The uSwitch.com Mobile Awards 2011 took place on the 10th October at Paramount, an exclusive venue at the top of London's Centre Point tower.
The uSwitch.com Mobile Awards is a highlight in the mobile industry calendar bringing together manufacturers, networks and names from leading media publications.
The evening was presented by our special celebrity guest, Adam Buxton!
Fresh from a sell out run at the Edinburgh Festival Adam is probably best known for being one half of the duo Adam and Joe, winners of the Sony Gold Award for 'Best Comedy Show'.
Dedicated to celebrating the best of the mobile phone market, we've polled the nation in our Mobile Awards Survey and enlisted the help of some of the mobile industry's top names to form our Mobile Awards Judging Panel.
Verity Burns is a technology journalist and editor of MSN Tech and Gadgets. When she's not writing features, blogs and opinion on the latest in consumer technology, you'll also catch her presenting the site's video review show Hands On and hear her spouting off on the MSN Games monthly podcast with Iain Lee. Verity has written for gadget mags and websites for nearly five years, and prior to joining MSN worked at Stuff, Pocket-Lint and What Mobile.
Rob Kerr is the Editor of One Mobile Ring and a journalist with more than 12 years experience of news, reviews and feature writing on titles such as WIRED, PC Magazine, The Register, The INQUIRER, Pocket-Lint, Mobile Industry Review, Know Your Mobile and The Gadget Show. The mobile phone world is his real passion and forte, having owned a handset as far back as 1994 where he's seen them grow from just being just a business tool, to a necessity in everyone's everyday life.
Richard's love for gadgets was probably triggered by an electric shock at the age of five while poking his finger into power sockets for no reason. Since then he has managed to destroy a few more desktops and phones until he got sent to the U.K. to start secondary education, and somehow he ended up quitting uni in London to join Engadget. Richard's spent almost half of his life in the UK prior to moving back to Hong Kong, but his love for gadgets -- particularly in mobile phones -- is split evenly between the two homes.
Natasha Stokes Natasha Stokes is the editor of Mobile Choice, a UK mobile magazine and website focusing on devices and consumer news. She recently judged the Best Handset award in the 2010 GSM Awards, and chaired the judging of the eleventh Mobile Choice Consumer Awards. She also presents a video series showcasing mobile phone features. Previously, she was the media and tech editor at HK Magazine, Hong Kong's largest English-language magazine, and founding editor of lifestyle monthly Taxi. Natasha has also written for Time Asia and the South China Morning Post.
Jonathan heads up our uSwitch Mobile Phones news team. With more than 5 years experience in the technology sector, Jonathan has worked on some of the biggest stories the industry has seen. When not immersed in all things techy on behalf on uSwitch, Jonathan also contributes to the Guardian supplements, G2 and The Guide as well as MixMag magazine.
Joe Minihane is a freelance gadget and technology journalist. He has a passion for new bleeding edge tech and has worked at gadget bibles Stuff and T3, as well as a stint looking after reviews for UK tech site.
James Holland is Launch Editor at Republic Publishing, working across several new websites covering technology, design and innovation. He was founding editor of Electricpig, the UK's fastest growing technology news site and previously deputy editor of T3.com. From investigating phones that predict global weather patterns, to testing new mobiles' karaoke functions, James has seen the lot.
Gareth Beavis is Mobile Phones Editor of TechRadar, overseeing hugely in-depth reviews of every mobile phone on a daily basis, based on an embarrassing passion for shiny, pocket-friendly devices. Gareth also recently finished second in a 24 hour dance marathon and held the world record for Backwards 10-pin Bowling - but still rates mobiles as his favourite thing.
Dew joined uSwitch straight from university driven by his passion for the web and specialises in tenacious news reporting and iconoclastic comment on the latest mobile phone developments. When not writing about tech, Dew can be usually found doing photography and saving the galaxy in Mass Effect.
Leila Makki is an award-winning freelance video journalist. Her videos have appeared on TelecomTV, T3, Forbes, and CBS News where she covers the latest technology trends, gadgets and applications.

Comments about Akai Professional MPX8SD Sample Player:
Bought this a week or so ago to check it out. Nice idea, in my opinion. I was able to load some samples into my SD card. They played great and the pads are responsive. However, when I hooked up MIDI it ran into trouble. It would transmit for a few seconds and then stop. I tried everything, thinking I had done something wrong on my end. I ended up returning it. However, I will probably give this unit a second chance because I think it will be useful and handy. I wish they would go ahead and make a 16 pad version of this - simple pads that play samples and can send MIDI. By the way, the sales folks were great and very helpful.
Comments about Akai Professional MPX8SD Sample Player:
Our group is non-musical. We are a volunteer organization operating a publicly owned outdoor shooting range. To manage a safe place to enjoy shooting sports, we have a PA system and make announcements (aka issue commands) to 'cease fire' or that 'the line is safe to go downrange' and 'shooting is resumed' etc. Using a mic and a live voice is OK, but recently a volunteer created a very professional recording of these 4 routine announcements. All we needed was an easy method for the tower officer to play back the mp3/wav files with the simple push of a 'button' (aka pad). This works exactly as we had hoped and has performed flawlessly thus far. Easy to configure, a great solution for our alternative use of this sample player.
Best Uses
Comments about Akai Professional MPX8SD Sample Player:
I bought this not for a sample player, but to control my stage lights from the drum throne. My DMX lighting controller has midi control. You can program each pad for a different lighting scene, and I can easily change scenes on the fly. I can access different banks too. Most small midi controllers use USB...and connection is a nightmare. This has actual Midi out and in, via 1/8" TRS plugs, with included MIDI adapters.
As a Sample player, it is so simple to use. Simple to upload your own samples. Or just use the triggers to control a sound module.
I have it mounted to my Hihat stand so it sits just above and beyond my left knee. I can reach it with a finger or drumstick. I love it!
Comments about Akai Professional MPX8SD Sample Player:
Wow!!! What can I say? Amazing!!!! I can believe they finally made a sampler at the right price and great features. You can change tone of sample with reverb and the up and down pitch feature. This is simple to navigate through. First you have to buy sd card and format it. Its nothing hard. Then you have to run update of firmware but the website offers simple easy to do instructions. The triggers are durable and sensitive. The lcd screen is easy to find sounds. You can even do one shot, hold, or loop on each pad. The one feature missing is a metronome with looper feature for beats. The fact that it can be used as midi controller or analog makes up for that missing feature. Its worth $100.00 easy. Must buy and must try!!!!!
Best Uses
Comments about Akai Professional MPX8SD Sample Player:
This is a great unit for the money, as I got it for $85 with a GC coupon. It is definitely the best bang-for-buck in a small, self-contained unit with SD card memory and program recall. However, I wish that it had a tap-tempo feature to address live sync sample playback issues and the ability to run on batteries would also be nice.
Other than that, it seems to be performing reliably during live rehearsal (with samples created from my DAW project background vocals). It's own set of drum samples are also pretty cool.
Comments about Akai Professional MPX8SD Sample Player:
A simple way to add samples and loops or any kind of effects. Easy to program and trigger. Small footprint allows it to fit in anywhere. Use as midi controller for other gear, too.

