, and the dirty windows detracted from the potentially nice views. Given the price of the room, we expected better. The bathroom towels and the creaky double bed and mattress appeared to be almost as old as the home. Amenities consisted of two miniscule bars of soap! Again, for the price we anticipated some shampoo, perhaps some body lotion, and maybe even some milk or cream with our coffee (rather than the powdered cream substitute). The room contained numerous "reminders" of the rules, which felt excessive. Also, a full-size plate would be nice for breakfast, rather than the saucer provided. Finally, if guests are advised that a B&B is vegetarian-oriented, they can choose to make a booking based on this information. We were told only upon check-in that due to the dietary request of one guest our breakfast menu would be vegetarian. To end on a positive note, the flavor of the breakfast was good.

A beautifully restored and maintained historic b&B with an outstanding breakfast! Made me wish we had more time to lounge on the veranda or in their lovely wonderland garden by the koi pond.
1,8 su agosto 09, 2010
From the moment we arrived, we assumed we must be in the wrong place! Based on raves on the website this could not be the same place! The welcome was more like an announcement of the rules by a headmaster and the owner was less than friendly. We kept our minds open and headed upstairs for some promised sun tea -- waited for over a half an hour and there was none. Off to a great dinner in town and looking forward to a nice turn down service and there was none. We expect something extra at a B & B -- not less than you get at a Motel 6! Nice soap and shampoo -- or any shampoo at all -- would do. This could be a great place - just some friendly words and a breakfast much bettter than that which was promised -- would have gone a long way. For $200 for one night we think the innkeepers could do a little something other than lecture us about the rules.

A perfect getaway up in the trees and yet, so close to shops and restaurants that there is no need for a car while visiting The Red Castle Inn. Our host spent some time answering our questions and sharing some very interesting stories about himself, Nevada City and the evolving life of the Inn. Our stay at The Red Castle Inn was wonderful, and hat's are off to the chef for two creative and great tasting breakfast's.
4,8 su luglio 27, 2010
Lovely historic inn just a few minutes out of town. Although no internet or TV, the stand out aspect of this inn are the fabulous gourmet breakfasts, prepared each morning by a chef. She changes the menu each morning, but each day was a multiple course breakfast, which included items like ham and mushroom crepes, chocolate zucchini bread, grape cobbler, brioche, broiled grapefuit with ginger-sugar, etc etc etc. We didn't need to eat again until dinner. All in all, a lovely reasonably-priced stay.

A must for your kickback time while staying in Nevada City. Add it to your bucket list! You definitely will enjoy yourselves and will want a return visit. Conley and Mary Louise will make sure your stay is perfect!

We have been guests at this particular inn at least 20 times since 1986, and we are never disappointed. The innkeepers are gracious and helpful with suggestions for dining in town; the inn itself and its surrounding gardens are tranquil and a respite from the high-paced lives that most of us live. Breakfasts at the Red Castle are a feast for both the eyes and the palate, and it is nice to be able to take a tray into your room, into the parlor, out onto the wrap-around porch, or down into the gardens as you see fit. Do not miss a chance to stay here if you are in town.

This was a lovely place to stay with a friendly host and hostess. We enjoyed our room and the parlor. We had tea soon after we arrived. It's close enough to walk into Nevada City. It was like having a glimpse of what it was like in the 1800's. Very relaxing. The breakfast was also good. We look forward to returning again.

I welcome all to visit the Red Castle Inn in the wonderful city of Nevada City, Ca. The Inn was bullt to last and iis made from a solid foundation of four stories of red brick. It's historic value can not be measured by words only by seeing it with your eyes. The owners (The Weaver's) have transformed both outside but esp. inside as though one has awoken in another time. Please visit, take a walk to Nevada City, read a book and imagine it's 1860 and you do not have a care in the world........

My wife and I have stayed at the Red Castle Inn twice now and have thoroughly enjoyed both stays. The decor is delightful and historically interesting. We enjoyed the Rose Room and its very tall, yet cozy bed. The breakfasts are to die for! If you want to step back to a time of hand-made meals and finery, this is the B & B for you.
3,6 su dicembre 25, 2009
The Inn is overall quite clean, pleasant, and with a great breakfast (if you like to eat at 830 or later). However, noise is an issue. It is very close to the freeway, and despite the very attractive grounds it is too noisy to spend much time outside (indeed, the inn has a small sign inviting guests to come inside where it is warmer and quieter). With the windows closed, the road noise is not an issue inside. However, in the Forest View room, there are other noises: the heater fan is quite loud and right by the bed, and it is controlled by a thermostat in the owner's quarters, so we couldn't turn it off (it got so warm that we had to open the door - 29 degrees outside - until the heater turned off at midnight; the owners did warn us about this). And before 6am the water in the pipes started and woke us up - very loud (maybe less so in other rooms?). A bit much for almost $200.

