A week with the Huawei TalkBand B2
Having considered the idea for years, I finally decided to strap a fitness tracker to my wrist and get a glimpse into the reality of my daily exercise routine. The results weren't good.
First a little background; I generally look after myself quite well. I surf regularly and do my best to get to the gym a few times a week. However, over the start of 2015 I've been feeling the clothes close in. A combination of two demanding children and long desk-bound work hours have played their role, but if I was honest I've lost control of my portion sizes and my stomach knows it. It's time to start turning things around and as part of that process, I've strapped the Huawei TalkBand B2 to my wrist and thought I would document the experience from the perspective of someone who is hoping this slick bit of tech can shave off my love handles and up my lung capacity.

Initial Impressions
The device is light and comfortable to wear. I haven't worn a watch since 1994 – perhaps that is why I am always late? – but other than pulling jumpers on and off I've been surprised by how little it has troubled me in my day-to-day activities. Its IP57 waterproof exterior helps with that, ensuring spillage from the kids or splashes from the bath (or let's be honest here, beer) are not a concern.
The screen is responsive to touch and considering how reliant I have been on my phone to tell the time in recent years (decades?) I've actually found its clock face highly useful. Its streamlined options are easy to understand and access, and the pop-out feature – whereby you can pull the face out of the band and stick it into your ear as a Bluetooth headset – is a lot more sturdy and functional than I would have believed possible. I can't believe how easily it pops back in! I've also noticed how quick it charges; going from 0% to 100% in around and hour.
On the advice of Huawei, I set my goal to 10,000 steps per day – a healthy number I'm told. The app interface on my iPhone 6+ is subtle and effective; I like it. And in walking from the collection point, to a taxi, getting out at my car and driving home to put the kids to bed, I'm surprised to see I've clocked up 600 steps. 10,000 seems like a highly achievable goal.
Day 1
Only it is not. I wake up in the morning to discover I've had a restless sleep involving 1hr 28min of deep sleep and 4hr 24min of light sleep. I'm impressed by how the TalkBand knows I am sleeping as you do not have to press anything for it to get the gist your prone in bed. Unlike most fitness trackers, it has a gyroscope within that can do more than just track movement (like an accelerometer) but also its position in space. No doubt, this is how.
Today I have both kids, so I figure I am going to knock this 10,000 out of the park. I hit the shops to look for a new fridge. Play soccer with the boy for a bit and then sit down to do some emails. In the early afternoon the kids' cousins turn up, so it's a bit more soccer, then a walk to and from the park. Finally, just before dusk, we hit the beach for some running in the sand and some dune jumps. I'm buggered by the time I throw the kids into the bath, but look eagerly at my stats for the day.
5,999 steps from an accumulated 1hr 58min of walking (4.64km apparently) and 7min of running (0.89km). My cycling data reads zero, as it should.
So I got 60% of the way there, which the app is telling me is equal to two bowls of rice. Hardly comforting as I chow into a rice-packed Enchilada (homemade at least). I am, however, feeling motivated. I'm a competitive bloke by nature, and I want to beat this TalkBand B2 - I really want to hit the 10,000 mark tomorrow…
Update Day 2: 9 July 2015
And that is not going to be easy. The kids are at day care and I have a full day of work to catch up on, plus the new day, which means a heck of a lot of desk time. I'm also determined to go for a surf at lunch, exercise that will not be tracked. The TalkBand B2 does have a neat feature, however, where it vibrates if you have been sitting still for 30 minutes. It seems to be quite accurate, too, and I'm going to use that as motivation to get up, walk around the park conveniently located across the road and sit back down.
Thankfully I got a better night's sleep. The app is telling me 6hrs 59min, including 2hr 3min of deep sleep across four different intervals. One thing I have noticed this morning is the need to re-sync the iPhone 6+ and the TalkBand B2 a few times. It's not that painful, but perhaps an area for improvement.
Sadly I missed my first, second and third warnings to get up, but then I did and ran around the park across the road for three laps. Using the stopwatch feature, which allows you to track specific exercises for a set amount of time, I did 670 steps in four minutes and burnt off a cucumber (says the app). I'm happy about it, too. Although, the unfortunate position of the fridge between my desk and the front door needs to be evaluated…
Towards the end of the day I realised I had only done 4,000 steps. I did get a surf in so who knows what that contributed, but the TalkBand B2 really urged me to do more. I picked up my boy from day care and we went straight to the park and ran around for 15 to 20 minutes. It was good fun, and I know he really enjoyed it. I was able to add 2,000 steps and ended the day on 6,030. With the surf, not bad. Let's see how we go tomorrow.
Choosing when to charge your Huawei TalkBand B2 is tough, as you want to wear it when you are sleeping to track your patterns, and – if you are competitive like me – you don't want any steps to go uncounted during your day-to-day routine. The best time to charge then, is when driving. It's genuine dead time in terms of physical activity. Since all you need is a USB port, most phone chargers will allow you to plug in your TalkBand B2, and I've now started to leave the charging cable in my car as a result.
Update Day 3: 10 July 2015
Not quite as good a night, unfortunately. Although I slept for 6hrs 42min, the TalkBand B2 has informed me only 1hr 22min of that was deep sleep, and I work up at one point (which I vaguely remember - something about "daddy I need to go to the toilet") and had to fall back asleep. I can see from the bar graph visualised on the app that happened right when I was due for some deep sleep, too.
Today I tried out the Bluetooth headset functionality. My phone rings instantaneously with the TalkBand B2 vibrating and I see from the little LCD screen it is my wife. I pop out the headset, stick it in my ear and have a conversation no worries at all. It doesn't fit into my ear that well, but there are two other sized ends in the box I can try out. Overall the quality is great. Later in the day I missed a call, and was surprised to see I could call back the number direct from the TalkBand B2's screen - a nice feature.
Today I am heading into the city and working from an office desk. That means a long bit of driving, followed by a long period of sitting. But I am encouraged by accumulating 3,000 steps by lunch just getting around. Still, I know I will need to do more upon getting home and have to admit that it's because I am so far behind my step count that I'm driven to hit the gym.
I pump iron for a good 50 minutes at the gym, doing squats, push-ups, sit-ups, fly presses, bicep curls and more, but it only equated to 900 steps, most of which I assume came from walking between stations. I realise it is not the goal of the device to measure such activity, but like surfing, it's left me unclear of whether I achieved my exercise target for the day. Perhaps a future version of the TalkBand could look at a gym mode that counts smaller, sharper movements in some way to account for weights and other gym related activities.
As it is, however, my app is saying 6,174 steps; way off my goal again.
Update Day 4: 11 July 2015
My sleep figures are in; I scored 7hrs 18mins of sleep - which is actually a lot for me. Must have been that gym session. Today's activities include a mix of working from home, interacting with the kids as they tear my poor mother-in-law to shreds - babysitting for a while today – and, in general, living out a typical day.
It's a slow start to the morning and I have barely been able to get away from my desk. With less than 2,000 steps accrued by lunch I decide to hit the park with my boy in the arvo. Three separate times we go for a small run. We also do some star jumps, push-ups, planking and skipping. My son is getting into it, coming up with his own little courses where we jump roots and climb up little hills. It's good fun, and even though it is early days, I already feel my body starting to turn a corner.
That night I decided to wear the TalkBand B2 during an intimate session with my wife, just to see what it had to say. It was late and perhaps wasn't the kind of performances my neighbours are used to "enjoying," but it was certainly time well spent... I thought. Sadly, the TalkBand B2 is more critical. It believes I made 30 steps and then fell asleep for 20 minutes. Harsh. I don't think I will wear the TalkBand B2 next time; sexy as it may be.
All up 6,241 steps… and a happy ending.
Update Day 5: 12 July 2015
It's the weekend and sadly I am playing catch-up on work. At least I scored 8hrs 25mim of sleep, which is epic, but I have started to notice a pattern on the app. No matter how long I sleep for, my period of deep sleep is generally the same, give or take 15 minutes. I appreciate the insight, and wonder now if I can be more efficient with my sleep – I will watch closely to see if I can discern my "deep sleep window" and make sure I am prone during that period.
I have some painting to do this morning, and despite a couple of hours of yard work getting that and other bits and pieces done, the step count is minimal. I spend the afternoon at my desk, inspired by the TalkBand B2 to hit the park a couple of times with my son and to do some activity, but by the time they are in bed I have only done a pathetic 3,000 steps. Disgusted I force myself into my gym gear and hit the weights, crashing out at 4,125 steps.
I must admit I am quite disappointed by my inability to even get close to the 10,000 goal, but I cannot deny how much more exercise I have done since putting on the TalkBand B2. I have also noticed I have been much more aggressive on my calorie counting; it's amazing how, when you focus on your health, elements like that become easier. I turned down some take out, and opted for fruit snacks. Good on me, right?
One thing I have started to notice with the TalkBand B2 is its battery life. I was told it could last up to five days, but with what I would consider no more than basic use for its intended purposes, I can get about two and a bit days. Still, the quick recharge time ensures it is not a big issue.
I was surprised one day to see the TalkBand B2 reporting five minutes of cycling. I had done nothing of the sort, but I had gone shopping and pushed around a trolley around. Does this explain the anomaly? Perhaps, but when I mowed the lawn the following day all the steps counted, suggesting that the "hands out in front" position wasn't what confused the device into thinking I was cycling. Hmmm….
Update Day 6: 13 July 2015
In the middle of the night, my son wet his bed. Joy. Nothing like changing urine soaked sheets to the soundtrack of a sobbing child when it's five degrees. It's stuffed my sleep pattern, with my 6hrs 53min of prone time consisting of just 1hr of deep sleep – half my norm. We need to start this day with positivity.
So it's a big breakfast and a family walk along the beach, and when I get home to my desk, I'm happy to see the 2,500 steps I've done to work off that mound of bacon. That afternoon I am taking the boy to the footy to watch the mighty Manly smash the Cronulla sharks, so I hit the computer and get some work done, forgoing any exercise in the park.
Going to the footy does not seem like exercise. We park, walk to the venue, find a seat, get up at half-time for a pit stop and a beer (for me, not the kid) and then return along the same route. However, it's enough to credit me with 4,000 steps. I'm really excited to see how much just "doing stuff" can contribute to my daily exercise goal. Maybe I can opt out of the gym more often to just take the family somewhere fun? 7,106 steps reveals Day 6 to be my best yet!
I am getting annoyed by the fastening mechanism on the black TalkBand B2, however (which is the same as the silver). The plastic-rubber texture is tough to get through the clip and pull tight, while the pop in button that acts as a clasp seems like pot luck. A number of times I have spent minutes just trying to get the little nub in the hole (no that's not a reference to Day 4) and it also has a habit of catching on things and undoing itself. At the footy, when I picked up my boy, it fell right off and if it wasn't for a good Samaritan there would not be a Day 7.
The gold TalkBand B2 is about $20 more expensive, but offers a leather strap and a traditional watch clasp. I'd love it if they provided the black option with these additions as it would be worth the upgrade.
Update Day 7: 14 July 2015
Final Thoughts
I wake up after a great 7hr 44min sleep, with a huge day ahead. I'm going on a trip the following day, so have lots of work, chores and packing to get done – ultimately keeping me up to midnight. A few runs in the park aside, I managed to force in a last minute gym session, knowing that the next few days of airline food, beer, burgers and more beer are going to be unkind to my belt.
Sadly I'm at 5,500 steps come bed time and I'm so determined not to go backwards I just walk around the house s bit to get to 6,030.
And that best sums up my seven days with the TalkBand B2 – motivation. It's given me an insight into my daily grind and destroyed some of my preconceptions about how active I really am. It's forced me to get off my backside and get moving, and I intend to keep it on into the foreseeable future. I am going to get to a point where I am consistently hitting that 10,000 mark, you watch!
I do have a few minor grievances with the design and connectivity, but they are only minor, and in general it serves its dual Bluetooth headset/fitness tracker purpose very well. There's clear room for growth, too, as the tech improved. If, like me, you are looking for an insight into your daily activity and a motivator to pound the pavement, I'm happy to recommend the TalkBand B2.0