Advances in digital technology and communication have rapidly changed the marketing landscape in the last decade – forcing both professional and personal evolutions.
Few knew the Internet's potential when it was introduced, back in the days of dial-up. But then came high-speed connections, social media platforms and smartphones – and suddenly, the Internet was no longer a "digital highway." It had evolved into a world where virtually anything would be possible. Not only would anything be possible, but things were also constantly changing at alarming rates. We're subject to more stimuli than ever. Planned obsolescence has gone into overdrive.
But it's not just tablets and gadgets that are constantly at risk for becoming out-of-date and discarded. Some days, it feels like our skills and education will soon be sent to the trash cans – virtually or otherwise. Our children have opportunities we never could have imagined, and it's going to take some creativity to make sure they can maximize them.
My personal evolution
When I was in high school, I heard the statistic that the average person would change jobs at least three times throughout their working life. Now, I've heard that number's jumped to eight, or even 15. This makes sense given how rapidly professional and social interactions are changing. Every single day a new app or social platform is being introduced. Staggering numbers of new sites go online daily. (Although, it must be noted not all websites, or social media feeds are active.) This information matters, especially if you work in digital marketing, like I do. You see the entire "networked" landscape change at lightning speed – continuously – and your livelihood, in part, depends on understanding how to best work in this environment.
This makes me wonder how to make education useful. A lot changes in the time it takes a student to complete a degree, let alone during the time it can take to enter the workforce after graduation!!
I started working in marketing in 2006, and in this one decade I've reinvented myself multiple times. I began in "traditional" media – print, radio, TV, Outdoor. I hoped to take my marketing experience anywhere, because I figured it would be transferable. In some ways, it was. But it felt like everyone worked in marketing, that there was an endless supply of experienced – or more experienced - people. By 2010, I knew I needed some more relevant experience – and that I was coming to this game a little late. I was working with a web developer on a website for a side business. I realized how important organic and paid search marketing are. I began reading about SEO (Search Engine Optimization).
Not long after, I landed my first digital marketing position at a boutique digital agency. I've been working in digital marketing ever since. But I still feel the need to constantly improve. When I entered the digital sphere, I felt I'd missed the peak of SEO – by a long shot. Now, I'm more focused on digital and social advertising. I'm considering learning UX Design or coding soon.
When I decided to start my own business, I was surprised at how unhelpful and outdated my education was. It did a great job of teaching me theories at a macro level. But I had to learn all the micro details of small business and freelance work on my own. Some of my most valuable lessons came through articles on authoritative websites, business-related podcasts and Dummies Books ... so many For Dummies books! It was like a crash course in everything from logos to business plans.
These experiences have taught me to always plan for the next move – not just for me, but also for my children.
A case for professional evolution
Sometimes, it seems there are endless ways my children could make money. Forget pre-Internet minimum wage jobs of putting burgers into fast-food wrappers. Now, kids get paid to unwrap boxes and have it broadcast on YouTube channels (although the jury is still out on the ethics of some of these practices). The myriad of new social platforms give them seemingly endless opportunities to become digital influencers – and earn tens of thousands of dollars. And it's not just youth cashing in on this trend – I recently heard of a New England couple that was selling fall leaves through mail orders! These new revenue streams may be a good thing. The economic landscape sometimes makes me fearful for my children's future. The cost of living is rising and the middle class is disappearing. Salaries for CEOs have increased 300 per cent in the last 20 years. The income gap continues to widen. Now, it seems household survival on just two incomes is impossible. The only way to shield ourselves in a time of economic recession may be having multiple income streams. Youth will have to learn to be creative and entrepreneurial if they want to stay competitive in this changing economy.
These days, there's a strong case for any business person to stay up-to-date with all technology developments, regardless of their industry. With all the different communication, automation, and project management tools, you could be missing out on ways to make technology work for you – whether by helping you increase workplace efficiency, or, as the YouTube stars show, introducing new avenues for work altogether. Economic times are challenging, precarious and competitive. Adults and youth alike need to stay informed about the latest trends, and above all, be creative and willing to experiment.
I hope to challenge my kids to be as tech and business savvy as possible.
I think it's extremely important for young people today to have an entrepreneurial mindset and to constantly look at different ways to make a living and plan their next steps. Maybe they can teach me some new things, too.

