Monster Hunter Stories Riding into North America on September 8th
Put the hunt aside, and ride.
Nintendo has confirmed the North American release date for Monster Hunter Stories, Capcom's turn-based alternative to their popular Monster Hunter franchise for the Nintendo 3DS. The game will launch on September 8th, bringing with it a whole new perspective on the Monster Hunter universe. In addition, a free demo will be available on the 3DS eShop beginning on August 10th. Check out a new trailer and synopsis from the game's official website below.
When a monster strikes, the fearful hide, but the brave? They ride. Venture into monster nests to collect eggs and hatch a wide array of species with uniquely powerful skills. Form teams, battle alongside them, crush opponents with combo attacks, and ride into the sunset a champion. Need more muscle? Then mix and match genes to create monsters with more abilities!
When a monster infected by the Black Blight attacks your remote village of riders, tragedy will thrust you into an exciting yet dangerous world, where you must bond with monsters on your adventure. As the story snakes along, you'll encounter a wealth of side quests and hours of challenging turn-based battles where you must coordinate monster skills, rider skills and enemy attack patterns. The rock-paper-scissors combat system is a series first, a breath of fresh air for veterans and newcomers alike. It's the perfect entry point into the popular Monster Hunter universe and a game unlike anything else in the series!

I love this time of year. It's still summer. Everyone is back at work. The kids are back at school, as are their teachers, so the beaches are suddenly uncrowded. This weekend is an exception as New Zealanders observe Waitangi Day on Monday, a welcome respite from the return to routine. Oh, alright, I realise that you Northern Hemisphere types are still wrapped up against the cold and megadosing on Vitamin C, but that's half a world away from where I sit.
Of course, there are those who seem to feel they have to work every hour God gives them. To them comes this sage advice from the ancient scrolls. No, not the Bible, Herodotus. And not Herodotus himself, but Pharaoh Amasis II of Egypt who, according to Herodotus, was advised thusly by his counsellors:
"Sire, you are not conducting yourself properly by pursuing worthless pastimes. You ought to be seated solemnly upon your stately throne, transacting affairs of state throughout the day; that way, the Egyptians would know that they were being governed by a competent man, and your reputation would improve. But as it is, you are not acting at all like a king."
To which the pharaoh replied:
"When archers need to use their bows, they string them tightly, but when they have finished using them, they relax them. For if a bow remained tightly strung all the time, it would snap and be of no use when someone needed it. The same principle applies to the daily routine of a human being: if someone wants to work seriously all the time and not let himself ease off for his share of play, he will go insane without even knowing it, or at the least suffer a stroke. And it is because I recognize this maxim that I allot a share of my time to each aspect of life."
Though I wonder whether the lowly citizens of Egypt were blessed with the ability to follow this ancient endorsement of a balanced lifestyle, nonetheless it stands as great advice long centuries later.
Have a great weekend!

Oh, sure, you people are upside-down and start the weekend first.ReplyDelete
As for respite, to sort of paraphrase the CGI guru / leader who wants to become erstwhile, we should observe the Sabbath to recharge our batteries, no matter which day it falls on. And going out and having fun should be a part of it.Replies
You mean GCI, right? CGI is Jamaica's Ian Boyne and the lads with HQ in Tyler. Nice folk, but not fans of Joey.Delete

Voluntary mental health treatment
Northern Territory Mental Health Line: 1800 682 288
Voluntary admission is when you request to be admitted for mental health treatment. This can also be on the advice of your doctor or guardian.
You can ask to be assessed for admission.
You can request voluntary admission if you are any of the following:
- over 14 years old
- a parent or guardian of someone who is under 18 years old
- an adult guardian.
Giving informed consent
Informed consent must be given for voluntary admission and treatment.
This means all of the following must apply:
- you have agreed to admission without any pressure
- you have been given information about your assessment, admission and proposed treatment and had any questioned answered
- you understand what you are agreeing to
- you have been told you can withdraw your consent at any time.
You will be asked to sign a form to say that you have given informed consent and you know what that means for you.
If you can't give informed consent
You may be admitted and treated as an involuntary patient, if your doctor thinks you should be admitted.
Your doctor can then apply to the Civil and Administrative Tribunal (NT CAT) to decide if you can give informed consent.
If you are under 18 years old
Community based treatment is preferred if you are under 18 years old.
If a young person needs treatment in a hospital, they will be cared for separately from adults where possible.
If this isn't possible, then one-to-one nursing will be arranged.
Admission: what to expect
When you arrive at hospital you will be examined by a doctor to see if you need to be admitted, and to make sure you give your consent.
Within 24 hours another doctor will examine you to decide if you still need to be in hospital and give you consent to be admitted.
If either doctor decides not to admit you, they will tell you why and explain that you need to apply for the Mental Health Review if you want to.
Telling someone where you are
It's a good idea to let someone know you have been admitted to an inpatient unit so they know you are safe.
Staff will also know who to contact if something changes and/or you are ready to be discharged.
Usually it is the primary carer who must be informed, especially if you are under 18 years old.
If you have an adult guardian, they must be told and give their consent to treatment.
Treatment: what to expect
Treatment may only be given with your consent or the consent of an adult guardian.
If the adult guardian is asked to give consent, the NT Mental Health Service must give enough information to make an informed decision.
If the doctor has applied to the tribunal to decide whether you can give informed consent, they can treat you while they are waiting for a decision if any of the following apply.
- to prevent you hurting yourself or someone else
- prevent you doing something that is likely to harm you or someone else
- prevent you from becoming more unwell.
How long you can be admitted for
There is no maximum time you can be admitted for as a voluntary patient.
However, if you are admitted for six months, the tribunal will review your admission. If admission is still needed, and you can give informed consent, your treatment will continue.
If the tribunal decides you no longer need inpatient admission it can order for you to be discharged.
You have the right as a voluntary patient to leave at any time.
The doctor has the responsibility to discharge you if it is in your best interests or they believe that you will not benefit from a longer admission.
With your permission and/or if the doctor believes it is in your best interests, your carer will also be told that you have been discharged.
Your rights as a voluntary patient
Go to rights of mental health patients for more information.