Triple jumper Caterine Ibarguen won Colombia's first Olympic gold medal in athletics on Sunday, building on several years of dominance by sweeping to victory with a season's best leap of 15.17 metres.
"It's the biggest dream to achieve this," said Ibarguen. "I'm very happy and proud."
The two-time world champion Ibarguen was hot-favourite going into the Rio Games after winning 36 of her last 37 competitions excluding qualifying events.
The 32-year-old soared past 15m twice and appeared in total control after producing her best jump in the fourth round, though she failed in her plan to break Ukraine's Inessa Kravets's world record of 15.50m set in 1995.
Ibarguen's young challenger Yulimar Rojas took silver with a 14.98m jump and became the first woman from the South American country to win a medal in athletics.
The 20-year-old also became the youngest female winner of a triple jump Olympic medal, capping her meteoric rise in an event she only started two years ago.
Kazakhstan's London Olympics champion Olga Rypakova pulled off the two best jumps of her season, but her 14.74m in the fifth round was only good enough for bronze

I don't cope that well with stress. It makes me ill. Physically and emotionally ill.
Therefore it's very, very strange that i decided to go into business for myself.
Most people who start up a business have a high level of stress. They cope well with issues with money, marital stress, schedules and working at all hours.
I don't.
Every bit of stress sends me flying up the wall. After a stressing situation, such as a meeting with the nice lady from the job office, i need Me-Time. Lots of Me-Time.
Right now, i cannot understand what possessed me to make this choice. Was it insanity? A spell? Some curse cast over me?
Or did i just fool myself into thinking i'd be happiest doing My Own Thing, working from home, doing whatever i like, whenever i like?
What made me think an entrepeneur has the choice of doing whatever she likes, whenever she likes?
What the hell is wrong with me and why won't someone send me a FairyGodMother to SAVE ME!!!
As you may have gathered, i'm a bit stressed out.
I left my application for start-up money on Monday. Since then, i've been... well, a bit on the edge. I cry over nothing, and i don't usually cry.
Except tears of happiness, but that doesn't count.
I don't like this. Not one bit.
So let's analyse, shall we?
It's not the business that scares me. I like being my own boss, i like challenges, i like it when i have a lot to do.
But right now, i feel like someone else is deciding my life for me. That's the thing that gets me all worked up.
I hope they make their decision quickly so i can start making real plans.
There's good kinds of stress, and there's there's the bad kind of stress. The first makes you work harder, to pursue your goals, to chase your dreams.
The latter makes you lose sleep and cry over nothing and stop eating and lose concentration.
Running a business, to me, seems like the good kind of stress after all. Even if i can't make it, it's my thing. And doing My Thing is the most important thing in my life. It's been that way since i was a kid.
This is starting to get too deep, now isn't it?
Yes it is. Let's look at some pretty dresses for a change.
I love couture. It's been the thing that rules my world for years now. My favourite designer is John Galliano. Which isn't too surprising :D
The thing i love most about couture is the way it allows us to peek into another world, a world of imagination and beauty, a world that never was, but can sometimes be. The way it offers us an escape from the burden of everyday life, a release from the dull greyness of realities.
And all designers love their Goths.