For my birthday we decided to sight see at the Empire Mine and visit the Draft Horse Classic. We wanted to round out the trip with a nice stay at a B&B. I searched online and the Red Castle Inn seemed a perfect fit. Our stay there was historic, peaceful and clean. The host, Conley was helpful and respected our privacy. The breakfast was wonderful. We were served, eggs ala julia child with sateed mushrooms, stuffed tomatos, two different freshly baked bread choices (cheddar biscuits and sourdough rolls), fresh strawberries San Fran style, fresh juice, fruit smoothies, tea and coffee. delicious. A red folder provided contains a great deal of the castles history. We have agreed that we must go back again and again till we have experienced each rooms individual charm. Thank you Mary lousie and Conley, you made my birthday a relaxing, memorable stay.

The pictures just do not do these rooms justice. This was a lovely b&b. The owners are very friendly and very much respect your privacy....so don't expect too much chatting until around breakfast time. The breafast was fantastic and they did a wonderful job putting it together. The Inn is in a very convienent location and has alot of history behind it. The flowers are beautiful in the spring. You are close to the freeway but not so close that you hear it from in the inn.

When I was at the red castle, I noticed that the bed in the gold room I was staying in was smaller than the "queen" I have at home, so it was cramped. Also, the breakfast was absolutely nothing like the fancy chef prepared breakfast that was advertised on the website. The pictures here do not well represent the food either. I was very disappointed with this in particular because I had decided to stay here based on how fantastic their breakfast looked on the website. I was tricked by that. Otherwise, the inn is a very beautiful and well decorated place situated in a quiet place just next to town. I love the garden. Parking is a nightmare though, and I didn't like the lady of the house all that much. It is a very beautiful place, and I wish I had stayed for tea.

We stayed here the night of our wedding, and it was fabulous! It was the cutest setting and a wonderful meal. I've heard people say the rooms were cold, but on a honeymoon night we sure couldn't tell! The location is easy to access, yet had a very secluded feel.

Great experience--excellent food! Only issue was the room was very cold. Would advise to visit in warmer weather!

Awfully sorry their visit coincided with a failure in the individual room thermostat of which we were unaware at the time. Had we been told we could have supplied a portable heater to make them toasty, but they "suffered in silence" and enjoyed other aspects of their stay, thank goodness! It has since been made right and it was the only room affected. This last weekend we had a brief storm related power failure and it got a little chilly, but we got out spare blankets and comforters and guests bundled up with hot drinks to read in the parlor by candlelight for a few hours .

I rarely give top marks (because I don't think people will believe me) but the Red Castle Inn was spectacular. It was like walking back in time as royalty. I've been to many cute B&B's before but this one really blew me away. There were so many details in the nooks and crannys but even more so was the feeling that I had when I walked in and realized I was in for a completely different experience. The breakfast was fit for a king. They even thought to use recipes from the 1800's. Just delightful! It was like theater (and you'll understand once you've been there.) By the way, I think they could charge a lot more (so you might want to go before they figure that out) and also, by the way, I am not related to them and don't know them either. I simply loved the place and that's why I'm taking the time to write this.

I've stayed at four different places locally and this stands head and shoulders above the rest. They have lovely grounds where you will want to sit and watch the Coi fish and drink their sun tea and evening snack-- also baked at the Red Castle. The setting is serene, the rooms lovely and comfortable--you'll feel transported 100 years back in time taking all the creature comforts with you. Breakfast included homemade Danish, popovers, Italian chicken served in a "nest" (in a pastry), polenta, bananas a l'orange, tea coffee juice. And it turns out that the proprietors were very warm and kind and gave us some great local tips. Can't wait to return.

The room was OK, but not very clean, there were cobwebs around the drapes and dust and dirt were visible around/under the bed. The service was non existent, no information offered on the area, no offer of the afternoon 'teatime', no way of contacting the innkeeper if you needed anything. Breakfast was very disappointing, set up in the hallway, buffet style, not much choice, only outside to eat at tables weather permitting or in your room. We wanted tea to drink and it wasn't available, with no offer to get any for the next morning. Would not recommend this inn to anyone.

