IDC Methodology
ID.
Our market contact demonstrates that unlike most of our competitors, we conduct a significant
amount of primary demand–side research to bulwark our analysis. Our analyst tools make our
analysts' forecasts and analyses more systematic. And, our foundation research developed in
the areas of hardware, software, services and internet penetration acts as a reference for all
IDC analysts.
Any one IDC research area uses an interlocking web of tools and methodologies to support its
analysis of the future. They vary by area, but the principles are the same. They include
research, hypothesis, refinement, and documentation. It is our analysts and the research
methodologies they employ that set IDC takes pride in the amount of demand-side surveys we conduct to support our supply-side
research with vendors and the channel. IDC's Global Research Organization oversees a
network of over 40 demand-side research specialists in all major regions. Demand-side
survey techniques include traditional random-digit-dial phone surveys, web–based and email
surveys, cluster and factor analysis, lead user research, focus groups and mall intercepts,
interactive polling, personal interviews, conjoint studies, and diary studies. While we are not a
"survey house" per se, we do believe we set the standard for integrating demand-side
research into normal analytical processes..
In our core areas, we have developed five major pieces of foundation research that go to the
heart of much of our market analysis. These research tools are IDC's trackers (quarterly
views of shipments and market share), IDC's software market forecaster database (a
compilation of revenue estimates for over 1000 software companies worldwide), IDC's
services spending model (a classification and methodology for sizing services markets in
countries and regions), the IDC Worldwide Digital Marketplace Model and Forecast (a model
of global ad spending, Internet usage, commerce, and devices), and the IDC Worldwide Black
Book (a roll-up of IDC market and service forecasts across 58 geographic territories in 30
technology and service categories)..
Each IDC market database is fed by real-world data and benefits from our unique worldwide
data collection and surveying capabilities. Field data is then processed through a proprietary
operational model of the market segment. The components of a typical model include: market
segmentation, pricing and transaction model, distribution model, vendor business and revenue
model, forecast of market trends, linked and driving markets, demand-side spending, and
expanding/contracting applications of technology.
IDC endeavors to document the assumptions behind each of our forecasts. We have
developed an internal tool called the IDC Assumption Builder. Key to the IDC Assumption
Builder is the development of a mental model of the market being forecast, which includes
assumptions about the economy, supply, the labor force, etc. The IDC Assumption Builder
makes it easy for an analyst to document his or her assumptions in each sector of the mental
model, determine those that actually drive the forecast, and highlight the assumptions that
have the power to radically alter a forecast if expectations change.." | http://www.idcresearch.com/about/methodology.jsp?t=1339918312345 | 2013-05-18T10:40:37 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |

The original purpose of the census was apportionment -- the drawing of congressional districts so that each would contain roughly the same number of Americans. To do this, the census must count heads and get their addresses. This has not been a mystery since the advent of computers.
Computers are used in statistical sampling. Jordan Ellenberg, a professor of mathematics at UW-Madison, made an impassioned plea for using sampling in the census on May 1 in The Washington Post. It was titled: "The census will be wrong. We could fix it."
But in Department of Commerce v. United States House of Representatives (1999), the Supreme Court ruled against the use of sampling in the census. Justice O'Connor delivered the Court's opinion: "The District Court below examined the plain text and legislative history of the [Census] Act and concluded that the proposed use of statistical sampling to determine population for purposes of apportioning congressional seats among the States violates the Act. We agree."
To those with a hammer, everything looks like a nail. To those armed with higher math, perhaps everything looks like a hairy math problem: Why use arithmetic when we have calculus? The use of statistical sampling in the census might be appropriate, but only if it were impossible to get a count. But is there a method for getting a count?
The most reliable way to accurately count 300 million heads is by putting everyone into a key-sequenced file whose key is the social security number. The feds already do this. But the one datum that would make an accurate count possible (the SSN) is mysteriously absent from the Census Bureau's list of questions. So one might wonder if the Bureau is really serious about accuracy.
Every U.S. citizen is already on file with the feds -- they're listed on the database at the Social Security Administration. And the SSA database is continually getting updated with births, deaths and naturalizations. So, if one wants an exact count of the U.S. population, the way to get it is to write a computer program that reads through the SSA database and counts heads as it goes. There's no need for higher math, like statistics -- simple addition will do. The program would take about five minutes to write.
There's one little snag with this method: Although all citizens are on file with the feds, only some of them have their addresses on the SSA database. Apportionment requires that the feds know everyone's address.
But most Americans are also on other federal databases, like the IRS's. The IRS itself takes a partial census annually, and the 1040 forms taxpayers must file by April 15 must list address, that essential census datum. The IRS also keeps track of kids' addresses: Line 6 on Form 1040 requires the taxpayer to list his dependents, their social security numbers and whether they live with the taxpayer.
Also, taxpayers who remit quarterly payments are required to inform the feds each quarter if their address has changed. On the 1040-ES stub sent in with one's quarterly payment, one is directed to the instructions booklet in the event one's address has changed. In the first section of those instructions is this command: "If your address has changed, file Form 8822, Change of Address, to update your record."
So, not only is the taxpayer required to inform the feds of his address every year, he may be informing them every quarter, too. Upshot: The feds probably already know your address; otherwise they couldn't have snail-mailed you that form demanding that you send them your address.
Some folks, however, "fall through the cracks"; they live off the underground economy and don't file tax returns. The Census Bureau is not likely to ascertain their addresses. But it isn't right that the income taxpayer is required to continually keep the feds abreast of his whereabouts while others are not. And now the Tax Policy Center reports that 47 percent of households pay no individual income tax.
The solution is to make everyone a taxpayer -- that is, levy a head tax, or capitation.
If everyone were a taxpayer, there'd be no need for a census; each year everyone would report his address on his tax return. If levied against everyone, all 300 million Americans, a head tax set at $10 would raise $3 billion a year.
Now, some may object that that's just another $3 billion down the old rat hole. After all, Congress is running an estimated $1.555 trillion deficit this year. But the 2010 census will be an estimated $14 billion down that rat hole. "Projecting to 2020, we could be looking at a $30 billion Census," estimates Robert Goldenkoff of the Government Accounting Office.
Not only would the head tax deliver America from our current census system, it would create a national voter registry, eliminating the need to register to vote. (Those who fail to pay the head tax could still vote, however. So don't confuse the head tax with the poll tax, which was found unconstitutional decades ago.)
Requiring everyone to file a tax return would be a great exercise in citizenship and civics; everyone would have a stake in America. Ten bucks for the privilege of living in America is the bargain of all bargains. And a $10 head tax is nothing compared to the other taxes Congress has in store for America.
With modern technology, there shouldn't even be a Census Bureau. Anytime the feds want to know the size of the population, they can just run a program to read through the SSA database and count 'em up.
Yeah, man, but that's so simple.
Jon N. Hall is a programmer/analyst from Kansas City.
This solution is too logical, accurate and inexpensive to be acceptable to those who want to manipulate the census and the Constitution to their own political ends.
See Jon Hall's article on "Counting Foreigners in the U.S. Census" at
While illegal aliens are being counted and used in Congressional reapportionment, US citizens living or even temporarily abroad at census time are not. | http://www.ideasinactiontv.com/tcs_daily/2010/06/the-senseless-census-a-solution.html | 2013-05-18T10:31:39 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [

Directions
In large bowl, combine flour, sugar and salt.
Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse meal.
In small bowl, add yeast to warm milk; stir to dissolve completely, then stir into flour mixture.
Knead dough on lightly floured board until smooth and satiny, 6 to 8 minutes.
Place dough in lightly greased bowl; turn once to grease surface.
Cover; let rise in warm place (85°F) until doubled, 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
Meanwhile, in medium bowl, combine raisins, currants, peel, almonds, molasses and spices; set aside.
When dough has risen, cut off and reserve 1/3 of dough.
With the remaining dough: Roll a small piece of the dough on lightly floured board into a pencil-thin rope about 18 inches long; set aside.
Flatten remainder into a circle about V2 inch thick.
Spoon raisin-spice filling onto dough; fold dough over mixture and knead until filling is evenly distributed.
(Mixture will be sticky.) Set aside.
Roll reserved 1/3 of dough on lightly floured board to a circle about 14 inches in diameter.
Mound filling onto center of dough; pull edges up around filling to enclose, pinching to seal in center.
Invert bun onto greased baking sheet; gently flatten to about 2-inch thickness.
With skewer, pierce through bun to the bottom in a few places to allow steam to escape during baking.
Decorate top of bun with reserved rope of dough; brush entire surface with beaten egg.
Place a pan of boiling water on bottom rack in preheated 375°F oven.
Place bun on center rack and bake 60 to 75 minutes or until golden and skewer inserted in center comes out clean.
Remove from baking sheet.
Cool completely on wire rack before slicing. | http://www.ifood.tv/recipe/scotch_black_bun | 2013-05-18T10:21:30 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |
I coil my ribs and heart in the ropes of my arms. I find pockets for my hands to slink inside; I feel safer with them there. Our arms are this long, I was told yesterday, to cover and protect our genitals. Scott once mentioned to me how unfair it is that lady parts are inside the body, while men have their's on the outside. I wonder if this is God's way of forcing vulnerability in every man. (Sure titty twisters can cause blisters, but they do not induce vomiting, knock the wind out of her, nor surge estrogen through her blood and cause emotional breakdowns. At least, I don't think so.) Vulnerability never really became a flaw of the female as it has for men. Maybe God predicted that. However, regardless of whether our privates hang or hide, we are all shaped to cover our crotches with our hands. And though our baby toes are disappearing, instinctual reactions to fear——flight or fight——have remained by evolving into new defenses. Now no longer running from saber tooth tigers, most of our greatest fears fester in the realm of social interactions. Flight has become fidgeting shrugs; hiding hands in pockets and armpits and boisterous bouts of self-mockery.
I'm ready for my shrugs, which minimize my point of view by apologizing for myself and my ideas to settle into stillness. I want conviction. I want to straighten my spine. I want my eyes to stop swinging like search lights. I want my words to ride out of me like a prized show pony: poised and proud.
I am a vegan. One reason why I am a vegan is because I want to live a life of proactive environmental peace. I hate this commercial culture of corruption and cover ups. The meat, fish and dairy corporations of the world are leading two genocides: one; the torturing, slaughtering and selling of billions of defenseless animals and two; the massacre of our natural resources. Our oceans are nearly naked now of fish and coral. Our rainforests are being axed down for cattle grazing, causing extinctions of animals, birds, plants and therefore oxygen. I read all about this in the book, Comfortably Unaware. Our fresh water supply is not unlimited or "sustainable" as many Americans would like to believe. Just as the trees we cut to graze livestock would take hundreds of years to grow back, if we ever let them. We are killing our planet. Did you know that? I think if you knew that, you wouldn't purchase and eat the food that is causing global warming and——as Dr. Richard A. Oppenlander describes in his book——global depletion.
."
Nitrous oxide which soon will not be digested by our trees when the trees have been plowed for more cattle grazing.
."
We don't want to know that. We don't want to know where our food comes from. We have other things to worry about. But what is more important than food and our planet? We are living organisms. We need food to live. We die without food. Therefore, shouldn't we care, shouldn't food be our primary concern? It used to be more important (still is to many people in this country and certainly throughout the world where poverty, malnutrition and lack of fresh water are daily struggles). Yet we stuffy Americans don't want to worry about it. We have more "important" things to worry about like money, promotions, retirement, holiday parties, social media posts, whitening our teeth, shoe shopping and enthusiastically tending to our addictions of caffeine, prescription drugs and alcohol. But even above food, we living organisms need air, water and an earth to stand on. We are such selfish inhabitants. We take and take and take. We of the 1st-World countries are together an obese child. We scream for fat, salt, soda and candy, while our dehydrated baby sister thirsts for cool clean water and our Mother Earth lays on a metal table in the meat department. She gave us beauty, our Mother. She gave us dirt, vegetation, water, sunshine and rain. By giving us trees, she gave us air to breathe. She taught us by showing and giving. And what have we done? We've held a semi-automatic to her head, stripped her naked, raped her, whipped her with a chain saw belt, and then took a knife to the stomach where we once grew and made an incision up to her throat. We reached in with our dirty fat fingers, ripped out her small intestines and sold it for $3.95/pound. Her liver was plucked, stuffed and later passed as hors d'oeuvres for some stuffy business party where everyone is red-faced, pudgy and on several prescription drugs to tend to the signs of impending heart disease and diabetes. Her lungs were cut out, cleaned and mounted on the wall. Look how big and mighty I am, we think, I have the power of destruction. "Won't my mommy be so proud of me," we sing in a deep delusional tone. Her blood is mostly drained and dumped. Her bone marrow boiled into broth. Her muscles are marinated, grilled and named "good protein." Ooo——a barbecue! How fun! Let's sit around in creaky lawn chairs, drinking strong alcohol while we wobble across our Honduras Rosewood deck to the gas-powered grill where we slather sugary red sauce on the dead. Mmm the dead is so delicious. Look how big and mighty I am! Back in the butchery, Mother is still alive, but barely. She is ashamed of her screaming greedy baby and worried for her skeletal baby girl who is now too weak to beg her mother for rain. But most of all, Mother holds the heaviest sadness in the well of her slowly beating heart. She might die. She is almost certainly going to die. And when she dies so will we. When she sees us looking at her head, contemplating the price of her brains, she tells us the story of her life. She ends with a warning. If I die, so will you. We don't like to hear this! We scream that it isn't our fault! (Anger is our defense mechanism.) That we were only doing what we had to in order to survive. You had more than enough to survive, but you let egotism blind you and greed control you. You are lazy. You want everything to be easy, convenient, cheap, fast and accessible. You don't think about where it all comes from or where it all goes. You waste and waste and for what? So you can spend your time zoning out on the couch, listening to laugh tracks and reality trash? Leave me be for awhile. Let me grow green again. I want organic vegetable farms. I want the fish, the turtles, the shrimp and the lobsters to be left alone. I want time for rain to refill my rivers. But we don't hear this. We stopped listening a few minutes ago due to our defectively short attention span. Instead we've been staring at our mother's barely-beating bloomed red heart, wondering what we could sell it for. | http://www.ifoundapuddleandifellinit.blogspot.com/ | 2013-05-18T11:02:32 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |

Cheap ski holidays in hundreds of ski resorts worldwide.
Today's blog is bought to you by AJ, Iglu's Head of Sales and keenest après ski participant.
We’re pretty keen on après ski action here at Iglu. So much so that it is one of the main factors that decides where we ski each season. We’ve even rated the best chalets for access to après ski. Some have great locations just a few stumbling steps from the best bars and some offer their own in-house bars that everyone else has to come to.
So, let’s start with the best located chalet in everyone’s favourite French resort, Val d’Isére.
The 5* Chalet Cherrier is slap bang in the middle of the action. I’ve stayed here and counted that it was only 16 paces from the front door to the Petit Danois bar. This is one of our early evening favourite bars with two pool tables and consistently hot Danish and Swedish bar staff. The rooms in the Cherrier are big and don’t suffer from noise after 9 pm.
If your budget is more Carlsberg and KP nuts than Krug Champagne and Beluga caviar then you might want to be above one of the most iconic bars in Val d’Isére, by staying at the Chalet Hotel Morris. This chalet hotel couldn't be more convenient, but if you choose one of the rooms at the front with the sunny balconies, you will hear some noise. At least no one will complain if you're a little noisy yourself.
The most famous après ski resort of them all is St Anton and this next chalet is right amongst the fun.
You can ski directly to this chalet from your après session in the Mooserwirt or the Krazy Kangaruh and you are only a few minutes from the main pedestrian area of central St Anton. The Chalet Alpenheim has a few convenient single rooms and if you have a group of four, than make sure you book the junior suite with two rooms and a kitchenette on the top floor! Here it is really worth paying the extra for a sunny balcony with lovely views.
Italian resorts are usually fairly laid back about après ski but there are exceptions. Cervinia, which links over to Zermatt, has a few lively bars and the liveliest of them all is in the Chalet Dragon right on the slopes as you come down at the end of the day. This place gives Cervinia its aprèsphere.
The rooms in the Chalet Dragon are sectioned off in a separate wing so you don’t get the noise of the bar. The chalet is also very well placed to appreciate all the other bars of Cervinia, being about 100m from the centre. The rooms in this chalet are large and this property was one of our biggest sellers last season, so get in early if you have a group.
The best party in Switzerland is undoubtedly in Verbier, and the Place Central is where it all happens.
Chalet Hotel De Verbier is so popular it’s usually sold out for peak dates long before the season starts. It is directly opposite the best that Verbier has to offer and one the all-time classic après ski bars, the Farinet. Live music, potent shakers, a buzzing dance floor and a sliding roof that opens to let the steam out every couple of hours, come together to provide the ultimate Swiss après ski experience.
Courchevel is the famous name in the world’s biggest ski area, but most people are put off by the prices of the extortionately flashy resort at 1850. To avoid the Ruskies and the €40 fondues, the UK market prefers to head to it's little brother just down the road in Courchevel 1650. The prices are better and the après is more convivial. This part of Les Trois Vallées is the most sun-facing and has the prettiest tree runs. Several of our most popular properties are in this resort like the Chalet Cascades and the Chalet Hotel Les Avals.
The Chalet Hotel Les Avals sleeps 70, so it’s already got a ready-made party on most weeks. The chalet hotel also hosts the best après ski bar in resort, Rocky’s. There is a live band on during après a couple of nights a week and it is well setup with TVs for any UK sport you may want to catch. Handy in February and March for the Six Nations rugby. It also does well priced snacks and lots of daily deals on shooters, shots, bombs and beers — as well as serving the legendary après ski beer, Mützig.
If you are looking for a bargain — with all the ingredients for a riotous week of partying — then look no further than the Club Hotel Les Airelles in Les Deux Alpes.
This property is cheap and cheerful so don’t expect The Ritz. This club hotel has hosted the Iglu April ski trip for the last three years and has never failed to deliver a good time. Our crew are mostly mid-twenties ex-seasonaires that like a party almost as much as deep powder.
Les Deux Alpes attracts a young crowd and is heavily favoured by boarders who appreciate the excellent terrain park. We love the super short transfer from Grenoble, the access to La Grave over the top of the glacier, the cheap bars, the €60 helicopter day trip to Alpe d’Huez, and the reliable snow above 2500m.
And finally, here’s a property that is the best placed in the Ibiza of the Pyrenees, Pas de la Casa.
Llac Negre is right in the centre of the main drag of Pas de la Casa. The town rocks all night and has plenty of great bars including the one in this hotel. The prices are great due to Andorra being a tax free principality. The resort is also at 2000m making it one of the highest in Europe. There has been lots of investment in the lift system of the Granvalira ski area and it now compares favourably with the big French resorts of the Tarantaise Vallée.
This is only a short list of some of our favourites but we have loads more to recommend for après ski action. | http://www.igluski.com/blog?tag=%2Fchalets | 2013-05-18T10:53:17 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |

The TRANSFORMERS series has been around for ages, but it just keeps getting better and better. In this game based on the long-running cartoon franchise, you can play as any of your favorite Predacons or Maximals in the ongoing struggle between good and evil. The game boasts a simple, effective combo system for attacks which ensures that players of all skill levels will be able to master the controls. Each character has three modes of transformation (beast, vehicle, and robot), which gives the gameplay tons of variety and replay value, and all of the robotic Transformers use their own specialized attacks. There are dozens of hidden goodies to be discovered in the PlayStation version of this title that aren't in the N64 take, and the graphics make the most of the PSX's capacity. Whether you're a long-time fan of the franchise or a relative newcomer, you'll love the intense action of TRANSFORMERS: Beast Wars Transmetals.

