Last week was Old World night and it was pretty much a flip of the coin… AQ40 or Black Wing Lair (BWL). Thanks to Prelimar, we knew it wasn't going to be a cake walk, so really it just came down to which we thought we could do before 1am when one of our Tanks had to log. We chose BWL because one of our crew had done it the hard way, uphill both ways in the snow back at level 60… so someone knew which corner to turn and when.
There were only 7 of us as Zupa was otherwise disposed, so off we trotted to the zone.
Of course 1/2 of us had no idea where we were going… memory is a fragile thing, especially after so long, but soon enough we had found the orb, clicked on it and all 5 of us where in BWL…
Mmmm, hang on, there are meant to be 7 of us…
Damn, 2 people are attuned, we will have to run UBRS…
Hey, where did all those Mobs come from… who pulled the room….
WTF Mr. Tree!?!
Clearing the unending trash just wont work! It isn't trash in the traditional sense, and even with your feathers of uberness be struggling to solo it… Ohh dead… hope this isn't setting the tone for the night
UBRS the slow way….
OK, so we need a quick run through UBRS.. go go go… no leave the trash… OK take out the trash… but do it on your own…
Everything was going fine until we got to Gyth & Rend Blackhand, then it was time for comedy of errors…
Error 1: You can't skip the event, don't jump the other way… Ohh you are behind a closed grate… great!
Comedy 1: Take Gyth down slowly until Rend Blackhand dismounts then finish it off… all good in theory.. it's slow at 60 and at 70 you can get a couple of shots off before Rend dismounts… At 80, we had 1 shot both of them before they were in the room… Event failed due to uberness.
Error 2: Wait for the mobs to come out of the grates… don't run behind it… nevermind…
Comedy 2: Tank kites Gyth… no DPS at all… still scared that tank may accidentally fail event due to doing too much damage.. Ohh there's Rend, ohh Rend's dead… all done.
Comedy 3: General Drakkisath.. remember when he was hard, there was all sort of planning, strategy etc… I wish I had the time to get more than 3 spells off… and that was only because most people were asleep I think.
Back to BWL
Razorgore the Untamed
What. A. Blast!
Seriously awesome fun.. I was doing AoE coverage for the Mr Z! while he mind controlled Razorgore. I was burning mana like there was no tomorrow, but seriously, that is one awesome fight. if you have never done it before you want to grabs a 1/2 dozen of your mates and give it a go.
Just remember your objective is to MC Razorgore and protect the chaneller while you use Razorgore to kill the eggs.
This would have been an insane fight at 60 with 40 people stretched to the limit.
He did drop me 1st piece of the Netherwind set… Happy Mage. But MP5???
Vaelastrasz the Corrupt
This was a fun fight… it's already pretty clear that Dragons are the order of the day.. nothing special to report on this one, but it's fun to see a big one like this drop before you've had the chance to wind up any sort of rotation.
I haven't mentioned much loot yet.. there was lots of loot, but of course it is all relative… 3 pieces of loot between 40 people would make people sad these days…
That said, there would have been one happy Hunter with this drop… Oh well, time to flex the DE finger…
Broodlord Lashlayer
Lashlayer was no challenge, but then not much was, except that someone kept pulling extra trash mobs… No it wasn't me, sure I didn't want an easy run, but I was being a good little Gnome on Friday.
Well that was a mistake
We clove through the trash like butter… it was fun, but slow going.. if only there was a way to speed the process up…
Mmmm maybe pulling entire rooms (unexpectedly) wasn't the way to speed things up.
Maybe that was a mistake… even TomTom (I think it's TomTom giving the commentary near my portrait) thinks so…
Mr. Tree… you will need to settle down or be disowned by your friends… not sure why the other 5 are so uptight tonight though…
Firemaw was fun.. lots of fun… because people died.. yeah I know that's sad…
For the last 50% it appeared that there was only a healer and I alive, turned out there was a tank in there somewhere too, but it was a buzz thinking we were actually going to wipe, then pulling the rabbit out of the hat.
Ebonroc & Flamegor
Don't remember anything special about Ebonroc or Flamegor… another dragon… another dead dragon… or two
Chromaggus on the other hand was fun.
We wiped once, but it wasn't Chromaggus per se that did the deed… although it was his debuffs that caused my mates to turn on the raid.
The thing that struck me about this fight, was that you needed to use an exploit (the funny pillar) to avoid the damage. Mr Offspec told me in no uncertain terms that it wasn't an exploit to drag the dog 1/2 way through the instance to a specific spot on a ramp where most of the raid could hide from it's effects… in fact, it was working as intended… Blizzard designed the encounter this way.
WTF!?! So here's an "exploit" built by Blizzard as the only way of defeating the encounter… but hey, don't use things that may or may not be an exploit in the game… seriously, there needs to be a pop-up…
This exploit is working as intended
Yes, yes, I know all loot is hunter loot…. but how much Hunter loot is going to drop? Seriously!
Ohh what's that… mmm this naughty Gnome is going to roll need on those Nemesis Spaulders.. just to DE them, then tell all my Warlock readers about it….
Dear Warlocks. I rolled need on a lock set piece, purely so I could disenchant it!
BWL (Black Wing Love)
Apart from the over abundance of Dragons, BWL is a beautiful place. The view from Nefarian's balcony is stunning, taking in 2 zones.
As we were approaching Nefarius (for the 2nd time from memory), Zupa came online. I just had to tell him what an amazing place this was. The encounters in here are fantastic, lots of crazy variables to take into account. Sure it was a breeze as an 80, but every one of the encounters was interesting.. probably would have been more interesting if the bosses lasted longer, but I still had a great time.
Foolsss…Kill the one in the dress!
Lord Victor Nefarius
So we had reached Lord Victor Nefarius without any major problems.
Once again the dynamics of this fight are great and we were challenged… 3 times we were challenged, before we threw out hands up and admitted defeat.
Don't get me wrong, I am sure we could have taken him down, we just got unlucky.
We have decided to take the luck out of the experience next time by crafting a few of the cloaks that are specifically designed for this fight (and one other from memory). Of course for that I needed the Cindercloth Cloak pattern, which I promptly went and ground out before heading back to town.
So we will be back to BWL, probably next month, equipped with crappy cloaks that will get a single use.. but it will be worth it.
Gnomeaggedon's BWL Review
My BWL experience 10/10
We lost a couple of people then. It was an early night due to other commitments… but my night wasn't over yet…
There are naughtier Gnomes out there than me!
Popped into Ironforge for a quick repair, restock and bag drop, and what do I see…
A very naughty Gnome…
Two things struck me…
- It's a female Gnome letting it all hang out… you think there are a bunch of teenage Gnome lovers out there that are more likely to buy from her? (It's OK Kriz.. I know you aren't a teenager, but it's still ok to admit your liking for Gnomette cleavage).
- She looks like she's a Rogue… now tell me, would you trust a Rogue with your RL money?
Killing time and Achievements, one fish at a time
We had lost all of our tanks, so while I waited till an interested tank rolled up, I got in a spot of fishing…
1,000 fish caught since Achievements came into being…
I seriously need to get a life…
One serve of Ahune to take away please
Our Tankadin came back online, so I was going to get a crack at that Scorchling, "one" more time.
Zupa even came and joined us…
Zupa even got an upgrade… you wouldn't believe what it was…
Yep, one of those 3g Vendor Cloaks… well at least someone found a use for them!
Unfortunately there were no Scorchlings about… another year goes by without a sighting by Gnomeaggedon.
Consolation Prize
I did pickup something to turn Krizzlybear's heart to Ice.
It was kind of by accident… you see as our resident Disenchanting Enchanter, I just roll Greed on everything in 5 mans. It's just what I have been doing for ages… it's what my mates want me to do… So I do.
Unfortunately for Mr. Offspec, he threw up a message in /party chat asking only people that WANTED it roll for it. Why he didn't SPEAK up sooner I will never know… what's the point of being on Vent if you can't get urgent messages out.
Anyway, end result was I won the roll… he was very disappointed
I however, had a consolation prize…
Now I just need to find some bag space.
Gnomer and Out!

