Zim's DGUSA Revolt! iPPV review: Johnny Gargano defends his title against Jon Davis in a No-Rope match, Akira Tozawa vs. Sami Callihan, Young Bucks vs. Jimmys, AR Fox vs. Samuray Del Sol, and Brian Kendrick returns

DGUSA Revolt! iPPV on WWNLive.com
January 26th, 2013 in Huntington Park, California
Lenny Leonard handled in-ring introductions as well as commentary throughout the show…
Chuck Taylor came to the ring where there was a table set up with some red Solo cups. He said that after his win last night, he's essentially locked as the number one seed in the Evolve title tournament. He said he spent seven years in college, so he wants to celebrate with a game of beer pong. He asked if anyone in the back who likes beer wants to challenge him. Out came Erik Cannon with some PBR tallboys and the game was on. Chuck raised the stakes by saying that whoever won got the first shot in their match tonight. Chuckie sank his three shots in five attempts for the win. Pretty impressive. Cannon cocked off after losing and the fight was underway.
1. Chuck Taylor vs. Arik Cannon. They took the action to the outside right away, where it was standard brawling for the first few minutes. Cannon suplexed Taylor on top of two chairs, but Chuckie came back a short time later with a high diving axe handle off the arena bar. They brought the fight back into the ring where Taylor controlled until Cannon hit an exploder suplex into the corner. He hit Taylor with a superkick and followed up with Total Anarchy, but Taylor was able to kick out at two. Uncharacteristically, Cannon climbed the turnbuckle, but Taylor threw a chair in his face, knocking him off the top and through the beer pong table. Taylor made the cover and got the win.
Chuck Taylor defeated Arik Cannon.
Zim's Zag: Not really too much to say about this match. It happened and it wasn't bad, but it didn't feel like a DGUSA style opener. The beer pong start was unique and funny, albeit not for everyone.
2. California FRAY! match. In this match, two wrestlers started and a new wrestler entered every 90 seconds. Eliminations occurred via pinfall, submission, or disqualification. Ray Rosas and B-Boy were the first two competitors in the match. Johnny Yuma came out next wearing 1-2-3 Kid style gear. His tag team partner Johnny Goodtime was out next. As soon as he entered the ring, B-Boy pinned Ray Rosas after an Air Raid Crash. The next elimination came after the RockNES monsters hit Weapons Grade Bolognium and Yuma pinned B-Boy . Drake Younger was the next man to enter the FRAY! He took control over both members of the Monsters with high impact offense. He eliminated Yuma after a sit-out powerbomb.
Brian Cage was out next and looked like a complete beast, hitting his power offence on every competitor in the match. He eliminated Goodtime after a pumphandle facebuster. Super impressive spot where Cage caught a diving Younger in vertical suplex position. Famous B entered next and dropped Cage with a superkick. He followed up with a Swanton, but Younger caught him and hit Drakes Landing to eliminate Famous B
Brian Kendrick came to the stage with two of his students. He had them wait at the top of the ramp while Cage and Younger wore each other out. They eventually made their way to ringside, but it was still unclear as to who would enter the match. Drake Younger eliminated Brian Cage with a rollup combination. Kendrick sent one of his students up onto the apron, and then the other. He followed both men into the ring and with Younger distracted, hit Sliced Bread and pinned Drake Younger.
Brian Kendrick won the FRAY! Match to earn a match against Johnny Gargano at tomorrow's Heat iPPV.
Zim's Zag: Fun match, but it seemed like they crammed a lot into a short amount of time. Brian Cage was the most impressive man in this match and Younger looked good too. Once Kendrick was at the top of the ramp with his students, it would've been more surprising had he not been the one to enter the match. Not to knock his students, but they didn't quite look up to par with DGUSA's athleticism. As for tomorrow, Kendrick vs. Gargano is a showdown of similarly sized men with similar work styles, should be great to watch.
3. Rich Swann vs. EITA. This is a matchup of two of the best young talents in the Dragon Gate system. Both competitors are only 21 years old. Solid chain wrestling opened things up in this one, with neither man having a clear upper hand. Swann got EITA in the corner and hit the big 10 followed with a chop that took EITA off his feet. Swann looked for an elaborate move with EITA in tombstone position, but they lost grip and blew the spot. They recovered alright but were forced to improvise. EITA got momentum back by reversing the whip with a springboard dropkick, sending Swann to the outside.
EITA went for a dragon suplex on the outside, but Swann did a backflip and landed on his feet. EITA caught him a short time later with a big tornado DDT and followed up with a moonsault off the stage onto Swann. EITA got Swann back in the ring with firm control and hit a missile dropkick for a two count. A short time later, he hit a unique inverted sitout Alabama Slam that got another near fall. Swann got control back with a big Ace Crusher and followed up with the 5 Star Swann Splash that got him a two count of his own.
Both men met face to face and exchanged blows mid ring. Swann went for a back handspring, but EITA caught him with a nasty dropkick to the face while he was upside down. He followed with an inverted Olympic Slam for a convincing near fall. EITA ascended the top rope, but missed his trademark moonsault. Swann caught him with the Tornado Spinkick and his Standing 450, bit EITA kicked out. Swann hit more high impact offense and finished with a handspring 450 splash that missed the mark, but he scored the pinfall.
Rich Swann beat EITA.
Zim's Zag: Very good match from these two. Moments of green showed with a few missed timings and the blown spot, but the final 10 minutes were filled with awesome action and convincing near falls. These two have all the potential in the world at such a young age.
Swann got on the microphone and put over EITA, Dragon Gate, and finished by calling himself the face of the high-flyers. He challenged anyone to try to make the same clame. He showed a slight edge that we haven't seen from Swann, but he did help EITA to his feet after the match.