Stylist
Hold up, buddy.
Disaster Averted
Okay, believe it or not, I have to tell a quick real-life story: as you may have garnered, I try to sort of tell a cohesive story when I write these Sims guides. As I finished the last section, I was trying to figure out how to change their careers to cover the rest of the guide… do I start giving them kids? Do I switch back to the original Schultzes, with Samson’s cousin Dannie?
Then… I was hit with Save Error 12 (check the Bugs Q&A section for details), and wouldn’t you know it? I lost IGN Guide Town!!! My last backup is from six months ago, so I’ve had to come to a tough decision… we’re going to let the Schultzes rest in peace, only to live on in pictures and downloads from the official Sims 3 site.
Instead, we’re going to move to New IGN Guide Town, in the new Twinbrook neighborhood. Our NEW stars (hopefully for the rest of the guide series) are a trio of Sims, and we’ll meet them one at a time. First up, is Destiny Carwin…!
Getting Started
Destiny, clearly, is not your typical Sim who wants a conventional career. She wants to paint the world—or at least the neighborhood—using other Sims’ bodies as her canvas. She calls a taxi and heads over to Drea’s Salon, which is already placed because this is the Twinbrook template. She signs up for the job with no problem.
As with other interactive jobs, there are three responsibilities for Destiny to pay attention to in order to get promoted. However, unlike the other careers, being a stylist does not require any job skills. Destiny gets promoted by successfully fulfilling styling requests, by earning tips as a result of those requests, and by building her portfolio of successes. That third one is probably the one that’s not self-explanatory, so we’ll get to that one eventually.
Styling hours are Tuesday through Saturday, and it’s currently Sunday morning, so it’s going to be awhile. That’s fine, though: this is a new family, which means I need to get their cooking and so on developed, and put her two roommates into part-time jobs for now. And I’m sure none of you need to see any of that.
Ah, Destiny automatically gets a contract to do a styling job. By clicking the button, Destiny hops in a taxi and heads down to the salon. There, she meets the client, as well as a little mini storyline behind the contract. Turns out that Pattina Knack wants some new threads for her athletic outfit because she wants to look her best for a gym opening. Not the most prestigious order in the world, but it has to start somewhere.
Destiny heads over to one of the makeover stations, which looks like this…
The two cabinets, the mirror, and the platform in front of the mirror collectively is a makeover station. Destiny interacts with the platform in front of the mirror, but can interact with any of the four objects to start the process. She picks the “Offer Makeover To…” command, then selects Pattina from the selection box that pops up. While she can offer a makeover to anyone on the lot, until she builds up some trust, random strangers might refuse her. Because Pattina has offered a contract, Pattina will guarantee to accept the offer. By the way, a copy of the contract as it were is on the left side of the screen, just in case Destiny forgets who contracted her or what the contracted Sim wants. (Destiny is a blond, after all!)
Making Over a Sim
We come to a modified Create-A-Sim screen. Destiny can actually affect everything here: hair, clothes, and makeup; everything except facial structure. However, because Destiny is contracted only to do an athletic outfit, that’s what we need to concentrate on now.
There is a lot of freedom here: Sims typically don’t care what they look like, oddly enough. There is no reason you can’t give all your clients the same outfits, or a butt-ugly outfit, or an outfit that is completely hideous to look at. Destiny decides, what the heck, let’s give this elder something that will attract the eyes…
Oh yeah: that will turn some heads!
Destiny hits the check mark, and… uh… it didn’t turn out so well. Hm… perhaps giving her an outfit that can cause video epilepsy may not have been the best choice? Destiny makes the offer again for a makeover… Ah, I see the problem. See, Pattina wanted a new athletic outfit, and what I did was recolored her outfit. Here’s the magic button you need to click…
That’s the “add an outfit” button, and remember that any given category of clothing can have up to three outfits. You probably won’t come to that limit when dealing with Townies, but your own Sims might get up there if you switch up their clothes often enough.
Now, remember that Destiny is just giving a random makeover here: she only gets one chance per contract, and she already failed once. However, she goes ahead and makes a new outfit for Pattina anyway, something a bit more conservative. Because this is a freelance makeover, Destiny earns a tip.
Or rather, she would have, but according to a message that pops up, Pattina refuses to pay. Sims have a 24-hour cooldown when they get made over, which means that Pattina won’t pay again for a makeover for one more day. The makeover “takes” in the sense that Pattina now has a new athletic outfit, but Destiny doesn’t have anything to show for it. This is to keep you from abusing the system, so to speak, by making over only one Sim a million times per day.
No matter. Destiny starts offering her services to anyone on the lot, giving quick hairstyle changes and color changes to existing outfits. Each one earns her a little cash, plus job experience. The cash she earns from styling far outweighs her weekly stipend: she gets about $100 per makeover and makes a measly $178 weekly, meaning she earns more with just two makeovers than from a whole week of doing nothing. (Elementary math FTW!) Clearly, Destiny is on her way.
All is not perfect: because she is a poor stylist (level 1 remember), she has a rather strong chance of failing a freelance makeover. Failing one basically randomizes the client’s makeup and possibly their clothes, making them look like something out of a horror movie, or perhaps a Marten Jansen painting.
The next day, Destiny gets a new contract, and vows not to mess it up. Her client, Penny Pincher (seriously?!), wants a new hair color. Well, there is no option to “add a hair color” like there is to add an outfit, so just recoloring Penny’s hair should do. Naturally, nothing can possibly go wrong with this.
Ugh. Well, Penny likes it, which is all that really matters. With a successful contract completed, a popup box insists that Penny gets her picture taken. You don’t even have a choice here: the game kicks you to picture taking interface. Your Z and X buttons change the zoom, and your C key takes the shot. For some reason, you can’t pause the game, and Penny keeps dancing around in various poses just to annoy me. Oh well… I get a half-decent shot, and the picture goes into Destiny’s portfolio.
This is a good time to talk about the portfolio, actually. As soon as Destiny got her job here, she got a PDA, which went right into her inventory. Destiny can check it out through her inventory, and view all the pictures she’s taken. Now, the way the portfolio works is that there are different contracts needed to fill it up. For example, Destiny’s first picture here is “New Hair Color.” If she encounters another Sim who wants their hair redone, Destiny will still earn the job experience and the cash for doing so, but her portfolio will not get better. However, the next time Destiny gets a new contact type, her portfolio will grow.
When you open the PDA, you can pull pictures out of it, and the picture becomes a standard item. That means you can hang the picture on the wall or put it on a desk, or even sell it (though they always sell for $0). This doesn’t really help you out at all, and in fact for Destiny, it would be counterproductive: she wants pictures in her portfolio to help with her job progress and experience, and removing the pics removes the progress of the portfolio. Still, she can unload the pictures if, for some reason, she wants to change careers.
On her third day, Destiny gets a pretty large contract: she is to give Jenni Jones-Brown a new everyday outfit, two new sleepwear outfits, two new formalwear outfits, and a new swimwear outfit. This one will take awhile…
Once Destiny finishes, she sadly doesn’t get paid in scale to the task; in fact, she’s only paid a measly $60, despite making six new outfits. She does however get a new entry to her portfolio and some job experience, both of which are arguably better than petty cash.
Working From Home
After finishing with that client, Destiny gets a bit hungry for lunch, and she decides to go home… and is still on the clock! That’s right, Destiny can work from home, except for contracts. At the moment, she’s made over everyone else at the salon, so she decides to just go home for now and have lunch.
While she’s there, Destiny decides to make a quick purchase. She drops $750 on a drafting table, which can be found in the Hobbies & Skills subsort of the Study sort, plus a bit more for a special stool, which you can buy from the same subsort. Her room gets a bit cramped, but they can’t afford much more at the moment…
Man, this is the whole reason why I kept the Schultzes around is so I wouldn’t run into money problems like this for the sake of the guide. Bah. Well, I promise, when The Sims 3: Late Night comes out, the Carwins will be ready to roll. Oh sure, I could throw in a “rosebud” or two, but heck, what fun is that? And you get to see how my poor Sims can claw their way to the top!
AAANNNYYYway… The whole point of the drafting table is to give Destiny a way to flesh out her skills. By interacting with the drafting table, she can increase her painting skill, as well as new fashion concepts or architectural designs. Hm… Valerie might want to steal the drafting table for her purposes, so Destiny decides to just lock her door. Hey, they may be sisters, and they may love each other, but Destiny has never liked sharing. I heard once that as a toddler, she beat Valerie with the arm of her own teddy bear.
As with all skills, a progress bar fills as she works on the drafting table. Regardless of what she picks, Destiny is gaining experience toward her painting skill. However, there is a key difference among the various options. Because Destiny is employed as a Stylist, every moment she is studying fashion concepts, she is gaining job experience! This makes learning the actual painting skill a bit slower, but it helps get her promoted up the ladder a heck of a lot faster.
Destiny hits Level 2 of the Stylist career track before the end of the week. On her fifth workday, she is not alerted when it’s time to go to work… yet there is a contract waiting for her. This goes to show you that the message alerts for contracts don’t show up once your Stylist gets past being a newbie. There is a hint here: if Destiny goes to her job panel, she sees the phrase “On the clock” in red rather than the usual dark navy. When “On the clock” is red, that means a contract is waiting for her, and she needs to leave the house. When “On the clock” is navy, she can stay home and just work on her drafting table.
No problem though: she drives over to the salon, takes her contract, and gets some job experience. Note that this is a new contract type, one that includes the client getting a new hairstyle and a new accessory in addition to a new outfit. “Accessory” can be anything from new earrings to a pair of glasses or even socks: just something new.
Freestylin'
Starting the next week, Destiny is at Level 3 in her Stylist career track. At that point, she’s allowed to give “freestyle makeovers,” which really is a fancy way of saying that she gets to go to other people’s homes to do the makeovers rather than the salon. I still need to open her job panel and, if “On the clock” is red, I need to click the “Go To Work” button that’s there. Rather than going to the salon, Destiny takes the taxi to the client’s home. This time, it’s Phoenix Prudence, who just wants a new hair color. I click him, and we see this…
“Imply client looks like a llama”? Ouch! Well, Destiny is a nice girl and wants to climb up the ranks of being a Stylist, not smack away clients. ‘Twould be fun for a Sim with the Evil trait, I’m sure, but not for our pink-tipped hottie. Destiny goes ahead and fulfills the contract, then heads home to work on her sketches some more.
Once Destiny hits Level 4, things get a lot more active. Now, she’s getting multiple contract offers per day. She gets three contract offers immediately, and takes them in turn, as she’s not on a time limit to get them done, other than the 7pm deadline of her work hours. This allows her to gain job experience rapidly, not to mention the increased cash from the promotions, and manages to cram in even more once she’s free to work on her drafting board.
Destiny eventually hits Level 6. In her job description, one line reads: “Keep your portfolio overflowing with the latest looks, and weed out images of yesterday’s trends.” Despite what that might imply, the game doesn’t care about what your portfolio has in it: all that matters is the portfolio being as full as humanly possible at all times. You might want to remove photos of Sims who are dead if you use the PDA to solicit your styling services, but otherwise, you may as well keep them in.
The final Stylist milestone is at Level 9; though technically you can do it anytime before then, it seems to gain some effectiveness if you wait, and besides, she wasn’t able to afford it before now. Destiny purchases her own salon stuff, which is located in the Hobbies & Skills subsort of the Entertainment sort of Buy Mode. Note that she can buy a makeover station (the two cabinets and a mirror with a platform), as well as her selection of tattoo chairs. She can only afford one due to purchasing a brand new beautiful hot pink car, so she goes for the makeover station.
She can’t invite any Sims directly with the makeover station, but now, whenever she invites friends over, she can immediately force them to have a makeover for some additional money. Again, this is a good excuse to have a makeover party, sort of like those crazy Mary Kay and Avon saleswomen that all you ladies out there know about.
By the way, one advantage to having her own car is that Destiny can now interact with it and use a special “Perform Job: [Whatever]” command to go to a lot and do a freestyle makeover, just in case you accidentally close out the message center window and are too lazy to go into Map View.
It’s pretty much the same routine from here on out: Destiny does contracts when she’s got them, and works on her drafting board when she doesn’t. At this point, her Painting skill is maxed out, so her sketches are fetching over $300 each, making her an additional $750 or more daily in addition to her weekly stipend and her styling fees. She’ll definitely be carrying the family for a bit… at least until we get to the next subsection of the guide, anyway!
Stylist Q&A
Do Sims care about what they look like?
Not really. Unless a Sim has a specific request (which will be listed in their contract on the popup box on the left side of the screen), you can do whatever you want when you makeover a Sim. You can make clashing colors, Mohawks for elders, or any texture for any surface you want. The game basically detects that you did something, leaving the actual makeover’s quality in the eye of you, the gamer.
Gaining promotions seems to take forever, especially because there are no required skills for being a stylist! Any tips?
A simply routine will net you tons of experience points for the Stylist career. Basically, the routine is a simple if/then statement loop: if you have a contract waiting, then go do it at the salon. If you don’t have a contract waiting, every second you’re on the clock, stay home and do the “Research Fashion Designs” command at a drafting table. Your job experience will rocket upward, and you’ll find that you get far more experience and progress just sitting on your butt than actually working. It’s just like being at the IGN offices!
That’s not to say you should only practice your research while you’re on the clock. You’ll gain job experience every so often as long as you’re working on the drafting table (provided you’ve chosen “Research Fashion Designs”) regardless of whether you’re on the clock or not.
Right, good guess! Just head to Map View, filter the tags by “Jobs and Opportunities,” and you’ll see where all your potential clients are located.
How many possible pictures are there for the portfolio?
Forty. Every picture adds 2.5% completion to the portfolio, though it’s rounded down when you check the reports. Simple math tells us that there are 40 different contract types that you can take.
Okay, speaking of the portfolio, does it have any other use other than a picture collection device?
“Picture collection device”? You mean a “camera”? Man, I thought I was the only one who used awkward phrases under the guise of a more sophisticated vocabulary. Anyway, one thing the portfolio does is guarantee you customers. Say you makeover Pete Falkon and take his picture for the portfolio. Now, any time Pete is on the same lot as your stylist, you can use a special command from the PDA called “Solicit Styling Services…” This lets you basically force a previous customer—Pete in this case—to pay you to make him over again. He still won’t pay if you try this more than once per 24 hours, but once you make over the town, you could throw a party some day and solicit your talents on all your party guests for some serious cash.
I took a contract that says I need to give my client new shoes. Which outfit do I apply that to?
It doesn’t really matter, but I always apply new shoes to the client’s every day outfit. Same deal with new hair styles, new hair colors, new makeup, or anything else: I just do it for the everyday outfit by default, but it doesn’t matter. The important thing is doing the new shoes (or whatever) and not doing anything else.
My client wants three new outfits, but she already has one, and I can’t add a fourth! What do I do?
Remember that if it says “new outfit,” it means you can change their current outfit, you just can’t merely recolor it. Recoloring an outfit counts as not giving them anything at all, strangely enough, so you’ll want to change up the top and bottom of an outfit to get your contract fulfilled.
Why is my client yelling at me when I’m visiting him?
You go to clients’ houses to work, not to socialize. Doing literally anything that isn’t related to making over the client).