What the 25 Man Roster Should Look Like
Today the Yankees beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 4-2 in Tampa, leaving only three more Grapefruit League games left on the schedule before they start playing for real on Thursday. The highlight of the afternoon was a towering, two-run homer off the bat of Alex Rodriguez that flew over the batter's eye in centerfield, his sixth round-tripper of the spring.
A few decisions and moves were made recently, most notably the trade of Sergio Mitre, the signing of Kevin Millwood, and the naming of the fourth and fifth starting pitchers.
Yesterday Mitre was dealt to the Milwaukee Brewers for outfielder Chris Dickerson. In this afternoon's win over the Bucs, Dickerson made his Yankee debut and put on quite a hitting show. The 28 year-old pounded out three hits (including a double) in three at-bats while knocking in a run.
Unfortunately Dickerson was forced to leave the game with an apparent hamstring injury after notching his third hit. As of this point, the Yankee medical staff can only diagnose his injury as "spasms and cramping."
Tough luck for the kid to go down – especially following such an impressive debut. What's more, it hurts the Yankees, being that Curtis Granderson is not yet confirmed to be playing on Opening Day in light of his oblique injury. Yesterday Granderson did some running and agility drills, as he hopes to avoid beginning the 2011 season on the disabled list.
Millwood, 36, was signed just yesterday. He owned the worst record in baseball last year, going 4-16 for the Baltimore Orioles with a 5.10 ERA. However, he has been a dominant pitcher in the past, leading the league with the lowest ERA in 2005 (2.86), making the All-Star team in 1999, and finishing third in the N.L. Cy Young voting in 1999 as a member of the Atlanta Braves.
Even though he has proven himself in the past, he hasn't proven anything yet. He will probably have to go through extended Spring Training and wouldn't make the team unless he flourishes, another pitcher struggles, or another pitcher gets hurt.
Along with the trade and the signing, it was announced that Ivan Nova will be the Yankees' number four starter this year, and Freddy Garcia will pitch every fifth day. Bartolo Colon, who many people feel had a better spring than Garcia, will pitch out of the bullpen.
Garcia owned a 5.93 ERA in four spring outings, throwing 13 2/3 innings. Colon held down a 2.40 ERA in 15 innings, giving most people the impression Colon should have won the number five job.
Yankee Manager Joe Girardi maintained that Garcia, 35, was the favorite to win the spot because Colon, 37, hasn't pitched in a Major League game since 2009. Girardi added that, for his standards, Garcia had a good spring.
Now that we are only six days away from Opening Day, here is how Girardi should build his roster. Only 25 players can be at Yankee Stadium on Thursday and these men (I feel) have earned the honor of making the trek from Tampa to the Bronx.
Position Players
1) Derek Jeter – SS
2) Alex Rodriguez – 3B
3) Robinson Cano – 2B
4) Mark Teixeira – 1B
5) Jorge Posada – DH
6) Russell Martin – C
7) Brett Gardner – LF
8) Nick Swisher – RF
9) Curtis Granderson* -CF (*if he does not start the season on the DL)
10) Andruw Jones – Fourth Outfielder
11) Eric Chavez – Backup IF/Utility
12) Eduardo Nunez – Backup IF/Utility
13) Jesus Montero – Backup Catcher
14) CC Sabathia – No. 1 Starter
15) A.J. Burnett -No. 2 Starter
16) Phil Hughes – No. 3 Starter
17) Ivan Nova – No. 4 Starter
18) Freddy Garcia – No. 5 Starter
19) Bartolo Colon – Long Relief
20) Mark Prior – Middle/Long Relief (he is interchangeable; can be used for both)
21) Joba Chamberlain – Middle Relief
22) David Robertson – Middle Relief
23) Rafael Soriano – Setup Man
24) Boone Logan* (*Pedro Feliciano will most likely start the season on the DL) – Lefty specialist(s)
25) Mariano Rivera – Closer
Most of these players will be in the Bronx next week and all of them deserve to be. Girardi will probably make a few modifications to my Opening Day roster, but expect to see most of these names called during the pregame ceremony on Thursday.
Mark Prior deserves to be on the roster because of how well he pitched this spring (eight games, 7 2/3 innings pitched, three hits, three runs, one earned run, 1.17 ERA, 11 Ks, and five walks).
He earned the chance to prove himself and could provide the Yanks with some solid middle and/or long relief. I'm not sure if Girardi will send Prior to the Bronx, but if they don't call him up, at least at some point in the season, they are making a mistake.
If Granderson does start the season on the DL, obviously a spot will be open and it'll be a toss up. I would expect someone like Justin Maxwell (.206 in Spring Training, but he only had 34 at-bats, three RBIs, and four runs scored) or even Dickerson (if he is healthy, given his injury today) to backup Jones in centerfield. That spot would only be open until Granderson returns, anyway.
Another position in question is the backup catcher role. I feel it is time for Montero to at least gain some experience on the Major League level. Today it was reported that Gustavo Molina could back up Martin at catcher, until Francisco Cervelli returns from his foot injury.
If you ask me though, Montero needs a taste of the big leagues – even if he doesn't spend the entire season in the show.
Whichever way it goes, in a matter of days, anticipate Girardi giving the official word on who is going to the Bronx and who will be heading to the minors.