BOSTON -- Two games reveal two sides of the Carmelo Anthony coin. In Game 1, with a chance to win at the buzzer, he misses a long three. Should he have passed instead?
Game 2 on Tuesday finds Anthony with another chance to win. Glen Davis rambles over to double-team him like a bull on top of the matador. Anthony looks over his shoulder and does what he is always hearing he should do more often. Down by a point, he passes up the shot.
"You all can't have it both ways,'' said Knicks coach Mike D'Antoni, stifling a bitter laugh after the Knicks' 96-93 loss left them down 0-2 on their way home for Game 3 Friday. "He made the right play."
Anthony had conjured up one of the greatest postseason performances by a visitor under these Celtic banners: 42 points, 17 rebounds, six assists (with just one turnover) and two blocks in 44 thrilling minutes. His Knicks were absent Chauncey Billups, sidelined by a strained left knee at the end of Game 1, and Amar'e Stoudemire, who for the first time in his life suffered back spasms that limited him to four points on nine shots in 18 gruesome minutes.
"I came down a pick-and-roll one time," said Anthony of passing to Stoudemire in the second quarter. "I got in the paint and I swung it to him and I seen him just grab his back. It was just like, damn, another one of our guys are gone. Mike came up to me in a timeout and was like, 'Amar'e is done, we need you to carry us tonight.'
"My thing was to just go out there, not try to carry the team by scoring the basketball, but just doing everything. Making guys feel comfortable out there on the court, giving them a lot of confidence when they're open to shoot it. Defensively there was a lot of talking, a lot of communicating out there."
Those who view Anthony in the pessimistic, glass-half-empty way will say this is how he wanted it, surrounded by no stars with whom to share. But this loss, of all things, revealed a more enlightened truth about him. Throughout a sensational fourth quarter he elevated four second-unit teammates who wouldn't be able to even crack Boston's rotation -- Toney Douglas, Bill Walker, Roger Mason Jr. and Jared Jeffries, who failed to convert Anthony's decisive pass -- to overcome a seven-point Celtics lead and force them to score down the stretch to keep up. Anthony's final score, a flared three released after he had been bodied by Paul Pierce, put New York up 91-88 with 2:37 remaining. Thereafter the Celtics would double-team him with each catch of the ball, and each time he would circulate it to the open man. He wouldn't shoot again.
There could be no team more disappointed with a 2-0 lead than the Celtics, who have achieved success in this series mainly when frantic. If it weren't for Rajon Rondo's 14 first-quarter points scored mostly in transition (on his way to a career playoff-best 30 in conjunction with seven assists), they wouldn't have had much of any first-half offense Tuesday. Not until Pierce (20 points) asserted himself off the dribble with an array of third-quarter jumpers were they able to restore Rondo to his usual playmaking role.
Even then they needed Rondo to poke-steal Douglas' front-court dribble to create a back-door dunk for Garnett to reclaim the lead at 92-91 with 1:22 to go. But then a loose-ball frenzy scrambled the Celtics' defense, enabling Jeffries to amble in a soft layup to put Boston in a 93-92 hole with 19.3 seconds remaining. This time, Garnett responded with a winning jump hook after he had received the inbound pass deep in the left block against Jeffries.
Afterward the Celtics would react as if they had lost, knowing not only that they didn't deserve to win Game 2 but also that they're in no current position to return to the Finals. An opponent known for defensive negligence, has held the Celtics to 45.4 percent shooting over two games, well below their season average. The NBA's No. 29 rebounding team (in terms of rebounding percentage during the season) out-rebounded them 53-37 on Tuesday, including 20-to-9 on the offensive boards -- a grim recreation of the Game 7 rebounding collapse that cost Boston the Finals last June. Its issues on the glass were inflamed by its unproductive bench and its poor team defense against Anthony. "That's why you don't like to trap ... because we had to go trap, we were less one guy on the glass," said coach Doc Rivers, who blamed his bench for enabling Anthony's revolt. "When the bench came in the first quarter, Carmelo hadn't been scoring, Amar'e was physically struggling -- and then Carmelo caught fire, he had back-to-back three-point plays. We didn't close out any quarter."
That last part was true, other than their play at the very end.
"I'm extremely happy, I think you can tell that,'' said Rivers glumly. "We're going to have to be better -- we're going to have to be much better in New York -- to win the games. And we will be."
But so may be the Knicks, if they can find a way to pair Stoudemire's 28-point performance in Game 1 with Anthony's showing Tuesday. Anthony had 16 points, 10 rebounds and four assists by halftime to push New York ahead 45-44, and his 14 points in the third were all that kept the Knicks in it as Pierce and Ray Allen (4-of-4 in the quarter overall, including a trio of threes) tried to pull away. It has been easy to criticize Anthony since Denver has exploited his absence, improving since his midseason departure, but that trade looked suddenly and exceedingly smart for New York as he punished the Celtics in every area while exposing their most pressing weaknesses they must fix -- quickly -- this postseason.
Most impressive was his inspirational impact, as Douglas, Jeffries and Mason (who hadn't been expected to make a meaningful appearance in this series) made crucial plays around him. "I made other guys better," said Anthony matter-of-factly. "They felt confident out there when they got the ball to make something happen. For the most part we played great tonight. We can't hang our heads over something like this. We've got to take this and build on it going back home."
But the best advice is hardest to absorb: Surely, Anthony was wondering what his final pass might have done for his new team as well as his own reputation. He zipped the ball inside to the 6-foot-11 Jeffries, who had played 138 minutes before the Rockets bought him out in February to let him join with the Knicks. With Garnett closing in, Jeffries tepidly tried to shuffle an interior pass to Walker that Garnett stole while remaining in bounds.
A long wait resulted with a timeout being awarded to Boston with 4.1 seconds remaining, while at the other end of the floor Anthony raised his arm to Jeffries to ask why he hadn't gone straight up for the lay-in or dunk. Then a final indignity: A sideline inbounds to Delonte West flaring into the backcourt caught the enervated Anthony off guard, and he was unable to foul until all but six-tenths of the final second had run out.
"My message to them after the game," said Anthony of his teammates, "was Boston didn't do anything but take care of home court. Now we've got to go home and do what we've got to do."
Now he faces the hardest part of any young star's career. He made the right plays and failed anyway. What will he do next time?

Spring is here, at long last. I was outside yesterday and heard a pileated woodpecker calling. He was close....and I finally spotted him high in a tree above our coop. I ran inside to get my camera and long lens. Of course, by the time I got back he was gone. A song sparrow was my substitute.
Most of our birds are back now. Just the hummers left to come. Evening Grosbeaks, Purple Finches, Gold Finches, Red Winged Blackbirds, Doves, Nuthatches, Downy Woodpeckers, Sparrows....it's wonderful to welcome all of them back. We have a pair of Red Tailed Hawks, who soar high above our fields...such a feeling of peace to watch them.
Welcome, spring! It's good to have you back.

Toyota says they have found a solution and lots of woners are hoping so as they are stuck in neutral waiting to find out for sure.
Is your Toyota safe to drive?
And what should you do if the uncontrollable acceleration happens to you in the meantime?
When will your dealer get the repair parts for the gas pedal recall?
Well, you have heard our version and have seen lots of everyone else's version in the press and on the internet in the last two weeks.
To read what Toyota is saying, click here: http://blogs.consumerreports.org/cars/2010/01/toyota-closer-to-accelerator-fix.html
It's a page by Consumer Reports that gathers all sorts of info on the gas pedal problem and what Toyota is saying and what other experts are thinking.
Meantime, if you have a recalled Toyota with the sudden acceleration defect, call us if you live in Ohio or Kentucky. We can tell you what to do. You may be able to get your money back or a new car or compensation.

Well, you have gone done it now since your revenue at risk.
So Youtube is getting changes because Google is on red alert from the controversial placement of ads on the platform. This is an overwhelming account freeze on Google's clientele because of improper video channel getting ad venue and lack there of control to keep such revenue from an unacceptable source.
The change that Google is suggesting limiting ad payment (or Monetize) for videos til they reach 10,000 views in the channel's lifetime. This does mean you need to build up views on your video to get money from monetization. Google hopes to cut revenue to spam/hate or channels breaking their youtube policy. This is normally an issue as youtube has been avoiding enforcing their policy for too long and unwilling to get proper staff to handle Issues that occur.
Wait wait… but I had an account as a partner for like ages… I don't have 10k views yet this means I lose any income?
Well what people been saying, 10k views is about 10 USD in revenue generally. To get paid you need 100 USD owed and setup to get the money so from one channel you need 100k views or more. So honestly that isn't an issue as money isn't really made til you hit that milestone.
What I hope "new" channels are going to be affected by this change. However, older channels under 10k will be hit as well and should be warning of things to come. As making youtube videos isn't for everyone more-so as getting starting making money from them takes more work. This shouldn't be a problem if someone has a user base that will view your videos IE a community or forum.
What are my thoughts?
It's annoying, to say the least, so my thought is it might be good or bad. I can't say but sucks because it took major corporations to get google to get in gear to even 'try' and fix the problem (at least one of them anyway.)

Climate change is a change in the statistical distribution of weather patterns when that change lasts for an extended period of time (i.e., decades to millions of years). Climate change may refer to a change in average weather conditions or in the time variation of weather around longer-term average conditions (i.e., more or fewer extreme weather events). Climate change is caused by factors such as biotic processes, variations in solar radiation received by Earth, plate tectonics, and volcanic eruptions. Certain human activities have also been identified as significant causes of recent climate change, often referred to as "global warming".