I suppose in common with most people, I first came upon this wonderful "ancient instrument" stuff on the Harvest sampler "Picnic". This featured the song "Glenlogie" from the second and final such album by Shirley and Dolly Collins viz "Love, Death & the Lady".
This is another truly beautiful record, though in my view not quite as good as "Anthems in Eden". The title is most apposite, the first track being a version of "Death and the Lady", and the rest of the songs concerning lust, love and death.
The cover is like Fleetwood Mac's second LP " Mr Wonderful" in that it shows a large face (here that of Shirley Collins), but at right angles to the norm.
You have to open up the gatefold sleeve and turn it through 90 degrees to get the correct picture, here showing Dolly's disembodied face.
This record does, I have to say, contain one of my all time favourite songs, "Plains of Waterloo", the opening words of which are the only lyrics printed on the cover.

Key Difference – Balance vs Stability
Although the two words balance and stability have somewhat similar meanings, they cannot be used interchangeably. There is a distinctive difference between balance and stability, especially in terms of body movements. When we are talking about the movements of the body, balance refers to the ability to maintain the control of the body in a still position whereas stability refers to the ability to maintain the control of the body while in motion. This is the key difference between balance and stability.
What Does Balance Mean?
Definition of Balance
The word balance has many definitions, and it acts as a both noun and a verb. The Oxford dictionary defines the noun balance as "an even distribution of weight enabling someone or something to remain upright and steady" or "a situation in which different elements are equal or in the correct proportions". As a verb, balance means to "put (something) in a steady position so that it does not fall".
Balance can also refer to an apparatus that is used for measuring. The following example sentences will help you to understand the meaning and usage of the word balance better.
Balance as a Noun:
The child lost her balance and fell on the ground.
She always tried to keep a balance between her office work and her household chores.
I had trouble keeping my balance as the boat rocked back and forth.
The journalist had interviewed both political parties to provide balance to his story.
Balance as a Verb:
The women balanced six clay pots on their heads while dancing.
The critique balanced his radical comments with familiar ideas.
The cost of this construction was balanced with its benefits.
What Does Stability Mean?
The noun stability stems from the adjective stable since it refers to the quality or state of being stable.
Definition of Stability
Stability can specifically refer to
– Resistance to change, deterioration, or displacement.
– Constancy of character or purpose; steadfastness.
– Reliability; dependability.
When we are talking about the movement of our body, stability refers to the ability to control the body during movements. So, a graceful dancer would have a high stability whereas a clumsy person would have low stability. Look at the following example sentences to see how this noun is used in sentences.
The country has finally reached economic stability, 25 years after the end of civil war.
The wing-like structures on the hull create stability and prevent it from flipping over.
The children need some form of stability after the conflicts of recent years.
This decision was taken in the interests of peace and stability of the country.
What is the difference between Balance and Stability?
Balance is an even distribution of weight enabling someone or something to remain upright and steady.
Stability is the resistance to change, reliability, or steadfastness.
Balance refers to the ability to control the body when you are not moving.
Stability refers to the ability to control the body when you are moving.
Grammatical Category:
Balance is used as a noun and a verb.
Stability is used as a noun.

140? Why stop there? Your tweets are about to get longer
Almost a year ago, I proposed that Twitter double its character limit from 140 to 280. The microblogging site long ago outgrew its original purpose as a platform for simple status updates.
Now people use Twitter for news, jokes, conversations and ferocious arguments — and 140 characters is too cramped. That's why people often resort to hacks like multipart tweets, ugly textese and TwitLonger to express their expansive thoughts.
Though it would be a bad idea to drop the character limit entirely, allowing up to 280 characters would let people add more heft to their tweets while ensuring they wouldn't drone on.
Everyone thought I was nuts. People at the company pointed out that the service still stis used by lots of folks who rely on SMS text messaging for access; the 140-character limit was originally chosen so that tweets would fit within texts, and if Twitter dropped it, texters wouldn't be able to see the bigger tweets.
Lots of folks on Twitter called me a moron, too, and I had a long, mostly incoherent argument about the merits of longer tweets with Mathew Ingram, a blogger at GigaOm, who wrote a piece calling my idea "dumb." And not long ago, I went to a dinner at which Twitter CEO Dick Costolo talked about the bad advice people had given the company over the years. One of his examples was the recurrent proposal to drop the character limit. The audience laughed at the stupidity of the idea.
Imagine my surprise, then, when I read last week that Twitter is beginning to push past the sacrosanct 140. In a blog post, the company announced the creation of "expanded tweets," which will allow for "interactive experiences" within boring old text-laden posts. Technically, all tweets can still be only 140 characters long. But the company is letting select organizations - including The New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, BuzzFeed, TMZ and the WWE - append more stuff to tweets that reference their content.
For instance, if I link to an article, my followers will now see a little button on the tweet labeled "View summary." If you click that, you'll see hundreds more characters: The article's headline, the author's byline and Twitter handle, the publication's Twitter handle, a photo from the piece, and even a short snippet from the article.
Twitter has posted guidelines for sites looking to create these in-tweet "media experiences," and they specify exactly how much more expansive the new tweets can be. Headlines in supersized tweets can be 70 characters long. Snippets can be 200 characters long. And that's on top of the main tweet, which can be 140 characters long. Add it all up and you get 410 characters! I can already picture the billboard. Expanded Tweets - fortified with 270 more characters!
Expanded tweets are a great development for Twitter, a way to add depth to the service while still clinging to its hyperabridged roots. In truth, expanded tweets have been around for a while - if you include a picture or a video as part of a Twitter message, then your followers can click to see it. This continued tweet expansion was inevitable. A shrinking percentage of Twitter's user base accesses the site through SMS, so the 140-character limit was becoming increasingly arbitrary (SMS users will still see all Tweets, but they won't be able to see the expanded summaries). Instead, most of us get our tweets on the Web and on smartphones, venues that allow for richer content.
As expanded tweets roll out to all users on all devices, we'll find that posts that pack 410 characters worth of information will make the network a deeper, more coherent source of news and conversation.
For one thing, expanded tweets will make Twitter feel less disjointed. Expanded tweets will let you see what's behind links before you click on them. They'll also let you follow your favorite writers right from tweets that link to their pieces. And as Twitter adds similar expansive summaries of other kinds of content, say, reviews when someone links to an Amazon product, the experience will become more engaging. Twitter won't be a place that's always sending you away to other things. Instead, it will become a destination.
One criticism of expanded tweets is that Twitter has only allowed a few organizations to get expansive. Why do links to The New York Times get expanded but not links to your favorite Ryan Gosling-themed Tumblr? As blogger Dave Winer put it, "no one should think that this is a level playing field, that all content is treated equally, because that is not true."
In a conversation with a Twitter spokeswoman, though, I got the sense that the preferential treatment is only temporary, part of a slow rollout of a complex technical change. At the moment, Twitter is letting any site apply to have its content show up as expanded summaries. Over time, it seems likely that more and more sites will be allowed to automatically expand into summaries within tweets.
A bigger-picture criticism is that, by offering more and more stuff within each tweet, Twitter risks becoming something altogether different from a quick-update site. This fear rests on the idea that there's something mystical and poetic about the current character limit. Many people argue that it inspires creativity, and that without it, Twitter would get bogged down in endless talk and too many flashy things.
Costolo himself has fretted about this. In a Fortune interview last year, the CEO was asked whether he felt pressure to make Twitter more dynamic in response to other, more feature-rich social networks. "You know, if you just look in the sideview mirror at what are particular companies doing, and then you start to say, 'Twitter is going to be the world in your pocket - now with video chat!' - then you lose your way, right?" Costolo said. "So, we're going to offer simplicity in a world of complexity, focus on our goal, while we understand what everyone else is doing."
I don't think money is Twitter's main reason for expanding tweets. The more simple explanation is that small blocks of text are becoming more and more out of step with everything else online. The Web is a bustling place that's overflowing with pictures, movies, songs and blog posts. Twitter's purpose is to reflect everything that's going on in this crazy ecosystem. If it takes a few hundred more characters to do so, what's so bad about that?