A new electrode material could help make lightweight, powerful rechargeable sodium batteries to replace lithium-ion batteries used in electronics and some electric vehicles. The material contains widely available iron, instead of the nickel and cobalt commonly used in these electrodes, and enables a similar energy density to electrodes in lithium batteries.
Sodium is an attractive candidate to replace lithium in batteries because it's cheaper and widely available around the world. But building a sodium battery requires redesigning battery technology to accommodate the chemical reactivity and larger size of sodium atoms.
A rechargeable battery, whether lithium or sodium, contains two electrodes, the anode and the cathode. When a battery with an anode made from sodium metal discharges, electrons flow from that electrode to the other. The anode sloughs off positively charged sodium ions, which travel over to the cathode and wiggle inside the material to balance the extra negative charges coming in through the circuit.
When the battery is charged, this process is reversed: electrons flow out of the cathode, releasing the sodium ions inside. These ions float over to the other electrode, gain an electron, and replace the atoms lost during discharging.
The energy density of a battery depends on the amount of charged ions that the electrode can hold as well as the amount of energy released by each electron. The greater the energy density, the smaller a powerful battery can be.
Lithium batteries pack more of an electrical punch than sodium batteries because lithium atoms naturally release more energy when losing an electron than sodium does. So, for sodium batteries to reach energy densities similar to lithium ones, the positive electrode in the sodium battery has to hold more ions. And ideally, the ion-sized spaces in the electrode do not change size during the electron exchange, so that sodium ions can easily squeeze in and out as the battery charges and discharges.
To make this new electrode material, Shinichi Komaba, of Tokyo University of Science and his colleagues ground together iron oxide, sodium oxide, and manganese oxide. They squished the powder into a pellet and heated it to 900°C for 12 hours. This created a material with the formula Na2/3[Fe1/2Mn1/2]O2.
Then the researchers made a battery using this new material as the positive electrode and sodium metal as the negative electrode. The capacity of the new material, which reflects how much charge one gram of electrode material can store, was 190 milliAmp-hours/gram, with an average voltage of 2.75 V. The capacity decreases over 30 charging cycles, meaning that the battery held less energy each time it was recharged.
The energy density of this material was estimated to be about 520 mWhr/g, similar to the energy density of LiFePO4 and about 80 mWhr/g higher than LiMn2O4 cathodes. Using carbon or titanium dioxide for negative electrode, instead of sodium, might allow the researchers to build a rechargeable battery that puts out three volts of power (the amount in two AA batteries).
Another recently published material using layered vanadium pentoxide as the positive electrode in a rechargeable sodium battery has a higher capacity and energy density than this material. It also maintains its capacity for 200 charging cycles.
The new material is unique because it contains cheap iron, says chemist Christopher Johnson, of Argonne National Laboratory in Illinois, who helped develop the vanadium-containing material. Since sodium battery technology is still new, it's encouraging to see materials with energy densities similar to current lithium batteries, he says. "Who knows where we'll be in 10 years?"
But using a cheaper material for the positive electrode does not necessarily reduce the overall cost of a battery, says Jay Whitacre, of Carnegie Mellon University. Dropping the total cost requires considering the other components, like electrolyte and anode, in the battery too. And a battery made with this new material does not use anything different than a standard lithium-ion battery, he says.

While the economy "is significantly stronger and continues to improve" since the 2008 financial crisis, the Fed plans to continue its asset purchase program known as quantitative easing as "the benefits exceed the costs," but the program "cannot continue forever," Janet Yellen, vice chairwoman of the Federal Reserve Board, said Thursday during her confirmation hearing before the Senate Banking Committee.
Yellen, who's widely expected to replace current Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke, said that the private sector has created 7.8 million jobs since the postcrisis low for employment in 2010. Housing, she said, "which was at the center of the crisis, seems to have turned a corner—with construction, home prices and sales up significantly." The auto industry, too, "has made an impressive comeback, with domestic production and sales back to near their precrisis levels."
While the nation's economy has "made good progress," Yellen said, "we have farther to go to regain the ground lost in the crisis and the recession." Unemployment, which is down from a peak of 10% and was 7.3% in October, "is still too high, reflecting a labor market and economy performing far short of their potential."
Unemployment remains high, Yellen said, with 36% of those who are unemployed having been out of a job for more than six months.
At the same time, Yellen said, inflation has been running below the Federal Reserve's goal of 2% "and is expected to continue to do so for some time."
When asked during her testimony if there were dangers in tapering asset purchases too early, Yellen said that there were "dangers" in ending the program too early as well as in "continuing it too long."
Said Yellen: "It's important not to remove support when the economy is fragile."
The Federal Reserve, she said, is using its "monetary policy tools to promote a more robust recovery. A strong recovery will ultimately enable the Fed to reduce its monetary accommodation and reliance on unconventional policy tools such as asset purchases. I believe that supporting the recovery today is the surest path to returning to a more normal approach to monetary policy."
Michael Hanson, senior U.S. economist for Bank of America Merrill Lynch, noted in his Thursday Economic Watch report that Yellen's aforementioned comment on reducing "monetary accommodation" typically has meant rate hikes in official Fed communication, while reducing "reliance on unconventional tools" likely refers to the eventual reduction in the size of the Fed's balance sheet rather than tapering.
Said Hanson: "Recall, most Fed officials take a 'stock approach' to QE; in that view it's the total amount of assets owned and not the purchase pace that defines the degree of accommodation."
Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., asked Yellen if she would ensure the Fed would focus on its supervisory and regulatory responsibilities just as much as it does on its monetary policy.
Yellen responded that the Fed needs to take its supervisory and regulatory duties "just as seriously and devote just as much time" to them as its monetary policy.
In her prepared testimony, Yellen said she's "committed to using the Fed's supervisory and regulatory role to reduce the threat of another financial crisis. I believe that capital and liquidity rules and strong supervision are important tools for addressing the problem of financial institutions that are regarded as 'too big to fail.'"
Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., asked Yellen what the Fed could do to stem the decline in middle-class incomes, which he said was a "very serious" problem. Middle-class incomes declined 10% between 2001 and today, Schumer said.
Yellen agreed that it was a "very serious problem," but noted that it was not a new one. The problem "goes back to the '80s when there was a huge rise in income inequality with middle-income [workers] losing disproportionately," Yellen said.
She said lots of research and debating has been done on the causes for the decline, with contributors being globalization, technological changes and the decline of unions. However, she said, "the Fed can't change all of those trends; the solutions involve a multitude of things like job training and education." The most effective measure the Fed can take, she added, is to "try to create robust recovery."

2007 Indian Wells Merlot
While still a bit young, this has an initial aroma of boysenberry jam. There's a touch of toast there as well, but once the wine breathes and softens, you get elements of green pepper, earth, and it becomes light and mellow. I've always wanted to see how this wine ages, but I've never been able to hold on to one long enough to find out.
The Pacific Northwest is putting out some spectacular wines these days, and the region is justifiably becoming trendy and popular in certain corners. A big producer like Ste. Michelle seems at odds with the small, independent reputation that is associated with the area, but I've always been a fan of their still and sparkling wines.

they're a big producer, but they definitely bring more value in the price range than a lot of California wines.
Set the table for small producers to succeed as well...

I certainly agree, and they're also widely distributed enough that you can recommend one to a friend or relative in another state and there's a pretty good chance it will be available.
I haven't seen the sort of hostility towards Ste. Michelle that you see directed at Gallo, for instance (and they are much different companies), but once in a while I encounter these rumblings that are reminiscent of the early Seattle grunge bands vs. a big record label.

As red-blooded Americans, we turn our nose up at any food product that's not wrapped in bacon. It's a crime against everything this country stands for and it's probably somewhere in the Constitution that items not wrapped in bacon must be dragged out into the town square and stoned. That's why you sometimes see photos in U.S History books of people throwing rocks at fried turkey legs...because of the lack of bacon.
But let us digress from this ridiculous, totally made-up American history lesson to tell you about Little Caesars' new pizza monstrosity. As you can probably tell by the photo, this is a pizza that's wrapped in bacon. That clenching you feel in your chest is probably your heart crying out in either pain or joy, depending on your eating habits.

