There's not much to go on here…actually, there's nothing to go on here, but leakster Twitter account evleaks has posted that there is a 'Lumia 1320' on the way and it evidently has the codename 'Batman'.
What to make of it? The '1320' designation suggests a new class of Lumia, positioned somewhere between the Lumia 1520 and Lumia 1020, perhaps something along the line of a not-so-big device i.e. less than 6-inches.
The codename 'Batman' could have all sorts of meanings, or none at all. The Lumia 1020 was called 'Elvis' on AT&T (and 'Eos' elsewhere) and there has been little correlation between those names and what the device actually entails. Still, 'Batman' is pretty epic sounding so perhaps like the caped crusader it has a few tricks up its sleeve.
Specifications, a release date, progress of the phone's development are all currently unknown. All we do know is that Nokia (and soon to be Microsoft) will have one heck of a portfolio, akin to the range of Android devices but with less mess.

==Hardware enhancements==
Revision as of 14:51, 21 April 2007
These are ideas that are unlikely to be implemented in the neo1973. Some are impossible for any device, some may be possible if technology improves in the future, when patents expire, or in othere models.
LASER keyboard (can be a full QWERTY keyboard)
- On the hardware side, this would require a $5 laser diode, a $3 (in bulk) custom diffraction grating, and probably a couple of cubic centimetres volume inside the phone.
- This requires a camera pointable to the front.
- It requires an integrated stand for the phone.
- To practically use this, you've got to be 40cm or so away from the phone, which means under 25*20 of text resolution.
- In software, it's relatively easy to parse the camera output, to find changes in the known laser field.
There are major problems.
- Patent issues.
- No tactile response at all, which slows typing.
- An extra 2cc/6g.
There are existing Bluetooth devices that do this. For example, this one from thinkgeek. --Alx 02:28, 29 March 2007 (CEST)
Alcohol Sensor
Alcohol sensor adjacent to microphone. It doesn't have to be accurate, just has to detect any amount of alcohol on the speaker's breath. I understand this is a very narrow market, but alcohol is on every parent's mind.
I think those who drive cars might profit from this feature too. --cedel 16:02, 20 February 2007 (CET)
- Although this is a good idea, you have to be very careful about liability here. If it gives a false positive (i.e. you're not over the limit), and you have an accident, the OpenMoko team might be liable.
Disinfection UV-Light
I had read about it in an Article on http://www.americanairandwater.com/UV-news/. But Motorola patents it. Yes - finally a way to stop the billions of annual deaths due to cellphone infections! --Speedevil 14:04, 16 February 2007 (CET) It´s just something that flying in my head... It´s not the first "unreal" or "useless" idea. Just for fun! --MookiE 14:51, 16 February 2007 (CET)
More seriously - UV of the required frequency is inherently eye-damaging. Also, as I understand it, there are actually no UV LEDs that will reliably produce 'germicidal' UV. The most expensive - and they are very expensive - ones produce UV of a sort that may kill very susceptible bacteria, but comparatively few. IIRC the LEDs are $20 per. --Speedevil 15:11, 16 February 2007 (CET)
Implementing a beaming-device to the Neo would make it the first phone enabling teleportation. See: [1] Possible implementation difficulties might be the lacking teleportation-support in the GSM standard as well as uncooperative mobile service providers that feel uneasy towards innovative technologies...
(Please get serious. You would obviously need more bandwidth to make this practical. Wifi would be better or at least 3G. maybe you could use Bluetooth with the right compression algorithms.)
V12 Embedded power source
We'll need something beefy to power the next Neos for the above gadgets, I propose the use of a Embeddable Power Source, that with some miniturisation and a bit of design work should be workable as a possible solution.
Floppy Disk Drive
For people stuck in the past who just can't let go of that last 3 and a half inches.
PCMCIA slot
Extensibility would be nice. Standard pcmcia would be great for allowing wireless too. And pcmcia cards tend to be very low power.
- 1. can be used for a spare battery (is this possible?)
- 3. i can use my Echo Audio Indigo I/O
- 2. can be used for different cards around
This is certain not to happen in a production phone, it's simply far too large, and requires complex support in hardware, which does not exist in most system on a chip devices as are used in phones. Even for the Expansion_Back it would be too large. --Speedevil 06:05, 28 February 2007 (CET)
Hard Drive
Providing a hard drive, will allow storing music, movies, etc. Add USB storage device capability to use the device as an external hard drive.
At least the initial devices will be phones. In a phone this is a bad idea. There may be future devices that it would be appropriate in.
Dump the egg-shaped case design and go rectangular for more screen space
- I'm all for devices that look great and have great features - aside from that I really like the current design. Thus I'd like to comment that the design change request is probably not the majority's opinion. Abraxa 00:00, 18 February 2007 (CET)
There will be many OpenMoko devices, of different designs. --Speedevil 06:19, 28 February 2007 (CET)
Flux Capacitor
The device needs a flux capacitor instead of a battery ;)
Power over WiFi
Using PoWiFi openmoko-devices could be powered by your pc-wifi-card or wifi-router. Charge your mobile at every wlan-ap with no plug-in required.
Another implementation might be power-over-bluetooth.
Bottle opener
- include bottle opener is very hard, but could be useful
- example
- It definitely is useful. A metal reinforced corner might be enough. While it is possible to open bottles with most cell phones they don't look too good after opening a few cases.
Hardware enhancements
Some small hardware enhancement could be cheap, but very useful. Please add your ideas/wishes here:
Integrate a Hard drive
I'm surprised no one thought of this, but its the first modification anyone does to at multi-media device. If an extension is made so that a 1.8" hard drive can be easily added or even made hot swappable, that would be wonderful. It's the next logical step to make this device perfect. I think everyone is missing the fact that if you make the device this flexible, most people will want to keep and store all their content on their device. Its very important that the hdd can be replaced when neccessary, if someone takes times to customize their device exactly how they want it, they will all want the option to add more memory when neccessary without having to buy a completely new device.
Also, the "pill-shape" look isn't very appealing to the business users, it gives it the impression that this device is only for the younger generation because its so "PSP-like". If you make the buyer's an second option of a rectangular shape it will more appealing to the business user.
Made Hardware Extension/Expansion for the Base Product
Market this device like a fully customizable PC;
- create a base device, (which you already did)
- add wifi and bluetooth(absolutely neccesary for any mobile device)
- make expansion hardware, that user can connect to the base hardware, (e.g camera & hdd; gamepad...etc)
- just like a PC the user will choose customizations that sue their needs.
- most important, the expansion hardware should NOT be a peripheral that has ridiculously long cables, it should fit snuggly to the device making it a little thicker than the base device.
- This mobile entertainment generation wants an all-in-one device. They want their cellphone, mp3 player, pda, digital camera(which takes good quality and sized pictures), video player to all fit in their pocket.
- That's why the ipod's hot, but that is why this is hotter, the user can get all those things and upload software to make it better it even better to their personalities.
If the hardware is made as customizable as the software, everyone will have one of these device, from the smallest child to a CEO of a corporation, because it can be made exactly to what the user wants. Market the expansion hardware, no-one will mind paying for the parts as they need them, but they will be very upset about not being able to do want they really want to do with it. No one will even think about looking at other devices. If the "regular joe/jill" has to buy a new part instead of a whole new device, which do you think he/she will choose?
The neo1973 is a phone, to be marketed as a phone. Future devices may be marketed in other ways. The shape and number of buttons is fixed for this device. Minor modifications may happen before it ships in September.
See Expansion Back for expansion thoughts. Extendable devices otherwise simply aren't really possible, unless you make the phone larger than needed.
The connectors take up volume, add unreliability, need mechanical fixings, and modules have to be larger than required to allow slight increases in size. --Speedevil 14:47, 17 April 2007 (CEST)