We stayed 3 nights in mid-December so that we could enjoy the Victorian and Cornish Christmas activities as well as the Inn Tours. The Garden Room was perfect with a comfortable feather bed, private sitting area and plenty of space to move around and relax in. While breakfast is served buffet style on small trays with no designated dining area, we actually found this to our liking as breakfast was very leisuring and could be taken in the parlor, one's room or in nice weather, outdoors. The foods and desserts were awesome...especially if you enjoy being able to try a variety of gourmet and period foods. The Innkeepers are both professional and gracious. We liked that while they definitely made us feel welcome, they instinctively knew when to socailize with their guests and when to just be gracious hosts and allow their guests to quietly make themselves at home. It was nice to be able to walk to the old downtown area. And we especailly enjoyed reading and glancing through their wonderful collection of books set out in the parlor. Would we return again? Yes!

In taking the time to write an independent website review these guests have given us a tremendous gift,a thank you for fulfilled expectations. Describing our style of unobtrusive attention, and other special things enjoyed by them makes the behind the scenes efforts no one ever sees still a pleasure for us after twenty plus years.

Nationwide student video competition "Security: A view from Ukraine's young generation"
The NATO Information and Documentation Centre and the Institute of Journalism of the Kyiv National Taras Shevchenko University jointly sponsored a nationwide university student video competition entitled, "Security: A view from Ukraine's young generation." Running from December 2011 to March 2012, the future journalists used their skills to present their views on national security to the public using creative and informational video reports.
On 27 March 2012, the Institute of International Relations of the Kyiv National Taras Shevchenko University hosted the opening ceremony, followed by an awards ceremony. It brought together the competition winners, participants, jury panel, as well as representatives of the university, the NATO Information and Documentation Centre in Ukraine and NATO Allies.
"The idea behind the competition was both simple and complex, as was the topic at hand," said Natalia Nemyliwska, Director of the NATO Information and Documentation Centre in Ukraine. "We were positively impressed as many students from different regions of Ukraine took part in the competition and all of them shared their personal view of security."
The competition attracted broad participation from students majoring in journalism at Ukraine's institutions of higher education. A professional jury, consisting of TV journalists, TV hosts and political journalists who teach at the Institute of Journalism of the Kyiv Taras Shevchenko National University, assessed their efforts. Participants were recognized for their efforts. Certificates and prizes were also awarded.
A video collage compiling the best student video works was produced and will be placed on the official NATO webpage. "We hope to continue this competition in the year to come. We are planning to develop this direction and hope that our partnering universities and students will support us in doing so," said Ms. Nemyliwska during her opening remarks at the ceremony.

Sometimes being a soccer player is a desk job. Take last Thursday evening, when Kika Toulouse and Marissa Diggs sat behind a table to greet fans and sign autographs for a Soccer Night Out event at Meyer Park in Spring.
The evening featured scrimmages on small fields, appearances by the pair of Dash defenders and Eric Brunner and Michael Lisch of the Dynamo. The orange sportswear and canopies glowed through the murky drizzle.
Despite the weather, there was a healthy turnout and a steady stream of people—mostly young families, it seemed—lined up to meet Diggs and Toulouse, who signed balls and boots and chatted with fans.
And yet the Dash have not even played a match yet—at least, not in the NWSL, where they open their debut season at home to Portland Thorns FC on April 12 (TICKETS). But enthusiasm has built quickly since the announcement on December 11 last year that the league would be expanding to nine teams for its second season. It was not until the following day that the name of the new club was revealed, giving the new franchise a tangible identity.
"It's amazing that we haven't even played an official game. Having this kind of support is really a testament to the city," Toulouse told HoustonDashSoccer.com. About 1,200 people turned up at BBVA Compass Stadium on February 8 to meet many of the players and staff on Dash Day. An estimated 500 spectators saw the Dash beat Texas A&M 1-0 in a scrimmage at Houston Sports Park on March 22. (The return fixture is this Wednesday in College Station.)
Walk around Meyer Park on any given day and the Houston community's enthusiasm for soccer is evident: there are goalposts galore. According to the parks' office there are 26 soccer fields at the facility. It was here that former Dynamo and U.S. national team midfielder Stuart Holden developed his talents as a youngster with a local club.
"Texas in general is a big soccer hub," said Diggs. The 21-year-old grew up in Rowlett, near Dallas, and went to the University of Central Florida. She was picked by the Dash in the second round (11th overall) of this year's college draft. "I feel like everything we've done there's been a good [attendance]. I was getting lunch the other day and I had a Dash shirt on and a few people came over and were like, 'oh yes, we've got season tickets'. It's cool to see the community supporting."
Professionals know that they are expected to act as ambassadors for their clubs, to embrace the opportunity to be role models and be active in the community. The Dash players are also educators since the league is so new.
"When the games are, when the season starts, is a pretty common question," said Toulouse. Born in Arlington, Virginia, the 24-year-old spent last year with the Washington Spirit. "A lot of people are just curious to know where we came from, whether we're fresh out of college like Marissa. Or what team we played for last year in the league. Because the league is still pretty young so a lot of people weren't even aware that we had a league."
As the second MLS club to run an NWSL franchise, after the Portland Timbers, the Dynamo are set to play a role in boosting the nationwide profile of the fledgling competition, which is the third attempt at establishing a major U.S. women's league.
Thorns FC were successful on the field and in the stands in 2013: they won the title and their average attendance was the highest in the league, underlining Portland's status as a soccer hotbed and the potential when MLS and the NWSL work in tandem.
The Dynamo's involvement provides the Dash with a large, modern downtown home in the U.S.'s fourth-largest city. In the NWSL, only Chicago's population is bigger, though their Red Stars play in the suburban town of Lisle. With an average MLS attendance of nearly 20,000 last year, the Dynamo also has an established fanbase which the Dash will try and tap in to.
There may also be a few celebrity fans if Kealia Ohai can work her connections. The Dash forward, who scored in Saturday's 7-0 scrimmage victory over Texas Tech, knows some of the Houston Texans as her sister, Megan, is married to linebacker Brian Cushing. "I've been trying to tell them, you've got to come out to a Dash game, so hopefully they'll get their season tickets and come out," she said.
"I think Houston is such a great city to have this start up in. In such a great sports city with all the teams it's really going to be cool to try and get us connected and I know with Brian and the friends that I have on the Texans I'm going to try and get them involved too. And the Dynamo players have come out to some of our games, so I think if we can make this all connected and support everyone it could be really, really cool."
As for the on-field product: "We're getting there," said Toulouse. "We're a brand-new team so we were kind of joking, everybody's technically a rookie on the team even though we have some veteran players who've played in the leagues before. But it's coming together, I think we all have the same mentality and the same goals. When everybody buys into that, progress is pretty inevitable."