How to tether Huawei IDEOS X3 phone to laptop? (Solved)
Can someone point me to a post to tether the Huawei IDEOS X3
to a laptop, running wireless from the phone....like a router.
Searched and searched....can't see it.
Tried various options....over 2 hours yesterday.
And I am using TPG.
Gives me 1.5 gig data as well as calls >> $15
Just saw this as well. I'll have to check.
" 1.31 How do I setup Tethering in my mobile phone?
Tethering can only be used in mobile phone with tethering capabilities. Please refer to your handset device's manual or website if you are unsure on how to enable tethering on your phone.
You can also contact our Mobile Technical Support team on
02 9007 2000 (option 3) if you require further assistance. "

I use an Ideos U8150 for this function (pretty sure the X3 is an upgrade from the 8150). I simply go to Wireless and networks, then "Wireless tethering" and tick the box. (Obviously I had to enter the tethering config first time I did it - which only involved setting up a netwrok name and password).
Is there a specific part of the tethering that is not working? Any error message? It should really be so simple that a tutorial is not needed)
Once the tethering is ticked, use Puppy (particularly Frisbee) to view wireless networks and connect with the previously entered password and away you go.
Sorry I don't have the phone in front of me or I could be more specific about the wording of the menus. (Can get it out of the car if needed...)
Have you set up a data pack with the 3g network operator? There are various options available, and you may also have to call their helpdesk to check some of the settings in the phone to ensure that it passes the correct parameters to the provider. They should guide you through the phone setup, and you just have to do as they ask.
Also, some phones have to be "rooted" first (instructions on the internet..) but that should not be necessary with the X3 I don't think.
If connection failures occur the 3g operator usually asks you to take the battery out of the phone to do a "hard reset". They don't explain why, but it works anyway.
I find that I can boot my netbook on Saluki, connect to the internet via my Ideos, check my email, and shutdown, all within 2 minutes and 10 seconds. Great during the day when I am stuck in my car and need to stay in touch with work.
Sorry if this is a bit fragmented - I am a bit tired. But post back if this doesn't help.

Hi Chris
Since your phone uses android 2.3.x it should have tethering enabled.
This should allow you to setup and activate tethering on your phone.
Then using puppy or other OS to find the wifi hot spot using SNS, Frisbee or similar, should work just like using your home wifi.
Tried to attach some stuff that should be useful, but no go, will try again later.
Just seen greengeek's reply.
anyway HTH - very best regards - Ray

This has been killing me to fix.
However, as I have found out...it's pretty simple.
Tethering the Huawei Ideos phone to my laptop,
makes it a a wireless router Wi-Fi hotspot.
It uses much more battery power...so be warned.
Overuse of your mobile data attracts a big price penalty.
Beware of your usage.
How to tether Ideos X3 Phone
From your phone screen
>> click on Menu >> then go to Settings.
>> Click on Wireless & Network.
>> Click Tethering & Portable hotspot...at the bottom of this menu.
>> Click on 'Portable Wi-Fi hotspot.
the tethering on your phone is now enabled.
>> Now click on Portable Wi-Fi hotspot settings
>> Name your network >> AndroidAP
The guide below uses a different name, as it is a different model.
However >>
is my default APN
Access Point Name on this phone.
>> Add the security level
>> Select WPA2 PSK
>> and provide a password....
The more number/letters the better.
Most of this came from this guide....many thanks to the author.
The easiest advice that I came across.
When you boot a recent Puppy....install Frisbee.
Frisbee is either enabled automatically or is an option >> Pet
in Network or Internet >> in the Puppy menu.
Sometimes it is in the Connect menu on the screen.
Run Frisbee
and it will detect the >> AndroidAP
>> as a wifi hotspot.
Type in your password....
wait 30 - 45 seconds, for Frisbee to connect,
and you are good to go.
Windows 7 sees it as well.
Vista and XP need Network Magic >> 4 hidden networks.
I have uploaded Network Magic here.
Old version…still good. Good 4 Vista....and XP.
Let's you use the simple features after 7 days.
Do not update it.
Do not use for Win 7....they fixed their crappy wireless security.
A further guide for some networks.
May be useful but the Android Advices guide, as above
was hassle free.
Enjoy ............Chris.

This name shouldn't be dependent on the model - you can change it to whatever makes it meaningful for you (eg: Chris_Android_AccessPoint)
If you leave it at the default it might be confusing as you might end up with some sort of conflict - especially in a busy commercial area. There are large numbers of Android phones out there now and it wont be long before everybody will be connecting to the internet this way - it is just so convenient!
Hope your wife doesn't mind you wirelessly piggybacking on her data plan while her phone is sitting quietly in her handbag
Also - you can cut down the battery wastage by turning off gps and also making sure that the wireless internet is turned off - most people think that wireless internet has to be on to enable tethering - but it doesn't. Wireless internet simply means that the Android phone keeps hunting for your home router - even while you are out and about on the street.

Yes...I agree. But I just wanted to test and post,
if only so I can remember how to set it up.
" If you leave it at the default it might be confusing "
Same reply.
" Hope your wife doesn't mind you wirelessly piggybacking "
Both of us have TPG.
Free youtube ...etc.
" wireless internet is turned off "
Always connected to our home router, sons' router etc.
She has a power app.
My son does Android.
Just upgraded to 4 because Telstra haven't updated it.

Seems really odd for the carriers to prevent wireless tethering. Surely the user is already paying for the traffic that thay are transmitting through the carriers network, so whats the problem if that traffic is data (from a tethered laptop) rather than voice or data from the Android browser??
Could it be that data coming from the Android browser allows them to spy or to push advertising??? Where data coming from an external device is more protected maybe??

OTTAWA (Reuters) - Indian companies are lagging behind when it comes to investing in Canada's giant oil sands but could well start making deals within the next five years, Canadian Energy Minister Joe Oliver says.
Oliver, speaking to Reuters before a visit to Delhi and Mumbai, said Canadian energy industry needs C$650 billion ($663 billion) in investment over the next decade. Ottawa concedes much of it will have to come from abroad.
To some political consternation in Canada, China is rapidly buying up assets in the tar sands of northern Alberta, one of the world's biggest crude oil deposits. But India - the world's fourth largest oil importer - has yet to conclude a deal.
"I think they realize ... they are certainly behind others, and they acknowledge that," Oliver said.
"They are looking to Canada now with increasing interest. I can't predict what precisely they'll do, but I'd certainly be surprised that if in five years from now the picture didn't look quite a bit different."
Last month sources said a trio of state-run Indian oil companies had bid $5 billion for stakes in Canadian oil sands holdings owned by ConocoPhillips (COP.N).
The bid from the group, which comprises producers Oil and Natural Gas Corp (ONGC.NS) and Oil India Ltd (OILI.NS) with refiner and retailer Indian Oil Corp (IOC.NS), is the first by Indian energy companies for assets in Canada.
Canada is now deciding whether to approve a $15.1 billion bid by Chinese state-owned CNOOC Ltd (0883.HK) for oil producer Nexen Inc NXY.TO, which is active in the oil sands.
Some in Canada's governing Conservative Party are uneasy about allowing a Chinese state-owned enterprise to buy such assets.
Indian state companies are partly owned by an elected government in what is the world's most populous democracy, and this could help reduce Canadian hesitation about future deals.
Oliver said he would try to boost Canadian energy exports to India. The government, keen to reduce its export reliance on the United States, is already trying to boost oil sales to China.
Canada exported C$1.4 billion ($1.43 billion) worth of natural resources to India last year - including just C$4.1 million in energy products - and Oliver said he sees great potential for more trade.
"There is tremendous complimentarity between our two countries. We have these vast resources - oil, gas, minerals, metals and forestry - and India is growing ... there are immense opportunities," he said.
Oliver - noting that Saudi Arabia and Iran together supply 29 percent of India's oil - said major importers of crude generally want to diversify their sources of supply to include what he called reliable and stable countries.
But any talk of boosting Canadian oil exports to India will depend in part on how soon new pipelines are built from the Alberta oil sands to ports on the Pacific Coast.
Opposition to one of the proposed pipelines, Enbridge Inc's (ENB.TO) Northern Gateway project, is steadily growing and there are doubts as to whether it will ever be built.