I've just watched an episode of Elementary and it raised an interesting point – are Holmes' abilities a gift facilitating interesting work, or an illness that he uses the work to treat?
In episode 18 of season three, 'The View from Olympus', a causal lover asks Holmes to have a child with her. She doesn't need him to have a relationship with either the child or her, she just needs him to (to put it delicately) do the biology. Towards the end of the episode, there's a wonderful scene when Holmes finally explains to her why he must decline her offer.
She had previously tried to persuade him by telling him he is remarkable and a good person for using his abilities to help people. In their final scene together Holmes agrees that he is remarkable, but explains that this is the very reason why he can't have a child:
"The things I do, the things you care about, you think I do them because I'm a great person, but I do them because it would hurt too much not to. It hurts Agatha, all of this (pointing out of the window across the city), everything I see, hear, touch and smell, the conclusions I'm able to draw, the things that are revealed to me, the ugliness. My work focuses me, it helps. You say that I'm using my gifts; I say I'm just treating them. So I cannot in good conscience, pass all of that onto someone else."
I found this so touching, a clever and more sensitive interpretation of Holmes' abilities than the usual 'Look at me I'm brilliant' approach. I have always argued that Holmes' abilities to see connections between things, hidden meanings, minute observations, are more like a compulsion than a choice. I've explored this in my own writing, likening it to a form of OCD, an addiction almost. If it wasn't for being able to channel them into his work, they would consume him.
I think Elementary explored this in a very eloquent and sensitive way, better than I've seen done before. It's a very modern interpretation of Holmes, the flawed hero battling mental health issues and addiction. This suits a contemporary audience well I think. We need to get inside the heads of our heroes; we want that level of analysis and complexity, the tortured genius. Conan Doyle hinted at these things in the canon but its shows like Elementary and Sherlock that dare to take them one step further. Holmes is evolving before our very eyes.

Enter the Ninja: A startup attempts world domination on "Internet of Things" from Australia
You might have heard of Ninja Blocks. The Sydney-based startup first came to the world's attention last year with one of the most successful pre-Pebble hardware campaigns on Kickstarter. The Ninja Block, a small device with built-in sensors that allowed users to link the Internet to actions in the physical world, raised more than $100,000 in pledges and shipped out to customers only a couple of months after deadline – almost unheard-of in the world of hardware projects on Kickstarter.
The device was nifty, enabling a kind "If this then that" for stuff. Want to get an SMS when the washing machine is done? No problem. Need to know when the cat has jumped on the kitchen table? The Ninja Block can send you a Tweet to let you know.
But Pete Moore saw a bigger opportunity. Moore, who had sold his previous software company to Aussie giant Atlassian, had been introduced to the company as a potential investor and was considering coming on board as an advisor. But he noticed that it wasn't taking advantage of the cloud. With the original co-founders stepping aside, Moore ultimately took over the reigns and re-focused the company on building a platform that he hopes will help standardize how the "Internet of things" – or, in less jargonistic terms, the world of connected devices – ultimately operates.
Essentially, Moore wants Ninja Blocks to do for connected devices what Twilio has done for telephony. Twilio is a cloud-based platform that takes the fuss out of telephony and lets developers interact with its API so they can easily build voice and SMS communication into their products. It also operates on a software as a service (SaaS) model, so there are no contracts and you only pay for what you use.
To get a sense of how that would work in the connected devices world, consider the humble toilet paper roll. If you had a sensor on your toilet roll that activated whenever the paper ran out, you could set up a system that allowed a message to be sent to Amazon in order to deliver a fresh roll to your door by the next day (although hopefully you have a few back-ups in the meantime). But by being able to tap into a platform's API, then you no longer have to build that sensor – for example, the original Ninja Block – yourself. That means the toilet-roll-refresher system could become a software-based business in its own right. You could start to sell products as services.
Moore reckons that the idea of "home automation" is less compelling than enabling the component parts of home automation that could have a wider application, or could be built upon by developers. For instance, he's interested in enabling the ability to turn devices on and off by measuring energy use, temperature, or touch as interesting. So rather than being the company that might build the next Nest, or Philips Hue, or LifeX, it is attempting to position itself as the mediator that allows smart devices and the sensors to talk to each other in a meaningful way.
For now, Ninja Blocks is selling connectivity as a service, and has cut some deals with manufacturers to build its tech into their products. It also charges for raw API use. Through those means, it is currently doing about $100,000 a month in revenue, Moore says. But the plan is to move to a model in which it charges developers for access to the services it enables. Moore says the company is very focused on building up a developer community, and that it measures its success in part by how popular its forums are. It has about 2,000 developers signed up to the forums, about 500 of which are active users. In total, it has sold about 3,500 developer kits.
Ninja Blocks' biggest challenge – aside from operating in Australia, a remote corner of the planet – is that is competing in a fragmented marketplace into which a number of big players, including Cisco, are stepping. Other startups in the space include Xively, ioBridge, and Wovyn.
Ninja Blocks last year raised $1 million in seed funding, with participation from Australian fund Blackbird, Atlassian founders Mike Cannon-Brookes and Scott Farquhar, and 500 Startups, among others.