Real-time processing of in-store data
Sensors & data
Wi-Fi, Bluetooth beacons and other in-store sensors
Walkbase supports a variety of positioning and counting technologies, including Wi-Fi, Bluetooth beacons, cameras and beam counters. This way we can guarantee best possible precision whether analytics data or real-time location based marketing. By carefully selecting technologies that can adapt to varying store environments we're able to deliver best in class accuracy, no matter what kind of layouts you might have.
All our in-store technologies are fully integrated with our cloud platform, meaning that there are no middle layers involved. This allows for a streamlined service setup and minimum friction for IT.
In most cases, we are able to take advantage of existing Wi-Fi or people counting infrastructure, making deployments faster and generating additional returns to existing investments. If you already have an existing people counting solution then contact us to find out more.
To dive deeper into the technology behind Wi-Fi based analytics and to learn how it compares to other sources of customer behaviour data, get our free Wi-Fi Analytics Buyer's Guide.
Incoming data from existing in-store sources
On top of our integrated sensor hardware, the Walkbase incoming data service is capable of capturing live data feeds from a large variety of 3rd party data sources:
- Existing Wi-Fi installations
- Point of sale data
- People counters
- Marketing campaigns
- Weather data
By gathering all the data relevant to your business needs we are able to give you maximum value out of our analytics capabilities. We offer many levels of integration and together we can help you get the most out your existing solutions.
Indoor positioning
Accurate indoor positioning
Walkbase has been a leading developer of indoor positioning technologies since 2008, focusing on scalable and real-time positioning solutions. By leveraging our understanding of indoor positioning we've built a solution for indoor analytics that is easy to deploy, very accurate and, most importantly, real-time. It works with our sensors and 3rd party Wi-Fi network providers.
The key to a scalable positioning platform is making sure that it works in varying environments and is able to handle potentially severe signal distortions. Our positioning platform also automatically detects and adjusts for changes without requiring constant recalibration.
Installations are as easy as plugging in a sensor at an agreed location or marking where an existing access point is located. There is no need to perform extensive on site calibrations, making deployments very efficient.
Real-time processing
Real-time insights and engagement
Consumers are increasingly demanding instant shopping gratification anytime anywhere. In-store digital marketing is struggling to offer the personalisation and immediacy that online retailers have been able offer for years. Moreover, stores are rapidly being equipped with multiple sources that collate real-time data. When you multiply this with thousands of customers per day in every store, there is a huge amount of data to crunch through. Many existing retail data management systems are unable to process this.
The Walkbase analytics platform is built for lightning fast performance and industry leading accuracy. By having a real-time platform you're able to react to changes as they happen rather than read about them later. It allows retailers to get informed of customer behaviour patterns real-time, and then react and engage immediately to create truly personalised customer experiences.
API's and SDK's
The entire Walkbase platform is built on top of our own public REST API's, meaning that what we have got you can get as well. Our main focus is on delivering the mission critical metrics that you use to run your business -- how you want them delivered is up to you.
Walkbase engage offers an SDK for developing mobile apps that are connected with the Walkbase engage platform. This adds all the indoor location capabilities to your app you'll need, covering both Android and iOS. Engage allows you to set detailed rules on which types of engagements you wish to trigger, to which customers, when, and at which location. The Engage dashboard will keep you up to date with how your campaigns are progressing.
Powerful deployment and admin tools
Walkbase has created an enterprise grade deployment and monitoring tool for streamlining the adoption and use of the Walkbase solution. The tablet and desktop optimised tool offers full control over all your installations and delivers advanced monitoring and reporting services that are required for 100% service up time.
With the deployment tools you're able to:
- Plan and prepare large installations with the mapping tools
- Monitor existing installations
- Perform updates on sensors
- Manage beacon installations
- Manage 3rd party integrations
- Control user permissions
- Remote troubleshooting
- Track support tickets
- Guide support engineers remotely
World-class privacy protection and security
Walkbase's development has always been based on maintaining very strict privacy standards at the core of the product - ensuring improved, enhanced and secure shopping experiences. Walkbase is a founding member of the Privacy SIG, abiding by some of the world's strictest privacy standards.
All device IDs are hashed at the sensor level with a patented method, even before passing to the network, unless they are on a specific exception list due to a consumer opt-in for marketing.
Similarly, beacon control and security is built in to the Walkbase architecture, ensuring 3rd parties do not "hijack" a retailer's beacon network. This proprietary beacon security technology guarantees our clients have full control of their beacon infrastructure
Walkbase provides a retail analytics solution for improving the impact of marketing on physical stores and personalising in-store shopping experience.

Threats to Diana with this build
|His Dmg is a joke against yours
Hey Guys its me, Knirpsipirpsi, I'm from Euw and playing since about 4 Years.
Diana was my Midlane Main Champion for a long time, but due to the new Guinsoos and the Season 6 changes, I started playing her in the Jungle, and its completly CRAZY o.O So here's my short Guide on How to play Diana the best way ;)
I Hope you all enjoy reading this little Guide, and if you have any Questions or Comments, just write me!
Knirspipirpsi, aka Joschua
Passive-Moonsilver BLade:
Diana permanently has 20% bonus attack speed, and cleaves nearby enemies for 20 - 250 (based on level) (+ 80% AP) magic damage on every third basic attack within 3.5 seconds.
Tips: Very Simple here. More AS=More AA=more often your passive. Thats all you need to Know.
Q-Crescent Strike:
Active: Diana unleashes a bolt of lunar energy that travels in an arc, dealing magic damage to enemies hit and afflicting them with Moonlight for 3 seconds, granting Sight of them for the duration. Magic Damage: 60 / 95 / 130 / 165 / 200 (+ 70% AP)
Tips: Use it to gain Vision of your Victims before they enter a bush or becoming sealth.
W-Pale Cascade
Active: Diana shields herself for up to 5 seconds and creates three spheres that orbit her for the duration, detonating upon contact with an enemy and dealing magic damage to nearby enemies upon detonation. If all three spheres detonate, Pale Cascade's shield is reapplied, stacking with its original shield, and its duration is refreshed. Shield Strength: 40 / 55 / 70 / 85 / 100 (+ 30% AP)
Magic Damage per Orb: 22 / 34 / 46 / 58 / 70 (+ 20% AP)
Tips: Use this in every 1vs1 or when you are fighting! This Spell keeps you alive!
Active: Diana reveals and draws in all nearby enemies to her location, slowing them for 2 seconds afterwards.
Tips: You can stop channeling effects with that Spell like Nunu ult.
R-Lunar Rush
Active: Diana dashes to the target enemy, dealing magic damage.
If the target is afflicted with Crescent Strike, the effect is consumed on all enemies and Lunar Rush's cooldown is reset. Magic Damage: 100 / 160 / 220 (+ 60% AP)
Tips: Use it after your Q, so if they flash away you can Jump on them again.
Here are some short basic combos you need to know:
Jungling: Activate W, Hit everyone with Q and try to hit as many as possible with your Passive
Ganking: Q-R-W-E-AA-R(If they try to escape)
A useful Tip: If you are fast enough, you can use your R and Q midair to gain the reset. Better try this in a custom game first!
Pros / Cons
+High Burst
+Good Shield
+Amazing 1vs1
+Mixed Dmg
+High Mobility
+CC on her W and E
+Assasin, Tank and Fighter
-Not the best pre 6 jungling
-Cant gank pre 6
-No real escape
As you see, I prefer Fevor of Battle on Diana, because it makes your AA even stronger. Magic Penetration is aswell better then the Armor penetration, cuz your passive on every 3rd AA deals magic dmg, like all of your abilities.
Here its a mixture of ad, ap, as and resistance.
You can choose from that 4 classes anything you want. My prefered Runes you can see on the top.
So, as I said, its just a very short Guide, but I hope you all enjoy playing here this way! Im really glad if you leave me a comment or vote :D
Have a nice day and good luck!