I know this is probably blasphemy, but I would love to see James Harrison in a Seahawks uniform next year. Tell me that intensity doesn't fit in PERFECTLY with this team. I realize that he is 34 years old, but I think he could be had for a reasonable 1-3 year deal if he knows he was playing on a team with a chance to win another ring. He is still playing at a fairly high level (70 tackles and 6.0 sacks in 13 games this season). I think for sure he would be an upgrade over Leroy Hill. Maybe not an every down player at this stage of his career, but would be very good in pass rush situations.
He does have two years left on his deal as of right now. However the Steelers are a projected 10 million dollars over the cap going into next year, and have a whopping $34.5 million tied up in three linebackers (Harrison, Woodley and Timmons). They are going to have to make some cuts and there have reportedly already been rumblings he may be a Steelers cap casualty after the season is over.
Agree or disagree that he would be a good addition to this defense?

Bipartisan gun control bill unveiled in Hartford
Hartford - With bipartisan consensus, legislative leaders put forth a bill Monday that requires universal background checks, expands Connecticut's assault weapons ban and bans the sale of large-capacity magazines with more than 10 rounds.
The bill, though, does not propose banning the possession of large-capacity magazines with more than 10 rounds, as proposed by Gov. Dannel P. Malloy.
"These will be some of the strongest laws on high-capacity magazines in America," said Senate President Pro Tempore Donald Williams, D-Brooklyn. "… I have talked to some of the experts across the country that have told me that first and foremost, turning off the spigot is critical."
Family members of victims of the Newtown school shooting came to the state Capitol on Monday to say that a ban on the possession of high-capacity magazines should be included in the bill.
"Whether it's in the larger bill or as an amendment, the families, and every resident of our state, deserve a vote," Malloy said.
But legislative leaders said they would be voting for the bill that was before them. They said they expected a vote in both the Senate and the House on Wednesday.
"There is nothing that will comfort them (family members of victims) in their pain, but I think they understand that we will upon passage have the most comprehensive gun laws in the country, and I am proud of that fact," said Senate Minority Leader John McKinney, R-Fairfield.
The leaders said they were hopeful and expectant that Malloy would sign the emergency certified bill even though it did not include the ban on the possession of high-capacity magazines. An emergency certified bill is a bill that does not go through the regular committee process.
House Speaker Brendan Sharkey, D-Hamden, said he is discouraging his caucus' members from proposing amendments to the bill or causing a lengthy debate. House Minority Leader Larry Cafero, R-Norwalk, said he had told his caucus members that he would not be supporting any amendments to the bill.
Sharkey said the House will not be taking up other gun legislation this session. But he added it would be looking at what comes from the governor's Sandy Hook Advisory Commission.
"It is definitely our understanding that there will be no further gun legislation" this session, Cafero added.
Under current law, private sales of rifles and shotguns are not regulated while the sale of a pistol or a revolver by a licensed dealer does require a criminal background check, according to the proposed bill.
This bill proposes, immediately upon passage, that no pistol, revolver, rifle or shotgun may be sold to any Connecticut resident until the buyer passes a National Criminal Background Check. This is required whether it is a private sale, a gun show sale or a sale through a dealer. One exception is that someone may bequeath a firearm to someone in their will, but that person would have to be determined to be eligible for the firearm by the executor of the estate, Cafero said.
Current law defines 66 banned assault weapons, but that would increase to more than 100, according to the proposed bill.
The measure would also be effective on the date of passage. Those who already own the weapons that would be newly added to the assault weapons ban would have to register their assault weapons with the Department of Emergency Services and Public Protection.
This bill proposes, upon passage, to ban the sale or purchase of large-capacity magazines that can hold more than 10 rounds.
A ban on the possession of large-capacity magazines was not included in the bill, but people who currently own a large-capacity magazine with more than 10 rounds would have to register it with Department of Emergency Services and Public Protection by Jan. 1, 2014.
"After January 1, 2014, any LCM (large-capacity magazine) that has not been the subject of such a declaration cannot be legally possessed under any circumstances (even if it had been possessed before the effective date)," according to the proposed bill.
"Every high-capacity magazine that is legal, we will know where they are and who owns them. That is unique among the fifty states," Cafero said.
If someone does not report their large-capacity magazines, and are caught, they would be a felon, Cafero said.
"You would risk losing all of your guns and also risk losing the ability to ever own a gun again," Cafero said.
It would be a class D felony to possess a large-capacity magazine as of Jan. 1, 2014 that was not registered, according to the proposed bill. A class D felony is punishable by one to five years in prison and a fine of up to $5,000.
There would also be limits on where someone can use a large-capacity magazine that can hold more than 10 rounds, according to the proposal.
For example, someone could not load more than 10 bullets in their old 30-round high-capacity magazine anywhere other than in the individual's home or on the premises of a shooting range.
Besides universal background checks, an expanded assault weapons ban and limits on high-capacity magazines, the bill proposes to require a state-issued certificate for the purchase of rifles, shotguns or ammunition.
As of Oct. 1, 2013, Connecticut residents would be required to show "either a permit to carry a pistol or revolver, an eligibility certificate for a pistol or revolver, a long gun eligibility certificate, a firearms dealer permit, or a combination of an ammunition eligibility certificate and a state issued photo ID" to purchase ammunition or an ammunition magazine, according to the proposed bill.
Therefore, to purchase ammunition or a magazine legally, Connecticut residents would have to pass a National Criminal Background Check.
The long gun eligibility certificate and ammunition certificate are part of the new bill.
"Never before has an eligibility certificate been required for the purchase of a long gun," Cafero said.
The long gun certificate means the person would have to go through firearms safety training, be fingerprinted and go through a National Criminal Background Check and involuntary commitment/voluntary admission check, according to the proposed bill.
If the bill passes, a long gun eligibility certificate would be required to purchase any rifle or shotgun as of April 1, 2014.
The ammunition eligibility certificate would go into effect Oct. 1, 2013.
The bill also proposes the first statewide dangerous weapon offender registry in the nation. This bill requires individuals who have been convicted of any of more than 40 specific weapons offenses or another felony that the court decides involves the use or threatened use of a deadly weapon to register with DESPP.
One way that the bill addresses gun control and mental health is to not permit individuals who have been involuntarily committed by order of the Probate Court to a psychiatric hospital within the past five years, to possess a firearm or receive a permit of eligibility certificate. Previously this time period only went back 12 months.
People who voluntarily admit themselves to a psychiatric hospital would also not be able to possess a firearm or receive a permit or eligibility certificate for the six months following their release from the hospital under the new law. Currently, voluntary admittance is not addressed in Connecticut's law.
"No one will be able to say that this bill is absolutely perfect, but no one will also be able to say that this bill fails the test when it comes to being the strongest in the country, the most comprehensive bill in the country," said Williams.
Ron Pinciaro, executive director of Connecticut Against Gun Violence, said, "There is still more work to do in the future, but it's a good year. This couldn't have happened in any other state in any other year."
Father of Sandy Hook victim found dead at town hall in Newtown after apparent suicide