New web site section: What to Expect
New web site section: What to Expect
Cool. Now if they would just call me to tell me my car is ready to be delivered! Sig 1015
That blue in the images looks very different than the blue I have seen in person. Another 2013 color, already?
I did not care for the blue based on web site pictures, but fell in love when I saw it in person. I sure hope it hasn't changed from what I saw because I really don't like how it looks on this new page!
Seems kind of weird that the taillight image they show at the bottom (the RESEVE > link) has pretty terrible alignment.
My impression from the photos of recently-delivered cars that I've seen suggests they're already better than this!
I didn't find this page helpful. The information provided is very broad. I want to know more of the nitty-gritty. What was there was information I already know. Tell me something I don't know!
As far as the pic above, I just assumed that the right-hand side of the light sticks out a little further than the left, and because of depth perception, it appears to be misaligned. Having never seen a Model S in person, I could be way off, but that was my guess.
The pictures never do justice to the car. However, were I the Telsa editor, I never would have allowed that picture to go up.

More detail definitely needed.
Couldn't resist posting this for comparison:

Hi eveyone
Cheers everyone.
thanks! talk to you next time!
thanks! have a good one!
On that note, the show is over for today. THanks everyone for chiming in during this roundtable chat about MWC. I'm signing out, too. Have a good weekend everyone.
Bye Pablo. I'll be looking for more stories from you!
That's a good point you make about Facebook's "hook and spend" -- which goes back to Junko's point about watch out for that $25 smartphone. Thanks Pablo, it was great having you here.
thanks for chiming in, pablo
Guys, I have to leave. thank you for inviting me and have a great weekend, wherever you are.
It's a war for eyeballs--Andy Grove circa 1995
Nokia did a good PR job. they have all the press there, and they introduced seberal new phones at once. I believe they have a good product for cost concious customers.
I think Nokia's move is smart. Nokia gets traction (it can run Android apps) but Google Play and apps are cut out of the deal--eyeballs go to Bing and MS services.
Right. That's the american model, Pablo.
maybe because I was not there on the ground to see the good vibe coming from nokia
I definitely see Nokia falling back into the bad habit of doing things to all people with too many platforms
Yes, I saw the keynote. I think it is online. And I saw the Gemalto Facebook SIM, to hook people with feature phones to FB and make them spend more money.
Pablo, what do you mean by Nokia having done a good job?
there are a lot of gray areas
SO you saw the keynote, Pablo? He's out of touch, eh?
About Nokia, I think they did a good job at MWC. They have promising new handsets. It is a pity that the company survival lays on the low-cost market.
rick, i do agree; when it comes to wearables, there is a whole host of issues surrounding medical devices vs. home care devices
@Junko: Yes heart meters are good for some, but them some doctors say that is too much data to interpret or be responsible to interpret--old thinking probably
I didn't like the Zuckerberg keynote. He was talking about internet for the next billion, but he has no idea about how much people can pay in some countries.
TBD what combo of sensors and smart software deliver something...really cool
Astronauts had all these things in the 60s and now we're finally getting them.
but who knows, Rick, for those who are worried about heart, that must be their killer app
@Pablo: Eric Topol spoke at the annual SIA dinner here. He was funny, pithy and smart
Zuckerberg is last.
@rick, I don't want sleep tracker either
#5 Taking fifth place was Mobile World Congress keynoter Facebook, with Mark Zuckerberg's company landing 11,276 mentions.
@Junko: I think Web access in a handset was the killer app of the iPhone--or call it a compelling use case. Not sure tracking my heart beats is compelling.
there will have to be so many different types of wearables for each of different apps
And # 5. wait for it ....
@Caleb: Agreed. Smartphone is the word gateway for wearable peripherals
but we may be getting this all wrong. I don't think there will be ONE killer app
I recommend to follow Eric Topol on Twitter. He talks about medicine and devices.
4. And Nokia's shift to Android (33,599 mentions) topped the new product launches from Sony (24,392 mentions) and HTC (14,392 mention).
I'm not waiting for the iphone of wearables. I want the best wearable for my iphone
Rick, I agree.
3. In terms of the top brands mentioned, Hotwire/33Digital said that Samsung led the way with 41,519 mentions – aided no doubt by its high-profile launch of the Galaxy S5.
no, wearables are much more at this point
caleb, yes, they are; but we are talking about something even smaller and talk to your phones
Baidu guy yesterday made an interesting comment that the wearable focus on health apps is great but not a killer app, we haven't found the iPhone of wearables yet, he said.
Max, you need a Chromebook... no Windows anymore
at least we are out of that all wearables are smart watches phase