4. Open the United Gate Champion AR Fox vs. Samuray Del Sol. Both men tried the same offence from the get go. Fox looked to hit a flip over the top rope onto Del Sol, but Del Sol evaded, only to have Fox land on his feet. Impressive. Fox began to show frusteration after a lucha armdrag sent him to the outside. Del Sol got hot with rapid fire offense, but missed a springfoard 450, allowing Fox to take advantage.
Fox hit a springboard dropkick and followed up with his Kickflip onto Del Sol at ringside to take momentum. Back in the ring, the pace began to slow as Fox got a two count on a vertical suplex. He got Del Sol seated in the corner, skinned the cat into a dropkick, and finished with a running shooting star cannonball. Del So fought back and hit a dazzling twisting plancha over the top. He got Fox back into the ring and went for the pin on a sunset flip powerbomb, but only got two. Del Sol climbed to the top rope, but Fox made it to his feet. He went for Lo Mein Pain, but Del Sol grabbed the rope and sent Fox back down to the Mat stomach first.
He nailed the Rising Sun, but somehow Fox kicked out at two. Del Sol went for it a second time, but Fox evaded and hit a twisting brainbuster. Del Sol rolled to ringside where Fox met him with an imploding 450. Just amazing. He got Del Sol back in the ring and landed a springboard 450 for two. He hit Meteora to the back of Del Sol's head, but Del Sol caught him with a desperation Rising Sun and both men were down. After a short back and forth, Del Sol hit a sitout shiranui, but Fox kicked out. Del Sol went up top again, where he looked at the crowd for a second, but that was enough to cost him. Fox caught him with a flurry of kicks and followed up with a double-jump Lo Mein Pain for the victory.
AR Fox defeated Samuray Del Sol.
Zim's Zag: Super exciting match! This is DGUSA's high flying style at its finest. Both men are incredibly talented and unique, and they worked very well together. I liked how Fox went for his finisher multiple times before finally hitting it. It provided a story for a match that may have otherwise been labeled a "spot match". My complaint this match was the crowd's failure to respond to some absolutely incredible moves, but that's hardly a complaint towards the competitors.
Immediately after the bell, The Young Bucks hit the ring and delivered their spike tombstone piledriver on AR Fox.
5. Akira Tozawa vs. Sami Callihan. Tozawa opened up with a stiff exploder suplex that got him a two count. Sami came back and locked in the Stretch Muffler, but Tozawa got the ropes. Sami hit a springboard lariat that knocked Tozawa ringside and followed up with a suicide dive. Tozawa hit a wheelbarrow suplex into the ring apron and brought the fight back in the ring with control. Tozawa got Sami onto the top turnbuckle but Sami reversed with the sunset flip and superkicked the back of Tozawas knee.
He continues to work the legs when he bodyslammed Tozawa, sending his legs into the ropes and then settled into an Indian deathlock in the middle of the ring. Sami broke the hold but continued to work the leg with stops and a spinning toe hold. He spat in Tozawa's face and called him a bitch. Tozawa came back and the two men exchanged stiff strikes back and forth. They hit bicycle kicks simultaneously and both men were down. They slowly rose to their feet and continued to jaw at each other. They went back to exchanging forearms with Tozawa gaining the upper hand and dropping Sami with a Saito suplex for a two count. Tozawa hit a German suplex but Sami came right back with a shoulderbreaker. He hit a dragon screw legwhip and went to another Indian deathlock.
Tozawa managed to escape and hit a quick Shining Wizard. Both men worked back to their feet and again, exchanged stiff shots and the crowd was split. They went face to face, but Sami struck with a quick headbutt. He followed up with a sit-out powerbomb and went straight into the stretch muffler. The ref dropped Tozawa's arm twice, but he came to life on the third. They worked back to their feet and Tozawa hit a bicycle kick, another to the back of the head, and followed up with a german suplex for a near fall. Sami kicked out, but Tozawa hit the straight jacket German and made the pin immediately after.
Akira Tozawa defeated Sami Callihan.
Zim's Zag: Awesome match. These are two of the hardest hitters in Dragon Gate and this match was a great reflection of that. The pacing was spot on and the two told a convincing story. I'm not sure if it'll be memorable or stack up as one of the best of the year, but it was a thoroughly entertaining, stiff match featuring a story that was easy to get invested in.
6. The Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson) vs. The Jimmys (Jimmy Susumu and Ryo Saito). Matt and Ryo chain wrestled to a draw before both tagging in their partners. Some really fluid action led to the Jimmys gaining the upper hand. Saito took it to Nick with a hard running back elbow in the corner before tagging Susumu back in. Nick quickly got Susumu back into his corner and tagged in Matt who stompped a mudhole in Susumu. Matt went with right hands, but Susumu hulked up and tagged in Saito who hit a double back elbow on Matt.
Super innovative spot with the referee distracted when Saito lifted Susumu onto his shoulders and stood on Matt's chest with the weight of two men. Saito got a two count after coming off the top with a double stomp, and the Jimmys kept Matt isolated. The Bucks eventually fought back and hit their double team dropkick with a headscissors to knock Susumu to ringside. Matt had Saito cornered and hit a handspring backrake. Funny spot. The Bucks stayed in control and worked over Saito, keeping him isolated until he fought back with strikes, knocking Nick off the apron and hitting a belly to belly on Matt which created separation for the tag. Susumu dodged a Bucks double kick attempt and took them both out. He hit an impressive pumphandle powerbomb for two, but matt came back with a Whisper in the Wind flip dropped into a stunner. Super impressive move.