Also scheduled for Wednesday morning, January 23, Hunt Highway traffic from Johnson Ranch Blvd/Gantzel Road will ALL be shifted to the west side of Hunt Highway for continuing work on the east side of Hunt Highway.
As part of the work on the east side of Hunt Highway, crews will need to construct box culverts under the driveway/roadway first at the entry to Shops at Copper Basin and later at Copper Mine Road and Quartzite. Scheduled for Wednesday morning, January 23, the Hunt Highway driveway access to Shops at Copper Basin will be CLOSED and Copper Mine Road should be used to access the businesses. This work is expected to take 4-5 weeks to complete.
As a reminder, speeds have been reduced through the work zone (25 mph) for the safety of nearby residents, travelers, and construction crews. Please obey traffic signage as it is placed for your safety.
Work is currently taking place in the south end of the project, from Johnson Ranch Boulevard/Gantzel Road through Magma Road on Hunt Highway to construct improvements. Current work includes utility work, storm drain installation and box culvert construction on the west side of Hunt Highway, with Hunt remaining open for travel, one lane in each direction, with traffic shifted away from the work zone.
The contractor has split this phase of work into two segments; the first from Johnson Ranch Blvd/Gantzel Road to Quartzite Road, and the second from Quartzite Road through Magma Road. The base course (bottom layer) of asphalt has been placed for the segment from Johnson Ranch/Gantzel to Quartzite Road and traffic is currently on the west side of Hunt Highway in this area. The final course (top layer) of asphalt will be placed from Magma Road to the end of the project, including Magma road and the intersection with Hunt Highway. Please be cautious of the "bumps" between bottom and top layers of asphalt. The final course (top layer) of asphalt from Johnson Ranch/Gantzel to Magma Road will be placed upon project completion, after the next phase.
Business and resident access is being maintained, and we thank you for your continued patience during this construction.
By accepting you will be accessing a service provided by a third-party external to https://santanvalley.com/

Differences between CPython and Jython
CPython and Jython are two different implementations of the Python language. While a Language Reference exists for the Python language, there are a number of features of the language that are incompletely specified. The following lists all known differences between the two implementations of the Python language. These differences range from the trivial -- Jython prints "1.0E20" where CPython prints "1e+020" -- to the dramatic -- everything in Jython is an instance of a class. At some point more effort should be made to separate the interesting differences from the mundane.
Any other differences not listed here can probably be considered a bug in Jython. Understand of course that CPython and Jython advance at different paces. All efforts are made to keep the two implementations in sync, but that's not always possible.
This list has been updated to describe the differences between Jython-2.0 and CPython 2.0

Availability and access to water resources have a strong bearing on patterns of economic growth and social development in the eastern and southern Africa region. It has become increasingly important that water resource development takes place in the context of integrated water resource management (IWRM) with its main principles of equity (regarding access), efficiency (economic) and sustainability (environment).
The goal of the programme is to implement sustainable water and wetland management and mainstream ecosystems approach into IWRM processes in order to support poverty reduction, equitable development, resilience to climate change and conservation of biological diversity. This is through developing and demonstrating practical approaches to the implementation of IWRM. The programme also influences policy and builds the capacity across sectors and levels of governance to manage water resources.
Poor management of water and wetlands resources not only destroys the environment we depend on but also hinders economic development, leading to a loss of livelihoods. Investments in natural infrastructure such as river basins and wetlands, water institutions and good water resource management are the vital foundations of sustainable economic development and social wellbeing for the Eastern and Southern Africa region. Water and wetlands underpin conservation of biodiversity and most of the economic activities from food production—the mainstay of many economies and critical to people's livelihoods in the region—to manufacturing, energy production and transport. IUCN's Water and Wetlands strategy for the region focuses on key strategic areas including ecosystem based management and biodiversity conservation, good governance and stakeholder participation, water resources and climate change adaptation, and learning and knowledge sharing.

Okay, I lied. I said I would post up Dembskis plea to 'quantum mechanics', but Im going to have to hunt through the tapes to find it.
So Im afraid youll have to make do with a 20 year old (are you 21 yet Logan??) getting Dembski to admit that humans were specially created. I think Logan got him to answer 'Yes or No?', but for some reason the recording stopped (it was at 2 hours at this point).
Logan-- My question is, recognizing that you said 'Evolution does explain some of it, it just has limits', do you yourself believe that we evolved... from apes, and fish, and amphibians, and so on?
Dembski-- My own view, is that I take a very pretty limited view of evolutionary change... The Design Metaphor, I take it seriously... it seems to me that reDesign... eh...
... Is a very difficult problem. It doesnt work very well. Particularly with something like a house for instance... instead of redesigning something else, its better to start from scratch...
Now how much of Design was there?
... Im...
... there... how much evolution has taken place... Weve got people who believe in Special Creation, youve got Michael Behe who says we have a universal common ancestor. Im somewhere in the middle. And I... uhhh... for theological reasons I would say humans are special created... but its uh... its...
... uhhh...
Its not where... in terms of... (rambles on, cant understand him over coughing in crowd, something about how 'creation' isnt where all the *action* is in ID-- its all in calculating probabilities????)
- Logan isnt a bio major, give him a break on the 'evolved from amphibians' ;)
- That part is slightly muffled, but I swear to god, Dembski says it is easier to design a house from scratch than to take old plans and redesign them. Not only does The Omnipotent Dembski know more about biology than biologists, and cosmology than cosmologists, and computer science than computer scientists, he knows more about architecture than architects. The Issac Newton of Architecture Theory, if you will. I have to admit, hes right. I mean, you never see anyone take an old house and remodel it. Or add rooms to a house. Or turn porches into sunrooms. And no two houses look the same. Its hard to tell houses are even houses, theyre all so different. Sorry guys, Point 1 to Dembski.
- Those pauses were real, and long. That exchange took just over 2 minutes. Read it out loud to yourself. If we're generous, half of that exchange was dead silence. Sit in silence for one minute. Thats how hard Dembski had to think to answer a straight forward, elementary school science question.
- Behe is Discovery Institutes 'black friend.' The DI 'Fellows' believe in Special Creation like True Christians. Sure they travel about the countryside, giving presentations to churches on how Darwin caused the Holocaust and abortion blah blah blah cause humans are 'just another animal'... but theyve got nothing against common descent!!! Look, theyve even got a LUCA friend!! Michael Behe, the token friend.