After 41 years with the world's largest fast-food chain by sales, McDonald's Vice Chairman-CEO Jim Skinner will retire at the end of June. President-Chief Operating Officer Don Thompson will succeed Mr. Skinner as CEO on July 1.
"Jim's stellar leadership has driven unprecedented momentum at McDonald's," said Andy McKenna, chairman of McDonald's board, in a statement. "Jim has brought to the table exceptional knowledge of McDonald's restaurant operations and a keen sense of business know-how. ... As we look to the future, the board has every confidence that Don's strategic leadership and global business insight make him the ideal CEO. His track record of performance as president and COO of McDonald's Corp.and president of McDonald's USA speak to his qualifications to further drive the company's momentum."
Mr. Skinner, 67, became CEO in 2004 after then-CEO Charlie Bell, who had cancer, resigned. He later lost his battle with the disease. Mr. Skinner, along with Mr. Bell and the late Jim Cantalupo, had been one of the architects of McDonald's "Plan to Win" turnaround effort, which has been the company's strategy since its inception in 2003. Former global CMO Larry Light, the brains behind "I'm lovin' it," oversaw the marketing for the turnaround.
"Doing what's right for our customers and our business has driven my passion as CEO of McDonald's," Mr. Skinner said in a statement. "I'm honored to have served and earned the trust of the board, our shareholders, franchisees, suppliers, and the men and women of this great company. Don Thompson is well prepared for the CEO role, and under his leadership, our company will continue to meet the needs of our 68 million customers around the world every day."
Mr. Thompson, who joined McDonald's in 1990, became the chain's COO in January 2010. Before that , he served as president of McDonald's USA.
"Our management team is strong and will remain focused on the Plan to Win and on our three global priorities -- optimizing the menu, modernizing the customer experience and broadening our accessibility to even more customers," Mr. Thompson said in the statement. "Our franchisees, suppliers and employees are committed to ensuring that McDonald's is our customers' favorite way and place to eat and drink."
McDonald's, by far the largest advertiser in the U.S. in the restaurant space, spent $963 million on measured media in 2011, according to Kantar, up 8.6% from 2010. The chain earlier this month launched a new campaign for its Happy Meals, focusing on nutrition.

THE NUTTY PROFESSORSWorldNetDaily Exclusive
Fox's Brit Hume reports 'Marketing of Evil' lawsuit
Gay profs accused Christian librarian of sex harassment for recommending book
In his popular "Political Grapevine" segment on Fox News' "Special Report" show yesterday, veteran news broadcaster Brit Hume focused on the renewed controversy over a university librarian accused of sexual harassment for recommending WND Managing Editor David Kupelian's popular best seller, "The Marketing of Evil."
Hume, who is Fox's Washington, D.C., managing editor, said (See "Livid Librarian" heading):
A former librarian at Ohio State University says he wants his old job back, and wants the university to change its sexual harassment policies.
Scott Savage says he got into hot water with colleagues while serving on a committee to recommend books for incoming freshman. He said the books under consideration were too liberal, so he suggested "The Marketing of Evil" by David Kupelian, which is subtitled "How Radicals, Elitists, and Pseudo-Experts Sell Us Corruption Disguised As Freedom."
Two professors filed a sexual harassment claim against him, charging that the book was homophobic. The complaint went nowhere, but the Columbus Dispatch reports that Savage says he continued to be harassed anyway. Ohio State had no comment.
Fox also has posted a video of the Hume report online.
As WND reported last week, Savage has now filed a federal civil rights lawsuit against OSU-Mansfield and faculty members, alleging they violated his 1st and 14th Amendment rights.
The case was filed March 10 in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Ohio by attorney Tom Condit.
Savage took a leave of absence from his position as head of Reference and Instructional Services at Bromfield Library on Ohio State University's Mansfield campus, but said he was later forced into resigning because of the virulent reaction from homosexual faculty members after he suggested the book be included in a required reading list for freshmen.
In a case that made national headlines, Savage was condemned publicly by a 21-0 faculty vote on March 13, 2006, to be formally investigated for "sexual harassment" after several professors, including two who are openly homosexual, objected to the librarian's having recommended "The Marketing of Evil." Subtitled "How Radicals, Elitists, and Pseudo-Experts Sell Us Corruption Disguised as Freedom," chapter one exposes the marketing strategies and tactics of the "gay rights" movement.
Included as defendants in Savage's action are Ohio State President E. Gordon Gee; Nancy K. Campbell, a human resources officer; T. Glenn Hill, a consultant; members of the university's board of directors, and Christopher Phelps, Norman W. Jones, James F. Buckley, Hannibal Hamlin and Gary Kennedy, who teach on the campus.
Karen Holbrook
Also named as a defendant is former Ohio State President Karen A. Holbrook, whom Savage described as allowing the false accusations against him to be pursued.
As WND reported previously, one of the homosexual professors, J.F. Buckley, in a March 9, 2006, e-mail, reacted this way to Savage's recommendation of Kupelian's book: "As a gay man I have long ago realized that the world is full of homophobic, hate-mongers who, of course, say that they are not. So I am not shocked, only deeply saddened – and THREATENED [sic] – that such mindless folks are on this great campus. … You have made me fearful and uneasy being a gay man on this campus. I am, in fact, notifying the OSU-M campus, and Ohio State University in general, that I no longer feel safe doing my job. I am being harassed."
The unprecedented formal attack on Savage, as well as a threat of a legal counterattack by the Alliance Defense Fund, finally ended when OSU backed down and informed Savage he was not guilty.
But the lawsuit outlines how the professors and school, despite failing to uphold the accusations, continued to conspire to attack and damage Savage.
"What we found was an incredibly concerted effort on their part, long after the complaint cleared me, to try and get me fired, otherwise harass me, to try and turn staff, non-faculty members, there against me, all quite openly," Savage told WND.
And besides the damage to his career, he told WND that the impact on freedom of speech could be huge.
"Anyone at Ohio State, faculty or students for that matter, are in danger," he said. "You look at how kids spontaneously break out into debates over any number of subjects. Now at Ohio State University, if somebody defends Christian marriage, they might be hit with a sexual harassment charge."
"Look at what happened to me. Who in their right mind would utter so much as a peep?" he said.
He said his goal is justice, but doesn't know if that's possible.
"Justice would have occurred if the university had honored my counterclaim and admitted these professors falsely accused me. That would have been justice. But two things need to happen. The professors need to be completely exposed and brought to account for having done that to me. And the university needs to change its policies so this stuff doesn't happen again," he said.
A spokeswoman in Gee's office at the university took a message but refused to respond to WND's requests for comment, and a message left with Holbrook, who now is vice president for research and innovation at the University of South Florida, generated only a response from an assistant who asked questions about the lawsuit.
Savage's attorney, Tom Condit, told WND the scenario is a case of homosexuals "posturing" themselves as victims, then making "aggressive" demands against Christians.
"Scott Savage never threw his religion around at these people," he said. "But Christians are the ones who are willing to stand up to these folks."
"They demand not just tolerance, but approval," he said. "Scott never said one thing as to his opinion as to homosexuality. He recommended a book that suggested the homosexual lobby is marketed in a slick way."
Condit said the case earlier was filed in state court, but since it addressed constitutional issues also needed to be handled in a federal court.
Hamlin, in one e-mail, exhorted his colleagues to simply "refuse to allow the situation to be cast in terms of freedom of speech," and in another recommended an official complaint be drawn up against Savage.
In an e-mail from Jones, he advised the library manager that he would withdraw from using the facility because of Savage, generating a response from the library manager that such a "personal attack" was greatly disturbing to her.
It was Buckley who unleashed an obscenity-filled diatribe on the subject, according to copies of e-mails accompanying the lawsuit.
"What the G– d—– f—– h— kind of homophobic s— h— is this?" he ranted. The e-mails document how faculty members first talked about changing Savage's mind, then reprimanding, then censuring, and finally getting rid of him.
In still another e-mail, Jones complained that it was inappropriate for a librarian to dispute his judgment when he pronounced an opinion. Savage also is variously described as a "troll" and "virulent parasite."
Phelps discussed how "dangerous" it was to let Savage know what the faculty was planning to do, and Jones at one point said he would not participate in a meeting to discuss the situation unless there was "no public record."
The lawsuit explains it simply: "This action arose because Plaintiff Scott Savage dared to express an opinion and recommend a book that was rooted in Christian morality and therefore offended the pro-homosexual faculty at OSU-Mansfield."
His recommendations came after he agreed to serve on the First Year Reading Experience Committee to choose books freshmen would be required to read. "At the committee's first meeting, several books were proposed that carried a leftist perspective on history, culture, or politics," including authors such as notorious atheist Richard Dawkins, the lawsuit said.
Each of those book titles was e-mailed to committee members, accompanied by a "brief Amazon.com" description. Savage responded with the comment that the books were "polarizing" and suggested an alternative.
Several professors, including Jones and Hamlin, immediately attacked his comments and Hamlin specifically suggested the purpose of the students' reading assignment was to oppose "Christian fundamentalism."
He commented, in light of Savage's Christian beliefs:
Furthermore, I think the university can afford to polarize, and in fact has an obligation to, on certain issues … I would say polarize away … Certainly this may offend some students who come from [a Christian fundamentalist] background or hold such beliefs. But welcome to the secular university…
Savage then responded with suggestions for "The Marketing of Evil," David Horowitz' "The Professors," Bat Ye'or's "Eurabia: The Euro-Arab Axis," and Sen. Rick Santorum's "It Takes a Family," including Amazon.com descriptions.
Jones immediately condemned "The Marketing of Evil" as "homophobic tripe," Savage defended his academic freedom to suggest it, and Jones responded with an attack on Savage to his supervisor.
Then Buckley, who was not on the committee, sent an e-mail to all Mansfield faculty and staff claiming he felt "threatened" and "harassed" by Savage's book recommendation, sending the case spiraling into a formal sexual harassment complaint against Savage.
Savage in April 2006 received a letter from the school noting he was not guilty of discrimination or harassment, but Hill followed with a defense of the accusation.
"In a series of e-mails and communications dating from immediately after their public exposure in early April 2006 and continuing to at least the end of May 2006, those five OSU-Mansfield faculty members continued to conspire to drive Mr. Savage from his position …," says the lawsuit.
"Defendant faculty members were gearing up a campaign to further harass Mr. Savage and to make his work in the library impossible," it adds.
After Savage had been cleared, Phelps, the lawsuit says, still told the university provost the librarian "is an acknowledged advocate of bigotry."
"Not only did he sent e-mails to FIRE but he has a very intimate relationship with WorldNetDaily, a vituperous and rabid web site …," Phelps continued.
Savage then took a leave of absence because of the "extreme emotional distress that was the direct result of Defendants' false and defamatory accusations …," and eventually felt forced to resign, the lawsuit said.
The result was a series of violations of Savage's constitutional and statutory rights, including freedom of speech and academic freedom, the lawsuit charges. It seeks compensatory and punitive damages as well as injunctive relief ordering Savage's reinstatement "to a library position other than his former position at OSU-Mansfield," as well as policy changes to prevent their use in order to "harass and punish constitutionally protected speech and academic freedom."
Savage has written two books on his faith: "A Plain Life" and "The Plain Reader."