The Jimmys reversed the double whip with docey-do double corner clotheslines, giving their team the upper hand. Susumu hit a big momentum powerbomb on Matt and the Jimmys looked for another double team but the Bucks reversed. They hit an assisted shiranui and Nick got a near fall on Susumu. Nick missed the moonsault, and Susumu catapulted him into a wheelbarrow German Suplex from Saito. Saito hit his lariat for a two count and hit the Double Cross, but the fall was broken up. The Bucks got rid of Susumu to ringside and went to work on Saito. They hit a bucklebomb on Saito and superkicked Susumu off the apron. They followed up with More Bang For your Buck and got the the clean win on Saito.
Young Bucks defeated The Jimmys.
The Bucks took the Mic and said that for two straight night, they beat up "a couple Chinese guys". Matt said the titles that have eluded them are the Open the United Gate Titles, that's why they beat up Fox earlier. He said they'd see Fox tomorrow in their tag team match and closed by calling everyone dorks.
7. DGUSA Open the Freedom Gate Champion Johnny Gargano vs. Jon Davis in a no-rope match for the Open the Freedom Gate Championship. Both men opened with right hands, which gave the larger Davis the upper hand. He went to whip Gargano, which Gargano had to stop short to avoid falling out of the ring. Gargano came back and clipped the knee, taking the big man off his feet. Davis rolled to ringside but Gargano kept on him. Davis chokeslammed Gargano onto the apron, but missed a lariat and hit the ringpost, weakening the arm. Gargano threw a chair right into the face of Davis and locked in a figure-four around the ringpost.
He got back in the ring and locked in the Garga-NO Escape, but Davis slipped to ringside where he got to his feet with Gargano on his shoulders. He hit an F5 which sent Gargano's ribs into the post. Davis hit a huge vertical supplex dropping Gargano onto the ramp. He threw Gargano back in the ring and continued to work the back and ribs. Davis brought out one of the ring ropes from under the ring and viciously fishhooked Gargano with the turnbuckle. He followed up with two curb stomps and maintained complete control. He went to ringside and positioned the ring steps a few feet away from the ring. Gargano surprised him with a summersault plancha and then began burying Davis under every chair he could get his hands on.
Davis got to his feet and blocked a kick by Gargano. Gargano slipped badly but they played it off alright. Davis carried Gargano to the top of the ring steps, but Gargano reversed with a sunset flip powerbomb, driving Davis into the apron. He made the cover in the ring, but only got two. He went under the ring and brought out a ladder, which he set up in the ring and climbed. A fan yelled "theres no briefcase" but Gargano had his plan, driving Davis down with a big tornado DDT. Back at ringside, Gargano blasted Davis in the head with a chair. Davis got a hand up, but it still doesn't happen often anymore, so one shot felt very impactful.
Gargano asked fans to clear him a runway and charged at Davis. Davis caught Gargano and used his momentum to hit a spinebuster on the pile of chairs in a brutal looking bump. Gargano tried to throw a chair at Davis, but he caught it and blasted Gargano with it. He hoisted the champion over his shoulder and held a chair across his back, driving them both to the mat with a powerslam for a two count. Davis went for a bucklebomb into the ringpost, but Gargano slipped and launched the ladder into the face of Davis. He followed up with the Hurts Donut on the ladder, but Davis was able to kick out before the three count.
Gargano headed toward the backstage area and brought an even taller ladder back and leaned it against the ring. Gargano laid Davis across the ladder and charged at him, but Davis hit him with a flapjack powerbomb half onto the ladder and half onto the floor. Absolutely brutal. He rolled Gargano in the ring quickly and hit 3 Seconds Around the World for a very convincing near fall. Gargano made it to his feet and caught Davis with a superkick. Davis responded with a lariat and both men were down. They both fought for the ladder as they tried to get to their feet. Davis drove it into the abdomen of Gargano, but when he raised the ladder over his head, Gargano caught him with a superkick. Hit hit a second superkick and the ladder fell around Davis's neck. Gargano superkicked the ladder and immidietly locked in the Garga-NO Escape with Davis caught in the ladder. Davis lost consciousness, forcing the referee to callfor the bell and end the match.
Johnny Gargano defeated Jon Davis to retain the Open the Freedom Gate Championship.
Zim's Zag: Another great match to end a great night of wrestling. I went into this match skeptical, bored by the idea of a no rope match. However these two put on a very different style match that told a perfect story for the type of feud these two have had. The match certainly exceeded my expectations and was a solid conclusion to the near-year long rivalry.
Brian Kendrick made his way into the ring and asked for a mic. He started by congratulating Gargano on his victory and commended him on being a fighting champion for over a year in a promotion with the most spectacular competition in the world. He said that Gargano has beaten top stars in Japan as well as the US. He commended his resume, but said that the glaring hole in Garganos' record is never getting a win over someone the caliber of Kendrick. He said that Johnny's pride is his flaw. He then asked Gargano to put his title on the line. "Are you a man, or are you a mouse?" he asked. Gargano anxiously grabbed the microphone and just as he began to speak, the feed cut out. When it came back, Gargano was holding his championship over his head as Lenny Leonard announced tomorrow it would be Brian Kendrick challenging Johnny Gargano for the title. He thanked everyone for watching and left Gargano to handle the traditional DGUSA mid-ring sign off.
Zim's Zag: Overall, very solid show. Aside from the opener, there wasn't a slow or disappointing match on the card. Great action all around and I'm a fan of the new feuds. I like the introductions of the Young Bucks into the Tag Title picture and Kendrick being spring-boarded into a main event position. They're incredibly talented and can also bring a new level of recognition to the product. From reading comments in the chatroom, there were several first-time DGUSA viewers who were extremely impressed and vowed to order tomorrows show as well. I would recommend this show for a DGUSA fan on the fence or to anyone looking for an action-packed, hard-hitting, competition-focused alternative to mainstream pro wrestling.