Location, location, location - this hotel's got it. Right on Powell, between Sutter and Post, on the cable car line and Union Square, and across from the Sir Francis Drake.
In the morning, the Chancellor guest can have a bite to eat in the Chancellor Cafe downstairs (they make excellent, after a few attempts, crisp, dry bacon), or go next door to Sears, home of little pancakes, or have a continental breakfast buffet in the lobby's little bar/lounge, or have some complimentary foo-foo brand coffee, tea and designer cookies while sitting in the little lobby looking out the bright, front windows or while chatting with a tour agent at the little tour booth, also there in the lobby.
At night, after going to one of the kabillion places within walking distance there around Union Square, to eat or do whatever, as last call approaches, if you still want to imbibe, just step 50 ft. across the street to the sidewalk in front of the Sir Francis Drake. Not at all to be confused with the stuffy Westin St. Francis (which is also in the neighborhood). Outgoing, late-night partiers can expect to find limo after limo arriving and departing, most filled with alcohol and other night owls of like mind.
But how does one sleep with all the hubbub going on out front? This was my favorite part. Sound-proof windows combined with thick, heavy black out curtains gave complete lack of stimulation. It was like sleeping in the womb. Trust me, it's not often I say, after sleeping in a hotel room, that I slept like a rock.
The rooms themselves were not the lap of luxury, but they were nice and clean, for the most part. I add that because in the hallway of our room, the carpet wasn't finished (like the edged carpet on an airplane) or tucked under a baseboard, but just cut and sitting there for us to view. Am I being too picky, cause that was it for bad stuff.
The rooms aren't that big, but what do you want for a boutique hotel fashioned from a renovated 1914 property. In fact, our room had two twin beds. I felt like a teenager on the Brady Bunch - it was cool.
Lastly, I have to mention the enormous closet and the amenities which were rather unique and thoughtful: an umbrella, iron and board, Chancellor Hotel rubber ducky (like the Conrad has), Q-tips and user-friendly alarm clock.
I was very, very happy I stayed at this hotel.

There are suggestions that Quercetin inhibits the hep c virus so I took it for that. Unfortunately I developed stomach and bowel pain, plus dizziness, even though I took it after food. I intend to give it another try in a week or so, starting at one tablet a day then building up from there.
No effects noticed.

John Perry wins $162,500 playing Lucky Day Lotto.
Aurora, IL—February 26, 2013—“I have always had a feeling that I would win big someday, but it’s still unbelievable,” John Perry said after hitting the jackpot playing Lucky Day Lotto. The Aurora resident recently won $162,500 when his $1 Quick Pick ticket matched all five numbers – 03-06-19-33-35 – in the February 8 drawing.
Perry was out at a store when he checked his ticket. “I placed the ticket under the Lottery scanner to see if it was a winner and the screen read, ‘File a claim.’ I asked the clerk to double check it and to tell me the exact amount of my prize. I really never expected to win this much,” he said.
After calling his girlfriend with the good news, Perry went diamond ring shopping and proposed on Valentine’s Day. “We were already planning to get married, but this win made it possible for me to buy a ring,” said Perry. He also plans to pay off debts, get a new car and pay for the wedding next year. “This couldn’t have happened at a better time.”
The winning ticket was purchased at Thornton Gas and Food, 2800 Ogden Avenue in Aurora. The retailer will receive a $1,625 bonus, 1 percent of the prize amount, for selling the winning ticket. Perry’s Lottery check will be for $113,750 after required state and federal withholding.
There were two winners of $162,500 in the February 8 Lucky Day Lotto drawing. The other winning ticket was purchased at Speedway, located at 9059 South Kingery in Willowbrook. Jackpots for Lucky Day Lotto start at $100,000. Drawings are seven days a week with over 35,000 winners every day. That’s over 200,000 winners in Illinois every week! Lucky Day Lotto drawing takes place every night.

Analyst: Apple keynote to focus on home entertainment
By LC Angell
Contributing Editor
Published: Monday, January 8, 2007
News Categories: Apple
American Technology Research analyst Shaw Wu believes that Apple’s product announcements at Macworld Expo tomorrow will focus on Macs and home entertainment, but that the company could also unveil a new iPod, cell phone, or even an Apple-branded HDTV.
“There appears to be more uncertainty as to what Apple CEO Steve Jobs will announce this year than in previous years. We believe this is likely because Apple is plugging leaks better as protecting its secrecy remains a top priority for the company,” Wu says in a research note to clients today. “We therefore believe there will likely be more surprises this year. We anticipate announcements to focus on two areas—Macs and home entertainment. Our supply chain sources indicate new vPods with Bluetooth stereo headphones and cell phones near/at manufacturing stage, though we are not certain on near-term timing.”
As do many other Apple watchers, Wu expects Apple to officially release its iTV streaming media device this week. He also expects new iTunes Store movie partners, and hears whispers of an Apple big-screen TV. “We anticipate new movie content partnerships with one or more studios (Fox, Universal, Paramount, and Warner) that extend beyond Disney,” says Wu. “Furthermore, we are not certain on timing but our analysis indicates that Apple is beyond prototype on large-screen technologies (for a larger monitor or possibly Apple-branded HDTV).”
Wu says a new video iPod is definitely in the works, but is unsure of timing. “The very successful vPod has not had a major update since August 2005 when it was first announced. Our analysis in the supply chain indicates that its successor has been under development for some time and recent data indicates shifting component order dynamics,” Wu says. “We do not have high conviction on timing but see improved battery life, widescreen, and Bluetooth 2.0 stereo as the newest features.”
Wu is also unsure if the long-rumored iPod phone will be shown tomorrow. “While our analysis continues to indicate Apple’s first cell phone is technically complete, its ‘go-to-market’ strategy continues to be a mystery and likely a gating factor (MVNO vs. traditional carrier or both),” says the analyst. “Our conviction remains high that Apple’s first cell phone will be released in 2007—potentially 1H
In other news, Shaw Wu was forbidden to ever comment on anything Apple ever again.

Shaw Wu is lame. He either states the obvious or makes stupid predictions that never come true. But I suppose thats what most analysts do.

Over the next three months, Anderson County residents will be invited to share their ideas for making Anderson not just a good community, but a great place to live, work and play now and for years to come.
The goal of the Imagine Anderson initiative, which is being directed by a steering committee made up of nearly 50 Anderson area leaders, is to involve and engage residents in planning the county's future.
With broad-based citizen-input, project leaders hope to develop a vision for the "ideal" Anderson, as well as a plan for achieving goals identified during the "imagining" process.
The information-gathering effort will include one-on-one meetings with opinion makers and trendsetters from different businesses, churches, schools, communities and civic groups around the county, as well as focus groups and town hall meetings. Citizens will also be able to share their ideas electronically by accessing the initiative's web site at.
The individual interviews, the focus-group sessions and the town-hall meetings will be facilitated by consultants with Carpe Diem Community Solutions, Inc., a Florida-based firm with extensive experience in helping communities develop a shared image for their future.
The community forums will allow residents to discuss topics of interest and concern to them and their families in the areas of business and economic development, education, the arts, government, diversity and environment.
Using community input, Carpe Diem consultants will work with the steering committee to develop a list of goals, along with vision statements for each goal. A proposed vision plan will be presented to the community in early 2007.
An implementation team will work with groups, churches, organizations and individuals who agree to support one or more objectives of the vision plan once it's approved.

'Super 8' In IMAX: Will you be seeing J.J. Abrams' retro sci-fi opus on the big screen or REALLY BIG screen?
By Jeff Jensen 上 六月 10, 2011
Super 8 — which has become something of an obsession here at EW.com, as our recent bevy of posts on the film can attest — opens throughout the day on 325 screens in North America as part of a sneak preview push organized by Paramount Pictures and Twitter. The slate of showings is also a big deal for IMAX, which is hosting the majority of these previews: Never before has the exhibitor effectively opened a movie on this many of its locations. “We have been talking for some time the notion about having a release window this early,” says Greg Foster, chairman and president of Filmed Entertainment at IMAX. “This is new territory for us.

If you've seen time force, the this is the best ending possible, these episodes single handedly made this the best season, and officially made me a fan again. Maybe even better than the In Space( season 6) finale.