I am a small local Business which started in 2004 by organising childrens parties. Part of this involved helium balloons and I was getting asked more and more to supply just balloons and soon realised there was a much greater demand for balloons than anything else.
Just over a year later, I made the decision to concentrate solely on specialty balloons as I quickly learned how much fun they were to work with and discovered after attending several workshops, just how many wonderful displays and settings can be created using them!

The Climatographers engage with audiences in ways that encourage new perspectives on risk – and climate risk in particular. We have spoken to hundreds of corporate, university, conference, and public audiences as keynote speakers, panel participants, class lecturers, and hired experts. Anyone who attends our presentations leaves both entertained and more informed.
Mark particularly enjoys getting audiences to look at climate change risk in ways that may challenge closely-held assumptions, a useful exercise for audiences regardless of whether they approach the topic from the perspective of risk or opportunity, advocacy, or skepticism.
Speaking topics include:
- 25 years into climate policy – where are we?
- Carbon markets – success or distraction?
- Is climate change a material business risk? If so, why?
- The importance and value of robust climate risk scenarios
- The failure to date of climate risk communication
- Planning for a future price on carbon – but at what level? $10 or $150?
- Resilience is the new climate buzzword – but is it the right thing to focus on?
- By all means let's adapt! But to what?
- Climate change – the risk management conundrum of them all!

Keeping the magic alive
So, you've got to make the honeymoon last a full year. But how? Maybe, HR specialist Keever says, companies should start hiring directors of retention, in addition to directors of recruitment. If the former were a position, she says, it should focus on two areas: new-hire procedures and nurturing new hires throughout the first year.
Orientation is also crucial, but it should be more than a paperwork festival. One company, Keever says, holds an orientation session specifically for the new employees in each manager's group. "They review things like the likes and dislikes of the particular manager," she says.
But "it's not always what you do--it's how you make them feel," Keever says. That's where nurturing comes in. So when recent recruits finish a particularly difficult job, give them movie tickets or a night on the town. Or interview them periodically, asking probing questions as to whether they feel like part of the organization. (See box, "Questions new hires would love to be asked")
For instance, you might ask if they're comfortable with their team and their manager, or if they've run into any surprises or disappointments with the company. Surveys find atmosphere is very important to technical workers, so you might ask them if there are small things they'd like to change, such as dress code, better recreational areas and more comfortable meeting rooms. Perhaps you can't paint their cubicle walls bright orange, but airing employee's preferences and showing a willingness to address them can go a long way.
Another important area for technical specialists concerns how stimulating they find their work. So ask about current projects--do the employees feel vital to the outcome of the project, and are they able to tap into their creativity?
Talking it out
One way or another, says advisor Foote, you have to make the first few weeks and months distinctive for new hires. "In the beginning, either assign them a mentor or someone to watch over them," he says. (See sidebar, "Capturing loyalty.") "Or put them on a project immediately and immerse them in the business."
Some companies even start up boot camps, which are weeks-long, intensive training sessions intended to immerse new hires in corporate culture and processes (see the January 1999 column: "IT staff goes back to bootcamp").
Another suggestion is to view the company through the eyes of recruits. Keep your ear to the ground, Foote advises, through surveys and informal conversations with people in their first year. Be sure to ask "What kinds of things could have been done or what experiences have their friends had for a sense of belonging?" he says.
All of this may seem like an awful lot of work after the up-front costs of hiring. However, the payback can be great, even if you only extend tenures for another 12 months. "If you keep them happy and paid fairly, they can really blossom," Foote says. "You don't want the blossom to fall off the rose." //