Fans waiting to see the Tony-nominated Hamilton got a big surprise on Wednesday when creator Lin-Manuel Miranda gave a memorable performance in the front of the theater.
The performance was in honor of May 4, which is the unofficial Star Wars Day.
"I had the good pleasure of having to contribute a song to the latest Star Wars movie," Miranda told the crowd outside of the theater. "I co-wrote it with someone who's incredible, and he's not known as a composer and a performer, but is one and is making his Broadway singing debut on these steps today. Please give it up for J.J. Abrams."
Abrams walked out and the crowd cheered.
He saw Hamilton last year and discussed with Miranda about writing a song for the new Star Wars film during the scene with Maz Kanata. Miranda secretly wrote the song and it wasn't even included in the film's soundtrack.
The song was called "Jabba Flow" and the lyrics are in Huttese, the native language of Jabba the Hutt and his slug-like creatures.
"I went to a website that had all of the Huttese glossary of terms. And it translates as, 'No, lover lover, it wasn't me,' Miranda said. "It's literally a Shaggy intergalactic remix."
After Miranda and Abrams performed the song, they announced that it would be available for people to download on iTunes and the Star Wars website.

Support brings us together and motivates us to be our absolute best selves.
It's no secret that I love this beautiful crazy online world. The main reason is because of the gorgeous unique and genuine people that I have met through these social media outlets. They inspire me every day. They inspire me to be positive, they inspire me to find the beauty in life, they inspire me to be myself and now the beautiful Kate from "Kate Says Stuff" Is inspiring me to MOVE.
I'm loving the gym and I'm loving exercise but it's no secret that I fall in and out of this love affair. When things get busy or tough I focus on those and my gym takes bottom of the list. The thing is, I love it so much when I'm there. Right now, when my Motivation is running red hot, the gym is what fuels me. I look forward to each class and I enjoy every minute of it. I want this to last. I want it to become a life style and not just an on and off rocky relationship. This is where Kate comes in. She is making us accountable for our exercise. She has organised a wonderful program called operation MOVE. we commit to a certain amount of minutes per month and we work our butts off to reach our goal. It's not just me now. She has made a massive commitment to us and in return I owe her my commitment.
I am happy with where I am. I am at my ideal body weight and I am happy with the way I look. By ideal body weight, I mean my clothes fit nice and I feel confident. I've haven't weighed myself in months. I'm not a scales girl I'm a mirror girl. I go on how I look in the mirror rather than what my number is on the scales. I go to gym to keep my fitness up and I am working on building my strength. My monthly goal for Operation MOVE is 960! That's 240 minutes per week. I'm a couple of weeks behind for the month of September. But that's ok! I'll stick to my weekly minutes and work my way into October!
So here I go...Operation MOVE.
I'm ready to rock it with the other participants and I'm ready to be my happiest, healthiest self.
I'm ready to rock it with the other participants and I'm ready to be my happiest, healthiest self.
Thank You Kate, you are on your way to world domination, one confident, fit and happy soul at time.

Spencer: Our Games Line-Up This Year Had an Incredible Reception from Gamers Everywhere
Microsoft hosted an Xbox Fanfest event in Mexico City last week, with all the main executives (Head of Xbox Phil Spencer, Head of Marketing Aaron Greenberg and Major Nelson/Larry Hryb) appearing on stage during the briefing. The recording is now available here, in case you're interested.
During the briefing, Phil Spencer spent some praise about the Xbox 2016 line-up of games.
At Xbox, our vision is very clear: we put the gamer at the center of every decision we make. When we think about our service, we think about our games, we think about our hardware, it is you playing your games that is driving the passion of team Xbox. With Xbox Live we've been investing to create the fastest, most reliable online gaming network anywhere, with new features like clubs, looking for groups, Xbox Arena; all of that to make your gaming experience even better.
But why do we buy our game consoles? To play great games. And our games line-up this year has had an incredible reception from gamers everywhere, from ReCore to Gears of War 4 and Forza Horizon 3.
Our commitment to continue to deliver the best exclusives we can possibly bring to your gaming experience is why your investment in Xbox is something that will continue to pay off.
We've reviewed all three exclusive games published by Microsoft in the past two months (ReCore, Forza Horizon 3 and Gears of War 4) and rated them highly. The last one due this year is Capcom's Dead Rising 4, launch on December 6th worldwide for Windows 10 PC and Xbox One; then there's Halo Wars 2, scheduled to be available on both platforms in February 2017.
After the briefing, Aaron Greenberg talked with Larry Hryb on the live stream about the ever-present Xbox Scorpio saying that it's all about bringing the true 4K experience to console in the living room.
It will really bring the most powerful console you've ever seen. It will bring these really true 4K, really incredible visual games that we've never seen before on the console. People who have spent thousands of dollars on a high-end PC are getting that experience. How do we bring that to scale in a console in your living room? That's a big part of what Project Scorpio is about.
Of course, there are developers who don't even think 4K is worth the resource cost such as DOOM's Lead Renderer Programmer Tiago Sousa. What do you think about that? Tell us in the comments.

Ok, well there was no trouble at all really, I just like the subject line since Big Trouble in Little China is one of my all-time favorite movies and if you don't like it, you can get the hell off this web site right now. Then again, some would argue that I should've used Showdown in Little Tokyo for the title of this post instead. Now, while I agree that watching an action movie where Brandon Lee compliments Dolph Lundgren about the size of his penis is downright hilarious, it just doesn't hold a candle to BTILC.
So anyway, this past weekend we once again went exploring around Los Angeles. I'm sure you've already seen the new minimock feature about the Animatronics Exhibit we visited, if not, be sure to check it out. After we finished checking out all of the crazy animatronics, we decided to head on over to Little Tokyo - also known as Japantown, J-Town, and perhaps even J-Lo.
At the Little Tokyo Shopping Center (formerly the Mitsuwa Plaza), they were having an Anime festival. Though, I'm not sure if you can call something a festival when maybe 50 people showed up. Anyway, when we arrived, Mari Iijima was there playing piano and singing while her adoring fans sat and listened. Actually, it seemed like she was talking to her fans more than playing her songs because every time I walked by, I swear she was talking about love, people she's loved, people who loved her and... more love. Then again, isn't that pretty much what every song in anime movies are about? Eh, beats me, I'm not really into anime.
We walked around a bit and found Japan Arcade which was a lot of fun since all of the games were in Japanese and we had to just wing it. Re and I went head-to-head in a game of Typing of the Dead which was a blast, because not only is it fun to type fast and kill zombies as a result, but all the words you have to type are in Japanese so that increases the difficulty tenfold. We then played Puzzle Bobble for a while and had some real good matches. There was also some game that had photos of Japanese girls in their underwear 'n shit. I have no clue what the hell that game was about. Anyway, when it was all said 'n done, I kicked Re's ass in the video games and somewhat redeemed myself after she destroyed me at that arcade on our Road Trip.
Aside from the arcade, the one other really cool thing about the Little Tokyo Shopping Center is that there's a grocery store on the bottom floor - Mitsuwa Marketplace. It's apparently the largest Japanese supermarket in the United States. If that's true, it's sad, because it seemed like an average size grocery store to me. Either way, it was a blast walking around in there and looking at all of the crazy Japanese foods and drinks. Aside from all the fish and tofu, the packaging on Japanese snacks is probably some of the most colorful stuff you'll ever see. I took a bunch o' photos of these packages and I'll be putting up a new Shorts piece to showcase them a little later this week. In all seriousness, it looks like a rainbow threw-up all over their snack section and forever stained the packages with a million bright colors.
Hmm, a rainbow throwing up a rainbow of colors. I don't know why, but I like that idea. Tell ya what. To any of you who draw me picture of a rainbow throwing up a rainbow of colors: I will post your pictures here in the blog. Do we have a deal? Alright then, get to work on those nauseated rainbows and email your pics to me!
On a final note, I'd like to congratulate my buddies over at Cracked on the premiere issue of their new magazine finally coming out. So go out and buy it. Buy three or four. I'm working on an article for one of the upcoming issues (hopefully issue #3) so I'll keep ya posted on that.