2. IoT topped the list with 3,697 mentions by the end of Wednesday. It was followed by wearables (2,191 mentions), the connected car (1,527 mentions), 5G (1,434 mentions) and privacy (1,103).
isn't our phone an incredible wearable?
My computer is messing up -- I'm going to have to re-boot -- C U on the flip side -- Max
Susan, they are talking about 50 billion devices by 2020. It is a huge market.
did we pass v1 with the quartz wristwatch?
I am still waiting for something that will speak to me, as a consumer
ah, interesting. speaking of wearables, do we feel that we have pased v. 1.0?
#1:The Internet of Things was the top Twitter trend at Mobile World Congress, according to data from agency Hotwire/33Digital.
So talk amongst yourself
Hey, I danced with keepon, I like cute. But a cute toy doesn't effect my opinion of a phone.
Junko, not many good freebies this year, but I was not scouting for them. Last year 2,500 people got a Sony phone to try NFC
I want to post these stats that Rick Merritt pulled from http://www.mobileworldlive.com sooo pardon me if I do the Burma Shave sign thing:
certainly socks
yeah, caleb is a hard hard man
not to buy a phone. Maybe a case.
Caleb you are cruel. Cute doesn't sway you?
oh, speaking of those freebees, that's the best you got at MWC?
easily forgettable gimmick in my opinion.
@Pablo, Were there a lot of toys there?
It is cute, Junko.
of course, cute is big in Asia
that's kinda cute
They want to sell them with the phones. We got a black one after the S5 event, together with a 64 Gb microSD
are they selling it? or it's just for the show, pablo?
@Max, i never said you were. But now I know.
the kidrobot is a toy, a funny looking robot that doesn't do anything, but they have artists painting it in different ways
@Susan: @Max, Have you used tried programming an NFC dongle/chip for any purpose?
No -- never -- I don't care what anyone says -- I'm not that sort of boy!
Juno, that seems to be the case, but atendees at MWC got a special NFC case for their iPhones.
Pablo, what is it?
I'd like to know what you think about the Samsung kidrobot. I got one at the Samsung presentation, a bit quirky
So, Apple is the only hold out for NFC today?
so if people are voluntarily doing this modification, there is probably a bit of a market
I've seen people modify their phones to insert smartcards. Makes it a bit more convenient to carry.
@Max, Have you used tried programming an NFC dongle/chip for any purpose?
haha, I live in the midwest. Subwway is for food!
Basically we are talking about putting the smartcards in the mobile phone.
Caleb, Sony and Philips developed the standard. NXP is Philips' NFC company, and they provide smartcard technology everywhere. If you use a tap and pay card to use the subway, you are using NFC
@Susan: It's amazing how insulated we are, unless you are a US engineer who is tinkering with this stuff. Right Max?
I don't know -- I'm a UK engineer who happens to be living in the USA -- I can;t speak for those rascally US engineers :-)
since sony kind of shot itself in the foot with firewire by charging so much for licensing. Kind of killed their own market.
NFC seems to be a good solution to concerns over security, which are increasing all the time.
oh, i get it, caleb
Is it common for all handsets to read the 3 types of NFC now -did you see that at MWC? At ISSCC MediaTek presented a paper for a NFC A, B &F reader, but I guess it's already available in some phones now.
NFC is not for high-speed data transfers, it is for secure short transactions.
haha, that is the question every time sony pushes something of their own
Really, Junko? It's amazing how insulated we are, unless you are a US engineer who is tinkering with this stuff. Right Max?
caleb, no
Junko, you're right. In Japan is everywhere, you can use it to pay the subway, to buy groceries, to listen to music.
so is NFC going to be the next firewire?
I think the US is one of those countries where NFC feels like "new." The rest of the world has a lot of infrastructure already
yes, i saw a video online of how to program your Samsung to recognize an NFC chip or dongle that you can buy yourself. It seemed easy.
Many people talk about Host Card Emulation, now that Google supports it. It will be a boost for the mobile payments industry
Sony is pushing NFC really hard, but they actually invented it. It helps connect their devices and acts as security token.
Jessica, that's true. It will be a throw away!
Susan, NFC is very strong. I had several talks with people from NXP, Visa and other players.
If smartphones are $25-50, wearables will be dirt cheap in the future. You can buy wearables in bulk for all your future significant others!
Of course not, Max.
hmmm, good to know, caleb
I want to ask about NFC --- Pablo what did you see gadgetwise for near field communication that people could use with their phonee?
@Susan: That means when you get a new boyfriend, you have to toss the old wearable or erase it.
I don;t think my wife would like me to get a new boyfriend LOL
Huawei has installed a better mega pixel cmos sensor for the front camera
he took the first in 1839
robert cornelius
I hadn't heard the term at all until recently.
but seriously, when Richard Yu at Huawei spent close to an hour talking about selfies at CES, I got really sick
who started that any way?
Jessica, I agree. I hate that word too
that's what selective memories are for
but of course, once you break up, you want to destroy everything you recorded!