The improved JIT compiler optimizations instructs the Java Virtual Machine to favor ultimate execution speed over the startup time of Java applications. The JIT compiler performs new optimizations for both SPARC and Intel (IA) platforms, including inlining of virtual and non-virtual methods, CSE within extended basic blocks, loop analysis to eliminate array bounds checking, and fast type checks.
Java 2 SDK for Solaris provides inlining, which eliminates the need to inline manually (and risk destroying program modularity). Automatic inlining is restricted to relatively small, non-synchronous methods without flow control.
Java 2 SDK for Solaris includes a new mixed-mode execution feature that can significantly improve performance. Mixed-mode execution occurs when the VM compiles only the performance-critical methods and interprets the rest. This feature reduces compilation overhead, enables programs to start more quickly, and lets the VM spend more time compiling and optimizing where it matters most, enabling better performance.
Mixed-mode execution is the default mode. In mixed mode, the VM divides the methods into two types:
For each type, the JIT compiler determines when compilation occurs. Methods that potentially contain loops are compiled on their first execution. Methods that do not contain loops are compiled on the 15th invocation.

I would like to meet her sometime in the future but im worried about asking herVisitor's Question from a 13-15 year old Male
I recently met a girl on the internet we have chatted for a while and talked about our intrests etc. I would like to meet her sometime in the future but im worried about asking her in the event I scare her off. How would I go about trying to move our relationship forward from just internet friends to a better friendship or real life friendship?
RomanceClass.com Advice
Switching from online to real life is always a risky thing for both people.
If you ask her, it shouldn't frighten her off, she can always say no. Or no, not yet. Or whatever she wants. But I don't think that it'll cause her to stop talking with you, because it's flattering to her that you want to know her more.
The best way to do it is to meet in some public place -- a pizza shop, a donut shop, a fast food shop, you get the idea. Set a time where you have the afternoon open, check out when the movies are in case you decide to do that, find some activity nearby like minature golfing or billiards. There's so much you can do that will give you a chance to learn what each other is like in real life.
Good luck!

my daughter is 9 and for the last year has gotten more and more curious about the part of her family that is not in her life. Her dad chose not to be in her life from the verry start. Her grandmother and Aunt fell out of touch around the age of 2 . tonight she was crying about the fact that she doesnt know them and that she is upset that she doesnt have any one in her family that shares her skin color i have tried to tell her that the reason i have not attempted to contact that part of her family is because i am trying to protect her from being hurt by them now i dont know if i am being selfish or if it really is in her best intrest to try to bring them back into her life. I am fully aware that i will never be able to teach her how or what it means to be a strong beautiful black woman. i am doing my best to teach her simply how to be a strong woman period so what do i do ????

The vase has a bottle form. The vase is further accented with 2 buttress handles on each side of the top opening. The handles start at the top of the vase and come down to the waist. The vase display a wonderful matte yellow glass that is very uniform throughout. The handles have very sharp angles to them and really give this piece all of its' character.
The vase is in excellent condition as there are no cracks, chips, nicks or dings. The piece is signed on the bottom with Rookwood's " reverse RP and sunburst logo" along with the Roman numerals XXV for the year of manufacturing, 1925. It also has the mold number "2562" impressed into the bottom.
This is a very nice arts and crafts shape created by Rookwood Pottery. Those of you who collect arts and crafts shaped pottery will surely welcome this vase into their collection. It will look great on any Stickley or Mission style furniture.