About Mitsuwa Marketplace, there's actually 3 or 4 of them in the LA area, the one near Venice is slightly bigger than that one in J-Town, it has a restaurant and bookstore included with the supermaret. It's a great place.
Adam (Guest) on 08/16/2006 1:56 pm
Did you see any Pocky in the supermarket? Pocky is possibly the best food invented by man.
-RoG- (Guest) on 08/16/2006 4:15 pm
Smon, haha thanks. Since you're the first one to submit a "rainbow puking up a rainbow" picture, yours will be the first one in my next blog post.
Ramon, that's weird, because the one we went to was promoted as the "largest in the United States" 'n all. I'll have to check out that other one near Venice next time I'm around there. Thanks for lettin' me know!
Adam, oh yeah, you betcha. In fact, I took a picture with two giant Pocky boxes while I was there. I'll be sure to include them in the Shorts piece when I put it up later this week.

One rainbow-puking-a-rainbow comin' up! Actually, I confess this is rather a French rainbow puking up the rainbowous stomach contents that one would be quite right in expecting in the bowels of a rainbow; which, being discharged, I believe, produces much of the desired effect of a rainbow puking up another rainbow; and has, too, the benefit of being much more plausible (right?). So here it is: Rainbow-puking-rainbow

I always wanted to play Typing of the Dead (And Pinball of the Dead for that matter!) just for the fact that zombies throw those Dreamcast maracas (It'd be funnier if they threw old 32X's and Saturns as well.) at you.

Nothing like extrmely wierd Japanese games. Did you know that they sell soiled panties in vending machines in Japan as well? look for those, that would make a hilarious yet disturbing picture.

WTF?! Soiled panties? Who the heck buys those?
maybe I should sell my soiled boxers for profit

Jared Roberts, heheh good stuff, thanks!
Angryhydralisk, I have a Dreamcast in storage and now I really want to get two keyboards for it so I can bust it out and play Typing of the Dead. Is Pinball of the Dead on the Dreamcast too? I recall seeing it for the GBA a while back...
James, Japan is from another planet.
Keep emailing me those rainbows puking rainbows everyone!

Which in retrospect...is probably the same planet

Those crazy Japaneses...
Anyway, here's my really bad rainbow puking picture!
CodieKitty (Guest) on 08/23/2006 4:15 pm
Is it just me or in Little Tokyo does Lundgren, whose character was supposed to have been raised in Japan, say "seppuku" wrong? I swear he says "seh-puh-koo" instead of "sehp-poo-koo". Okay, I'm nitpicking, but sheesh, if you're going to give somebody a role like that give them a crash course on Japanese moras and pronounciation. It's not like Japanese would be all that hard for somebody who has as firm a grasp on English as him (I'd pay money to see Schwarzenegger attempt Japanese)
Steve (Guest) on 08/24/2006 12:18 pm
You're forgetting RoG that a regular sized American grocery store in Japan is comparable to a whole mall in America

My husband and I took our niece, Alex, skating at Appalachian Ski Mtn's outdoor ice arena in Blowing Rock, NC. Action photography is really more of my dad's specialty (Mike Ward Photography), and I definitely didn't have the right equipment to stop the action in this low light, so these photos show more of the essence of the movement of the skaters. haha. I think they are fun.

Lesson 1 (from Chapter 1, Marius)
Chapter 1, Marius
Marius is the subject of the first chapter, and Rex Warner, the translator, states the opinion that this is the least satisfactory of all six chapters. This lesson is about how Plutarch's biography falls short in Warner's view, what it is about Marius's life that should have been included, and the possible reasons Plutarch had for writing this chapter the way he did.
1) Class Discussion: Does the class agree with Warner about his interpretation of Plutarch's biography of Marius? Why or why not? What does Warner have the biggest problem with? Which parts of Marius's life does Plutarch not include, according to Warner? Why is this important? Which parts does he exaggerate?
2) Split the class up into groups. Each group will analyze Plutarch's biography of Marius, citing the areas of concern that Warner outlines, and determining their validity. Afterward, talk about the groups'...

Flowing Well and Boring Special Construction Area
Well Management Program
- What is a Flowing Well or Boring?
- What are the Potential Problems with Flowing Wells and Borings?
- Rules Pertaining to Flowing Wells and Borings
- Flowing Well and Boring Special Construction Areas
What is a Flowing Well or Boring?
Groundwater is water that is found beneath the surface of the earth and has saturated the pore spaces in unconsolidated geologic materials and bedrock and in fractures in bedrock. Groundwater is usually recharged from water which has percolated through the soil from precipitation on the land surface or from bodies of water. Groundwater can flow from points of higher elevation or pressure to points of lower elevation or pressure.
An aquifer is a geologic formation, either unconsolidated material like sand and gravel or permeable bedrock, which readily transmits water and is tapped for supplying groundwater to water-supply wells. In some cases, the groundwater may be under pressure because the aquifer is overlain by a confining layer, such as clay or shale. The confining layer retards the movement of groundwater and pressure can then build up within the aquifer. This condition can occur when the aquifer is recharged at a point of higher elevation than the location where the aquifer is under pressure. When a well (or boring) taps the underlying aquifer, the water level will rise in the well to a level above the top of the aquifer. This type of well is an artesian well. If the water level rises in the well to an elevation above the land surface, the well will actually flow. This well is referred to as a flowing artesian well. Please refer to Figure 1 for a visual depiction of the hydrogeologic conditions causing flowing artesian wells.
Go to > top.
What are the Potential Problems with Flowing Wells and Borings?
Pressures and flows in flowing wells can vary from slightly more than atmospheric pressure and flows less than one gallon per minute to tens of pounds of pressure and flows of hundreds or thousands of gallons per minute. Flowing artesian wells can present major problems for casing completion and sealing of wells and borings. Uncontrolled flows can cause land erosion and land subsidence, pose safety concerns, damage drilling equipment and structures, and waste groundwater. Ungrouted casings can allow water to migrate up the outside of the casing, causing bore hole erosion and uncontrolled flows. Once a flow becomes uncontrolled, it is often difficult or impossible to regain control.
Go to > top.
Rules Pertaining to Flowing Wells and Borings
A well or boring with flows above the ground surface must be constructed to prevent erosion of the aquifer and the confining layer. Casing must be installed into the flowing aquifer to prevent water migrating up outside the casing. Minnesota Rules, part 4725.3450, detail the construction requirements for flowing wells and borings as follows:
- low flow, low pressure conditions (70 gallons per minute or less, ten pounds per square inch or less);
- high flow, high pressure conditions (greater than 70 gallons per minute, greater than ten pounds per square inch);
- flow control;
- overflow discharge.
The Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) has the authority to designate a Flowing Well and Boring Special Construction Area in a geographic area where high flow and high pressure conditions have been widely reported and flowing wells and borings have occurred. Contractors installing a well or boring within the designated area must follow the construction requirements in Minnesota Rules, part 4725.3450.