Islooites, How Do You Plan to Celebrate the Independence Day this Year?
I have vivid memories of celebrating Pakistan's Independence Day in my childhood. Yes, every 14th August, I along with my cousins performed the same rituals of buying loads of buntings and flags, decorating my grandmother's house with flags, buntings and candles, waking up early morning on 14th August to watch live the flag hoisting ceremony from Islamabad and listening to the patriotic songs sung by Sohail Rana's trained and directed children choir. Nevertheless, one thing I always missed was the "21-gun salute". A lot many of you would have followed the same rituals of celebrating the 'Independence Day' during your childhood.
I am a grown up adult by now. However, I stopped celebrating the "Independence Day" with the same zeal I used to celebrate this day in my childhood. Yes, I stopped because I was frustrated by listening to 'mere patriotic slogans' every independence day whereas in reality I observed people neither abiding law, nor honoring our constitution and thus polluting the 'land of pure' to the extent that It has been ranked among top ten failed states in Foreign Policy Magazine's "Failed States Index 2009". Nevertheless, during all those years of 'not celebrating' the Independence Day I loved hoisting a national flag on the roof-top of my house in Lahore. But this was it all, I spent the whole day every year sleeping and resting in my room celebrating "my holiday" from work. However, I commemorated the Independence Day in 2007 & 2008 with my fellow Pakistani and Australian students in my university in Melbourne (Australia) by dancing in university with our national flag. Well, yes Pakistan with its bad reputation across the world and its ranking among top ten failed states of the world is my 'identity'.
This year, when I am in Pakistan again and Pakistan's 62nd Independence Day is only a week's away, I am wondering how to celebrate this day other than urging my friends to 'Go Green Pakistan' and change their display pictures on facebook in order to show unity as a 'nation' at least for one single day . My question to all of you Islooites is "How do you plan to celebrate the Independence Day this year (if this day really means anything to you)?"
Happy Independence Day to all of you !!!

'March for our Lives' panel advocates voting, conversation to promote harmony on gun issues
From Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, a group of recent graduates where a Feb. 14 shooting rampage left 17 students and staff members dead and injured 17 others have traveled the country to spread their ideas and hopes about ending gun violence.
After touring the Civil Rights Museum and the home of Medgar Evers on Thursday, the teens conducted the "Unity in the Community & Peace in the Streets Rally," which involved a cookout and voter registration in Presidential Hills Park 2 in Jackson.
"This is all about communicating with people and making them understand how important participating in your democracy is," said Delaney Tarr, a recent graduate of Marjory Stoneman Douglas High.
The Florida students elaborated on some of their key talking points at a Town Hall meeting Thursday night. Joining them on the panel were several students from metro area schools.
The message, they said, is not one of dissent, but ultimately unity.
"Talk to your friends, talk to your family, talk to people who have different ideas on this issue and find that common ground, because we all want to reduce gun violence, just that people have other ways of thinking about it," said Marjory Stoneman Douglas graduate Robert Schentrup, who lost his sister Carmen in the mass shooting by a former student armed with an AR-15 rifle. "Once you realize you have that common goal, you can really come together and make compromises and finding things you're really willing to agree upon."
"You will not have the same views I have, and that's absolutely beautiful," said fellow graduate Diego Pfeiffer. "It's what makes America America, and that's how we reach a great compromise."
The group also confronted the idea that they are part of an anti-gun movement. Students emphasized that they're not anti-gun, they are against gun violence.
"It's just honestly 100 percent not true. We only want to have that well-regulated portion of our Second Amendment adhered to," Pfeiffer said.
"We are non-partisan. We don't support candidates, we support policy," said Sophie Whitney, a graduate of Marjory Stoneman Douglas.
Some of the questions on the panel were directed to the metro area students, including one on how to stop gun violence on the streets of Jackson. One of the panelists said education is the answer.
"Before we're able to automatically have this action plan about what we can do about guns, we also have to have an action plan about what other factors in Jackson can we alleviate which will indirectly or directly affect gun violence. People kill, and people do what they do — rob and stuff — because they don't have," said Macy Brown, a Murrah High School student.
Some said social media is a good way to get the message out.
"I've seen with March for our Lives, a lot of talk and buzz has been raised by using the platform of social media," Brown said. "I really feel like since so many young people use social media, that can be a tool that we use to publicize these issues and really fight for our cause."
Others feel it's a conversation that needs to take place in the home.
"This is a conversation parents should have with their students," said Callaway High School student Leslie Smith. "Some students don't listen to what someone they've never met has to say, but they'll listen to people they know at home."
The NAACP has announced a partnership with the Parkland students to help increase participation among younger voters, which they hope will benefit the whole country.
"You guys have to help," Whitney said. "When we leave this room, the conversation can't end. You have to keep talking to each other and you have to have difficult conversations."