Massachusetts Republicans seem to have issues with accuracy.
Massachusetts Senator Republican Scott Brown is being called out again for telling voters that he "served in Afghanistan". Ironically, it was Scott Brown who introduced the 2011 Stolen Valor bill that would penalize the faux fighter who steals the glory from others to obtain some gain. The bill "would make it illegal for individuals to profit by knowingly misrepresenting their military service."
Republican Vietnam veteran Doug Sterner told the Huffington Post that he thinks Brown's claim to have served in Afghanistan, "(S)ounds to me like we just got another Blumenthal Connecticut, Mark Kirk type things there." He added, "I thought it was seriously misleading. I think it does go to an issue of personal character and that concerns me."
In his recent debate with Democratic challenger Elizabeth Warren, Brown announced his service, which was actually a two week training event with the National Guard in which he did not face the Taliban, as pointed out by the Boston Globe earlier, "So he was wrong to state, in last week's debate against challenger Elizabeth Warren, that he 'served in Afghanistan.'"
Brown is a lawyer with the Guard not a combat troop, and in the past has trained in his home state. He requested to train in Afghanistan, and some claim that he did this so that he could photo op himself in fatigues instead of the dress uniform a lawyer normally wears.
Brown does technically serve the National Guard by training, but he didn't bother to explain that he faced no enemies while there. Valor is defined as "Courage and boldness, as in battle; bravery." Thus, to imply you faced battle when you did not is the spirit of Brown's own bill regarding stealing valor.
The Senator explained, "The Stolen Valor Act of 2011 will ensure that those who misrepresent themselves as heroes, and try to profit from the service and sacrifice of others, are held responsible for their actions."
"Stolen valor is the theft of our military's principles of honor, which are measured through the individual sacrifices of our troops on the battlefield," said William Blight, spokesman for the Middleboro Veterans Council. So, stealing valor is about stealing the sacrifices faced on the battlefield. And that is exactly what Sterner is saying Brown did by claiming he "served in Afghanistan", when in fact Brown was never on the front lines of a battlefield. Thus, Sterner is suggesting in round about terms that Brown appears to be stealing valor.
According to HuffPo, the Brown campaign responded to Stern's accusations by pointing to a forward in Brown's book:
When I returned, it was not as a U.S. Senator but as a Lieutenant Colonel in the Army National Guard, sent to complete my annual training at a military base near Kandahar. I dressed in fatigues and battle armor, carried a side arm in my holster, and lived, worked, ate, and slept alongside fellow U.S. soldiers and Guard members.
Brown's rebuttal is almost more offensive than the original claim, for he sounds like someone playing dress up troop. Dressing in fatigues and donning battle gear for training is not the same thing as being in combat. Nor is eating or working side by side with our troops remotely similar to "serving". I should know, I've done that while they were training.
You do not see combat while training. Your life is not in constant imminent danger. You don't have to kill the enemy. You don't have to see your fellow troops shot. You don't have to see a child point a gun at you. These things matter.
Those who see combat with the Guard rightly claim their service, but training for two weeks is not serving in combat for a year and more, far away from your loved ones — there are no maybes about it. What Brown should have done was highlight that he has witnessed many of the fighting conditions first hand, though from the troops I've interviewed, carrying a weapon and shooting it at an enemy under fire are two very different things.
Still, Brown deserves credit for his service – he just needs to clarify that his service is not the equivalent of a combat troops' service. He needs to make clear that he has not earned the valor of being in battle and he is not trying to mislead people into thinking that he has.
This is the second day in a row that a Republican has falsely equated some other kind of service with actually serving in combat. While all service is worthy on its own, that does not automatically render it the same as serving in the military in the front lines of combat. How could it be the same if it is not the same? You don't learn everything you need to know about fly fishing by working in a bait shop. There is no replacement for serving in battle — it's a one of a kind experience. Wearing the gear doesn't automatically render you brave, or destroy your soul or steal your limbs.
This matters because it's Republicans who want to start a new war with Iran, and I can't help but wonder if they think they've served (seen war) by serving their Mormon Mission or training in Afghanistan, no wonder it's so easy for them.
You haven't seen war until you've been there. You haven't served in combat unless you actually served in combat. It's offensive and wrong to claim otherwise. Period.
Sterner, who is a Republican, is supporting Brown's Democratic challenger Elizabeth Warren, in part because he believes that expanding healthcare is "very much a matter of humanity."

Apple yesterday released a new app titled iAd Gallery which, as you might expect, simply features a gallery of iAd campaigns. Don't worry, the app is a free download.
The iAd Gallery is a celebration of advertising, featuring iAd campaigns from some of the world's best brands and their advertising agencies. The iAd Gallery gives you easy access to a selection of the fun and informative ads that have run in some of your favorite apps. Use the Browse feature to discover ads you haven't seen, or to find those you want to see again. Even lets you tag your favorites to a Loved section thats all your own.
Some of the app's tantalizing features include:
• Updated regularly to include a selection of the latest ads running on the iAd Network
• Explore by spinning the wheel of iAd banners, or search by advertiser, category or ad feature
• Learn about the featured ads, including the advertising agencies behind them
• Easily access your favorite ads anytime by placing them in your Loved section
• Tap into the More section to find additional details about the iAd Network
We suppose this is a nice and free way for Apple to showcase engaging and and interesting ads developers are running on iOS, but we still can't figure out if this is something that's meant to appeal to the average user looking to check out some cool ads or perhaps as a way to build up some buzz for Apple's iAd initiative. Maybe it's meant to give advertisers a better understanding of how other companies are using Apple's iAd tools to create engaging ads.
iAds is of course Apple's homegrown advertising platform built on the shoulders of Quattro Wireless which Apple acquired for $275 million in January 2010. Since then, reports of advertiser success via iAds has varied, with some companies like Adidas noting that working with Apple is a tumultuous experience.
In its effort to help foster creative and immersive iAds, Apple in December announced a new software tool dubbed iAd Producer which helps developers and designers create rich, sleek, and elegant content for iAds. iAd Producer "automatically manages the HTML5, CSS3 and JavaScript behind your iAd" while also providing advanced JavaScript editing and debugging tools.
Lastly, we can't help but point the humor in this free iAds app. I mean, it's essentially asking users to download for free the same content they probably take pains to avoid on apps that they actually paid for.