Susan, yes, guard2me.com.
That means when you get a new boyfriend, you have to toss the old wearable or erase it.
For the record, I hate the term selfie
I am just saying, that selfies are definitely good for those romantically involved
Oh no.
you know, reliving your "relationship"
I still think selfies are for the self-absorbed, but I do know of some of my girlfriends who want to record every romantic encouter of their boyfriend
Junko, so have you changed your mind about selfies?
who knew they needed a touch screen phone? Who knew they needed gyroscopes in their phone? etc
Was there a wearable there for that purpose? (I might need it soon.) What were we talking about?
Or perhaps for people who have other medical conditions that need constant (and often expensive) monitoring
actually, when I was going back and forth with our readers, I realized that I could argue for selfies
I agree Pablo
to me the best wearable is the one aimed to find people suffering dementia and others that need help.
susan, but then, they will probably forget how to use the device!
caleb, that's true; and consumers wouldn't know at this point that they needed this, right?
Actually it's not a bad idea for people who have short-term memory loss.
i mean recording your own life
sometimes they have to throw a feature in there that hasn't been asked for yet. Then people figure out great uses for it.
susan, yeah, wouldn't that be a hoot?
The wearable trend seems a bit ridiculous.
Well, I agree with you about the wearables, Junko. I lke the idea that they could be more helpful to your 86-yr-old mom for remember what she just did.
I actually think that most smartphones today have realized what were on consumers' wish list. No? What's still missing?
in addition to fingerprint sensors, you also had some interesting image sensors come up at MWC
Max, I saw something like that, but I have to go back to my notes to find it. The technology exists.
The important thing is that Europe defined GSM 25 years ago, and that changed the industry. We are still using that basic technology.
gadget wise, other than finger print stuff, what elee you guys are interested in?
i agree with you Max.
when I was living in Europe
Rick, there were several conferences, I attended the one by Neelie Kroes, VP of the EU Commission and leaders from Nokia-Networks, Ericsson, Orange and Alcatel-Lucent
I remember writing about that 3G is still not here at every MWC
pablo, i know, that was a long 14 years
Junko, there is no standard, the working group wants to have initial definitions by 2018, and trials by 2020. It took over 14 years from GSM to 3G
@Susan: The finger print sensor systems for passwords seemed hot to me.
What I want is for my phone to simply recognise me and only work for me -- and if someone else picks it up for it to start shouting "Hey! Who are you? Put me down!"
Who spoke on 5G at MWC?
They want a new definition of networks, multiwave, distributed, working on any spectrum type, adaptive to different waveforms and, most importantly, energy efficient and sustainable
kind of surprised print scanners are coming back
so, 5G is still vaporware
The finger print sensor systems for passwords seemed hot to me. The EgisTek and others...
There's a lot of debate about 28, 39, 60 and etc GHz servcies for Gbit servcies at least in urban areas, but spectrum is still not available and the tech needs work, I think
The EU Commission and the 5GPPP have commited €3 billion to develop the technology by 2020.
What did they say about 5G at MWC?
pablo, did they show any demo on 5G
Mediatek seems like a formidable challenger to Western companies
Pablo, what else did you find HOT?
Another big thing at MWC was the talk about 5G. Europe wants to take the lead again in defining the standards
even all the chinese fabless use ARM's IP
pablo, we know that
no, i meant mtk will promote their chips going into the US market
Well, ARM is a British firm and most processors such as Apple's and Qualcomm are based on their technology. But they don't manufacture anything
jessica, that's their plan. will see
Will eastern chip cos like MediaTek stop their push into the US market then?
well, more precisely, Qualcomm does by using ARM IPs
Intel has been trying to make up ground in the smartphone chip market for some time, but it feels almost half-hearted at this point
er, that's what i mean ARM. oops
exactly, pablo. that's why I think that we could even say game over for those western chip companies
ARM claims to have 80% of the smartphone market
companies to watch are all the chinese fabless guys
Jessica, I don't believe companies such as Intel and AMD can play at that level. I saw Intel at the show demostrating perfomace, not cost.
i think they are too late
amd is not in the smartphone biz
for handsets?
Do you think companies like AMD who have built their busines on cheap parts will florish with widespread cheap smartphones?
Max, the EU Commission is pushing new security and privacy rules now. It will cost American companies heavy fines not to comply.
one of the analysts that I talked to -- IDC guy -- believes that at below $50, there is still margin to be had by hardware ODMs
In Europe it is difficult to comply with emmission regulations if you don't have good shielding. Many "clones" from China do not pass