Hercule Poirot has a rare opportunity when he gets a second chance to solve a murder circumstance prevented him from solving two years before. On his way to visit Capt. Hastings in the Argentine, Poirot had stopped in Buenos Aires. While out for dinner, a young woman named Iris Russell was poisoned. The police found cyanide in her purse and ruled her death to be suicide, something her husband Barton Russell refuses to accept. When Poirot agrees with him and raises objections to the hasty police verdict, he is quickly ordered deported. Now, two years later, Russell Barton is hosting a dinner in London on the anniversary of his wife's death with everyone who was present invited to the event. This time, Poirot has no intention of letting the killer get away. Written by garykmcd
The Yellow Iris is a very interesting, albeit not entirely successful, adaptation. It does maintain the spirit of the story, which is a well-written and fun one with some parallels to Sparkling Cyanide in the means of the killing, and while I would have liked the pace to have steadied a little and one or two of the characters more drawn out, I really liked The Yelloe Iris overall.
The final solution is very much like the episode, very interesting if not exactly ingenious. The production values are top notch, with some gorgeous scenery and costumes and I loved the photography, and the music is both beautiful and haunting. The dialogue is excellent, the direction is good and the cast are top drawer, David Suchet is an outstanding Poirot and he is supported very well by Hugh Fraser, Pauline Moran and David Troughton.
All in all, a good and interesting episode without being one of the best. 7/10 Bethany Cox | http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0676194/ | 2013-05-18T10:15:54 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |

Tweet Cleaner for iPhone allows you to quickly search and delete Tweets
Tweet Cleaner is a new iPhone app that lets you easily delete Tweets from your Twitter account. You can also easily search your timeline by keyword or date, making it easy to find the exact Tweet you may be looking for. Furthermore, Twitter only allows you see your last 3200 Tweets, but Tweet Cleaner will store older Tweets, allowing you to have your own personal archive. The first time you use it, Tweet Cleaner will load your last 3200 Tweets, then keep adding more Tweets every time you launch it.
What!
There are 4 comments. Add yours.
They're charging for this thing? And almost $2? forget it. There are online desktop versions that do the same for free.
Would you mind sharing what free alternatives that would do that same thing? Thanks
...Or just delete them through any twitter app for free :s
If you have hundreds or even more tweets that you want to be deleted, deleting them one by one isn't really an option. | http://www.imore.com/comment/306356 | 2013-05-18T10:12:27 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [

Roundup: Apps Aplenty, Games Galore, & Loose Ends!
Web Apps
HyperOffice promises to make your iPhone a mobile business collaboration and productivity tool. With HyperOffice, you can share your data with associates and clients. Also, you can access your data in Outlook and even remain in sync. HyperOffice is an award winning software that makes things easier for iPhone business users.
Zoho is a web office suite that includes tools for word processing, spreadsheets, presentations, databases, note-taking, wikis, etc. With the launch of 2.0, Zoho has completely revamped their web app, iZoho, for the iPhone. The new design introduces tabbed interface for easy navigation between Zoho Apps. I gave iZoho a twirl and couldn't manage to edit my documents as promised, viewing was a cinch though. However, the interface is slick and I remain hopeful that the customizability of Zoho can translate to the iPhone.
Mobispine is a free mobile news reader that offers easy categorization and over 250,000 global sources to comb through. It's a great way to streamline your daily blog visits and quicken the pace for how you read websites. The best thing is it's easily customizable!
This web app allows you to run single Dashboard widgets from the Widgetop catalog without loading Mobile Widgetop Desktop. Essentially, it puts the widgets on the homescreen of the iPhone which allows for easier access to the widgets.
Games
A FPS that uses the accelerometer and multi-touch for controls is planned to be released very soon. There is a video of gameplay footage and graphic-wise it is pretty amazing. This is probably a first glimpse of many, many FPS to come to the iPhone.
For jailbroken iPhones this game has a basic premise but is executed beautifully. The graphics and animation are definitely exciting but the gameplay leaves a lot more to be desired. The whole idea behind the game is to "shoot the targets that pop up on the screen". As simple as it is, it's a great time killer when waiting for the next appointment.
An old favorite for the oldies. Temper4iPhone is an emulator of TurboGrafx-16 also known as PC Engine for the iPhone. Which basically means, you can play Bonk on the iPhone. Emulators are a sweet way to gain access to incredibly vast game libraries rich with history.
Native Apps

Thanks for the list. I'm looking forward to using them on my 3G iPhone in a few weeks.
I left an email for sling media about using Orb Live on the iPhone and how it sucks and basically asked about any updates regarding SlingPlayer on the iPhone and they replied saying to stay tuned to the WWDC for some NEWS in the next few days...that was Saturday.

Sherlock actor uses iPhone to audition for Star Trek
If the name Benedict Cumberbatch doesn't mean anything to you yet, just wait. He plays the title roll in Sherlock, the BBC's brilliant, modern re-imagining of Sherlock Holmes. He'll also be the voice of the dragon, Smaug, in Peter Jackson's upcoming Lord of the Rings prequels, The Hobbit. And if that's not enough, rumor has it he's landed one of the most iconic roles in science fiction in J.J. Abrams upcoming Star Trek sequel. You got it. "KHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!" Or maybe not?
On Sherlock,.
Last December, on vacation in Gloucestershire, England, [Benedict Cumberbatch] got the call that [J.J..”
Cumberbatch chased the role round the recordings of an iPhone, and round the challenges of CrackBerry, and round Christmas vacation before he auditioned it up! Abrams tasked him! He tasked Cumberbatch, and Cumberbatch had at him!
We won't be seeing any iPhones in The Hobbit or Star Trek any time soon, but we'll almost certainly see more in Sherlock when it returns for a third series sometime in 2013. If you haven't watched it yet, go find it on iTunes or Netflix. It's indubitably good.

Where in the article does he say he's playing Khan? As I recall, Abrams has repeatedly said that the next movie will NOT involve Khan.
Google is your friend. Numerous websites confirm he is playing Khan and there are even leaked set photos floating around.
Probably from this...
wow, it's got Peter Weller in as well. I wonder who/what he'll be playing.
Probably not Khan. Could be Sybok. The sequel just might be a re-imagining of "Star Trek V: The Final Frontier." With Cumberbatch as Spock's not-evil-but-hugely-misguided brother Sybok.
And Kirk, Spock, and McCoy all singing "Row Row Row Your Boat" around a campfire at Yosemite.
"On Sherlock, Cumberbatch’s character is a heavy iPhone user. Indeed the first episode of the first series revolves almost entirely around a pink iPhone"
^what moron wrote this? did the person actually bother to watch the 3 episode series? although the pink iphone was part of the show, "Sherlock" actually was prominently using a BlackBerry as his personal phone for all 3 episodes, using it to send out mass messages and to also find the flaw in the faked painting...
I've watched all six.
So please remind me where in the first 3 episodes is he a prominent iPhone user as his main phone...?
The new series of "Sherlock" starts Sunday on PBS!
Love this series. Absolutely brilliant. Can't wait for the new season.
Agreed... Absolutely fantastic series!
It's the best time to make a few plans for the future and it is time to be happy. I have read this publish and if I may just I want to suggest you some fascinating things or advice. Perhaps you can write next articles regarding this article. I wish to learn even more issues about it! | http://www.imore.com/sherlock-actor-iphone-audition-star-trek | 2013-05-18T10:13:07 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [

I think them making a netbook that runs off the iPhone OS would be stupid. I can understand Google doing this with Android but Apple already has a great computer OS. I say keep the computer OS's to the computers and the iPhone OS to the iPhone and iPod Touch.
I really wish chad is correct and apple surprises us at WWDC this year. You guys didn't really seem to speculate on the possibility of 2 new models... do you think it's probable? | http://www.imore.com/tipb-presents-iphone-live-podcast-10-fooling | 2013-05-18T10:53:42 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [

Denso To Build Auto Parts Plant In India
Mon, 05/07/2012 - 2:27pm
NAGOYA, May 7 (Kyodo) — Denso Corp. said Monday it will build a new plant in the northern Indian state of Haryana for about 4.2 billion yen to produce small motors for wipers and other auto parts as its sixth production base in the country.
The major auto parts manufacturer will supply the products to Japan's Suzuki Motor Corp., India's Tata Motors Ltd. and other automakers in the country to keep pace with India's expanding auto market.
The firm based in Kariya, Aichi Prefecture, plans to start construction of the plant in mid-May and begin production in July next year, employing about 450 local workers at the plant.

I keep a stack of books by my bed for “daily” wind-down reading. They are meant to do various things: cool me out, give me hope and/or inspiration, help me think about pressing matters, entertain. One of them is Keith Stewart’s It’s a Long Road to a Tomato: Tales of an Organic Farmer Who Quit the Big City for the (Not So) Simple Life
. I’ve just replaced my first edition with the expanded one.
I love the book partly because, like many city people, I yearn for some connection to nature. I’m a secret farmer (in my head), so I get to read Keith’s compelling writing about the ‘inside’ of farming (which he came to as a complete novice), and vicariously experience that very different life. What I learn throughout the book is that the ‘inside’ of farming is pure improvisation, thinking on your feet, using what’s there, every single day.
I also trust Stewart’s parsing of difficult issues around which there’s an awful lot of chatter and contradiction, like genetically engineered seeds, what ‘sustainable’ and ‘organic’ really means and, as Deborah Madison put it “exactly what we are putting on our plates.”
Like any really good book, Stewart’s is way more than about the subject at hand. Which is why it’s in the STACK .
What’s in your stack of daily reading?