What? Surely it's Twelfth Night or Twelfth Day. Indeed, whilst that debate rages about….and some people take them down on Boxing Day I hear. But the real debate is Twelfth Night or Candlemas?.
This debate certainly is quite germane with me, who sits here, composing this post on the 25th January in the shadow of a fully decorated Christmas tree! Why I'll explain in a minute. However, when discussing the fact I still had the tree up on Plough Monday, Frank a folklorist and local Historian said 'You'll get back luck then' to which I replied with the following fact from what I had discovered researching customs, that Christmas decorations were to be burnt at Candlemas north of the Trent of Nottingham, where it is said that candles must be thrown away.
He was apparently unaware of the custom, but delving into an array of customs it appears that the Northerners were not the only ones exempt! Further research suggests that it is a custom which has waxed and then waned over the centuries to such a point that no-one would be aware of it largely. Certainly in the 17th century the custom prevailed as noted by the poem 'Ceremony upon Christmas Eve' written by Robert Herrick in 1648. He records:
"Down with the rosemary, and so,
Down with the baies, and mistletoe
Down with the holly, ivie and all,
Wherewith ye drest the Christmas Hall,
That so the superstitious find
No one least branch there left behind;
For look, how many leaves there be
Neglected, there (maids trust to me)
So many goblins you shall see."
The poem was adapted by Edgar Pittman into Candlemas Eve Carol and similarly the carol Farewell to Christmas notes:
"Here have I dwelled with more & less
From Hallowtide till Candlemas,
And now must I from your hens pass;
Now have good day"
Herrick in his Upon Candlemas Day poem also wrote:
"End now the white loaf and the pie, and let all sports with Christmas die."
Despite this the custom is largely forgot. This is surprising considering how widespread the observance was. Raven (1977) records it in Staffordshire:
"in the mid-nineteenth century, the Christmas decorations used at Stone Mill were taken to the cowsheds and fed to the cattle to prevent them 'casting' their calves."
Palmer (1976) noted that this was the tradition too in Warwickshire, as was it in Worcestershire:
"It is unlucky to keep Christmas holly about the house after Candlemas Day, as the Evil One will then come himself and pull it down."
The custom would indeed appear to be commonly encountered in the west far more than in the North. In Burne's () Shropshire, she was told by a servant that holly and ivy was taken down on Candlemas Eve so as to put snow-drops in their place. In 1864 it is also recorded in Suffolk:
"If every scrap of Christmas decoration is not removed from the church before Candlemas-day there will be a death within a year in the family occupying the pew where a leaf or berry is left."
This latter belief still associates with our modern date. Udal (1922) in his Dorsetshire folklore records too:
"Candlemas Day or Eve – was the great occasion in Dorsetshire, as in other counties, when all Christmas decorations, such as holy, mistletoe, and evergreens, should be taken down…but care should be taken not to throw away as ordinary rubbish, but should entirely destroyed in the fire. If otherwise, it portends death or misfortune to some one of the household before another year is out."
Yet despite this Hardy's poem Burning the Holly still favours Twelfth Night but its date of 1898 agrees with Roud (2004) that opinion was changing by the turn of the 20th century. However even in the United States, in Williamsburg, a 18th century poem records:
"When New Year's Day is past and gone;
Christmas is with some people done;
But further some will it extend,
And at Twelfth Day their Christmas end.
Some people stretch it further yet,
At Candlemas they finish it.
The gentry carry it further still
And finish it just when they will;
They drink good wine and eat good cheer
And keep their Christmas all the year."
It makes good sense as Candlemas was the Feast of the Purification, the last feast which signified the baby Jesus's acceptance at the Temple. Being no longer a baby in a Manger but a baptised child. Furthermore as this was a lean time of the year agriculturally it would have little impact. It may also be significant to note that Candlemas Eve was and is Imbolc, the old Pagan celebration and perhaps taking down before may have been a way of distancing from the pagan past.
Why the change of date?
Is it possible that the authorities wanting to discourage the festivities which associated with the date, especially the Lord of Misrule, established this date as the one when Christmas officially finished and everyone went back to work, especially as in the 1800s communities moved from largely agricultural to industrial.
Burn the lot!
The majority of correspondent's state that these decorations should then be burnt and if not bad luck would befall anyone who did not. Roud (2004) notes that there is no geographical spread of the custom and that there was more likely to be disagreement due to changing attitudes over time. He refers to records burning the decorations recorded as far back as the eleventh century but the earliest anti-burning being from 1866. I'm quite sure the family would want me to burn the decorations though, especially the large 'plastic' tree. Burning would bring more than bad luck….but a deadly cocktail of chemicals
Well perhaps it's not quite a demised custom, I inadvertently have done so and so I gather do some churches, mainly Catholic, although I have not heard of any from Britain.

On Monday, Steve Ballmer - Microsoft's chief executive - spoke in Tokyo about what the company has for people (both users and investors) to look forward to. In the speech, for which the transcript is (for now, still) available on Microsoft's website, he looked forward to new forms of interaction with systems ("Today on a PC, it's file open, blah, blah, blah, respond, reply, forward. I can't just say to my device, 'get me ready for my trip to Tokyo'"), and then noted how quickly the ARM architecture had shifted into the mainstream ("Just think back three or four years ago and how quickly performance and size, and miniaturization and the move to ARM processors has happened").
And then he looked forward a little bit:
We're obviously hard at work on the next version of Windows. Windows 7 PCs will sell over 350 million units this year. We've done a lot in Windows 7 to improve customer satisfaction. We have a brand new user interface. We've added touch, and ink, and speech. And yet, as we look forward to the next generation of Windows systems, which will come out next year, there's a whole lot more coming. As we progress through the year, you ought to expect to hear a lot about Windows 8. Windows 8 slates, tablets, PCs, a variety of different form factors.
Wow! So that's Windows 8, announced by the chief executive as coming out next year - just what all the rumour sites have been saying for an age, and what Microsoft and Ballmer themselves hinted at during CES in January.
Except... on Wednesday, in a move that fits the literal description of "extraordinary", Microsoft's PR put out a statement saying that the chief executive made a "misstatement".
As the LA Times reports, an email from a Microsoft spokeswoman said:
It appears there was a misstatement. We are eagerly awaiting the next generation of Windows 7 hardware that will be available in the coming fiscal year. To date, we have yet to formally announce any timing or naming for the next version of Windows.
To which the blogosphere's reaction was: what?? Is it really possible that Microsoft's PR would slap down its chief executive?
Well, if you take it on face value, yes. But that's not what this is about. Instead, it's all about what spin doctors call "deniability". In other words: have some way to say that a leak isn't true.
What matters at the moment to Microsoft is driving adoption of Windows 7. The figures show that the ten-year-old Windows XP is still widely used, even despite the comparatively quick takeup of Windows 7 (which is certainly faster than with Vista, as we've shown).
But if corporate buyers know that Windows 8 is just around the corner, they will hold off on purchasing systems, because they'll want to see what the requirements of Windows 8 are, and how they should be planning their future upgrades.
And right now the last thing that Microsoft wants is for people to hold off buying PCs. It's business buyers who are keeping the PC market anything like afloat; as Microsoft's Bill Koefoed, its general manager for investor relations, said discussing its last quarterly results:
Now let me turn to the PC market. There are 3 trends we are observing. First, business PC growth was 9% this quarter. The business PC refresh cycle continues and is still in the early stages. Second, emerging markets continues to play a larger role in total PC shipment volume and now represent nearly half of all worldwide PC shipments.
Finally, the consumer PC market declined 8% as there are several dynamics at work, including a 40% decline in netbooks, broader consumer macroeconomics, increased competition for consumer spending and the strength of Windows 7 consumer PCs in the prior year. In total, we estimate the PC market declined 1% to 3% in the third quarter.
If Ballmer's words in Tokyo make even a few businesses put off buying PCs because they're interested to see what Windows 8 is like, things could turn ugly. (A reminder: Windows licensing generates slightly more than half of Microsoft's profits.) Depressing business sales is not what chief executives are meant to do.
(It's with "misstatements" like this in mind that the owner of one US hedge fund, Daivd Einhorn, called for Ballmer's head, saying the company had "floundered" under his 11-year leadership. So far though there's no sign of a shareholder or board revolt.)
So what's with the PR slapping down the chief executive? It's simple: it's a billboard so that Microsoft's sales teams can point to it and say, with a straight face, "Next version? No, we haven't announced any timing or naming for the next version of Windows. Look, it says so here. Anyway, about this Windows 7 upgrade contract..."
But the message you should take away? Windows 8 (or whatever it will be called) is coming next year. Steve Ballmer's the chief executive. And he knows what's going on.