Yes, cause that's totally an appropriate response to ones mother.
xXHollowIchigoXx | 17
It is when she gives me something I'm allergic to and then gets mad at me when I vomit it out. And as OP's mother, don't you think she would've known OP was allergic to mango?
LlamaUprising | 10
I suppose, and I honestly forgot that fact. Still, that reaction seems a little bit over the top. Even if she did have a fit over something as minimal as that, it doesn't need a similar reaction following it.
CountMango | 5
So this is how kids treat their parents nowadays when they make a mistake? Good god you're pathetic.
MsMourningStar | 18
Luckily, 15, not all kids/teens act like this. Some of us still have manners. Was it wrong of OP's mom to give her spoiled yogurt? Yes but she may not have realized it was spoiled. And was it a terrible mistake to give her mangos knowing she's allergic? Yes but sometimes parents forget thing they're only human. I mean I've been allergic to tomatoes as long as I can remember and my mom still forgets and tries to feed me them every once in a while. And yes OP's mom did over react but that doesn't mean OP should do the same thing. It's called being mature and taking the high road.
xXHollowIchigoXx | 17
I'm sorry #23 my mother didn't raise me at all, I don't have one. And yes #32 it was sarcasm. I didn't LITERALLY mean say those things and fucking break her nose and kill her. Damn, people always want to be do serious and smart. But then when they're put in a similar situation they'd snap at the gecko.

I have never had food poisoning before meeting here, I swear. She always got so mad when I got sick too, claiming I was faking it. 8I Sound logic!~

Gary: This is interesting. I think it is safe to say that we completely agree on this point, but my mind can not help but wonder at where the bounds of their authority lie. For example, Boyd K. Packer reported once that a couple came to him to ask what colors to paint the walls in their house (I am paraphrasing.) and he responded "Has it ever occurred to you that the Lord doesn't care?". It would seem then, that somethings are irrelevant to drawing us unto Christ. We need to follow the prophets in their choice of attire or hair groom methods, for example. Do you see the line between where we need to follow the apostles' authority and not follow the apostles' authority as crisp and well defined? I confess that personally it is sometimes fuzzy to me where exactly the line is.
- R. Gary said...
Matt W.: I agree with you that somewhere between general conference and home decor advice, it gets fuzzy.
- DavidH said...
I agree as well Gary. Given that they are not infallible, though, I believe I am accountable if I follow a directive that I believe is wrong.
- said...
Talk about fuzzy. I had a Bishop tell me that the First Presidency directive to "avoid" Sunday meetings other than the three-hour block (back in 1999) was wrong. He explained that it would be more disruptive of family life to hold various other church meetings during the week rather than on Sundays. He said family time during the week was more important that family time on Sundays. He said the Lords work on Sunday was a priority over family time on Sundays.
I've been very fuzzy ever since trying to figure out who to follow, the General Authorities or my Bishop when their "directives" are different. Which one is more infallible?
- R. Gary said...
Not fuzzy at all, in my opinion.
Gospel Principles: "It is contrary to the order of heaven for a person to receive revelation for someone over whom he or she does not preside."
Dallin H. Oaks: "When one person purports to receive revelation for another person outside his or her own area of responsibility—such as a Church member who claims to have revelation to guide the entire Church or a person who claims to have a revelation to guide another person over whom he or she has no presiding authority according to the order of the Church—you can be sure that such revelations are not from the Lord." (New Era, Sep. 2004.)
Gospel Fundamentals: "Each of us can receive revelation for our own good. But revelations for the whole Church are given only to the prophet. We cannot receive revelation for a person who is a leader for us in the Church."
If you're still fuzzy about it, read these six paragraphs at LDS.org.
- said...
The priesthood has authority to dictate in all areas of life; yes, even down to the home decor.
- R. Gary said...
log: according to Howard W. Hunter, "God's chief way of acting is by persuasion and patience and long-suffering, not by coercion and stark confrontation. He acts by gentle solicitation and by sweet enticement. He always acts with unfailing respect for the freedom and independence that we possess. He wants to help us and pleads for the chance to assist us, but he will not do so in violation of our agency."
Boyd K. Packer illustrates: "Suppose, if you will, that a couple had money available to build a house. Suppose they had prayed endlessly over whether they should build an Early American style, a ranch style, modern-style architecture, or perhaps a Mediterranean style. Has it ever occurred to you that perhaps the Lord just plain doesn't care?"
I've been married since 1969 and, in my experience, the priesthood probably shouldn't "dictate" too much, especially not about home decor.
- R. Gary said...
Anonymous: Please forgive me for not publishing your comment about bishops and stake presidents you've had who allegedly received revelations contrary to the First Presidency and Twelve. When we say the Church is true, we mean collectively not individually. All of us, save Jesus only, are fallible. All of us, save Jesus only, have made mistakes. I see no point in bringing up examples to prove that point because it is not even in question. On the other hand, my comment policies prohibit "looking for flaws in the Church or its leaders."

The Samba-Bugzilla – Bug 7302
Mounted network shares and corrupted files
Last modified: 2010-03-28 04:24:39 UTC
I have a server's network shares mounted as local drives using fstab and smbfs. I download NZBs for news servers directly to the local drive (network share) and the files corrupt. If i download to a different directory then copy to the drive all works well. However, if i create a local shared folder to download the NZBs to mount them on the server as a drive everything works ok.
Here is my fstab entry
//steve-server/NZBs/ /media/NZBs cifs guest,uid=1000,iocharset=utf8,codepage=unicode,unicode 0 0
Please try to add -o directio to the mount command. This is very likely a duplicat of bug 6898.