REDDING, Conn. A vote for Dan Carter in the race for the 2nd House District is a vote for a 45-year-old health care consultant and former Air Force pilot who has lived in Bethel for eight years. Carter is a regional YMCA board member and former member of the Redding Parks and Recreation Commission and special education advisory council for the governors office. Hes the divorced father of two children who live in Redding who likes to fly and read.
We asked him five questions about the campaign:
The Daily Voice: What are biggest issues facing your district?
Carter: The biggest issue is jobs. When you go around and talk to folks, thats what you hear. ... Ive met a ton of people who are underemployed, so thats a huge issue. If you look at per capita income, its about $4,000 less per year for families. There are other issues related to that. State spending: We have increased budgets the last four years and spending has gone up dramatically in the last year alone about $4 billion and we had to raise revenue associated with it. The taxes and fees, and thats whats been killing a lot of businesses. Theyre getting hit with taxes and fees and regulations they have to comply with that are not funded. People are underwater right now. Until we fix those issues, nothing else really happens. Education matters but no one complains about education budgets when times are good. We have to make education reform, but the economy has to get back on track in the state.
The Daily Voice: Youve served one term as a state representative. What are your biggest achievements?
Carter: Its hard to see major accomplishments when youre in the minority. Its one-party rule in this state. But the jobs bill was a huge accomplishment. It was bipartisan and came at a time when the governor needed something. As a result, everyone was at the table for that and it was nice. Some funding programs to assist small businesses that I took advantage of made it a real win, personally. As soon as it went through, I brought the Department of Community Development to Bethel to talk to the Chamber of Commerce, and we had businesses take advantage of that and expand, including Bethel Power. The cherry on top was money came from the governors bonding money, which we converted, and it went to jobs. That was the high point.
The Daily Voice: Do you think Connecticut is going in the right or wrong direction?
Carter: No I dont like where were going. Were teetering on financial disaster. We have an amazing state, great people, great resources, great region for tourism and manufacturing and proximity to major cities. Its a great place to live. ... But the cost of living is ridiculous, taxes are ridiculous. I met a 75-year-old woman yesterday who paid off her mortgage 35 years ago. Shes paying $8,000 in property taxes, and shes on a fixed income and has a hard time keeping her house. That shouldnt happen. Were way out of whack with the way we spend in this state. ... Last year I put in a bill that would have led to a decline in unemployment benefits. Unemployment would taper off over time and people would feel the pinch and move forward. ... Instead of getting flat benefits they should decline so youll be forced to go out and do something.
The Daily Voice: What do you do to involve constituents in the decision-making process?
Carter: I do health care advocacy talks so people see what we do in Hartford. I go around to groups and explain how they can write letters. Three things a politician does are campaigning, legislative work and constituent service. The biggest is constituent service.
The Daily Voice: How do view your opponent Steven DeMoura and why should people vote for you?
Carter: My opponent is a nice guy with a good heart. Im confident and jump into things. People understand I give 120 percent. The hard work ethic is what I have, which is a lot better than what he has. ... Ive proven Im the hardest-working guy in politics, but I am new and still have a fresh perspective. I just started this two years ago, and Im still fighting the same battle. I came in to make changes to get a hold of state spending and reduce taxes, those are the big deals. My opponent will go to Hartford and wont vote that way. Anyone who goes to Hartford as a first-term Democrat is a rubber stamp for Malloy. Its the nature of the beast. ... I can be independent of my party and the Democrats. 76 percent of the time last year I voted with the Democrats. Good bills we worked on together but the 24 percent were huge issues - the budget, death penalty, minimum wage, forced unionization of day care workers and in the election world same day voter registration.

This book was orginally written in 1976 to be published in 1977 with Edward Kennedy as the President. However Kennedy did not run and Archer put it aside. When Kane and Abel and The Prodical Daughter became best sellers Archer rewrote the book so that Floeyntna Kane was the President

A component tag uses a Boolean JavaServer Faces expression language (EL) expression, along with the rendered attribute, to determine whether or not the component will be rendered. For example, the check commandLink component on the bookcatalog.jsp page is not rendered if the cart contains no items:
<h:commandLink id="check" ... rendered="#{cart.numberOfItems > 0}"> <h:outputText value="#{bundle.CartCheck}"/> </h:commandLink>
Unlike nearly every other JavaServer Faces tag attribute, the rendered attribute is restricted to using rvalue expressions. As explained in Unified Expression Language, rvalue expressions can only read data; they cannot write the data back to the data source. Therefore, expressions used with rendered attributes can use the arithmetic operators and literals that rvalue expressions can use but lvalue expressions cannot use. For example, the expression in the preceding example uses the > operator.

The congressman from Zulia state criticized what he called the "secretive" nature of the president's deliberation over the measure.
For weeks, leading Democrats have castigated pro-Republican special interest groups involved in the current election campaign for what they describe as secretive fundraising practices.
Is a country that has long been secretive is having those secrets revealed by social networks?
Rep. Mike Ross, who flip-flopped on the public option and has authored an amendment that seems like a copycat of Max Baucus's no-good, terribly bad bill, has been in secretive talks with a Republican, Rep. Charles Boustany (R-LA), for weeks.
Oh well, so much said about that and yet I remain secretive about the specifics.
We could say secretive is better, but realistically for large applications you have to justify your every-move – for Apple and other companies it might happen within their own compounds, it still happends.
Part of what drives this notion of Putin as so secretive is that Yeltsin seemed to be such an accessible figure, particularly to the West.
The spot, which it will show in states including Michigan, North Carolina and Ohio, specifically cites the billionaire industrialists connected to Americans for Prosperity, Charles and David Koch, whom it describes as "secretive billionaires attacking President Obama."
This website is devoted to exposing the ruling elite's long-term secretive agenda of population reduction and in showing how each of us is unknowingly being targeted by such an agenda.
Mitt isn't being "secretive" -- he's just trying to keep his eye on the ball, which is politics and political issues.