Security has got to be a big issue -- I think the cell phone companies in Europe are more on top of thsi than they are in America (much like the credit card companies -- we are so behind in the USA)
I wonder as Junko suggests if there is much money to be made on this very real market at the low end. Apple may do just fine with its high-profit slice.
when a lot of people were betting that smartphones were too expensive for chinese consumers....
Susan, the prototype I saw looked very well constructed, but it will be to OEMs to build those phones and there is no much margin to pay for good components.
remember, spreadtrum changed the smartphone landscape when it rolled out $60 smartphone platform in China
i think they are descent
i am not saying samsung and apple will go away ... but the rest will change
Yes, as Sheetal was saying earlier, will these phones be durable?
yeah it seemed like cheaper smartphones kept coming up in articles written about MWC, in different contexts too
this will change who will be the key players in the mobile world for the next five years
The MWC has many faces. Many people are looking for new devices, but the important stuff happens in the background and during the conferences. Security is a big issue now, and device management.
i am not kidding
no question. $25 smartphones. this will change everything
I wish! I'm in San Francisco (well, home sick in Oakland).
Yes Junko, let's do that. What was on the hot list at MWC
Hi Jessica, I believe you are on this side of the pond too
I'd like to hear what was hot at MWC
I like Pablo's observation that "While tradeshows are no longer the place to announce new products -- manufacturers tend to release them at their convenience -- the annual Mobile World Congress in Barcelona sometimes proves the outlier"
Thank you Junko, Rick
Great stories Pablo!
so where do we start? should we start with what was hot list at MWC?
Pablo, will you be attending EE Live! 2014?
Rick, I saw the prototype. I believe most of it is integrated in the Spreadtrum chipset. The rest is a bit of RAM and a small display.
Pablo Valerio was our reporter on the ground in Barcelona this week. It's getting late where he is, so we might not have him on for the same chat. Welcome Pablo.
I am glad Pablo is here. our man on the ground!
Yo Junko!
Hi Junko!
yo! hi, there!
For anyone else joining us, welcome to EE Times' Live Chat on Mobile World Congress. Make sure you are logged in so you can comment and join the fun.
I'd love to see the full Bill of Materials on that $25 Firefox phone sometime
functional yes... aestetic? not so much
Well, the heartbeat works by looking at small veins in your finger. The app tuns on the led flash and then you cober the lens with your fingerprint. There are several apps available for iPhone and Android
Caleb -- is your applause-o-meter working yet?
Hi Susan, Hi Pablo, Hi Caleb
Hello Max
Welcome to EE Times, Pablo!
if we're counting all the possible uses of the camera we might as well advertise them as having spectrometers!
What else did Sony guy tell you?
Hi Max, happy Friday.
Really? Wow. Interesting. I'd like to hear more about that Pablo.
Happy Friday!!!!
The S5 has a heartbeat sensor, but talking to Sony yesterday they told me how to do it in any phone. You just need an app and the camera.
Yes, but sensors get smaller every year, so at least the big museum can shrink.
I don't know, it seems every year there's a new "most sensors ever!"... it would be abig museum
I think the Samsung Galaxy S4 and S5 may be famous museum pieces some day because they're the first or one of the first phones that have that many sensors in them. They are amazing.
Wow. The orchestra? That sounds wonderful.
Thank you Susan. MWC is fun, and big! I had to run to several places to get on time for meetings and conferences. There is little time to wander around but I was able to see some interesting devices and technology.
The Samsung launch of Galaxy S5 was impressive. That was worth going to, not just to see the products but also the experience. The best was the Barcelona Opera Chamber Orchesta paying live at the Convention Center.
Hi Pablo. Thanks. Did you enjoy MWC? THanks for checking in. I enjoyed your stories and slide show on smartphones.
Susan, I don't know if I'll be able to make the chat, but I'll try. But I believe the $25 Firefox Spreadtrum smartphone will be sucessful because it supports wi-fi. There is no other phone with wi-fi in that price range.
While the phone only supports 2G Edge, the possibility of wi-fi makes the phone very attrative for cost conscious users and developing markets.
Thanks Susan...
Hi Sheetal. yes good point. Will the phone be durable or just a throwaway. $25 is still expensive for a throwawy thing. Good questions. I don't know if you''l be around in 2 hours for the chat but we'll discuss your comments then and you can come back and look at this link after the fact. Thanks for participating.
Will it be available in India?? I have bought a low cost tab cum smartphone around $70. Cant use it as phone..using only for internet browsing. There is lot of intereference when used as phone.. and once fell down the power key broke...
$25 phones fantastic. But would it be durable? Will its processor be able to handle voice and internet traffic simultaneously. Cant believe $25 phone really available...how can the mfr. afford it..
Yes, it's going to be good.
OOh! Looking forward to it! I'll be there!