Production of the Mustang began in Dearborn, Michigan on March 9, 1964 and the automobile was presented to the general public on April 17, 1964 at the New york city World's Fair. It is Ford's third earliest nameplate currently in production. Initial sales projections predicted less than 100,000 systems for the first year. This mark was exceeded in 3 months from rollout. Another 318,000 would be offered throughout the design year (a record), and in its first eighteen months, more than one million Mustangs were constructed. Looking for Mustangs for sale in New Brockton AL is easy now. Just use the internet to search for them near you.
Classic Mustangs For Sale
All of these were VIN-identified as 1965 designs, however a number of changes were made at the traditional opening of the brand-new model year (beginning August 1964), consisting of the addition of back-up lights on some designs, the introduction of alternators to change generators, and an upgrade of the V8 engine from 260 cu into 289 cu in. When it comes to at least some six-cylinder Mustangs fitted with the 101 hp 170 cu in Falcon engine, the rush into production included some unusual quirks, such as a horn ring bearing the 'Ford Falcon' logo design underneath a trim ring emblazoned with 'Ford Mustang.' These characteristics made enough difference to require designation of the 121,538 earlier ones as "1964 1/2" model-year Mustangs, a distinction that has sustained with purists. Buy Classic Mustangs in New Brockton AL and live the muscle car dream.
The 1973 OPEC oil embargo brought with it more rigid contamination laws and the desire for fuel-efficiency. This was likewise the first time in vehicle history that the Huge 3 were needing to take on imports. The new Mustang II was smaller than the very first version however, due to the extra devices needed to meet new United States emission and security regulations, was heavier than the very first design. Efficiency was reduced and in the first year only 385,993 cars were offered. Second generation Mustangs were available between 1974 and 1978 and offered in a coupe and hatchback variation. 1979 the Mustang was redesigned a 3rd time. This time it was based upon the larger Fox platform and the interior was truly huge enough for four individuals. The trunk was larger and so was the engine bay. The body designs readily available consisted of a coupe, hatchback and in 1983 a convertible. In 1979 the Third generation Mustang served as an Indianapolis 500 speed vehicle and Ford built 10,478 celebratory reproductions. The third generation Mustangs were produced from 1979 to 1982. Now has never been a better time to buy the Ford Mustang Of Your Dreams in New Brockton AL with special collector financing available.
4th generation style was offered from 1994 to 2004. 1994 Brought about the very first major redesign for the Mustang in 15 years. Patrick Schiavone incorporated several styling from earlier Mustangs. The base design featured a 3.8 OHV V6 engine from 1994 to 1998, and was mated to a conventional 5-speed manual transmission or optional 4-speed automatic.

'Time Runs Out' For Marvel's Avengers in September
Marvel is preparing to give fans a glimpse into its future.
"Time Runs Out," a storyline running through the September issues of Avengers and New Avengers, will take readers eight months into the future to tease the final arc from writer Jonathan Hickman, which itself sets up the status quo for Marvel's superhero publishing line moving forward.
The Secret History of the Marvel Universe Is Revealed in 'Original Sin'
In a statement from Marvel, editor Tom Brevoort said that the issues will "be providing a glimpse into the immediate future of our characters and what changes await them over the course of the next eight months of publishing. This isn't some maybe-future; this is the real deal, what's awaiting the Marvel Universe in the coming year."
It's worth noting that the cover for New Avengers #24 by artist Gabrielle Dell'Otto features the character Thanos prominently. That character, of course, was teased at the end of Marvel's first Avengers movie, the sequel to which will be released in May 2015 — or eight months in the future from the September release of this storyline.
Avengers #35 and New Avengers #24, both written by Hickman with interior art by Jim Cheung (Avengers) and Mike Deodato (New Avengers), will be available digitally and in comic stores in September.

SEC Proposes Ban on Flash Orders
Friday, September 18, 2009
Federal regulators turned their attention on Thursday to the fast-paced and sometimes opaque electronic trading systems that dominate financial markets, proposing to ban a type of trading that critics contend gives hedge funds and other financial firms an unfair advantage over individual investors.
The Securities and Exchange Commission released a proposal to ban so-called flash orders, which allow a select group of traders to see requests to buy and sell stocks and other securities a split second before the rest of the market.
Regulators worry that traders with the technical savvy and clout to gain access to flash orders will have a leg up, potentially buying or selling securities at prices better than what the market is offering other investors.
"Flash orders may create a two-tiered market by allowing only selected participants to access information about the best available prices for listed securities," said SEC Chairman Mary L. Schapiro. "These flash orders provide a momentary head start in the trading arena that can produce inequities in the markets."
The proposal to ban flash orders is part of a broader review at the SEC into how technology has changed the overall structure of the financial markets, including exchanges and other electronic trading systems.
Some investor advocates, regulators and lawmakers worry that major Wall Street firms are leveraging their access to powerful technology, loopholes in regulation and even geography to make fast trades that book large profits in ways ordinary investors can't.
Critics of these techniques have urged the SEC to examine another strategy called high-frequency trading, in which powerful computers make fast trades based on patterns that only computers can see. The SEC is also looking at so-called dark pools, which allow traders to buy and sell big positions without disclosing ahead of time what they're looking to trade. Also generating concern is co-location, a practice in which firms install their trading servers physically next to servers operated by stock exchanges to create a millisecond advantage over competitors in other countries.
Most on Wall Street say these practices benefit investors by greasing the wheels of the markets. For example, high-frequency traders are often the only ones willing to buy or sell large positions in stocks at any given time. Some who support the ban on flash orders worry that the SEC now may move to clamp down on other practices they consider beneficial.
"There's a real danger that the criticism of flash trading could lead to a desire to rein in high-frequency trading in general. And that could have some bad unintended consequences," said Justin Schack, vice president of market structure analysis at Rosenblatt Securities. "Anything that curtails the ability of high-frequency traders to do what they do today" would raise prices for investors.
According to research by Rosenblatt Securities, at least half of all U.S. stock trades are executed through high-frequency trading. In July, flash orders represented 2.8 percent of U.S. stock trading. Dark pools accounted for 8.5 percent.
The drive to crack down on flash orders has been pushed by several lawmakers, including Sens. Charles E. Schumer (D-N.Y.) and Ted Kaufman (D-Del.).
"The SEC has done what we asked for," Schumer said Thursday.
Kaufman, however, pushed for more.
"Now the SEC must examine the rest of the iceberg," he said. "For investors to have confidence, the SEC must ensure that high-frequency trading, dark pools, potential conflicts of interest and other market structure issues are not undermining the interests of long-term investors."
The SEC also took up Thursday proposals to tighten the reins on credit-rating agencies. These federally recognized companies, including Standard & Poor's, Moody's Investors Service, Fitch Ratings and others, give grades to securities. The companies gave high grades to many securities that turned out to be toxic during the credit bubble.
Among other things, the SEC on Thursday proposed new rules that would require more disclosure about the credit-rating process and asked for public comment on whether the SEC should allow agencies to be sued when their ratings are relied on for investment decisions that later go bad.
To take effect, the new rules would require a 60-day period of public comment and a vote from three of the agency's five commissioners.