This excerpt taken from the LYV 8-K filed Feb 10, 2009.
How will this merger affect live entertainment ticket prices?
The merger will enable more innovative and dynamic promotion arrangements that create more choice and a more fan-friendly purchasing experience. As an example, the Eagles recent all-inclusive pricing initiative was favorably received by the public as well as the broader industry.
By uniting an artist, promoter and ticketing company under a combined banner, the new entity will be positioned to address the challenges of serving fans better at the point of the initial sale with more options and better access.
A very substantial portion of the tickets put on sale to the public for live events go unsold. The new company will be positioned to take full advantage of its combined online resources, databases and promotional operations to strengthen and enhance the direct connection between artists and fans. This will create opportunities to improve attendance at events, benefiting venues and supporting a healthier live entertainment industry.

The problem with welfare is that it doesn't work.
In order to "rescue" someone from the welfare state, you need to provide them three things:
1. A sufficiently comfortable lifestyle that Maslow's heirarchy of needs allows them to think about the future in the first place.
2. A clear and plausible opportunity for a future significantly brighter than they would achieve on welfare.
3. Insulation from the naysayers in the welfare community who self-delude with the premise that nobody can ever get off welfare.
This works if, and only if, it is a volunteer program which ruthlessly eliminates underperformers without prejudice - the moment you slip up, you're out, but you can return to the program as many times as you like.

There is one caveat to your supposition that conservatives and (some) liberals were against hard-core central planning from the '30s to Trixonian controls. That is their resolute support for central monetary planning, perhaps the single worst form of socialismo we had then and still have.

Becoming the best doesn't happen overnight; you've got to work for it.
Before becoming an instructor in the Navy's Topgun program, Dave "Bio" Baranek was just another kid with a dream. Upon graduating from college, he joined the Navy with the goal of becoming a fighter pilot. But, his eyesight waning, he knew that he would never be able to reach that goal. Undaunted, he plowed ahead and found his niche as a radar intercept operator in the backseat of the sleek, new Grumman F-14 Tomcat.
Join Baranek in Before Topgun Days as he takes you along for this greatest, most exciting time of his young life: training to become a naval flight officer. Taking place before the events recounted in his previous memoir, Topgun Days, Baranek brings to life the anxieties and excitement of entering the fast-paced world of fighter jocks. From a green recruit to an experienced flyer, discover what it took to become a Topgun instructor.

"Just as good as Topgun Days"
Dave is an excellent storyteller, I enjoyed this book just as much as Topgun Days. The narrator, however, was terrible. Not in the same league as Jeremy Arthur, John Pruden or Eric Martin.
"Overall good, but narrator doesn't fit well."
I enjoyed the story very much, but the narrator for Top Gun Days would have been a better fit for this story.