Quality Loss Function - a Common Methodology for Three Cases
The quality loss function developed by Genichi Taguchi considers three cases, nominal-thebest, smaller-the-better, and larger-the-better. The methodology used to deal with the larger-thebetter case is slightly different than the other two cases. This research employs a term called target-mean ratio to propose a common formula for all three cases to bring about similarity among them. The target-mean ratio can take different values representing all three cases to bring consistency and simplicity in the model. In addition, it eliminates the assumption of target performance at an infinite level and brings the model closer to reality. Characteristics such as efficiency, coefficient of performance, and percent non-defective are presently not larger-thebetter characteristics due to the assumption of target performance at infinity and the subsequent necessary derivation of the formulae. These characteristics can also be brought under the category of the larger-the-better characteristics. An example of the efficiency of prime movers is discussed to illustrate that the efficiency can also be considered as a larger-the-better characteristic. A second example is presented to suggest the subtle differences between both methodologies.

Seems to be a popular question people seem to look for. I Still don't know why. Kinda hard to perform set processing against data put in this form. I forget the first day I saw this, or from whom, but I always reference this article on the great SQLTeam Site.
So, once they got the ability to do it for 1 ID, they'd like the Whole thing denormalized...so I'll post mine here so I don't have to retpe (lord knows I could use the practice though). It's been done over and over, and I'm sure the original came from someone here (especially the part about loosing the Cursor). I've just received so much knowledge from the "Team" that's hard to keep track (I still have to post Arnolds time conversion that he was so gracious to allow me to post). Thanks again to all the members:
So I take no credit for any of this, I'm just being lazy.
The original thread that got me to post this, because I was tired of retyping it from scratch
OK, I got this from MWolf at
It seems that the plan for this much moer effecient. I'll need to investigate....see for your self...use with the code below..

Animal sanctuaries and rescue centres
While a captive wild animal industry exists, homes will inevitably be needed for the surplus and cast-offs from that industry. As zoos and circuses close; as wild animals are indiscriminately bred in captivity; as illegally-kept wild animals are confiscated or surrendered; as exotic pets are dumped as fashions change – there is an urgent need for facilities in which non-releasable captive wild animals can spend the rest of their lives.
Global Federation of Animal Sanctuaries (GFAS)
Well-run animal sanctuaries can provide a partial solution to the welfare problems associated with the captive animal industry, allowing animals in need of rescue to be cared for in adequate circumstances. Unfortunately, the word sanctuary is often misused and misunderstood. There is a need for the public to be able to differentiate between exploitative operations and legitimate animal sanctuaries. As a result, the Global Federation of Animal Sanctuaries (GFAS) was formed in 2007 by globally recognized leaders in the animal protection field with the sole purpose of strengthening and supporting the work of animal sanctuaries worldwide. GFAS does not operate animal sanctuaries, but rather helps sanctuaries to help animals. GFAS has established clear, specific standards for the humane care of various species in captive facilities and for sanctuary governance and operational issues, along with an objective and realistic independent accreditation process for animal sanctuaries. The GFAS goal in working with and assisting sanctuaries is to ensure that sanctuaries are supported, honoured, recognised and rewarded for meeting important criteria in providing care to the animals in residence, without putting unreasonable burdens on often over-extended and under-funded sanctuary operators.
The European Alliance of Rescue centres and Sanctuaries (EARS)
The European Alliance of Rescue centres and Sanctuaries (EARS) aims to be a strong and effective European network to support, promote and achieve continuous improvements in animal welfare and respect for animals, tackling the very reasons that necessitate the existence of rescue centres and sanctuaries. EARS is made up of 18 rescue centres and sanctuaries from across Europe including those from Italy, Greece, France, Germany, UK, the Netherlands, Spain, Belgium, Austria, Bulgaria and Romania.
A facility that rescues and provides shelter and care for animals that have been abused, injured, abandoned or are otherwise in need. There should be no commercial trade, no invasive or intrusive research, no unescorted public visitation or contact in wild animal sanctuaries, no breeding of non-releasable animals and no removal of wild animals for exhibition, education, or research. A sanctuary should have non-profit status and all necessary licences and permits.
Animal Sanctuary: A facility that rescues and provides shelter and care for animals that have been abused, injured, abandoned or are otherwise in need, where the welfare of each individual animal is the primary consideration in all sanctuary actions. In addition the facility should enforce a non-breeding policy and should replace animals only by way of rescue, confiscation or donation.
- Most sanctuaries and rescue centres have one strange goal in common: to put themselves out of business! They look forward to the day when their services will not be necessary.
- There is no EU-wide agreed legal definition of a sanctuary or rescue centre, this causes confusion for enforcing authorities in member countries as to what legislation can be used to protect the animals involved.
- Sanctuaries and rescue centres need to strike a balance between providing for as many animals in need as possible and maintaining the quality of life for those already in their care.
- Running a sanctuary well is an expensive business! Wild Futures' Monkey Sanctuary in Cornwall spends £1000 per monkey on food alone each year.
GFAS, and all true sanctuaries, maintain that a sanctuary is a facility that rescues and provides shelter and care for animals that have been abused, injured, abandoned or are otherwise in need. There can be:
- No commercial trade (buying or selling)
- No invasive or intrusive research
- No unescorted public visitation or contact in wild animal sanctuaries
- No removal of wild animals for exhibition, education, or research
- No breeding (Exceptions can be made for rehabilitation and release centres engaged in a bona fide breeding-for-release program with available release sites within the state/province, conducted with specific conservation goals, in accordance with local, state/province, national, and international law and regulations. Breeding tigers in the US, for example, does not qualify for an exception.)
All too often, however, the public is misguidedly led to believe that any captive animal facility — especially those with exotic wild animals — is a sanctuary. The operators of these "pseudo-sanctuaries" prey on this misconception to buy and sell wildlife and get financial support from the unwitting public.