I agree with CA7 that u cant force the ball to Novak but I dont think he should be limited to any number of shots, if he gets open 8 times u better give him the ball 8 times or at least 6 or 7
The Knicks waited to long to grab a specific seed in the playoff....Dantoni shouldve been fired a long time ago.
Whether we like Boston Celtics or not, u have to admire the Celtics for being the best gellin-chemistry team in the NBA, they might not be deep in depth (Perkins/Baby/Allen) anymore, but the Celtics have more design plays than Spurs coach Pop have.
all the Melo-Haters have 43 reasons to be speechless in a losing game Melo WON!!!
Last edited by Kiyaman; Apr 08, 2012 at 23:25.
Without an effective point guard the reality is Novak will be rendered limited to useless vs a great defensive team like the Bulls, Miami, etc. He can't create much seperation himself via running off screens or dribbling. He's a spot up shooter that has to be set up.
they could have switched. jr on the corner and novak on the wing.
or play the wing double stacker and then cross switch.
i bet once woody figures how to work novak properly , it will be night and day victories for games like these.
The last couple of seconds of regulation. I would have tried to get Melo's game winning shot if I wasn't in a trance state staring at the court.
Guess if I was simple in the mind...everything would be fine.

They're going to drive their car over there.
Since that one sentence makes proper use of all three "there" words, it will help you use them correctly as you write.
Now the details in simplified form.
There is a place. "Over there." "Been there, done that."
Their means something belongs to them. "The car is theirs." The car belongs to them.
They're is a shortened form (contraction) of the two words they are. If you're not sure about using they're in a sentence, substitute the words they are and see if it makes sense:
"They're going to the store."
Now try:
"They are going to the store."
It works.
"It is they're decision" is wrong because you wouldn't say "It is they are decision."
There.... Location
They're......they are
Now that the Grammar Police have checked in, can we get back to crucifying this psych broad and wondering what her O face looks like?
Thank you.
What is this thread about?

I own a 1994 K75S. 56,000 miles on a well maintained brick. I have a typical timing chain rattle at low rpms that does go away at higher revs. Smooth engine performance over all of the rpm range.
I would expect the chain to be ok. I suspect the Chain Tensioner, Tension Strap, Slide Rail and Guide Rail to be the cause of the rattle.
Is this something that I can do? I am not sure of how to remove the chain and preserve it's position in regards to timing preservation to then get to all of the parts that I need to replace.
Hoping to get rid of this really annoying chain rattle