Does Laser Hair Removal Hurt? Laser 101
By SDK-admin | Dec 2,2019
Does Laser Hair Removal Hurt?
Being a Laser hair removal spa in Strongsville Ohio we come across people who are new laser hair removal customers and we come across older more seasoned hair laser hair removal clients. The one question that is common between these two clients is the question does laser hair removal hurt or does your laser hair removal machine work?
How Bad Does Laser Hair Removal Hurt
Laser hair removal hurts as much as about a pinch every 10 secs. Many laser customer experience is different and depending on the treatment areas. There are definitely a lot of treatment areas that are in sensitive areas like the Brazilian area, the chest, and armpits.
All laser machines are not created equal: Some laser machines are older and don't have the new technologies that create the same lasting results without so much discomfort. Other Laser spas have come up with their own special techniques for coping with the pain during a session.
Overall you should experience a little discomfort when you are receiving these laser treatments so don't be alarmed if it starts to hurt a little.
If it hurts too much and the pain is unbearable then something is wrong with the spas lasers or they are using too high of a setting on your skin. The level of discomfort that is typical with laser hair removal is somewhere in the middle of the discomfort scale.
why does laser hair removal hurt?
Removing hair hurts it truly does. When we look back at the history of hair removal and see waxing sugaring shaving and tweezing, we see that hair removal is discomforting.
Never has it been so pain-free. Laser hair removal is the least painful form of hair removal besides the standard method of shaving. However, Laser hair removal is less dangerous then shaving and cuts and abrasions don't ever occur with lasers.
Lasers have been the only proven way to remove hair once and for all. Once hair is completely removed it doesn't grow back. If you truly want that hair gone there is only one way that is scientifically proven to remove hair completely and that's with lasers.
Ways To Make Laser Hair Removal not hurt
There are many ways to combat the minimal discomfort of laser hair removal. The first way is to start with a small treatment area so that you can tell how the rest of the treatments are going to go.
If you have a minimal pain tolerance then you will probably should get laser removal on sensitive areas like the Brazilian before bumping up your pain tolerance a little with more sensitive areas.
Another way to combat laser hair removal pain is to freeze a popsicle stick full of ice and rub it on the treatment areas while doing the laser treatment.
Experienced technicians can perform this type of treatments and in my experience, the pain was definitely less painful than without the ice cube.
All in all laser hair removal is a fairly pain-free experience, however, if you want to completely be pain-free ask your spa to see if they have any special treatment options that will make the process more comfortable for you.

It's always a danger when you work for an IT startup. Some make it, and (hopefully) the big bucks start falling in your lap. And sometimes, you fail, you run out of money or are beaten to the marketplace, or whatever.
We just failed.
The project is great, the team is awesome, and what we created is something that I will always remember with pride. I worked with some incredibly talented people who put in two years of very dedicated work. The market is absolutely perfect for us right now. But we've run out of money, and all our developers will start going on to other projects…we have to, we all have mortgages. I feel as though my heart has been broken.
Such a sad day.

When You see labor of love dieing, its like losing something much more important that project.
Now, when it happened, its over, time to get ready to new challenge. Good luck!
I was walking outside tonight, feeling the night wind, and for some reason it reminded me of how my first world died. The world I threw everything I had into, the world I still mourn for …
So I understand how you feel, and I'm sorry.
Crap, sorry Rav. Feel better.
Thanks, all, very much. I'm still in the "shock and denial" phase. The code will live on, since the project is still worth an awful lot of money to someone. But members of the team are falling away, one by one.
Ah, well…time to move on.

About Me
The Portrait Chronicles
I have a vision of beauty in my mind's eye. I am compelled to translate that vision into an image. Sometimes that process is as painful as the sensation of expelling a splinter from the flesh of my thumb but the result brings me a moment of satisfaction. Then the impulse comes again to create a new image that is more like my vision and I'm on to the next attempt.
Beauty is a set of characteristics possessed by a person, place, object, or idea that evokes a sensory experience of pleasure, meaning, or satisfaction to the perceiver. The experience resonates with personal meaning. An object of beauty can be observed, chronicled and recorded as such, but cannot be engaged with or possessed. Once an attempt is made, the relationship is altered.
I am a chronicler of likenesses, a portrait artist. Photography is the medium that best suits my needs. My work is based on an evolving set of principles and practices. There is no financial component to my work. I don't accept payment or pay for shooting a subject, nor do I sell my work. The final purpose of my work is to be seen and my goals are to publish books, create a website, and stage an exhibition.
A successful portrait is a compelling convergence of subject, camera, and light. At the moment of conception, each image exists independently of me and the subject. As with any creation, it takes on a life of its own.
My choice of a subject is intuitive. Each person possesses unique face, physicality, and character energy. These three characteristics are the basis of creating a compelling image.
The camera provides the flexibility to study the infinite possibilities presented by the relationship between subject and light. We need one other to create an image. The camera and I are one. I am the camera.
Light is the basis of visual perception. It inspires the camera to capture the unique individuality of each subject. Subtle gradations between light and no-light delineate physicality elements which define character energy.
The images pose a question to the viewer. Do they possess the potential to inspire one to see beyond the obvious, the conventional, and the ordinary?
"If the subject and I are both famous a hundred years from now because of the portrait we created, then I shall consider myself to be a great success."