Hi all!
In that tutorial I'll explain about abstract classes, abstract methods and interfaces.
Plus, the differences between an interface and an abstract class.
Ok! lets start!
Abstract class
An abstract class is a class that is declared abstract.
It cannot be instantiated, so if you'll try running the following code you'll get an error messege:
public abstract class AbstractClass { public AbstractClass(){//the constructor } public static void main(String args[]){ AbstractClass abstractClassInstance = new AbstractClass(); //Error! } }
However, an abstract class can be subclassed.
public abstract class AbstractClass { } public class SubClass extends AbstractClass{ }
After defining an abstract class, lets check why would you want to declare your class as an abstract class?
you would want to declare your class as an abstract class when your class describes an abstract idea
rather than a specific one.
Lets take an example from real life for an abstact class:
public abstract class Food{ }
Food! who doesnt like food! there are so much types of Food
but wait... what exactly is Food???? or, why did I declare Food abstract????
I'll answer that question with another question
Suppose i asked you "what did you eat for lunch?"
you may answer: "I ate pizza for lunch!" or maybe "I ate Pancake for lunch!"
but you will never answer, "I ate Food for lunch!"
why? because Food is an abstract definition for "Things we eat".
while Pizza, and Pancake are subclasses of food. in code it would look something like this:
public abstract class Food { } public class Pizza extends Food { } public class Pancake extends Food { }
You can declare instances of Pizza, and Pancake but not of food.
Ok. now, after we understood what an abstract class is, lets move to:
Abstract methods!
An abstract method is declared that way:
public abstract void abstractMethod();
Some important things concerned abstract methods:
1. Abstract method cannot be declared private!
2. Abstract methods don't have a body. these are empty methods.
so when declaring an abstract method, end the line with ";".
3.Only abstract classes can contain abstract methods!
(or interfaces, will be explained later).
Why would you want to use abstract method?
lets return to our food example.
to eat food, you have to prepare it.(cook\fry or so).
so how do you prepare Food?
there is no question for this question. why??
because each instance of food(pizza, Pancake, salad) is prepared in a different way!
public abstract class Food{ public food(){ } public abstract void prepare();//the abstract method } public class Pizza extends Food { public Pizza(){ } public void prepare(){ //cut tomatoes, have the dough, add cheese, insert the oven... } }//end of pizza subclass public class Pancake extends Food{ public pancake(){ } public void prepare(){ //add all ingredients on the pan, add sauce, onions, fry it... } }//end of Pancake class
In that example you see how you use an abstract method.
abstract method should be used when you want to do the same operation, but in different ways.
After defining abstract methods and abstract classes we are ready for
the next topic.
What is an interface?
Think of an interface as a contract that a class does.
in order to implement an interface a class must implement the interfaces methods.
An interface contains constants and abstract methods.(only abstract methods!).
it looks like:
public interface newInterface{//newInterface can be replaced by every name you want. int CONST1;//can be every data type. (long,char etc...). String CONST2; //more constants.. void Method1(); int Method2();//can return all sort of data (long,char, boolean etc). //more methods... }
This is how an interface should be look like.
1.notice that I don't declare the constant variables as public\private\protected.
in an interface they all get: public static.
2.notice that i dont declare the methods with public\private and also not abstract.
in an interface all methods get by default: "public abstract".
3.There is another type of interface. Marker Interfaces. marker interfaces are markers without methods. like the serializable interface.
It looks like that:
public interface serializable { }
later on my tutorial you'll understand why will you need an empty interface????
Lets proceed, and have an example for using interfaces from the Java API.
The List interface.
A List is an interface.
ArrayList and LinkedList are classes implementin the List interface.
suppose in your code you nedd a List of String objects(could be any other data type though).
List<String> stringList = new ArrayList<String>();
Later on your code, you decide that you made a mistake, and a LinkedList is what you need.
So you just change the declaration to:
List<String> stringList = new LinkedList<String>();
When will you use an interface? why not use an abstract class?
first lets check the differences between an abstract class and an interface.
1.a certain class can extend only ONE superclass, while it can implement multiple interfaces.
2.an abstract class can contain implementation for some of its methods, while an interface only declares methods.
notice that if you declare an abstract class with only abstract methods, it should be declared as an interface!
3.an abstract class can contain all sort of variables(not only public static), and also can contain private, protected methods.
Now after understanding all basic definitions, we are ready for the main subject!
When will you use an interface rather than an abstract class?
Suppose you want to have Washable items.
who doesnt wash his stuff???
By stuff i mean your vehicle, your clothes etc.
Probably you have some kind of vehicle. right? a car? motorbike? a bicycle? rollerblades??
And i assume you wash them once a week..
And of course you have clothes you wear. (shirt, pants, jacket).
And i HOPE you wash them at least once a week!
so first declare a new class Washable:
NOTE: the following code is the wrong way to achieve our task. it is just to show why an abstract class is the wrong choice for what we want to do.
public abstract class Washable { public Washable(){ } public abstract void wash(){; }
now, washing a car is different than washing a bicycle, and is definately different than washing a rollerblades. right?
also, washing colored clothes is different than washing white clothes.
so, what will you do if you want to create a car class? public class car extends vehicle, extends Washable { //cant extend both! }
NOTE:the end of the wrong code i mentioned before.
What you want to do in such a case is declare Washable as an interface.
public interface Washable { void wash(); }
Now you can implement it with all these classes, and implement the wash method differently!
public abstract class Vehicle implements Washable{ public Vehicle(){ } public abstract void wash();//wash is abstract because it is not yet implemented! } public abstract class Clothes implements Washable{ public Clothes(){ } public abstract void wash();//wash is abstract because it is not yet implemented! } public class Car extends Vehicle { public Car(){ } public void wash(){ //the wash method for a car } } public class Bicycle extends vehicle { public Bicycle(){ } public void wash(){ //the wash method for a bicycle } } //now for clothes public Shirt extends Clothes { public Shirt(){ } public void wash(){ the wash method for shirt } } //and so on!
most important note:
When implementing an interface's method, you can't assign it different access privelege other than public.
The reason is that all methods in theare declared public. and in java you cant override a method by assign it a weaker access.
implementing the Washable interface in both Clothes and Vehicles has benefits!
Suppose you have a new Robot and you want it to wash all your stuff.
BY stuff i mean all your Clothes and all your Vehicles. (i want that robot too!)
you could have a list of Washable objects and use the wash method on all of them!
public class Robot { public Robot(){ } public void washAllMyStuff(){ List<Washable> objectsToWash = new ArrayList<Washable>(); //add your washable items to the list //then go over the list and invoke wash() for(Washable washableObject : objectsToWash){ washableObject.wash(); } }
Of course, you can create other abstract classes like Furniture and implement Washable on those classes.
then add them to the robot's washing list!
Have i already mention how Cool that Robot is?
ok that is the end of my tutorial, where i covered abstract classes, abstract methods and interfaces.
hope it helped