Washington - The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service today released its yearly appraisal of the current status of plants and animals that are candidates for protection under the Endangered Species Act (ESA). The Candidate Notice of Review was published in today's Federal Register. Four species were removed from the candidate list and five species were added since the last review in September 2006. There are now 280 species recognized by the Service as candidates for ESA protection.
Washington - The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service today released its yearly appraisal of the current status of plants and animals that are candidates for protection under the Endangered Species Act (ESA). The Candidate Notice of Review was published in today's Federal Register. Four species were removed from the candidate list and five species were added since the last review in September 2006. There are now 280 species recognized by the Service as candidates for ESA protection.
As part of this review, the Service is soliciting public comment and additional information on these candidate species, as well as information on species that may be eligible for addition to future candidate updates. This information will be valuable in preparing listing documents and future revisions or supplements to the notice of review.
"The candidate list helps the Service, states and our partners focus attention and effort on the species most in need of careful management," said Service Director H. Dale Hall. "Because of successful conservation efforts with our partners, significant threats to a number of these candidate species have been removed."
Hall highlighted the important role conservation efforts play in reducing risks to species not yet listed. The Surprising Cave beetle in Kentucky is one example. It was removed as a candidate after an assessment found that the species' range was larger and the threats to its continued existence had decreased. In addition, Mammoth Cave National Park entered into a 15-year agreement to conserve the cave beetle and its habitat, which includes Surprising Cave and three other caves in the park. This conservation agreement is just one of many such agreements across the country helping to conserve at-risk species before they require ESA protection. More than 150 candidate and at-risk species currently benefit from candidate conservation agreements.
Three other species were removed from the candidate list this year:
* The basalt daisy, a plant found in Washington, was removed from the candidate list due to conservation efforts and information indicating the species is more abundant than once believed. Surveying and monitoring led to the identification of two additional populations of this plant and the most recent survey further affirmed stable numbers suggested by earlier surveys, leading the Service to conclude that this species no longer meets the definition of a candidate.
* The Warm Springs Zaitzevian riffle beetle, an insect found in Montana, was removed from the list due to conservation efforts. Through the implementation of a management plan since 1994, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's Fish Technology Center has managed and protected the habitat for the beetle. That protection has been further reinforced by the commitments of Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks, and Montana State University through a Conservation Assessment and Strategy signed in 2006, leading to the removal of this beetle from the candidate list.
* The slender moonwort, a plant known to occur in Alaska, Colorado, Montana, Oregon, Washington, Wyoming, and portions of Canada, was removed because it is more abundant than previously recognized and there is insufficient information to justify its continued candidate status.
This year, the Service evaluated several species under the candidate process and found that five warrant ESA protection. The five new candidate species are:
* Las Vegas buckwheat, a plant species found in Clark and Lincoln Counties, Nevada;
* New Mexico meadow jumping mouse, a mammal species found in Apache County, Arizona; a small portion of Las Animas County, Colorado; and in Colfax, Mora, Otero, and Sandoval Counties, New Mexico;
* Huachuca/Canelo Distinct Population Segment of the Arizona treefrog, an amphibian found in the Huachuca Mountains and adjacent Canelo Hills in Arizona and Rancho Los Fresnos in north-central Sonora, Mexico;
* Laurel dace, a fish species found in Bledsoe and Rhea Counties, Tennessee; and
* San Bernardino springsnail, a snail found in Arizona and Sonora, Mexico.
Identification of candidate species provides resource managers with advance notice of species in need of consultation, allowing them to alleviate threats before the protection of the ESA is required.
The Service has several tools for protecting candidate species and their habitat including a grants program that funds conservation projects by private landowners, states and territories. Additionally, the Service can enter into Candidate Conservation Agreements (CAA), formal agreements between the Service and one or more parties to address the conservation needs of proposed or candidate species, or species likely to become candidates, before they become listed as endangered or threatened. The CAA participants voluntarily commit to implementing specific actions that will remove or reduce the threats to these species, thereby contributing to stabilizing or restoring the species.
The complete notice and list of proposed candidate species appears in today's Federal Register and can be viewed online at http://www.fws.gov/endangered/candidates/index.html.The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is the principal federal agency responsible for conserving, protecting and enhancing fish, wildlife and plants and their habitats for the continuing benefit of the American people. The Service manages the 97-million-acre National Wildlife Refuge System, which encompasses 548 national wildlife refuges, thousands of small wetlands and other special management areas. It also operates 69 national fish hatcheries, 63 fishery resources offices and 81 ecological services field stations. The agency enforces federal wildlife laws, administers the Endangered Species Act, manages migratory bird populations, restores nationally significant fisheries, conserves and restores wildlife habitat such as wetlands, and helps foreign governments with their conservation efforts. It also oversees the Federal Assistance program, which distributes hundreds of millions of dollars in excise taxes on fishing and hunting equipment to state fish and wildlife agencies.

I'd been wanting to read The Book of Lost Things for a while, since I read that it was sort of like a compilation of fairy tales retellings, which is exactly the kind that I like. The beginning of the book is great. So great, I knew I had to read it as soon as I read the first couple of paragraphs in the library.
The book tells the story about David, who lost his mother and found his dad marrying another woman with her son. Drowned in despair and jealousy, he was distant from his new family and retreated more into the worlds he found in story books. Not long after that, when a plane came crashing down the house's garden, David was somehow brought into another world that wasn't his own. A world with twisted fairy tales, with human-wolves, bad Little Red Riding Hood, a gay knight, obese Snow White, and vampire Sleeping Beauty. Don't forget Rumpelstiltskin, the one who inspires the main villain in the story.
I though the book was interesting, but wasn't amazingly good. Somewhere in the middle, I felt that it slowed down, and I quickly got disinterested with the half-wolves. I thought they were just ordinary creatures. At the back of my mind, I was worried that it was becoming just another adventure story, with a little kid that overcomes obstacles and beats the baddies at the end. So in a way it is, but then there are other elements to keep it unique among others. I enjoyed it but thought it could've been done even better. The ideas were great, but the details weren't spectacular. Perhaps I just had a high expectation, so it's hard to be met. Still, I'd recommend it for people who like adventure story with fantasy elements. Or for people who like twisted fairy tales.
Apparently John Connolly is originally a thriller/crime writer. That's not exactly my favorite genre, so I doubt that I would read his other books. But who knows what might come next?
ps: I love the cover. (I read the blue one instead of the red one.)

First paragraphs
Once upon a time – for that is how all stories should begin – there was a boy who lost his mother.
He had, in truth, been losing her for a very long time. The disease that was killing her was a creeping, cowardly thing, a sickness that ate away at her from the inside, slowly consuming the light within so that her eyes grew a little less bright with each passing day, and her skin a little more pale.
And as she was stolen away from him, piece by piece, the boy became more and more afraid of finally losing her entirely. He wanted her to stay. He had no brothers and no sisters, and while he loved his father it would be true to say that he loved his mother more. He could not bear to think of a life without her.
Last line
And, in the darkness, David closed his eyes as all that was lost was found again.

text: Watching The Life and Death of a Mobile Phone on BBC Four reminds me of my first mobile. I didn't have enough money to buy a sleeker Nokia model so I brought this chunky Motorola. When I showed to my friend Kaushal he told me that its bulky but it will serve you well and it did. My first mobile hack was done on this, I would send a hundreds of SMS's (its used to be free! ) and it outlasted most of the other newer phones I would buy later on. In death too it proved useful, a friend practised mobile repairing on this handset. Amen!