The Fallout wiki has a new trailer offering an audio interview (conducted in an echo chamber) with Erik Dellums the voice actor behind Three Dog, the DJ from the Fallout series, who recently made headlines by teasing a possible return of his character. They specify right off that he's not there to discuss any unannounced projects, but they do discuss the reaction to his tweets like this, as he says neither he nor Bethesda thought this would cause the sensation it has, a naïveté he may be able to pull off, but it's hard to believe Bethesda did not no the reaction fans would have to a new Fallout tease.

My husband and I just found out we're going to have our first baby. We are very excited but I'm already stressing. He's white, I'm Latina. His family is very...opinionated. He and I have already started arguing about baby names (I want a Spanish name, he says it can't be too "ethnic" or his family won't be able to pronounce it), I want to baptize the baby and if it's a girl, get her ears pierced but his family isn't Catholic and he says they'll think I'm crazy for piercing a newborn's ears. The list goes on. This is supposed to be the happiest time of our lives but I am so stressed out. Please tell me how to survive the next nine months!
Mami to Be
Dear Mami,
Felicidades on your pregnancy! You have so much to look forward to before and after your baby is born: Taking pregnancy pictures, decorating the nursery, planning the baby shower. Let's not forget the opinionated in-law culture-clash-drama, because that's the reason your Happy Event is spiraling into a real life Spanglish sit-com (minus the camera crew and the cheesy laugh track).
What you are experiencing is not unheard of because, en serio, the drama is normal and that the good times to come will balance it all out while memories are being created. As long as your husband knows which team he's playing for now, I mean.
Managing marital bliss and parental involvement on the in-law front can be a delicate balance. They mean well and you mean well, but when you add culture-clash to the mix, things can get a bit sticky. Without a united front, it can be downright messy.
You met your husband before you got married, right? I'm only asking because if this is the first time the two of you have discussed religion and related parenting choices, you're doing it wrong. Sit your man down ahora mismo and ask him for his opinion. Then remind him that these are choices the two of you make as a couple, not one he lets his familia decide for him by proxy just to keep the peace.
When it comes to baptizing and ear-piercing, remember that both are common -- if not expected -- in Latino families, but not necessarily the norm for the rest of the world. (Giselle Budchen made headlines when she pierced her own baby's ears.) Have a heart-to-heart with your husband about what really matters to both of you, decide where you can compromise, and move forward confident in the choices you make as a couple.
As for the name, your husband has a point. I was once at a birthday party for a friend's 1-year-old and was asked by the Spanish-speaking grandmother how to pronounce her grandson's American name because she was embarrassed at not being able to say "Drake." You have many options for Spanish names that are also easily pronounceable in English, so don't go the doble r route just to prove a point.
Consider your pregnancy the practice run for the next 18 years. The sooner you and your hubby solidify that united front, the less stressed you'll be. -- Welcome to motherhood.