Lions kicker Jason Hanson retires after 21 seasons
- Hanson was a second-round pick in 1992
- Hanson has booted the most field goals of 50 yards are more with 52
- The Lions would not give Hanson the money he wanted to return for a 22nd season
The Detroit Lions will have a new kicker this fall for the first time since 1992.
Jason Hanson, the NFL's longest-tenured player, announced his retirement Thursday after 21 seasons.
A second-round pick in the 1992 draft and a Lions staple since, Hanson had originally told the Lions he wanted to play at least one more year, but the two sides were unable to come to a contract agreement and Hanson has said he does not want to play for another team.
The Lions made Hanson, 42, a take-it-or-leave-it offer earlier this month for around $1 million. Phil Dawson, 38 and coming off his first Pro Bowl, set the market for veteran kickers two weeks ago when he got a one-year free-agent deal from the San Francisco 49ers for $2.35 million.
Hanson holds NFL records for most 50-yard field goals (52) and games played with one team (327), and ranks third in league history in total field goals (495) and points (2,150).
He made 32 of 36 kicks last year, but three of his misses hit an upright, including the potential game-winner in a Thanksgiving loss to the Houston Texans.
Lions president Tom Lewand said at the NFL owners meetings last week there was no guarantee Hanson would be back given the constraints of the salary cap. The Lions began today with the 15th most cap space in the NFL, about $6.8 million.
"It's not a system that provides for a lot of allowance for sentimentality," Lewand said. "We have the utmost respect for Jason and want to have him back, but it's a situation where everything has to fit. The salary cap is a real restraint for all 32 clubs and we have to operate within that and within our plans. So we've had our discussions with Jason and like I said we have the utmost respect for him personally and professionally which is why we want to have him back."
Hanson is the second established veteran to retire from the Lions in the past month.
Jeff Backus announced his decision to step away from the game after 12 seasons two weeks ago, just days before he was due a $750,000 signing bonus.
Asked at the owners meetings if the Lions would have released Backus had he not retired, general manager Martin Mayhew said, "That's not even – we were talking to Jeff about what he wanted to do and we were engaged in discussion with him throughout the entire process, sort of what his plan was and that's what he decided to do."
Several other teams across the NFL have made well-publicized decisions to move on from franchise staples for football and financial reasons this off-season. The Chicago Bears announced they couldn't come to a contract agreement with linebacker Brian Urlacher after 13 seasons, and the Baltimore Ravens made a tepid attempt to keep safety Ed Reed after 11 years and a Super Bowl championship.
Urlacher is an unrestricted free agent who's garnered limited interest, while Reed signed with the Houston Texans.
Before Hanson's announcement, the Lions already were making plans for his replacement.
David Akers, released by the San Francisco 49ers earlier this month, visited the team on Tuesday and the Lions worked out kickers Justin Medlock and Havard Rugland before the start of free agency.
Akers, 38, is coming off a down year in which he missed 13 of 42 field-goal attempts, but he's a six-time Pro Bowler struggled through a hip injury most of the season.
When healthy at the beginning of last year, he tied an NFL record with a 63-yard field goal in a season-opening win over the Green Bay Packers.

Unskippable: Madworld
Pages PREV 1 2
Cam Clarke > Steve Blum
Good lord, is there anything Steve Blum ISN'T in? I swear he's more prolific than Nolan North.
Steven... Jay.. Blum...
So the guy took out the bridges. My question is why doesn't anyone own a boat? And not one ferry? No coast guard? In conclusion, what the heck is this game about?
When I saw "JJ" the first thought I had was Hellboy. Your one Ron Pearlman away from a Hellboy game. Funny video as ever.
I have NO idea what the hell that game is supposed to be about. The cutscene was not a helpful intro.
haha, i loved the count chocula bits, very funny.
damn ninja :(
Darkwing Duck reference. Now all you have to do is stick in a one-liner about 'Crime Fighting Time' and the circle of awesome Saturday morning cartoons will be complete.
Good vid. Sponsor XIII makes me think you'll be working your way through twelve more sponsors of increasing difficulty and quirkiness as the game goes on. But probably not.
As if anyone with hair that long could be president...
Contract porpoises AND evil porpoises? Oh god they're multiplying!
*Runs off screaming*
lol so there's a sequel for this game coming out for the 360 and PS3...whoo...
does make me wonder what they'll do with the art direction with HD processing tho
Yeah with that processing power they should be able to actually have all three primary colors
favourite part was the russian's serious accent
Surely the : "Impressive. Most impressive." was a reference to Star Wars? :P
And I find it kind of funny, I find it kind of sad...
well thank god i am a lefty.
Haha, Paul is so innocent that he does not even know how to urinate with a running chainsaw attached to your forearm. So adorable.
"I'll call you JJ , JJ Punching guy" ^^
Also , loved that "Being badass is expensive !" line XD
"Ew" and "piecefull" made my day. Thanks.
Damn you!
Hearing Stven Blum is always a treat. What makes it even funnier is that if you take a look at the guy, you'd swear whoever showed it to you was lying.
DARKWING DUCK REFERENCE, FTW! Seriously, I loved this. Steven Blum does so many voices!
You know, the whole chainsaw thing is probably the reason that guy has a mechanical right hand.
Just saying. If you're gonna go implanting hidden overclocked powertools into your limbs there will be occupational hazards.
This is the first time you did a game that I had all ready owned.
Also the movie is It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World. 4 Mads, not 6.
God Mad World sucks.
I remember before it came out folks were hyping it as the wii's "mature" game but it looks like shit. Making everything cel-shaded in black and white doesn't hide how poor the graphics are and this cutscene was so boring even Graham couldn't make it entertaining.
You know what games used comics for storytelling better? Max Payne and Max Payne 2. Better cel shading's in Borderlands. Really, the only reason anyone would try to defend this as a good game is b/c they're wiik.
Ooooh~ now I want an ice cream sundae.
"You can call me XIII as I represent Sponsor No. 13."
And seriously, where did that chainsaw come from? Did he just pull it out from his ass because I can see how that could be uncomfortable.
In the Age of Chaos, two pecks battle for dominance...
love the unskippable
By that same token, I can call you shallow, pretentious and a graphics whore. I own MadWorld myself and I can and have decided for myself that it's awesome and there's nothing wrong with the cutscenes.
And if that makes me "wiik" for liking this game for my own then you can kiss the broadest side of my ass you pretentious bitch.
They gave it realistic graphics instead. Look up "Anarchy Reigns" and see for yourself. It does horribly defeat the purpose of making the game look like a Manga as well as add emphasis to the gore and violence but whatever. Gameplay and over the top presentation seem to be intact.
I just wish people would shut the hell up about graphics when gameplay is the most important thing. That and most HD games look like shit anyways.