ATTORNEY FOR APPELLANT
Jan B. Berg
Indianapolis, Indiana
ATTORNEYS FOR APPELLEE
Jeffrey A. Modisett
Attorney General of Indiana
Arthur Thaddeus Perry
Deputy Attorney General
Indianapolis, Indiana
Here, Turnley committed and was properly convicted of two burglaries. These crimes,
however, were committed pursuant to a single agreement to steal money from Monique
Hollowell. Accordingly, only one conspiracy to commit burglary conviction (Count IV) can
stand.
See footnote
B. Conspiracy to Commit Murder
The Braverman rule does not apply, however, to the conspiracy to commit murder count. Although the original agreement to steal Moniques money envisioned the possibility of two separate burglaries, it did not envision killing her. The State argues that there is evidence that Thacker and Turnley formed a separate agreement to kill Monique at the top of the stairs immediately before entering her room. Under this view, Thackers statement that Monique must be killed followed by Turnleys assisting in the killing formed an agreement to do Monique in.
Even if the evidence supported an agreement apart from participation in the murder, the conspiracy to commit murder count must be vacated because it would violate the Indiana Double Jeopardy Clause. See Ind. Const. art. I, § 14. As this Court recently explained in Richardson v. State, 717 N.E.2d 32, 53 (Ind. 1999),.
The conspiracy to commit murder charge, which was read to the jury as
part of the preliminary instructions, alleged that Turnley agreed with Thacker to murder
Monique by strangulation and that Turnleys restraint of Monique on a bed was
the overt act in furtherance of that agreement. The murder charge, also
read to the jury as part of the preliminary instructions, alleged that Turnley
knowingly killed Monique by manual strangulation.
See footnote
Under these instructions, there is at
least a reasonable possibilityindeed a high probabilitythat the jury used the same evidentiary
factthe restraining and strangulation of Moniqueto prove an essential element of the conspiracy
to commit murder (the overt act) and also the essential element of murder.
Thus, even if there was a separate agreement to murder, conviction of
conspiracy to commit murder and murder would violate the Indiana Double Jeopardy Clause.
Accordingly, we remand to the trial court with instructions to vacate this
count. | http://www.in.gov/judiciary/opinions/previous/archive/03210002.trb.html | 2013-05-18T10:42:29 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |

HOWWE MET; RAY GALTON AND ALAN SIMPSON
Sunday 11 June 1995

BBC apologises for showing episode of The Tweenies where character dresses as Jimmy Savile
Sue Cook reflects on two decades of broadcasting at the BBC
'The Jelly Bean' from Tales of the Jazz Age, By F Scott Fitzgerald
RAY GALTON: It was 1948, somewhere round about August, and I was lying on the bed in my little ward in the Surrey county sanatorium near God-alming where I was being treated for TB. Alan was there, too, also being treated for TB.. They liked to put people of similar ages together, so we were put in next to each other. He was always the last one up in the sanatorium; he used to stay in bed as long as possible.
A sanatorium isn't like a hospital, because you're in there a long time; within reason, they let you do what you like. We started writing a comedy series for broadcasting through the sanatorium, and they created a little radio room in a linen cupboard. We were tremendously keen on comedy, and then we had this idea of doing this show, so we wrote to Frank Muir and Dennis Norden. I think we asked if we could be their tea-boys when we got out of hospital, but we weren't really serious about writing.
Alan got out of hospital before me and went back to work; I was there another few months. Then Strepto- mycin came on the market and I was out in four or five months, though I wasn't allowed to go back to work.
When I got out, Alan got in touch with me. We wanted a professional opinion of our work, so we wrote this sketch, The Pirate Sketch, and sent it to the BBC. We got a letter back saying, "We were highly amused and would you like to come up for an interview." We got drunk on that letter.
That's how we got working on the show called Happy Go Lucky. The fee was 20 guineas; three shows at 20 guineas - that was 60 guineas. We knew we had to do it - if we didn't, we might as well pack up. It was terrifying - we worked every hour of the day.
About six months after the end of Happy Go Lucky, Bob Monkhouse and Dennis Goodwin, who had been writing Calling All Forces for about 60 weeks, went on holiday, and the BBC asked us to write the last six shows. We said yes. Hancock was sharing top billing with Charlie Chester, and that's how we started writing for him.
We were nervous of him; we were so young. We still thought you had to be born into showbusiness, and neither of us had any connections. Tony was very friendly, very pleasant and quite generous. We wrote for him for a couple of years, and he always had guests on his show - so we wrote for practically every big comedian in the country, and quite a few film stars, too.
We had the idea of doing a situation comedy, half an hour, with no funny voices, no jokes as such, and a complete storyline with no interruptions by a singer or instrumentalist - which all shows had then. Our producer had quite a job persuading the BBC that it should happen. That's how Hancock's Half Hour started, which ran for 10 years and really made our names.
After we split with Hancock, we were offered 10 shows to do whatever we liked - no one had ever been offered that before. Show number four was called The Offer - and the characters were called Steptoe. The head of the department came to rehearsals and said, "You know what you've got here? It's a series if I've ever seen one." We didn't want to do a series, because we'd done 10 years with Hancock. For months we said no, but as we were running out of excuses, we said: "If Harry Corbett and Wilfrid Brambell want to do the show as a series, we'll do it", thinking that they wouldn't - they were straight actors. But they both jumped at it, so we had to do it, and in the end we were bloody glad we did.
When it comes to writing we're good meshers. Alan always did the typing and I did the sitting down watching him type, the wandering round the room, the lying on the floor...
We agree about most things. We were both committed socialists, left-wingers - now we're champagne socialists. We both enjoy wine, talking about it and being snobbish about it. We also love France. Alan goes six times a year, and I occasionally go with him. But we don't agree about everything. Alan is a sports fanatic and I couldn't care less about it, but we were and are friends. Why are people friends? Because you like each other, you get on, and you can talk to each other about anything.
ALAN SIMPSON: The first time I saw Ray, I was walking along the corridor at the sanitorium in my dressing-gown. At first we didn't have a lot to do with each other because we were at opposite ends of the block. I was in Ward 2 and he was in Ward 14. But I was transferred to 14; that's when we became friends. We were both in for three years, and for the last two we were in this ward together. We used to listen to comedy shows, and we were both film fans. We've known each other 47 years, and we don't look a day older.
We started writing a comedy series, for broadcasting over the sanatorium radio system - we played the parts with a couple of other patients, one of them doing the sound effects. We were playing, really, like playing at trains.
We had another year in the sanatorium after that. I'd been a member of a church concert party before, and when I got out, I got in touch with Ray. He used to come over on the bus to Mitcham, where I lived, and we wrote four or five sketches for it. Then we wrote a 10-minute skit and sent it to the BBC. We got a letter back, asking us to go in. I remember running over to Ray's house waving this sheet of paper, like Chamberlain with the Munich Agreement.
This script we sent in - it was the summer of 1951 - ended up on the desk of the producer of a show called Happy Go Lucky, with the top comedian of the time, Derek Roy. He phoned me at the shipping office where I was working and said he'd like to meet us with a view to us writing for him. Ray and I went to see him and he said he'd pay us five shillings for each joke he bought - that was our first professional payment. Ray would come over to my mum's house, we'd sit in the front room and write two or three sheets of one-line jokes. Derek Roy would go through them, he'd tick them or cross them, count them up, give us the money from petty cash, and Ray and I would go back home and share it out. We'd started being professionals.
Our big break came when Happy Go Lucky flopped. The producer had a nervous breakdown and they brought in a new one who sacked all the writers and asked us if we could write the whole show. We worked all the hours God sent - our doctors would have been horrified.
At the time, my mother was keeping me for 30 shillings a week - she was horrified about me giving up my job. She said, "If, after a month, you can't pay me the 30 shillings, will you go back to work?" I said, "It's a deal," and the very first week, we landed a six-guinea solo slot. Then we got this Happy Go Lucky offer that paid around 25 guineas - a fortune.
When we first started out, nobody know what scriptwriters were. When we went to open a bank account, the manager said, "Well, what do you do?" and we said, "We're scriptwriters," and he thought we did sign-writing on windows. We said, "No, we write scripts," and he said, "Yes, but what do you do during the day?"
Later on, Ray and I became well-known. We got our own show, the Galton and Simpson Playhouse. About 10 years later, after we had finished working with Hancock, we were given 10 half-hour television shows to fill however we liked. We decided to do 10 comedy plays instead of a series. But we reached episode four and we dried up. We had to use a technique we had when we couldn't think of anything - we'd start by saying, "Two ... something or others" - two rat- catchers in Buckingham Palace or whatever. Ray said, "Two rag-and-bone men walking down the street..." We started writing, and decided they were father and son, and that the son was quite old, he was about 37 - that was the key. We did five episodes and went on holiday to Spain. On my way down there, I got a Daily Mail, and read that Steptoe and Son had been such an enormous success that the BBC had decided to repeat it immediately, back to back - it had never been heard of before. We were delighted. The episodes that are going out now on BBC2 are 30 years old - and the audience seem to be quite young, which is very, very nice. What we write about doesn't seem to date - some of them could have been written yesterday. The political arguments are still the same - you just change Blair and Major for Heath and Wilson.
Ray and I have lots of things in common, but the most important thing is the sense of humour, the sense of comedy. In a partnership you spend more time with each other than you do on anything else - you can spend more time with each other than you do with your families. So if you don't get on, it's purgatory.<< | http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/howwe-met-ray-galton-and-alan-simpson-1586034.html | 2013-05-18T10:56:40 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [

One For The Road: A smaller car that offers a pillar of support
Sunday 08 April 2012
Related articles
Jill Davies needs to replace a Vauxhall Zafira, bought when her children were at home. She wants a smaller car with good back support. She has £8,000 to spend.
A Car for the Head
To be even more specific, Jill does not want a flashy car, nor a car that is too "nippy" or light. She just wants a vehicle that is comfortable, safe, and a more sedate drive, which she will enjoy and care for. First off, then, we should concentrate on the seating position and clearly a raised one like Jill's old Zafira would be perfect. Now, reliability is also an issue – and the reason I would recommend the high-rise supermini that is the Honda Jazz. Jill would sit in a raised position, good for access. The seats have been judged previously as some of the most comfortable out there. Being a Honda means it has an excellent reliability record and the 1.2 petrol engine will return 50mpg. Jill's budget will buy a 2010 model with 12,000 miles on the clock from a Honda dealer.
A Car for the Heart
Jill loved her Zafira, so in theory she should also adore Vauxhall's smaller-scale Meriva. There was a new model in 2010 and Jill should be able to afford a 1.4 direct from a Vauxhall dealer. It is longer than the old model, so there is no shortage of legroom or luggage space, for that matter. The really interesting thing about the new Meriva is that the rear doors are hinged differently, so that the front and rear doors meet in the middle. It is better for access, but Jill should be happy enough with the driving position, which is suitably high. There are lots of specification levels starting with the Expression and S, and Jill should go for the Excusiv, which at least has air conditioning. For £8,000, Jill will be able to afford a 2010 1.4 with just over 12,000 miles.