Fifth place for Steven Frossard in Italy
April 16, 2010
MX2, Mantova, Lombardia, 12 April 2010
Team CLS Kawasaki Pro Circuit riders Steven Frossard and Jeremy Van Horebeek are still sitting in challenging 4th and 8th placing in the series after the Italian GP.
Frossard gated well and looked comfortable as he moved from third to second after a few laps of the first race, racing in the wheeltracks of the defending champion Marvin Musquin until he stalled the motor in a sandy turn. Such was the lead which the leaders had over the rest of the field that he was able to rejoin the race in third place, but, his chances of the win gone, Steven sensibly took no risks as he rode a lonely race to finish in that position. Van Horebeek also started well in 6th position and, despite suffering a little arm pump, advanced impressively to 4th by the finish to consolidate his series ranking.
The team had an unfortunate second race. Frossard was already on the ground before the second corner as another rider lost control and hit his front wheel. Rejoining the race dead last he persevered to salvage 10th place and 11 valuable points which could prove vital later in the season. Van Horebeek's second start was not quite so good, but he was quickly advancing through the pack until an error as he went to pass Simpson for 5th place forced him to pit to straighten the damage incurred in the resultant crash. Rejoining the race outside the points positions the Belgian recovered to 18th at the finish.
The disappointing season of Kawasaki Bud Racing Rockstar's Nico Aubin continued; he failed to score a single point from the weekend as he struggles to find his known form, but both the rider and team will work even more resolutely over the next two weeks to turn their season around.
Steven Frossard: 'For sure the weekend could have been better, but my second race was ruined just after the start when another rider lost control of his bike and hit my front wheel. I knew I had to try to recover as many places as possible quickly but I crashed again on the first lap and that left me dead last so I did pretty well to come back to 10th by the end of the race. The first race had been much better, but I stalled the engine in a turn when I was in second place and lost a lot of time; it's a shame because I had found a good rhythm and was racing with the leaders. Next week I will race a Dutch championship round in sand; it will be a perfect training before the GP at Valkenswaard.'
Jeremy Van Horebeek: 'I was satisfied with my fourth position in the opening race even though I suffered a little with arm pump. My start was not so good in the second race, but I felt much more comfortable and charged back to 5th position behind Simpson after a few laps; I was looking to pass him over a jump but my rear wheel slipped out just before the take-off and I crashed when I landed. I had to stop at the pits to straighten my front wheel, and then I just concentrated on captured a few points. It was a frustrating mistake, and I will be looking forward to making up for it at the GP in Valkenswaard in two weeks time.'
Nicolas Aubin: 'It was another disappointing weekend for me. The qualifying race was already not what I expect as I only finished fifteenth and I should be doing better. I held the same position in race one before I crashed mid-race and missed the points, but the second start was much better. I nearly got the holeshot but another rider pushed me out and I lost many places; after that I was trying too hard to recover, made a couple of mistakes and stalled the engine. The race was finished. It's frustrating for me and for the team as well of course; we've worked hard for several months, and I just hope that we'll start getting the results we deserved soon.'

Here are two places you can purchase the book: Smashwords ($2.99) and Amazon ($3.07).
A bargain at both outlets! You can view 20% of the book before you purchase.
This is actually the FIRST chapter I wrote about Arcadia's world. It is the start of the book I want to write... then I decided that I would start the story as if I were Arcadia, knowing nothing of her past, and that Book 2 would be everything she learns when she eventually arrives in the Polis.
So essentially Book 2 is the Prequel. But the reader learns of it as though they are in Arcadia's shoes - ie as the second book and not the first.
There will need to be a couple of changes before it is finalised, but this is the draft of the Prologue to Book 2. As with Book 1, it is from the point of view of one character in the book, who we don't hear from again, although don't worry - he'll be around! Nikau is my favourite character.
Anyway, here it is.
Book 2 - Kassandra's Story (Working Title)
My days at the hospital are filled with repetition. I see little of disease, which has all but been wiped out in the city. The wounds of battle seldom reach us here; our military is far too good for that. And above all, the people are strong, resilient, and suffer silently.
I pity them.
I've heard of Pures who choose to die rather than come in seeking assistance. It doesn't surprise me anymore. Too proud. I was walking home one night when I found a guy lying in the gutter, beaten up. When he came to, he shrank away from me so fast you'd think I was the one doing the robbing. I couldn't get him to come with me; he wouldn't even let me bandage his arm where he was bleeding.
They're going to kill themselves off at this rate. If it weren't for the babies, babies, babies… constantly I'm testing babies. It's the hardest part of my job.
Most of the time they pass the test. Just a quick heel prick, sample the DNA, record the results. Apply the nano-patch and wait. Twenty-four hours later the baby's still perfect. Not a trace of infection, rash, or allergy. But at least once a week there's an anomaly, and it's deemed Unworthy. The Unworthy ones, I mark on the wrist and tell the mother. The mother takes them away and I won't see them again. It's not easy, but it's the law.
Some days I think I will never understand them. It made sense when food was so scarce that raising only the strong was sensible. Noble, even, to think ahead for the future of your race. But that was so many generations ago that even my father's father would not have remembered want. Nowadays it seems unnecessary, but you won't catch me questioning their laws. I learned that lesson long ago, and bear the marks in case I should ever forget.
I am awakened from my thoughts by my beeper. Called to the desk, I see a woman standing there, straight and tall. Her back is to me but I already know she is Ephori, from her stance, how she wears her hair, how she dresses. How she commands attention even when she looks a little lost and out of place. I smirk. I'm going to have to watch my p's and q's today.
Then she turns, and time stops. Her eyes flit around the room, looking for someone – looking for me. Her hair is held back, bound tightly at the base of her neck, but I see it loose, falling in wave after golden wave past her shoulders and down her back.
It's been years. Three years and… nearly five months. But as soon as I set eyes on her I swear that the smell of her skin - dried salt and sunshine - reaches my nostrils. I can feel the warmth of her lips and the sand under my feet. It feels like only yesterday. It feels like a lifetime ago.
I realise that my feet have stopped, and that I am staring. My hands have dropped to my side. I blink and start moving again, and it takes a huge effort of will not to run the distance between us and fold her in my arms.
She watches me negotiate the furniture between us and smiles. "Doctor?" she asks. All I can do is nod. "I need to speak with you in private."
As I lead the way to my office, I wonder if she has recognised me. Not a flicker passed her eyes. Does she not remember me? No, she knows exactly who I am. She did ask for me by name, after all.
There is an awkward silence after we sit. I clear my voice. Once. Twice.
"You are well?" I ask. This is a hospital. I am a doctor. She is heavily pregnant. The intelligent mind begins to make an appearance.
"I am very well, thank you. You look… well."
She does too. She's pregnant, and blooming. She looks vibrant and she looks stunning. Instead I ask about her family. All Pureborn women love to talk about their families.
At the thought of her family, her eyes soften and she smiles. She looks into the distance and tells me that she has a son who is walking. She has not mentioned her husband.
"Your husband…" I begin.
"Does not know I am here." She looks at me intensely, her mouth in a tight line. The implication is very clear, and I remember exactly who he is. He could have my head for this. And hers. But that wasn't what I had been about to ask.
"Does he treat you well?" I ask quietly. I lean forward. I know these men. I know how Pureborn men treat their wives and their children. I see the physical effects of their cruelty, those that are too damaging to hide behind closed doors, to leave for nature to heal. I don't want to know that she is unhappy. I have spent too many nights wondering whether her husband could be any better than the others, wondering whether her broken body will be the next one I have to mend after "falling down the stairs". But I also don't want to know that she is happy. I couldn't bear that either. I clasp my hands together to hide the shaking, and I force my eyes to look into hers.
"I'm not here about him."
So I wait, and she asks me to do something unthinkable.