Initial public offerings of stock have finally started to show signs of thawing after last month's Facebook fiasco froze the U.S. IPO market, but bipartisan groups in Congress say the IPO process is in dire need of reform to protect retail investors from the sophisticated market's gyrations.
Four companies have announced terms and a fifth has revived a deal, Renaissance Capital reported Thursday, saying that such "icebreaker" IPOs have historically seen uniformly excellent returns. The first IPOs to price after a period of inactivity tend to be attractively priced growth companies, according to the Greenwich, Conn., global IPO investment advisor's research.
"From a mini-surgical camera maker to a fertilizer ingredient supplier, the companies were notably diverse, spanning eight different sectors and a wide range of deal sizes," Renaissance reported. "Growth rates were generally high though, and most were profitable and of reasonable scale. The forward P/E ratios ranged from 6x to 27x, but a majority offered about a 20% discount to their peer groups and most priced at less than 15x."
However, U.S. Rep. Darrell Issa, the California Republican who has made a name for himself by accusing Attorney General Eric Holder Jr. of obstructing an investigation into the Fast and Furious gun operation, has written a letter to Securities and Exchange Commission Chairwoman Mary Schapiro demanding a rules review of the IPO process.
"The Facebook IPO taught us that, at a minimum, the IPO process suffers substantial flaws," Issa wrote in his 15-page June 19 letter to Schapiro. "In fact, it appears the entire IPO regulatory framework, based on an outdated Securities Act of 1933, fails to provide a market-based solution to IPO pricing."
On the Democrats' side of the aisle, Sen. Jack Reed, the chairman of a Senate Banking securities subpanel, on Thursday held a hearing to examine whether the IPO process works for ordinary investors.
"The number of individuals participating in our capital markets has grown substantially, especially for investors trying to save for retirement," Reed said after calling the hearing to order. "A dysfunctional IPO market can harm our economy."
Also on Thursday, Renaissance's Analyst IPO Blog called for modernization of the IPO ecosystem.
"Thanks to the Facebook IPO fiasco, the parochial practices of the U.S. IPO market are now obvious to all. It's ironic that a leading technology company built on high-speed servers and open social interaction would allow its public debut to be damaged by the outdated mechanisms of our IPO market, including NASDAQ's trading snafus and selective information disclosure," the statement said in part.
The five companies that plan to start bidding will end the eighth-longest stretch between IPO pricings since 2000, excluding the seasonally slow mid-December to mid-January period, according to a Renaissance statement.
"After 31 days of post-Facebook silence, the US IPO market suddenly awoke this week," Renaissance said.

Strange Cases: The Lighthouse Mystery (iPad)
Published by
Developed by
Also For
DescriptionFBI agent Claire Ellery wakes up from a terrible nightmare where her partner Tom is murdered by a strange cult, only to pick up a phone call informing that he was found dead outside his apartment, from an apparent suicide. Arriving at the building, she discovers a series of cards with information left behind by the deceased. As she begins to follow the clues and further investigate the circumstances surrounding Tom's demise, more sinister details about a conspiracy involving a shadowy corporation start to surface, leading her to the most strange places to solve the case.
Like its predecessor, Strange Cases: The Lighthouse Mystery is a hidden object game with adventure elements, where the main objective is to collect a series of items and use them to solve all the puzzles found on locations related to the plot. The player assumes the role of the FBI agent, seeing the world from her perspective.
Most items are received after completing hidden object challenges, where all the objects listed on cards at the left side of the screen have to be found and clicked amongst the assorted paraphernalia cluttering the scene. The hint button is a mechanical eye at the top-left corner, showing the position of one of the required objects when activated, but taking some time to recharge after use.
There are three types of cards, each with a different list of objects: the blue card has a list of words, the green card shows a series of silhouettes and the green card displays pictures of segmented objects whose pieces are scattered around the scenery. An icon of a crossed-out eye above a card facing down indicates that some extra step, like opening a container, has to be performed to collect the card.
After completing a card, one of the collected objects is stored in a suitcase inventory at the bottom-left corner, that can be clicked to show its contents inside a series of slots. The items have to be dragged from the inventory and dropped on interactive portions of the location to perform an action or finish a pending task. Mini-games appear inside windows at the center of the screen, where pieces and mechanisms have to be manipulated to solve puzzles. They can be optionally skipped after a few minutes.

Our dyes are cost effective – with each 100ml tube delivering two applications for less than the price of most single colour processes – making them the ideal choice for the savvy salon owner or freelance hairdresser.

NXT permanent hair colours come in a comprehensive colour chart of 101 inter-mixable shades, giving you the freedom and versatility to cater for every client's tastes and demands.
Not only will you get 100% coverage of white hairs for all bases below 9.00, you'll also experience our anti colour fade technology that will give you the confidence to know that your salon-fresh colour will last until their next appointment.
- 100% white coverage

- Created with four plant botanicals for anti-fade results
- Paraben Free
- Up to 4 levels of lift for ultra-light blondes

- Effective and affordable.
Don't be misled by the 'budget' price tag, NXT Permanent Hair Colour offer outstanding quality at an intelligent price that reflects our commitment to professional hairdressers.
All our permanent dyes work by penetrating and oxidising the hair cortex with small colour molecules, which add pigment to the hair shaft. This chemical reaction transforms the appearance of the hair without causing damage or breakage.
To avoid allergies or skin irritation always carry out a patch test 48 hours before each application according to the manufacturers guidelines.

not for everyone
I have been using nxt for a couple of years now. Personally i am happy with this brand but i do find some of the colours i use don't leave the result they should on first attempt.
Harley Allsobrook
Great colours
Have used NXT for years now, it's cheaper than most yes but the colour quality I find it just as good, some of the reds not as good but on the most part very good tones :)
Toyosi Fowosere
No thank you
It's cheap and did not achieve the color I wanted on 3 attempts. Waste of money

In the early 1970s the Oakville Historical Society Women's Auxiliary began a project to generate interest in the museum's extraordinary costume collection. The project was called Decade Dolls and it recreated fashions of the past 150 years. The women used scraps of fabrics from historic garments and were able to recreate, with loving care, gowns and menswear from the early 1820s to the late 1960s. The dolls are made of paper mache on a wire and replica materials were used when historic fabric was not available.

On Wednesday 28 April, at 11am PT, I'm co-presenting with Ron Rogowski of Forrester Research on "The Value of Creating Intuitive User Experiences". This online webinar will focus on the approach to creating user-centric applications, and the business value that emerges from intuitive user-experiences.
During this presentation, I'll be talking about a project my team have been responsible for delivering over the last year, that is internally code-named "Hendrix". This has been a tremendous collaboration within Adobe, bringing together our TXI team of technologists and user-experience designers with our IT organization, leveraging our 3D methodology for blending user-centric design thinking with agile software engineering, and in turn, creating an application that allows our agents in our contact centers to more effectively service Adobe customers – to help more customers, first time in less time. Every time.
Project Hendrix is something I am very much looking forward to talking more and more about in the days, weeks and months ahead…the business problem we were tackling (which has resonated with a tremendous number of customers to whom I have shown Project Hendrix in Customer Briefings in San Jose), the 3D approach we took to really understanding user needs, and how meeting user needs could meet business goals, as well as getting deep and dirty with the technical details of how we delivered an Experience Oriented Architecture … a tremendously complex implementation of a beautifully simple user-experience that leverages Adobe technology throughout the technology stack to attenuate the complexity of underlying systems such as our SAP CRM system.
It's incredibly rewarding to have the project going live to our agents, and to be able to begin to talk about it with designers and developers, customer and community, and with the industry at large.

This is a painting class that does not require any artistic experience! Our enthusiastic instructors will guide you stroke-by-stroke and step-by-step to create a work of art you will be proud to put your name on! We will provide all necessary supplies, including reasonably priced beer and wine! We look forward to finding the creative person in each of you so, let's COLOR OUTSIDE THE LINES!
**Due to local laws and licenses, Art Cellar is prohibited to permit outside alcohol. So to make life less "winey" and to save you a trip to the store, we provide a great selection of varietals and local crafts for reasonable prices. Click HERE to view menu.