Special teams is probably the hardest one to look at. Even Marc-Andre Fleury is a tough one to look at. He has 42 wins, ties a franchise record had some great times throughout the year. Great numbers and getting under .850 as a save percentage is just not where he wants to be at, is at normally, has been at for the whole year long when he had 42 wins."
From 6/4. I never go to kdka.com because their website is awful.

It truly is free to look for over million near by personals for sex in Balmashanner
I just lately acquired this purple jeweled butt plug and possess been obtaining some entertaining experimenting with it. This early morning, I made a decision to slide my plug in and head to course. I wore navy leggings along with a gray wool sweater. When the plug slipped in, my pussy begun to drip. My lace thong was currently beginning to get soaked as I walked to course, the plug stuffing me so very good.I not too long ago acquired this purple jeweled butt plug and also have been getting some exciting experimenting with it. This early morning, I made a decision to slide my plug in and visit course. I wore navy leggings plus a gray wool sweater. When the plug slipped in, my pussy started out to drip. My lace thong was previously beginning to get soaked as I walked to course, the plug stuffing me so fantastic.
As course went on, I used to be crossing my legs and endeavoring to consider notes. This course was very chill and simple so my intellect was wandering. My smooth pussy lips have been drenched in my juices as I squirmed close to in my seat, my friends absolutely oblivious for the enjoyment I had been in. Forwards and backwards I rocked in my seat, subtly in order not to arouse any suspicion. Every time I rocked, the plug despatched waves of delight via me. Fuck I just required to slip it out and in of me and fuck myself. But becoming on edge similar to this was a distinct type of delight. I realized that when I finally bought off it will be as well fantastic.
I so desperately desired to rub my aching clit and have some aid. My swollen pussy was begging to get crammed, my intellect was cloudy in arousal and no volume of grinding forwards and backwards could reduce this primal will need. As course droned on, I used to be finding an increasing number of soaked. My panties were being uncomfortably clinging to my pussy lips and that i understood I'd personally must dress in all of them working day. I could odor how fucking damp I had been which manufactured my cheeks flush. There was no turning again now, I essential to cum. I used to be clenching and releasing close to the plug, gripping it so really hard, imagining a thick cock was fucking my limited ass.

Speaking of Salman, he is back with 'Wanted' on the 18th, the Eid release produced by Boney Kapoor and directed by Prabhu Deva. He plays a streetfighter and sharpshooter in this Bombay underworld flick, which also stars Mahesh Manjrekar, Prakash Raj, Vinod Khanna, and of course, the lovely Ayesha Takia. Lots more including the theatrical trailer at the official website, Wanted-theFilm.com. Stay away from its Wikipedia entry if you want to keep the special appearance(s) 'special'. :)
The average soundtrack (Sajid-Wajid) sounds better after having seen the trailers. Wanted is a remake (as acknowledged on the official website) of the Telugu film Pokiri (2006), which was also remade in Tamil as Pokkiri (directed by Prabhu Deva as well). Has anyone seen either?
I am really quite upbeat about it, and certainly more than enough so to go see it in theaters (the violence appears very filmy, which works for me). It caters to Salman's strengths, what with the action (he's really been one of the best at it since the outset of his career) and animated dance sequences complementing his efforts here. Should be a fun-filled core masala entertainer. All trailers and song promos available at this ErosEntertainment YouTube playlist.
Interesting time for Salman fans -- he's got others lined up before the end of the year in Main Aur Mrs. Khanna (with Kareena Kapoor and Sohail Khan) and London Dreams (with Asin and Ajay Devgan). The law of averages suggests he will end his box office slump with at least one. We'll see. Salman fans -- be absolutely sure to check out a really cool interview (with lots on Wanted) at BollywoodHungama: Part 1 | Part 2.
Also releasing the 18th is Dil Bole Hadippa (My heart skips a beat/skips to the rhythm), produced by Yash Raj Films and starring Shahid Kapoor opposite a Rani Mukerjee fresh from a makeover. She's looking great (does she ever not?), and here she'll be trying to make a cricket team. To combat the narrow-mindedness of her village folk, she'll have to pursue her dreams dressed as a man! The film also stars Anupam Kher, Poonam Dhillon, Dalip Tahil, Rakhi Sawant and Sherlyn Chopra. Plenty more at its official website. Of course, no Yash Raj Film is ever complete without a reference to Dhoom (*yawn*).
The music is well below par, and there's a little too much fluff and melodrama for my taste, which means I'll be waiting for the DVD. This YRF playlist has all promos.
Now, I hardly have anything against romantic comedies and chick flicks. I've mentioned before that Serendipity (2001) is one of my absolute favorite films, and it's the wit and subtle but abundant sex appeal that characterized that Kate Beckinsale and John Cusack starrer, that I'll be looking for in the Ashutosh Gowariker-directed 'What's Your Raashee?' (What's Your Zodiac?), releasing the 25th.
Gowariker has given us two of the finest films of the decade in Lagaan (2001) and Swades (2004), and Jodhaa Akbar (2008) wasn't bad either. Each has a song with specific mention of the stars or heavens which is beautifully directed -- Mitwaa, Yeh Taara Woh Taara, Khwaja Mere Khwaja. So it's only sequential that we get a complete film on the role of aligned stars! (Aside: And if you're into mentions of stars in film, you must see A Beautiful Mind (2001). Heck, even Serendipity has them.)
What's Your Raashee? has an intriguing theme, and I expect an excellent script and screenplay, and cool cinematography, although I haven't read the Gujarati novel -- 'Kimball Ravenswood' by Madhu Rye -- on which it is based. Trust Gowariker with his view of what cinema should be, and appreciate what he'll be trying to achieve through 12 Priyanka Chopras! Hope the film overcomes two potential roadblocks:
- Any true musical which has 13 songs needs to have really good and engaging ones, from the first to the last. The soundtrack to What's Your Raashee? (Music: Sohail Sen; Lyrics: Javed Akhtar), while quite good in some respects, leaves a lot to be desired. I've tried hard to like it as a whole (and that's key), but the best the music critic in me can say is 'not bad' at a 3/5. What will likely make it good is excellent integration, which we can expect from the director. I just hope everyone is prepared for a Gowariker outburst at the awards ceremonies next year (he's made it a trend) -- this soundtrack ain't winning a thing, although why Gowariker cares for awards is beyond me. =)
- The single biggest concern: Harman Baweja. His films (Love Story 2050 (2008) and Victory (2009)) have yet to prove he can keep up with the bare minimum acting requirements to entertain and engage the masses (and yes, those two films were probably doomed from the start because of lackluster scripts, but still). He is on the hot seat, and if the best full-time director in Bollywood cannot turn his career around, no one can.
Oh, well. Much more at the official film website: WhatsYourRaashee.com. Suffice it to say there are only two people I trust with quality cinema each and every time. Ashutosh Gowariker is one of them. This chick flick should click!
In other goings on, the A. R. Rahman soundtrack to Blue (releasing mid-October) releases this week, which means I sense a music review at some point this month. I'll also try to get some exclusives for you all for next month, hopefully some behind-the-scenes video of stunts, etc. (remember this?) Blue will be real fun.
And finally, I'll be blogging relatively sparingly through the next couple of months. There's a lot going on I'd rather make time for. Trust the films and music mentioned above to keep me coming back. In the mean time, you can follow me on Twitter (@theBollywoodFan).