Bullish or bearish, technical indicators have some serious, deep-rooted flaws.
Recently, some technical indicators have flashed bullish signals. One in particular seems to have grabbed attention—the golden cross, viewed by technical analysis fans as a positive sign. But not all are on board, warning the supposedly bullish sign may not depict the future well this time.
The kerfuffle over how golden the golden cross is or isn't strikes us as bizarre. When technical indicators trip bearish, it's generally pretty darn difficult to find a skeptical analysis (again, among those predisposed to technical analysis) noting the sign isn't necessarily indicative of what lies ahead. But today, a bullish indicator is just flatly dismissed. So we wonder: Are only bearish signals, like the often-seen-yet-rarely-accurate Hindenburg Omen or Death Cross, to be believed? Are signals with less ominous-sounding names somehow less reliable? Or is it just the interpreter looking at the same information, then applying how he or she feels at that moment? (An attempt to rationalize gut feelings.)
The reality is technical indicators aren't reliable predictive tools. Consider: The bullish-when-some-seemingly-want-it-to-be golden cross is merely a chart pattern in which stocks' 50-day moving average breaks above the 200-day moving average. Some strategists speculate this signifies a trend change—implying positive future movement. But before nodding along, consider it's all a reference to the past, often indicating stocks have already moved higher.
And that seems at work here. In the recent sightings, folks are seemingly noticing the S&P's 200-day moving average is flat to down, while the 50-day moving average is up. In other words, there was a correction in the summer and a rally in Q4 2011. We're betting if you're reading this, you already knew that—making the flip-flopping of moving averages seem less important harbinger and more old news.
Here's a point many investors have struggled to grasp since the ticker tape's advent: The print you just saw has little to no bearing on what follows. That's difficult for many to accept, seemingly because humans are conditioned to find and follow patterns. For example, if our stone-age ancestors successfully found, hunted and killed three tasty prehistoric prey in one location, chances are they'd return. While this logic may yield success in a hunter-gatherer society, it has little application to non-serially correlated markets, where price movements can (and frequently do) shift on a dime. The decision to purchase a stock should be about the future, not one rooted in the past—a fundamental problem most technical analysis tools have at their core. The thought one graphical depiction of the past can capture all the myriad inputs into determining future market direction is romantic, but fantastical.
But that's not all! Another confusing aspect of many technical indicators is their seemingly arbitrary construction. For example, here are some questions regarding the golden cross: Why was the 200-day moving average selected? Why not 211? Or 196? (Because it's a round number isn't a great, fact-driven answer.) And why the average and not the median? Most of these indicators seem a perfectly random selection of timeframe, construction and depiction. Then they're left to user interpretation. And all this, again, is a reflection of the past—which (stop us if you've read this before) isn't indicative of future price movement.
So sure, we wouldn't recommend building a 2012 forecast based on the golden cross. But we'd suggest the issue here isn't limited to the golden cross, and it isn't unique this time, applying equally to death crosses, Hindenburg Omens, Ichimoku Clouds, Doji Candlesticks and everything in between, at virtually any time.

NaNoWriMo: Slooooow
I've been struggling to get back into writing, as it has been such a very long time since I've written anything. I've gone a month or so without doing a blog post, for gods' sake. As of today, I'm under my target wordcount, but my words-per-day to finish on time is still under 2k/day, so that is entirely doable. So far, it's been a bit painful and each target has been met after many agonised hours spent sitting at my desk, staring at Scrivener and asking why this all wasn't more fun.
What I don't want to do is hit that 50k and trigger that "Yaay, I've won!" feeling, because it is very hard to continue past that point. I'm trying to think of this as a habit that I am setting which will continue month in and month out.
I am glad that I've arranged a small hiatus from cover work, because if I had any pressure, much less the inhuman schedule that I had last year, I would have used it as an excuse to punk out. I know I would have.
That said, this afternoon I did some personal artwork, and it felt fantastic. Here is "Crow Girl" – click for info about stock credit.

Hey, Ravven.
I've been struggling too. In addition to some of the distractions I've already mentioned on the blog, we suddenly moved at the end of October and we're still trying to get the house in order for living and Thanksgiving. Writing is interrupted often as we go on a bug-hunt through boxes for curtains, wood-glue, power-strips, shampoo and other important items that randomly got packed away in the rush to get out (Short-Sale).
I don't believe the blame for my reluctance to sit and hammer out the words can be laid completely at the altar of distraction though. One of my major problems is that I'm not entirely sold on my story line and as a result I don't have a clear vision of my plot. Another is that there are situations I'm trying to create in it, like a believable romance and a worthy mystery, that I've never tried before and it's proving difficult. I too feel a bit apprehensive that hitting 50k (unlikely as it is at this point), or even simply making it through to the end of the month writing everyday, won't result in a desire to continue so much as it will a sense of relief that it's over…which is not conducive to creativity.
On the other hand, if I can revive some sort of daily writing discipline out of the endeavor, I won't feel the whole effort has been a bust.
I sometimes wonder if I don't need to join the local writing group. They submit portions of their manuscripts for critique and get together at a group meeting once a month to talk about 'em. While that might inspire me to keep a more regular discipline–so I have something to submit–I'm not sure I'm keen on another fledgling writer, telling me about flaws in my rough drafts that I already know are there by virtue of it being a rough draft. I dunno. Maybe I'm looking at it the wrong way. There might be some folk in the group who have the advice I need for constructing mysteries and convincing romances.
Anyway, I feel your pain, girl. I wish I had proven advice. I do know that, for me anyway, it's still more uncomfortable not to write than it is to squeeze out my measly 1k- a day. I guess I'm just gonna keep fighting for now and see what the tide brings in. It would be nice to once again feel an eagerness to hit the key-board rather than dread.
I'm down to looking at it as an exercise in discipline. I had a story that I was really excited about, although it may have been a bit overly complex for me at this point in my writing education. But still, I was in love with the whole idea…and once I started to write it the words just piled up like small dead things on the page.
I'm still hoping that it will all catch fire…but that may have to wait for the second pass. :)
I've always thought that November was a terrible time to try to write a novel…Thanksgiving, Christmas preparations, etc. And I can't even imagine doing it after a move – you are a very brave man.

According to a Fortune report, billionaire investor Carl Icahn has bought another 2.8 million shares of Apple during the first quarter of 2014, upping his stake in Apple to almost $4.5 billion. He now owns 7.5 million shares, which is just under 1% of Apple's 861 million shares. It is possible that Icahn took the decision to invest more after Apple's introduction of a $90 billion share buyback and a 7 for 1 stock split announced last month.
"In the end, Icahn got nearly everything he asked for. In April, Apple announced that it had accelerated its stock buyback program. The company now expects that by the end of 2015 it will have returned $130 billion to shareholders — not the full $150 billion buyback Icahn wanted, but in the ballpark."
It is currently estimated that the $3.7 billion he's invested in Apple since last summer has grown by roughly $700 million, which means a 19% return in the seven months period.
Icahn, who had been pressuring Apple to increase value for shareholders in a number of open letters, meetings with CEO Tim Cook, and media interviews since first announcing his purchase of Apple stock last year, said he was "extremely pleased" with Apple's recent announcements.