Pair sentenced for breaching ID ban on Bulger killers
Sunderland man given suspended sentence
Social media users Dean Liddle and Neil Harkins have each received nine month jail sentences suspended for 15 months at London's High Court for breaching an injunction banning the revelation of the new identities of toddler James Bulger's killers.
Liddle, is from Sunderland, Tyne and Wear and Harkins, is from Bridlington, East Yorkshire.
Sunderland man in High Court over information posted about Bulger killers
High Court action is being taken today against two men - including a man from Sunderland - over information posted on Facebook and Twitter in relation to the identity of James' Bulger's killers.
Images recently appeared on Twitter claiming to show an adult Venables, who was released from jail on licence with a new identity in 2001.
Publication of any image or information that leads to the identification of Venables or Thompson is prohibited, under the protection of a court order.
Jon Venables and Robert Thompson were jailed for life after they abducted and murdered two-year-old James in Liverpool in February 1993.
Neil Harkins and Dean Liddle, who is from Sunderland, are accused of breaching the injunction that stops identification of James Bulger's killers.
- Juliet Bremner - ITV News Correspondent
Venables tweeter: 'Love them to take me to court'
After he was contacted by the Attorney General's office Dean Liddle posted the following tweets:
But he quickly changed his tune when he received the letter saying that he would be prosecuted.
He then wrote and apologised, saying he had not fully understood the terms of the injunction and that he had seen the same images on hundreds of other sites.
- Juliet Bremner - ITV News Correspondent
Tweets with 'Venables picture' removed after an hour
The images were posted by Dean Liddle at 1.42am and removed less than an hour later, after questions were raised that they may have got the wrong people. The Twitter profile of Liddle had 915 followers.
The conversation that followed on the social network site said that it might be Venables and Liddle responds: "I was passed these by a friend if there is doubt about it being him I will remove."
He had earlier said in response to suggestion that child killers should be locked up for life: "I don't think that all child killers should be but after release he was arrested for child porn so agree here."
- Juliet Bremner - ITV News Correspondent
Men admit breaching ban on Bulger killers' identities
Neil Harkins and Dean Liddle, who are accused of breaching the injunction that stops identification of James Bulger's killers, have arrived at the High Court.
Lawyers for both men have indicated to the court that they accept that they are in contempt of the injunction.
The court has broken to give the men more time with their lawyers.

Home > About Us > News & Media Center > Former State Senator Hogan Endorses Planned Clarksburg Hospital
Published on July 21, 2010
Rockville, Md. - Former District 39 State Senator and longtime Montgomery Village resident, Patrick J. Hogan, this week urged upcounty residents and community leaders to support Adventist HealthCare's planned Clarksburg Community Hospital and Medical Campus. Hogan, who was also instrumental in helping to open the Shady Grove Adventist Emergency Center in Germantown, Md., in 2006, made his comments in a video posted on the hospital's web site and social media outlets.
In Hogan's video, he discusses the growth of not only upper Montgomery County but also lower Frederick County and how the Clarksburg location will provide residents with a range of health-care services the region needs.
Hogan said the Clarksburg plan is also the perfect complement to already existing health-care services, including Frederick Memorial Hospital, Shady Grove Adventist Hospital in the Gaithersburg/Rockville area and the Germantown Emergency Center on Route 118.
"The reason the Clarksburg plan is the right site for a hospital is that it splits that difference between a hospital in Frederick and Shady Grove Adventist," Hogan said. "It will provide all the different health-care services that people need."
Hogan also reinforces why he believes the 86-bed Clarksburg Community Hospital is the right hospital, as Adventist HealthCare has worked for years with the community to expand access to health-care services.
"Not only is the hospital needed in Clarksburg today, it will be needed in the future even more. So it truly is the right place to put it," P.J. Hogan said. "It's the right location and it will provide the health-care services as the county continues to build out."
The proposed $177 million Clarksburg Community Hospital is designed to serve the fast-growing populations of upper Montgomery County and lower Frederick County. The comprehensive medical campus, to be located directly off I-270 just south of Route 121, will also include doctors' offices, a child-care center, a primary care clinic for the uninsured and a nursing center for seniors. It is the only upcounty hospital proposal to have all major land, environmental and traffic approvals from Montgomery County.
Hogan was one of several key state legislators and county politicians to help Adventist HealthCare open what has now become the nationally recognized Germantown Emergency Center.
"This was a bold step for Adventist HealthCare to put an emergency center in Germantown," Hogan said. "Nobody else was willing to do it. They have a proven track record of providing health care."
In 2009, the Germantown Emergency Center provided medical care to more than 35,000 patients and has become a model for other states looking to open free-standing emergency centers.
Hogan is the latest of numerous well-respected supporters to vocalize their advocacy for the Clarksburg Community Hospital. Last fall, 11 of the 12 state legislators who represent upper Montgomery County wrote letters on two separate occasions asking the Maryland Health Care Commission to approve the Clarksburg plan and to preserve the Germantown Emergency Center.
"We are very grateful for supporters like P.J. Hogan who have given so much of their time and energy to the upcounty for many years," said William G. "Bill" Robertson, President and CEO of Adventist HealthCare. "Their valuable input into our Clarksburg project has helped us develop a comprehensive plan that will benefit the entire region not only today, but in the future. We look forward to continuing our work with the community in expanding access to health care services for the entire region."

Design row over Daniel Libeskind's Maze peace-building centre in Northern Ireland
As the man behind Berlin's Jewish Museum and several other conflict-inspired buildings, Daniel Libeskind seemed a natural choice to redevelop the notorious Maze Prison.
Daniel Libeskind's design for the new peace centre at the former Maze prison site near Lisburn, which is due to open in 2015, was a typically spiky, angular affair, as is the Polish-born architect's wont.
To the untrained eye his £18m proposals for the Maze, which were approved last month, appear rather similar to his other war-oriented constructions, which, for the most part, are concerned with the Holocaust and the Second World War.
The plans have now sparked a row in the architecture world amid claims that Mr Libeskind has failed to reflect the unique complexities and nuances of the The Troubles, with particular regard to what happened on the site where 10 Republican hunger strikers died in 1981.
In an opinion piece for The Architects' Journal, deputy editor Rory Olcayto wrote: "Now that Libeskind has become the go-to architect for clients seeking buildings that commemorate tragic events, there is a sense he believes all conflicts are much the same."
He added: "The problem is, unlike the Holocaust ... there's no consensus on much that happened during Northern Ireland's long sectarian war."
The criticisms prompted an immediate response from Libeskind, 66, who wrote a letter to the magazine insisting he had engaged with the conflict in Northern Ireland.
"The design concept for the PbCRC [Peace-building and Conflict Resolution Centre] evolved after extensive engagement with key stakeholders who were subsequently formed into six reference groups," he wrote.
"I did not say that the design of the Centre should reflect any particular group's story. I listened extensively to the multiple perspectives presented and what I said was, 'All stories should be told', which has been everyone's goal from the start."
The disagreement follows the broader criticism of Mr Libeskind's work that it all looks the same.
It was his design for the Jewish Museum in Berlin, which opened in 2001, that propelled him to fame in the realm of architecture. He has since designed The Military History Museum at Nuremberg, Germany, and the UK's Imperial War Museum North.
But his immediately recognisable style, which has won admiration for its representation of war and conflict, has also been deployed on a range of casinos and residential developments, including apartment blocks in Singapore and shopping centres in Las Vegas and Switzerland.
The British architect Piers Gough of CZWG said that Mr Libeskind is no worse than any other great architect, when it comes to repetition, though: "'Variations on a theme' is how you put it," he said.
"The world is vast, it's huge. It's not like we're overburdened with Danny Libeskind buildings. All great artists plagiarise themselves. I wish Danny Libeskind was more prolific."

I have a quick question for any body who's listening out there.
unfortunately, i am unable to go to Dolly's concert here in Kilkenny, Ireland this Sunday
but as a silver lining on the cloud, a guy from work is going and told me that he'd get me a t-shirt
problem is, he has TERRIBLE taste in concert t-shirts - so i was wondering if anyone there had a link to any previous tour t-shirts of Dolly's or even, fingers-crossed, the 2008 tour t-shirts , so i can show him which i would like?
much appreciated....please help!