Un-Sound Community Services
There are serious problems at Sound Community Services, an agency that is supposed to be using about $10 million in state and federal aid annually to provide outpatient psychiatric services in southeastern Connecticut, but seems to be doing a better job of enriching its well-traveled leadership.
So far those leaders and the board of directors charged with providing oversight have arrogantly refused to answer legitimate questions about operational problems at Sound Community Services and what appear to be rampant spending abuses. The state Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services has been too slow to demand accountability and fallen short in its responsibility to assure tax dollars are well spent.
If there is a good explanation for the top three officials to have charged $222,508 on the agency's American Express credit cards during an 18-month period as they traveled the country, we would love to hear it. As reported by Day Staff Writer Judy Benson on March 10, President and CEO Gail Lawson, Chief Financial Officer Cindy Kirchhoff and Chief Informatics Officer Christopher "Heath" Bish apparently earned plenty of frequent-flyer points.
Credit card records show the trio purchased 108 air travel tickets, stayed at hotels 56 times, and rented cars at least 19 times as they visited such places as Chicago, Fort Lauderdale, Tampa, Nashville, Erie, Pa., Washington D.C., and the list goes on. There was the $3,269 charged at Omni Orlando Golf Resort at Champions Gate. According to the resort's website, it is the "essence of luxury," a four-diamond resort featuring two "world-class" golf courses.
There were also stays at Hyatts and Hiltons and Crowne Plazas; no leaving the light on at Motel 6 for this group. There was also ample fine dining at steakhouses and seafood restaurants and many retail purchases.
So how did it serve the goal of providing quality mental health care here in southeastern Connecticut to run up the plastic on all these lavish junkets? No one wants to say.
Raising more questions is the operation of a consulting firm within the non-profit Sound Community Services. Ms. Lawson, Ms. Kirchhoff and Mr. Bish do double duty as the primary staff of the consulting company that peddles the CareLogic computer medical records system. Is this salesmanship the justification for all the travel and, if so, why are the expenses charged to Sound Community Services? Shouldn't promotion of a software system be kept separate and distinct from the operations of a non-profit agency that receives public money to help people with psychiatric issues?
So many questions, but so few answers - in fact The Day emailed more than three dozen questions to Ms. Lawson, Ms. Kirchhoff and Mr. Bish and Jane Cable, chairwoman of the board. This is what we got back:
"Audits are to be expected and independent and state auditors have always been satisfied with our procedures for accounting for income and expenses. We will be able to discuss the details of this matter only after the auditor has reviewed the records," Ms. Cable responded in an email.
The audit she refers to is the one the State Auditors of Public Accounts is now working on. But if there are rational explanations for all this travel, this intermingling of accounts, why await the results of an audit to provide those explanations?
These finanical issues would be troubling at any agency. But Sound Community Services is an agency that DMHAS is already monitoring because of complaints about client care, mismanagement, poor treatment of employees and high staff turnover. Last fall more than 400 of the agency's clients received letters telling them to go to primary care doctors or emergency rooms for their psychiatric medications because of a shortage of staff able to prescribe and administer medications.
In expeditious fashion state officials must determine the underlying causes of the problems and apparent fiscal abuses at Sound Community Services, deal with the situation aggressively, and be fully transparent about what they find and what actions they take. Taxpayers and the agency's clients deserve no less.
The Day editorial board meets regularly with political, business and community leaders and convenes weekly to formulate editorial viewpoints. It is composed of President and Publisher Tim Dwyer, Editorial Page Editor Paul Choiniere, retired Day editor Lisa McGinley, Managing Editor Tim Cotter and Staff Writer Julia Bergman. However, only the publisher and editorial page editor are responsible for developing the editorial opinions. The board operates independently from the Day newsroom.
With leadership change, morale improves, stability returns to Sound Community Services