Since getting IPv6 up and running, I've been trying to figure out a way to map domain names to hosts no matter if they have statically assigned addresses or dhcp/radv generated ones. Additionally, I didn't want to purchase a new domain. Instead I opted to create a new subdomain and delegated authority to my home IPv6 router's name server.
In my first attempt, I was using a public FQDN. This presented a problem when using BIND's allow-update as the private IPv4 range was now public and doesn't help when trying to access my home computers. After some digging I found update-policy, but this required that each host made use of DNSSEC/TSIG/SIG…something I couldn't guarantee on my network…yet. So it was back to allow-update.
A couple days later after some further thought, I settled on using a .local domain and via a script, copy the AAAA records to a public domain. This solution gives me easy access to my servers, without exposing the private IPv4 addresses. Even better, the script can be extended to include additional records or rules. For instance, don't want to map android phones? Cisco switches? Cross reference the IPs to macs and filter away.
Zone config
//public zone "home.example.com" { type master; file "/var/lib/bind/master/home.example.com.conf"; //Only allow the updates from the local machine. allow-update { localhost; }; //Only allow the axfr from the local machine. allow-transfer { localhost; }; }; //private zone "home.example.local" { type master; file "/var/lib/bind/master/home.example.local.conf"; //Allow local network hosts with static addresses to update the zone. allow-update { LocalIPv6/64; LocalIPv4/24; localhost; }; //Only allow the axfr from the local machine. allow-transfer { localhost; }; };
The actual zone files are your regular zone files, nothing special.
The script to update the public zone with AAAA records in the private. This is a cron job that only runs every hour as I'm not motivated enough at the moment to create higher res crontab.
#!/usr/bin/php <?php //get the aaaa records that have been registered with the local domain...minus the ns records. $c = "dig @::1 home.example.local. axfr | grep AAAA | grep -v ns.home.example.local"; $out = array(); exec($c, $out); $hosts = array(); //build array with hostnames for keys pointing to an array of associated ipv6 addresses. foreach($out as $v) { $hn = substr($v,0,strpos($v,'.')); if(!isset($hosts[$hn])) { $hosts[$hn] = array(); } $ipv6 = preg_split("/( |\t){1,}/", $v); $ipv6 = $ipv6[count($ipv6)-1]; $hosts[$hn][] = $ipv6; } //Now take that array and pump it into nsupdate. foreach($hosts as $k => $v) { $cmds = array("echo server ::1", "echo zone home.example.com", "echo update delete {$k}.home.example.com. AAAA"); foreach($v as $ipv6) { $cmds[] = "echo update add {$k}.home.example.com. 86400 AAAA {$ipv6}"; } $cmds[] = "echo send"; $cmd = implode("\r\n", $cmds); exec("(". $cmd . ") | nsupdate", $out2); //var_dump("(". $cmd . ") | nsupdate"); //var_dump(implode("\r\n", $out2)); } ?>

|Zoe Saldana is ruthless in "Colombiana," but no match for
"The Help" and Hurricane Irene.
Zoe Saldana's latest vehicle Colombiana was the strongest new release and grossed $10.3 million on 2,900 screens at 2,614 locations. This is an improvement on Saldana's latest action role in comic-book adaptation The Losers, which only grossed $9.4 million during its first weekend. Distributor Sony Pictures' exit reported that, unusually, 57% of the audience was female while 65% was age 25 years and older.
Written and produced by Guillermo del Toro, the R-rated horror movie Don't Be Afraid of the Dark took third place with a disappointing $8.6 million at 2,760 single-screen locations. This poor result is in direct contrast with FilmDistrict's previous release Insidious, which grossed $13.3 million in its opening week. I would personally blame the poor casting: Katie Holmes was great in Dawson's Creek but in a supernatural thriller? I don't think so.
The weekend's last new release, Our Idiot Brother, rounded out the top five with $6.5 million at 2,555 single-screen locations. Distributor, The Weinstein Company, reported that 55% of the audience was female and 70% 25 years and older. The R-rated comedy suffered from tepid reviews despite picking up some nice online buzz in the last week or so, mostly about the onscreen lesbian relationship between Zooey Deschanel and Rashida Jones.
Rise of the Planet of the Apes ranked fourth with $8.6 million, and its total climbed to $148.5 million in 22 days, despite a 46% drop from last week-end. This is the science-fiction reboot's fourth week in the top 5 and it's managing to hold up very nicely thanks to good word of mouth and mostly positive reviews.
To get ready for Labor Day weekend movies are being released earlier during the week. Wednesday sees the opening of Gainsbourg: A Heroic Life, a biopic of legendary sleazeball/musical genius Serge Gainsbourg, and The Debt, an espionage thriller starring British ice queen Helen Mirren. On Thursday, we are being treated to strange and gory happenings in space with Apollo 18, a slew of 3-D gigantic great white sharks devouring attractive young things in a Louisiana lake (yeah, right…) in Shark Night 3D, and Jason Sudeikis and Lake Bell try their hand at A Good Old Fashioned Orgy in the Hamptons.
Box Office Top Ten (August 26 - August 28):
- The Help (MRQE Metric: 72) -- $14.3 million
- Colombiana (MRQE Metric: 72) -- $10.3 million
- Don't Be Afraid of the Dark (MRQE Metric: 72) -- $8.68 million
- Rise of the Planet of the Apes (MRQE Metric: 73) -- $8.65 million
- Our Idiot Brother (MRQE Metric: 73) -- $6.5 million
- Spy Kids: All the Time in the World (MRQE Metric: 49) -- $5.7 million
- The Smurfs (MRQE Metric: 49) -- $4.8 million
- Conan the Barbarian (MRQE Metric: 39) -- $3.1 million
- Fright Night (MRQE Metric: 65) -- $3 million
- Crazy, Stupid, Love (MRQE Metric: 68) -- $2.9 million

To detect Team Explorer, look for the registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftVisualStudio8.0InstalledProductsTeam Explorer with a DWORD entry called UseInterface having a value of 1.
From the command line, you can use the reg command to query the registry.

Iron Horse
ormed and fronted by veteran vocalist Ron Keel (who boasts a resume of 2 million albums sold with former bands Keel, Steeler (USA), Fair Game, The Rat'lers, Saber Tiger, and as a solo artist), Iron Horse would also showcase the talents of Gaetano Nicolosi (drums/percussion/vocals), Jay Rusnak (guitar/vocals), Geno Arce (bass/vocals), and Dean Lehman (keyboards/harmonica/percussion/vocals).
Keel and Nicolosi met in Italy in 1999 and played together for six months there, entertaining Italian audiences and the men and women of the US Armed Forces. They entered a recording studio to cut three songs (In My Wildest Dreams, The Show Must Go On, and Redneck Rock N Roll), resulting in the birth of Iron Horse.
Keel's longtime partner in crime and bassist Geno Arce soon after came on board. He and Keel had worked together in a previous band, and Arce's background in both Rock & Country would merge to create the cornerstone of the act.
In the summer of 2000 they all relocated together to Plain City, Ohio, making a barn their H.Q. to travel from for rehearsing, playing gigs, and creating the songs and the sound that since became the Iron Horse trademark. Guitarist Jay Rusnak joined the band in 2002 choosing guitar parts that support and compliment the song, as well as being a songwriter and vocalist. New keyboardist Dean Lehman came on board in the summer of 2003 to make the Iron Horse sound complete. Still in its infancy, Iron Horse is a band in the truest sense of the word in their attempt to follow-up on their 2001 self-titled debut.

Child Custody Attorney Wa
How do I protect my rights as a father in Washington State Hi. I'm Eric Engel, a Seattle child custody lawyer with the Engel Law Group. The law has evolved significantly over the last three decades, moving from a genderspecific to a genderneutral stance in our statutes. There are some very basic things that you can do to help facilitate your rights as a parent. One make sure that you're documenting the time of when you're spending with your child. Two look for objective things that will lend credence to the idea that you're spending.
A lot of time with your child. For example, if you're taking your child to a doctor or if you're going to the parentteacher conferences these are examples of specific acts where it's objective and it's easy to determine who's done what. Three be very mindful of domestic violence and drug and alcohol claims. You'll be surprised how many times drug and alcohol or domestic violence can come up when you're talking about getting a divorce or you're asking for parental visitation with your child. You need to be very, very careful in.