What TREASURE's Junkyu Wants, He Gets—Even If No One Understands His Desires
TREASURE celebrated the Lunar New Year in Episode 33 of TREASURE MAP with a game called "Blue Marble." They were separated into three teams: those who lived in Seoul, those who lived in the countryside, and those who lived in Japan.
They rolled the large-sized dice and moved that many spaces on the board. When Team Seoul landed on Thailand, they were faced with a tough challenge: wear acupressure slippers without socks, spin around ten times, and walk in a straight line to the table to grab the elephant doll.
Since the slippers are equally known for being painful to wear as they are for healing, many members cringed at hearing what they had to do.
My feet are too weak for this.
— Hyunsuk
Lucky for them, Doyoung was ready to face the challenge head on! In fact, it was easy as pie for him. His teammates shared how he wears them around the house often and "he can't feel any pain."
I'm good at this…I enjoy it!
— Doyoung
While this was happening, Junkyu from Team Countryside looked at Doyoung with awe—just because he wanted the slippers for himself!
Wow, I want those slippers! I'm jealous. They look refreshing.
— Junkyu
The younger member easily completed the game and won his team a few diamonds.
Meanwhile, Junkyu was the real winner of the day. The TREASURE MAP editors revealed that he actually took the slippers from the set and made them his own!
TMI: this guy took the slippers home.
— TREASURE Map Editors

Walgreens, Rite Aid revise store purchase deal to $4.38B
Walgreens and Rite Aid have finally devised a combination of the nation's largest and third-largest drugstore chains that will get past antitrust regulators.
The companies said Tuesday that they have Federal Trade Commission clearance for a slimmer version of a store-purchase agreement announced in June. Walgreens will now spend $4.38 billion on 1,932 stores, three distribution centers and inventory.
The drugstore chains had said earlier this summer that Walgreens planned to spend about $5.18 billion on 2,186 stores.
That deal marked a step down from Walgreens' initial plan to take over Camp Hill, Pennsylvania-based Rite Aid Corp. for $9.4 billion. That deal spent a couple of years in regulatory review before the companies abandoned it.
Deerfield, Illinois-based Walgreens Boots Alliance Inc. says the latest deal should be completed by spring.

text: Testimonials Liz Kriston, an author, a presenter, a teacher, and a speech therapist; her skills and knowledge can be defined through the strategies she uses to present information to her audiences. When reading to children, she gives vivid examples to engage young minds through vocabulary which are reinforced with pictures, predictable texts engaging story lines. For her adult audiences she gives strategies on how to use details, to invite friendly questions and encourage critical thinking. These wonderful story lines and silly rhymes are part of her clever engagement of both her adult and child audiences. ~Joyce Black Cambria County Early Intervention Coordinator "I have known Liz for about 8 years now. We met when she came to my house for speech therapy lessons for my 2 year old twins who both have autism. She showed patience, kindness and knowledge. She helped navigate this family along the path of raising children with autism. Since the boys home therapy ended, Liz and I have stayed in contact. She remained a person I contacted with questions and has since become a friend. I purchased the books she wrote for my boys. As a reading specialist in an elementary school, I kept her skills in mind. I recommended her to the librarian as a guest speaker for the entire elementary school. She was very well received. Most recently, she brought her skills and knowledge to my school as a presenter for parents, teaching about literacy skills that parents could use at home. It was also a success. Liz has been a wonderful resource, both in my personal and professional career." ~Karalyn S Arotin We were thrilled to host Liz at Highland Community Library for a story time program. She was able to model reading behaviors that our parents were able to apply. Our toddlers were captivated both by the story and by Liz's storytelling. Her program was a perfect match for our early literacy focus. ~Ashley Flynn, Librarian In your class titled: Children's Books as Therapy Tools in Early Literacy, your audience felt your course content was relevant and complete. They commented that you did an exemplary job of presenting in an engaging and enthusiastic manner. Your attendees also had these specific comments to share with you about this course: This class contained all of the content advertised and was presented as well as I had expected! We thank you again for your participation, we wish you the very best for your future speaking engagements and we hope to see you at a future OSLHA Convention! ~ Chelsea Bailey Association Manager Ohio Speech-Language-Hearing Association Becoming an Author presentation feedback Presented to fourth grade students in May 2016 "Very interesting! The kids seem to really enjoy it! Some kids even started to write after the assembly!" ~Anonymous, Fourth Grade Teacher "I thought the presentation was very informative and paced just right for fourth graders. I enjoyed learning about your personal story and motivation in becoming an author." ~Rae Welling, Fourth grade Teacher Liz has come to read to my class several times over the last few years. Her visits are always greatly anticipated! After her first visit several teachers asked if she could also do a visit with their classes. She is so good with the children and talks to them on their level!! She has motivated my students to become better readers and writers! The children are so excited to meet a real author, especially one that has written books that we have read and are classroom favorites! ~ Deborah Loevlie, 2nd Grde Teacher

The Illinois wrongful death lawsuit brought by the family of a 15-year-old in Southern Illinois has resulted in a $10 million ruling in Saline County Circuit Court. The teen was killed in an automobile accident after the car he was in was struck by a farm truck. The defendants admitted negligence; the truck failed to stop at an intersection, striking the victim's car and ejecting him and another passenger from the vehicle. The injuries sustained by the teen resulted in his death. Such a high award is uncommon in Southern Illinois, but in this case the court found that the survivors of the teen had incurred a significant loss of society and that the wrongful death warranted the compensation of $10 million.

Following on from our earlier report which brought you the disappointing news about iOS 4.2 being delayed, we now have specific details regarding the reason for the delay, as well as a related video to show you.
As we told you before, iOS 4.2 has been delayed due to a suspected problem with the WiFi connection feature on the iPad, and we've found an article over at MacStories which has a lot more details on this.
According to them, the iPad has a problem where it will keep disconnecting from a local WiFi network after a few minutes of successfully connecting to it. This is obviously a pretty big deal, and explains why Apple are holding back from releasing iOS 4.2 to the public until it is sorted out for good.
We told you that the update is now thought to be coming on Tuesday 16th November – we'll let you know if that changes over the weekend. In the meantime, check out the video below which shows the WiFi problem at first hand.