But I emphasised that that wasn't my normal tip by saying "only" in my first post and I was labled a tightwad.
I'll tell you what, I've seen many garbage-hole bathrooms along the strip and many very clean ones. If there's a porter keeping it clean, I'll tip him too. I've noticed they used to have a tray for tips on the counter but they don't any more. Too bad.
Bad bathrooms:
Planet Hollywoood-For some reason, all their bathrooms are small and the dudes piss on the toilet seat all the time.
Cosmopolitan-Same thing as PH
Good bathrooms:
Venetian, Pallazo, Wynn, Bellagio, Aria, suprising a real good bathroom is the one in the Forum Casino at Cesars Palace. You have to take the escalator down but you leave the noisy casino and get a quiet, peaceful place where you can do your thing.
Let me get my two cent tip on this thread.
Tipping has gotten ridiculous.. I was cashing out recently at a poker room..Every cashier had a tip jar ! What ?
Just sitting there begging ?
Promark.. You meant well, but it was an insult to her.. Next time don't order a drink if you don't have enough to tip at least a buck..But she was out of line to make the wisecrack.
I would have calmly told the manager the story, let him decide if he wants you has a customer, or her as a waitress.
Don, it feels a little strange communicting with you in a different forum.
Your answer is probably the best one of the bunch. Yes, I just shouldn't have ordered the drink. Like I said before, and slot players are really guilty of this, when gambling, we lose our train of thought. I can't recall at which time I realized that I only had 45 cents (when I ordered the drink or when she arrived).
I did think of going to her manager, but when she appologized, that was good enough for me. She learned her lesson, and later I realized I didn't handle the situation professionally either.
At the Flamingo sports book, they got ticket writers with tip jars. Actually, it doesn't bother me that much. BTW, if you are in the Flamingo Sports Book, playing the races or sports, you get free drinks NO MATTER HOW BIG OR LITTLE YOU BET. No drink tickets, the waitress comes around and takes orders from everybody. The reason the sports writers' tip jars don't bother me is because if I'm tipping the waitress, why not the writers too? Remember, I appreciate a writer who moves the line along efficently without a lot of small talk as kick-off time is approaching.
If it's day time and there's no sporting events getting ready to start, I've seen Flamingo writers telling somebody who was going to make a futures bet on their team to win the Super Bowl to step aside and take a race bet of a horse race that was getting ready to start. That's real service!
Oh indeed you did the right thing after she apologized. It was over.
I have a problem with tip jars. The management thinks that people are making too much money then they cut back their salary. It winds up in management's pockets.
The old way was better, you could slip someone a little extra if their service was good. Now if you don't tip, even if you get bad service, everyone thinks you're a tightwad.
Personally, I don't care.. If I get terrible service. I might not tip at all
ProMark, you are a cheap piece of garbage. That story just shows what a pathetic human being you are. You are not entitled to garbage and you have to tip. If you cant afford it then dont get the free drink you friggin loser
Originally Posted by mafioso:Now, Had I cheaped it I would have made well over 8kBut I had a great time, My wife and kid had a great time, we were treated like royalty, Especially the hotel cleaning staff, I think we were the only room to tip them 5 bucks per day.
How the hell do you 'think' you were the only room to tip the 5 bucks per day? Did you interview every member of the cleaning staff or everyone staying in the hotel?
This is a tipping town? WHO THE HELL CARES? A TIP IS EARNED, NOT A RIGHT. AND FROM THE WAY YOU "SERVICE" PEOPLE HAVE ACTED, I WOULDN'T TIP MOST OF YOU.
This statement is flat out FALSE .. a lie!
Servers and bartenders, or dealers playing poker on their off day, are some of the biggest tippers there are because they understand their plight
You actually just said people who work for tips are tightwad tippers??????? Maybe you and your tightwad friends pro....... but not in the real world.
and one more note...........
Your a real brave person to run down and yell at a person who's clocked in at work too.
Hey pro.... i know your unemployed and all ...... but just imagine that if you had a job....... and were handcuffed because you got mouths to feed and cant lose your job.
Im willing to bet if you yelled and screamed at her while she wasnt clocked in, doing her job.......... she (or someone she knows) woulda whipped your monkey behind back to your chair in the back of the casino with your $0.45 to play penny slots........... REAL TALK

Are you not grateful for Rockefeller, Carnegie, Edison, Morgan, Tesla, Westinghouse, Vanderbilt, Ford?
Tesla got fucked over by Edison. Edison was a terrible person and a thug like the rest of them. Why would I be grateful for what they have done?
What is the difference between the way Edison treated Tesla, and the way you treat me?
Do you think Tesla would have been Tesla without being Edison's apprentice, IE teaching him everything he knows??
Do you think Tesla would be Tesla if JP Morgan had not invested billions in Thomas Edison?
Do you think Tesla would be Tesla if there was no free market or no America or Capitalist system that is capable of raising and investing billions of dollars into anything?
From what I know about Tesla, then that is a definitive yes to all of those questions.
Where did Tesla get all his investments? Where did his main investors get the money to invest in the first place? How did they get enough money? Not tearing Tesla down, he was a genius. But I don't think he did very much unless he was directly under Edison, Westonghouse, or JP Morgan... Perhaps later in life?
I would be interested in more information. I bet you know a lot more about him

Full Name
Peter Nyfeler
My first camera I bought was an Olympus C 2000 Z in 1999 and works fine till now. In 2001, I saw this nice panoramas on the web and was fascinated. It was unbelievable for me to spinning around, up and down. Since that time I have a virus called panorama. I bought a coolpix 4500 with all the necessary parts to produce panoramas. It was a really hard time to collect all the informations about panorama shooting and panotools. Probably I took the wrong direction, because I first learned all about taking panoramas and after this I learned how to take good photos.
Current Equipment
- Nikon D70
- Nikkor 10.5 mm
- Sigma 8 mm
- Monopod Head
- Coolpix 4500
- Fisheye Converter FC-E8
- Wideangle Converter WC-E63
- Tripod Head