Big drop in women working in top Whitehall roles
> 30 July 2012
Related articles
A drive to recruit more women to top jobs in Whitehall has stalled. The proportion of government departments headed by females has fallen from about half to about a quarter since last year.
The Institute for Government think tank has expressed concern over the reversal of women's fortunes following recent changes among the civil service's senior posts. It says the proud claim by Lord (Gus) O'Donnell, the former Cabinet Secretary, that half the permanent secretaries were women during his time as head of the civil service may now mark a high point. Only five of the 19 posts are currently held by women.
"In early 2011, it was possible to claim that half of the people in charge of departments were women, and that marked a real change with what had gone before," said Jill Rutter, the institute's programme director and a former senior Treasury official. "But then there was regime change at the top. Despite David Cameron's early promises, no woman or ethnic minority was deemed to be up to the position of cabinet secretary or head of the home civil service." She said the departures of Gill Morgan from the Wales Office and Moira Wallace from the Department of Energy and Climate Change risked "leaving the top of the civil service 'maler and paler' than it has been for some time".
Although there is no evidence that Sir Humphrey and his political masters are deliberately blocking women, Ms Rutter added: "One of the criticisms of Gus's changes was the progress of women at the top was not so well reflected lower down. The new leadership of the civil service will not only need to be seen to be champ- ioning the cause of people beyond the usual stereotypes to make it to the top of the civil service, but help them succeed when they get<< | http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/big-drop-in-women-working-in-top-whitehall-roles-7986153.html | 2013-05-18T10:53:48 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [

Slow London: 10 ways to take your time in the capital
The slow movement is gaining ground for city-break visitors
Saturday 08 May 2010
Related articles
London may be many things, but slow? Yes, even in the UK capital some of life's simplest pleasures are there to be enjoyed. The "slow" ethos is about celebrating everything local, sensory and natural; not just food but people, places, traditions and experiences. Exploring the city slowly is a great way to escape the hurly-burly. And you can take the concept of "slow" beyond Borough Market (although it's worth a stop for a roast-pork bun with crackling;
boroughmarket.org.uk ; open 11am-5pm Thurs, noon-6pm Sat; 8am-5pm Sun) with this guide to engaging with London's art, its wildlife and its communities this summer.
Ride a bike
Nothing opens up the city and creates as close a connection with one's surroundings as a jaunt on a bike; you become part of the scenery and absorb smells, sounds and sights in an instant. Sustainable transport crusader Sustrans ( sustrans.org.uk ) plots routes to rouse the inner explorer: try National Route 4, which follows the Thames from Hampton Court through Richmond Park and along the South Bank to Greenwich. This is London at its finest: regal, urban, historical and leafy.
During the London Festival of Architecture in June and July take a guided tour of the city by bicycle ( lfa2010.org). Download the London Cycling Campaign's free maps at londoncyclenetwork.org.uk.
Go swimming
Nothing washes stresses away like, as Keats wrote, the "moving waters at their priestlike task of pure ablution". Hampstead's poet might have known there is no better spot for wild swimming than London's three Highgate (or Hampstead) Ponds, off Millfield Lane (020-7485 4491).
Several wonderful art deco lidos have been a part of the city's summer culture since their 1930s heyday. At the south end of the Heath is Parliament Hill Lido (020-7485 3873; camden.gov.uk ), a good spot for a meditative lap.
Shop for vintage
The thriving scene in vintage clothing is cheap and lots of fun. And thrift shops reflect their locale better than any chain store. Savour the rummage: try on something hideous from the Eighties for a laugh and then browse for hidden gems.
Thrifty tip: trawl the charity shops in areas like Kensington and Chelsea, where old Yves Saint-Laurent gowns could be cleared from wardrobes. Or hit the monthly Vintage Fashion Fair ( pa-antiques.co.uk); the next fair is at Hammersmith Town Hall on 16 May. Winning bids often end up in places like This Shop Rocks (131 Brick Lane; 020 7739 7667), a tiny shop at the heart of an area packed with vintage stores.
Visit a museum
The museum that sits most comfortably with a slow philosophy belongs to a fictitious family: Huguenot silk-weavers in Spitalfields. Their 18th- and 19th-century home was created by an American artist who lived in 18 Folgate Street in the 1960s and 1970s. Dennis Severs' House (020 7247 4013; dennissevershouse.co.uk ) is open every Monday from 6pm-9pm. Behind its shutters the rooms are as if someone had just left them by another door, while indulgences strewn around the rooms suggest that the weavers imported a little French joie de vivre to London. (Admission £12, reservation essential.)
Slow art
The favoured art gallery for lovers of all things slow is the Dulwich Picture Gallery (Gallery Road; 020- 8693 5254; dulwichpicturegallery.org.uk ), the nation's first purpose-built art gallery. It hosts workshops and courses throughout the year. "Art in the Garden" runs over the summer holidays for families. Outside these months, ArtPlay takes place on the first and last Sundays of the month and allows children to make masks, screenprints and pictures. For adults, the gallery regularly hangs some of the most interesting exhibitions in the capital alongside its world-class collection of Old Masters. (Open Tues-Fri 10am-5pm, Sat-Sun 11am-5pm; admission £5.)
Follow your nose
The Bengali new-year celebrations close Brick Lane on 23 May. The narrow street fills with the scent of black mustard seeds, cardamom, fenugreek, curry leaves, cumin and coriander.
Equally evocative is the RHS Chelsea Flower Show at the opposite end of town. Some 400 varieties are in bloom at this time in the Queen Mary's Garden in Regent's Park, emitting a romantic haze.
Elsewhere in May, herb and apothecary gardens, like the Old Operating Theatre and Herb Garrett on the South Bank, are in full aromatic bloom.
Street art
With a diverse population and a unique energy, London is at the centre of the world's street-art movement. The liveliest hotspot is the Leake Street tunnel beneath Waterloo Station.
Further off the tourist trail, Hoxton, Shoreditch and Hackney offer the best street art in the capital. Explore the "golden triangle" of Great Eastern Street, Shoreditch High Street and Old Street for an array of cultural styles and messages.
Batspotting
Bats feed over the lakes of Hampstead Heath and Kew Gardens, stalked by the batarazzi (amateur batspotters). Kenwood House ( english-heritage.org.uk ) issues very technically titled "magic black boxes", which translate their inaudible squeaks into sound we can hear. There are more than half-a-dozen species in the capital, including pipistrelles, noctules and Natterer's bats, and the London Bat Group ( londonbats.org.uk ) organises bat-spotting walks during the summer.
Pet a pig
Animals bring out the best in children and city farms offer a wonderful dose of the natural world. Most city farms are free: Mudchute Park and Farm in the shadow of Canary Wharf on the Isle of Dogs (Pier Street; 020-7515 5901; mudchute.org ) is home to more than 200 animals. There's always something to do, whether it's taking morning horse-riding lessons at the stables or helping to round up the Gloucester Old Spots before closing. All this against the backdrop of the tallest towers in the country? Magic.
Now, have a beer
If Alastair Hook has his way London could once again be the brewing capital of the world. The city's most creative brewer, on a mission to banish tasteless fizzy lagers, founded the Meantime microbrewery in Greenwich. Inspiration for Meantime's brews comes from the city: the recipe for porter used Dickens as a source. For his latest project Hook has resurrected an old brewery at the Royal Naval College (020-3327 1280; oldbrewerygreenwich.com ). Another place to savour Hook's beer is the stone-flagged, TV-free Greenwich Union pub on Royal Hill (020-8692 6258; greenwhichunion.com ).

Last week, chanteuse Norah Jones wooed a capacity audience at the Bowl with her disarming vocals and solid musicianship. Although it was one of the last stops on her tour for The Fall, her fourth studio album, Jones and her band performed with a freshness and pluck that belied their lengthy time on the road.
Clad in a vibrant yellow, spaghetti-strap dress and sky-high peep-toe heels, Jones got right down to business when she took the stage, kicking the set off with “I Wouldn’t Need You” from The Fall. The next six songs were also from The Fall and included the album’s first single, the lively “Chasing Pirates,” as well as the mournful “Light as a Feather,” which Jones cowrote with Ryan Adams.
Paul Wellman
Norah Jones wooed the crowd with her cheerful banter and sultry voice during her headlining set last Tuesday night at the Santa Barbara Bowl.
In between numbers, Jones bantered cheerily with the crowd, teasing one enthusiastic fan about being the lone dancer in the audience during the song “Broken.” “I like your commitment,” Jones giggled. Although lighthearted in her interactions, loneliness and heartache were prevalent in her songs—particularly those from The Fall.
At one point in the concert, Jones asked the audience, “You guys want to hear a song about bull riding?” to which the fans hooted approval. “Any of you bull riders?” she continued, eliciting a giant roar from the crowd. “Really?” Jones asked. “I’m from Texas, and we don’t have that many bull riders,” she said, laughing. “Okay, I believe you. You guys got a corner on bull riding,” she teased before she and bandmate Sasha Dobson dueted on the honky-tonk Johnny Cash cover “Bull Rider.”
Other highlights of the show included the effervescent “Man of the Hour,” a song about why a dog is better than a boyfriend, which Jones played on a plinky, slightly out-of-tune piano, and the toe-tapping “Creepin’ In,” which was done acoustically with the entire band gathered around an old-fashioned radio microphone. Also memorable was “Come Away with Me,” which Jones reinterpreted for solo piano and three-part harmony.
With her sultry, slightly raspy voice, and using just the right amount of crescendo and then retreat in her phrasing, Jones is capable of wrapping the listener in emotion, whether it be whimsy, such as on “Sunrise” (Feels Like Home), or sorrow, like on The Fall’s “Back to Manhattan” and “Waiting.” And on a warm August evening, during an hour-and-a-half concert in one of her “favorite places to play,” Jones proved why she is a siren of the airwaves, enchanting all who hear her. | http://www.independent.com/news/2010/aug/31/songbird-sings/ | 2013-05-18T10:21:57 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [

New York mayor Michael Bloomberg and civic officials on Long Island have decided to start rationing petrol in the wake of devastating storms.
Petrol will be available to drivers with licence plate numbers ending in an odd number starting on Friday morning.
Drivers with plate numbers ending in an even number can access fuel on Saturday.
Mr Bloomberg said that only 25% of the city's petrol stations are open. He estimated the tight supplies could last another couple of weeks.

SOUTH LYON, Mich. — The son of an avid bicyclist from Michigan who died when a tractor-trailer struck him on a Georgia highway near the end of a cross-country ride plans to finish the journey.

So so so so happy that Finally India has an Awards show which is completely corruption free, entirely justified and totally unbias.
Bhai jaan has ensured that all corrupt minded and sleazy celebs stayed away. Luckily srk was told to keep away too as Bhai would have exposed him for having secret meetings backstage with jury members and the exchanging of brown enveloped laced with cheap third rate premier tickets for Chennai Depress.
Well done bhai for hosting and not wanting anything in return except for donations being made to Being Human.
Now Being Human can continue to sponsor ‘Mental Asylums’ up and down the country and our beloved yet troubled srkian friend can continue to receive electrical shock treatment for free. See people Bhai jaan is bade dilwale and is willing to help everyone whether friend or foe.

There is no secret to the fact that Dubai is a favorite destination for Salman Khan, who earlier told Emirates 24|7, “If I wasn’t living in Mumbai for a living, then this is where I would move.”
Besides being a favored holiday destination, Dubai is also now one of the most sought after shooting ground for the Bollywood biggies.
From Salman Khan, Shah Rukh Khan to Akshay Kumar; Bollywood now finds Dubai to be its next Switzerland.
During the shoot of his ‘Dabangg’ series Salman was seen romancing a chiffon-clad Sonakshi Sinha on various locations in the emirates.
Now sources tell us that Salman Khan’s next, tentatively titled ‘Mental’, whose shooting was postponed from January to February this year, will finally kick-off in Dubai later this month.
‘Mental’, has been in the news for various reasons, including shooting delays and casting troubles.
Indian daily reports, “Salman will be travelling to Dubai to attend the Mumbai Heroes’ Celebrity Cricket League (CCL) match on February 23. Immediately after that, he is likely to start off with Mental’s shoot with a song that features south actor Daisy (Shah)”.
“A few action sequences have also been planned to be shot at one of Dubai’s malls,” he adds.
Thanks to Mental’s shoot, Salman’s stay in Dubai will be extended by a week.
What’s also interesting is that the film is almost certain to miss the Eid deadline. “It will be the first time in the last four years that no Salman-starrer will release during Eid. In all likelihood, it will release in November now,” adds the insider.
Originally, Salman was to fly to the US from Dubai for a medical check-up but due to his court case, he will return to Mumbai soon after wrapping up the Mental shoot.