Twillingate is a town in Newfoundland and Labrador.
Get in[edit]
There are several ways to reach Twillingate. From the western coast of Newfoundland, it is more convenient and faster to take Route 340 from the Trans-Canada Highway into Lewisporte and follow Road To The Isles (Route 340) through towns such as Campbellton, Baytona, Birchy Bay, Boyd's Cove, Summerford, Virgin Arm and a few others until you reach Twillingate island. If you are coming from the east coast of Newfoundland, taking route 330 (Cooper Blvd. in Gander) from the Trans-Canada Highway, through Gander Bay until you reach the Route 340 intersection, then turn right and follow Route 340 to Twillingate.
Get around[edit]
Twillingate is relatively easy to navigate through. When you arrive on the island via route 340, you continue straight to reach the main area of town or turn left for Black Duck Cove, a small community on the island. The next small community you will reach is Purcell's Harbour; another small, drive-through community. After that you will see Little Harbour. This community is similar to Purcell's Harbour and is drive-through. Drive another three kilometers and you will be in Twillingate. The first street you will see (and will already be on) is Toulinguet Street. On this street, there are several gas stations and stores for your convenience. On your left, the first street you will meet is Rink Road (Bayview Street) that will lead you to Bayview, another subdivison of Twillingate. This street will also lead you to the George Hawkins Memorial Stadium, home of the famous Fish Fun and Folk Festival. After that, Toulinguet Street will end with a final intersection. Turning left will take you to Main Street North and the famous Long Point Lighthouse while a right turn will lead you onto Main Street South that leads to Durrell.
See[edit][add listing]
Twillingate is known as a popular location for iceberg viewing and whale watching.
A must see for visitors to Twillingate is the Long Point Lighthouse; located in Crow Head on Main Street North. It's just a few minutes away from the town and has a beautiful area for looking out over the ocean to view whales and icebergs.
Other points of historic importance include:
Do[edit][add listing]
You can't visit Twillingate without going to the museums. Learn about the culture, heritage and people of Twillingate by visiting either the Twillingate Museum on Main Street North or the Durrell Museum on Museum Road, just off Durrell Street and Main Street South.
Going on boat tours of the island is a very exciting activity. Just don't forget to bring your camera! There are several licensed boat tours on the island like Iceberg Man Tours Cecil Stockley's "Iceberg Man" tours, the pioneering boat tour in Twillingate (est.1985), Iceberg Quest Ocean Tours at Pier 52, or Twillingate Adventure Tours on Main Street North.
Do a wine tour and tasting at Auk Island Winery in Durrell - taste wines made from local berries and iceberg water. Hike the numerous well-groomed hiking trails or enjoy local entertainment during the summer such as the Split Peas, All Around the Circle dinner theatre, Ada Jenkins' Backroom Sessions, [irenebridger.ca Irene Bridger's] gospel performance or a Kitchen Party with Karren Churchill.
Twillingate has a growing artist community. Visit Twillingate Gallery with the work of Nina Keogh and John Satterberg, Driftwood Gallery with Ted Stuckless' work, Paintings by Pearl in Crow Head featuring the art of Pearl Geiger.
Approximately five kilometers outside the town is Prime Berth - Twillingate Fishing Museum. You can visit the walk-in codfish trap here or see live rabbits. There are lots of exhibits and beautiful things to look at. A must see for visitors.
This is just a sampling of things to do in Twillingate.
Buy[edit][add listing]
There are lots of great shops in Twillingate where you can bring home beautiful souvenirs.
On Northside[edit]
On Southside[edit]
Eat[edit][add listing]
Twillingate is home to several delicious restaurants.
Coffee Shops[edit]
Twillingate has options for espresso addicts too: two delightful coffee shops offer a selection of speciality coffees:
Drink[edit][add listing]
A recommended visit is the Anchor Inn on the corner of Main Street North and Scott's Lane or North 99 on the corner of Main Street North and Back Harbour Road.
Sleep[edit][add listing]
If you are tired after all these activities, get a good night's sleep at one of Twillingate's many bed and breakfasts, vacation homes, cabins or hotel. They are located all across town, from Main Street North to Durrell to Little Harbour; there are many choices that would take up too much room to list. It is recommended if you are visiting during the peak summer season, especially during the Fun and Folk Festival in late July that you book early. Prices range from $60-$70 per night up to over $200 depending on where you stay.
Town Hall is on the corner of Main Street South and Blandford's Lane and can be contacted at the following address:
Town Of Twillingate P. O. Box 220 Twillingate, NL A0G 4M0

In an interview with NBC, Apple CEO Tim Cook has said next year, one of its Mac computer lines will be manufactured in the United States. The news comes on the back of Apple's new iMac computers bearing the words "Assembled in the USA" on the rear, and after many calls for the company to move its manufacturing away from China.
Before revealing the plan, Cook made a point to say several iPhone 5 components, including the screen, are already produced in America. NBC's Brian Williams, who was interviewing Cook, asked him how moving manufacturing away from China would affect the cost of the device. Cook countered this by saying it wasn't about price, but about skills, and that the education system wasn't geared up to provide people with the skills needed for modern manufacturing.
While Cook may bemoan the lack of education in this sector, he does hope Apple's decision to produce a computer on home soil will persuade other companies to do so. Although a Mac computer line will be made in the U.S. next year, exactly which one wasn't stated, leaving us to consider whether it will be an existing product – the iMac perhaps – or an entirely new line that will start its life being produced outside of China.
In an equally revealing interview with Bloomberg, Cook was also probed about Apple's manufacturing plans. There he says "we are going to bring some production to the U.S. on the Mac" next year, and that the company has been "working on this for a long time." Apple expects to "invest over $100 million" but says "that doesn't mean that Apple will do it ourselves, but we'll be working with people, and we'll be investing our money."
In addition to the jobs that could be created by bringing the manufacturing of Mac computers into America, Cook says Apple has "created 600,000 jobs" in the U.S. already – although some are indirectly, such as app development – and is currently building three new data centers in the country too.

Okay I really need your help with this one. Imagine--just hypothetically of course--that you and your four amazingly cute and normally well-behaved children are attending a family function. Let's just say, for the sake of argument, that it's a family Christmas party.
And then, let's continue with this supposition by saying that there's a moment where the cousins get to unwrap their Christmas presents from Great Grandma. Are you with me so far?
Well if your five year-old should happen to unwrap her present and find that it's a DVD of "Enchanted Princess Stories with Magical Moments and Happiness All Around" (not a bad gift is it? Is it?) but should be less than thrilled by the gift what do you do?
Not that this happened to me or anything. It--um--happened to a friend. Yea, a friend. And we'll call her "Carinne." Because it doesn't make me look so bad.
Okay I can't completely lie and put this on my poor sister, it happened to me. Lillian opened her gift and found a DVD. I never buy the kids DVDs so I thought it would be a novelty and that she'd enjoy it but she looked at it skeptically then turned up her little nose. Bad enough, right? But no, the real meltdown--the one of Chernobyl proportions that shall live hereafter in family history--was when all the cousins ran to various places to play with their new treasures and Lillian realized that she couldn't actually do anything with her dumb old movie.
She started to pout, she started to sulk and the grand finale came when she squawked about not liking the movie and threw the present--THE ONE FROM HER GRANDMOTHER WHO WAS SITTING RIGHT THERE IN THE ROOM--on the ground and stomped off.
Honestly? I've had kids do bad things before, I've had those moments where I've had to withdraw from a playgroup because I'd apparently brought the human piranha or where I've watched in horror while my previously potty-trained child filled her swimming suit while standing in line to get into the pool at swim lessons (no names). But this? Such deliberate behavior from a five year-old (FIVE years old!) was pretty horrifying.
Now you can bring up the mitigating circumstances by saying that it was Christmas, that's it's not a holiday or birthday celebration unless someone's getting in trouble and that you have to expect the occasional tantrum because of tired little bodies but I've lived with an attorney long enough to know that mitigating circumstances are only part of the sentencing and not part of the trial itself. She's guilty and she's in trouble. My question is--what should be her punishment?
When she threw down the movie she was immediately reprimanded (though it was hard to give her the walloping she deserved while everyone was looking on). I gathered up the movie and whisked it away then stuck her on a chair in the corner--yea, I know, the whole "time-out" thing is really a joke, she didn't care at all, you can tell by the look on her face but as I said it was hard to deal with it at a party. We talked about her behavior and how she was in deep doo-doo (to quote the great Jar-Jar Binks) but I need some help. Guide me, oh Mothers of the Internet, with your wisdom and experience and help me make a lasting impression on my wayward child.
Andrew and I laid in bed that night and he said, "Well don't give her the movie back for a while" which shocked me. I figure she's lost all rights and ownership and that she'll never see that movie ever. Would you give it back to her? Would you make her donate it to the library or some charitable institution? Would you throw it away? Would you spank her with it? (Okay I'm kidding here, even I wouldn't do that--talk about your therapy-inducing trauma. Being spanked with a princess DVD? Ha!) She's asked for it back but I haven't given it to her.
Help me out. It's like a pop quiz for motherhood or something and I've frozen.

Goodbye Mayor Finizio
It wasn't too long ago, when we were still in the tight grip of winter, that I heard Daryl Finizio talk about his aptitude for being mayor and his plans for running again, while dismissing the notion he might ever run for any other office.
So I can report, like most everyone else, I was surprised to hear him say last week he will not run again for mayor. And, really, how odd, to declare yourself a lame duck not much more than halfway through a four-year term.
He said it will make him more effective. It seems to me the opposite would be true.
Some critics of the mayor are suggesting they don't believe him, that the day will come when he will announce he's changed his mind, that there is more work to be done to help the city he loves.
But I choose to take the mayor at his word.
In fact, it wouldn't surprise me now if he outright quit before his term is up. I know it hasn't been easy.
So now that we have the city's first full-time mayor in generations declaring himself out of the next race, it seems we can start on the political obituary, at the same time we can look at how the rest of the field may be shaping up.
I would suggest the mayor's first term has been, in many respects, good for the city.
He has indeed seized all the levers of power and pulled on them, sometimes in the wrong direction, but usually decisively.
The city wanted a strong mayor and got one. Gone are the paper-pushing city managers of old. Here is someone you can choose to love or hate. Best of all, it's someone you can blame when things go wrong.
And, until last week, you might have relished the idea of voting for or against him when the time comes.
He has had a positive influence in other ways, things he probably wouldn't get credit for anyway, if he were to run again.
Most important, he shook things up, ran as an outsider and won. He proved that the city wasn't bound up in the politics of old, that voters could choose the prospect of new and improved.
I honestly believe he has also widened political participation in the city and brought more diversity and new faces to the table. For that, everyone should thank him.
On the other hand, he has proven to be a terrible manager.
Instead of hiring professionals to help him manage, while running the political side of the administration, as the new charter envisioned, he made some terrible appointments that have created consequences he can't outrun.
Indeed, some of these obvious mistakes are things that may have convinced the mayor he couldn't possibly win again, no matter how much he wanted to try.
Not only has his public works director with no experience proven incapable of the most basic aspects of the job, like clearing streets and sidewalks, picking up the trash or fixing a steam leak, but he has created serious problems that will haunt the mayor until the day he leaves office.
An investigation into alleged bid irregularities for a public works project is ongoing.
And a lawsuit that has helped ruin the city's liability insurance coverage is under way because, in part, the public works department ignored a state safety violation for the transfer station where a city resident subsequently died.
You can see why the mayor has refused to talk about that one.
I will miss the mayor for his theatrics and the entertainment value in that.
Who can forget his staged press conference at Riverside Park, when he made a grand entrance by walking down from the woods, before announcing he was killing the deal to sell the park on a technicality, never mind what voters wanted.
More recently there was the forum at City Hall where he donned a goofy boxing-themed hat and refused to even entertain suggestions from downtown merchants complaining about parking and snow removal.
His demeanor at that forum was so strange you have to wonder now if he didn't know then he wasn't planning to run again.
Some things and people will last beyond the end of the mayor's administration.
The attorneys Londregan will no doubt work for the next mayor. They have proven themselves survivors, and they know where all the bones are buried.
Sadly, the New London Development Corp., which the mayor promised to abolish, survives and still controls many of the deeds to Fort Trumbull. When I asked the mayor recently why the former president, the dark prince of eminent domain, is still listed as a member of the board, he said he didn't know anything about it.
I expect the mayor's police chief, who doesn't seem to report to work anymore, at least in any public way, will also probably survive.
Oddly enough, the chief who played such a prominent role in the last election, will likely outlast the two principal candidates who campaigned for and against her.