This award seem pretty genuine. But what “guild” is this? Is the Actors Guild, or the Producers, or did they just name it as such to seem genuine. Anyway, as the above poster mentioned, too many cooks spoil the food. Almost all of these winners won at the Filmfare, so nothing new here.

Feature: Top Browser Platformers 2009
January 3, 2010 9:32]
The third of our in-depth 2009 Best Of Features here on the IndieGames.com blog (after the overall Top 10 we did for Gamasutra and the 10 Indie Games for '10 article), we're proud to present ten of the best Flash-based platformers released in 2009.
It has been an incredible year for indie games, and more so for the platformer genre. We have no intentions of leaving Mac OSX and Linux users out in the cold, so here's ten games that will run on any modern-day internet browser to satiate your need for run 'n jump games.
(You can also access the full 2009 Top Browser Platformers chart -- with extra screenshots and information -- as part of the IndieGames.com Features section, which includes indie game charts from 2006 to 2008.)
Here are the top freeware browser platformers of the year:
10. Push (Ian Snyder) [Flash, freeware]
Push is a twisted platformer all about moving the level around to reach the goal. The WASD keys move the little expressionless guy around, while clicking the mouse button will push all the surrounding blocks away from the centre of your click, allowing him to progress past originally solid walls.
Great concept, yet painfully difficult to master.
9. Cave Chaos (Nitrome) [Flash, freeware]. That feeling of anxiety is replaced by some all round good fun and there's even a 2-player mode so you and your friend can re-construct some memories you may otherwise have rather forgotten.
8. Shift 4 (Antony Lavelle) [Flash, freeware].
7. Blasting Agent (Darthlupi and Tim Hely) [Flash, freeware]
Blasting Agent is an action-oriented 2D platformer with gun upgrades, collectible treasures and awesome boss battles, featuring chunky pixel art contributed by Robert Lupinek (The Cleaner). You play as a blaster-toting secret agent on a mission to save the world from being taken over by a terrorist group, which means infiltrating their secret base with guns ablazing and your adrenaline level on an all-time high.
There are only three levels to play, but you can unlock special bonuses and secret items by completing them with the maximum score possible.
6. Underworld Trip (Yoshio Ishii and Yossa) [Flash, freeware]
Nekogames' Underworld Trip is a platformer created in a style that is similar to Terry Cavanagh's Don't Look Back, where players will attempt to figure out what has happened to them by journeying deeper into the realm of the dead.
Throughout your adventure you will encounter numerous traps and obstacles which kills instantly on contact. There is no health system to allow for second chances, although you can restart from the beginning of a particular scene at any time with the use of the R key.
There are a total of eight stages to play and six single screen endings to discover, but you would have to replay the entire game starting with the first level in order to view another short end sequence.
5. The Company of Myself (Eli Piilonen and Luka Marcetic) [Flash, freeware]
The Company of Myself is a platformer which implements the game mechanic seen in the likes of Chronotron and Time Donkey. Our storyteller Jack must reach the door on each level by using past copies of himself as platforms (and later on, vice-versa).
Some of the puzzles are pretty fantastic and require a great deal of concentration and logic to figure them out. There are lever-pulling puzzles which appear to be inspired by Braid, force-fields which only your copies can walk through and many gaps to fall down. Towards the end of the game a few of the puzzles which involve precision timing are a little frustrating, but there's nothing too hair-wrenching.
The story is also nicely thought out and again appears to take a little inspiration from Jon Blow's masterpiece.
4. Small Worlds (David Shute) [Flash, freeware]
Small Worlds is a 2D exploration game created by David Shute, where the controls for your character can be a bit frustrating at times but everything else about the effort shines through. Even if you take all the wrong paths, this adventure is still a rather short one that will only take roughly about fifteen minutes of your time to complete.
3. Don't Look Back (Terry Cavanagh) [Flash, freeware]
Don't Look Back is a platforming affair that exposes Terry's dark side, plunging the player into hell-like surroundings with the likes of quick-moving snakes and spiders which drop from the ceiling to cope with. As you'd expect, the difficulty initially starts low and ramps itself up bit by bit throughout play. There's even a few boss battles thrown in there to make the package feel complete.
All in all it's great platforming fun that deserves to be played.
2. Time Fcuk (Edmund McMillen and William Good) [Flash, freeware]
Time Fcuk is a platformer that warns about the dangers of time travel, featuring puzzles centered around your character's ability to switch between layers in a level. Your future selves tend to contact you constantly and provide hints, chide you, or even babble incohesively while you attempt to figure out how to get to the portal that teleports you to the next area.
Some stages contain blocks for you to move around and use as platforms to reach higher ground, while other rooms may have moving arrows that reverses gravity when touched. The game comes with a comprehensive level editor that allows users to design and share their own obstacle courses with other players.
1. Super Karoshi (Jesse Venbrux) [Flash, freeware]
Jesse Venbrux is back with the fifth chapter in the popular Karoshi series, and his second Flash browser game to feature everyone's favorite protagonist with the trademark blue suit. In Super Karoshi you not only have to figure out ways to commit suicide but occasionally assist other similarly-looking characters to do the same as well.
Unlike Karoshi Suicide Salaryman, nearly all of the puzzles to be found in this release are original and have never been featured in previous iterations. There are roughly sixty stages to play in total.

.
Following the rejection of the recommendations of the Simon Commission by the Indians, an All-Party Conference was held at Bombay in May 1928 under the president ship of Dr MA Ansari. The Conference appointed a drafting committee under Motilal Nehru to draw up a constitution for India. The Nehru Report was accepted by all sections of Indian society except by a section of Indian Muslims. In December 1928, the Indian National Congress pressed the British Government to accept the Nehru Report in its entirety. The Calcutta Session of the Indian Congress (December 1928) virtually gave an ultimatum to the British Government, that if dominion status were not conceded by December 1929, a countrywide Civil Disobedience Movement would be launched. The British Government, however, declared in May 1929 that India would get dominion status within the Empire very soon. | http://www.indohistory.com/civil_disobedience_movement_by_gandhi.html | 2013-05-18T10:11:58 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |

Brown, James, 1933–2006, African-American rhythm-and-blues singer known as the "godfather of soul," b. Barnwell, S.C., as James Joe Brown, Jr. Abandoned by his parents, he left school in the seventh grade and turned to petty crime. After three years in reform school, Brown joined (1952) the Gospel Starlighters, which soon became the Famous Flames, the group with which he recorded his first hit, Please, Please, Please (1956). With his soulful, gravel-voiced, gospel-inflected singing style and spectacular stage presence—often screaming (on key) and dancing acrobatically—Brown was a true innovator of rhythm and blues and funk, recording such hit singles as I Got You (I Feel Good) (1965), It's a Man's, Man's, Man's World (1966), the Black Pride anthem Say It Loud (1968), and many albums, e.g., Live at the Apollo (1963) and The Payback (1974). He again hit the top of the charts with his Grammy-winning album Living in America (1985). Jailed (1988) on drug and gun charges, he was released in 1991 and resumed an active singing and recording career. Brown's vocal style has had a great influence on musicians from Elvis Presley to Michael Jackson, the Rolling Stones, and hip-hop artists. The recipient of many music awards, in 1986 Brown was one of the original inductees of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Mark Spitz swims for the first of seven gold medals in 1972. (Source: AP)
Perhaps no one athlete put more pressure on himself than American swimmer Mark Spitz. The athlete's bold predictions and cocky disposition made it almost impossible for him to live up to the standards he was setting for himself. Fortunately at the 1972 Olympics in Munich, his incredible talent in the pool turned out to be even bigger than all the hype that surrounded him.
Spitz began swimming at the age of two and as far back as he could remember, he ruled the pool. He held 17 national records (for his age group) at the age of ten.
So all seven, taking.

Neo-Cons Spin Dud Test To Hide Nuclear Hypocrisy
Drudge Report, Washington Times downplay blast to conceal stupidity of attacking Iran, source of North Korean nukes being Rumsfeld and Bush protected networks
Paul Joseph Watson/Prison Planet.com | October 10 2006
Neo-Cons have seized upon doubts about the scale of North Korea's nuclear test to craft a talking point that the blast was a dud in an attempt to conceal the hypocrisy of hyping a war with a non-nuclear Iran in the face of North Korea's open proliferation, and the fact that Kim Jong-il bought his weapons from arms networks that were protected by the Bush administration.
Bill Gertz and the Washington Times, usually the first to spit out volleys of rampant fearmongering, especially concerning Iran's alleged nuclear agenda, are leading a chorus of government media mouthpieces in downplaying Sunday's underground atomic test.
"U.S. intelligence agencies say, based on preliminary indications, that North Korea did not produce its first nuclear blast yesterday," writes Gertz .
"The underground explosion, which Pyongyang dubbed a historic nuclear test, is thought to have been the equivalent of several hundred tons of TNT, far short of the several thousand tons of TNT, or kilotons, that are signs of a nuclear blast, the official said."
The U.S. seems to be alone in its assessment that the blast was non-nuclear - with Russia even claiming the explosion was comparable to the bomb dropped on Hiroshima in 1945.
The Drudge Report, recently scorned for carrying erroneous stories that sought to defend the actions of Republican pervert and sexual predator Mark Foley, this morning carried the headline, "WAS IT A DUD?" underneath a jokey image of Kim Jong-il's character from the comedy animation hit Team America.
The spin is implicit - Kim Jong-il is an inconsequential buffoon and his grandstand announcement that North Korea had joined the nuclear club was nothing but hot air.
Why are these bootlicking Neo-Con hacks, breaking from their usual feverish exaggeration of anything that makes the world more dangerous, changing the script and attempting to poo-poo North Korea's actions?
Yesterday we reported that the wild card of the test could potentially derail planned air strikes on Iran because, as Mike Rivero pointed out, "It will be hard for Bush to sell an invasion of Iran because it might someday make nuclear weapons when North Korea definitely has them now."
The Neo-Con spin, that North Korea has not advanced to the point it claims and that the threat is diminished compared to more pressing targets of the Bush war machine, is intended to shield the hypocrisy of ignoring a nuclear-capable dictatorship that has threatened to destroy the world and fired test missiles that have hit Alaska , while obsessing about Iran, completely surrounded by U.S. client states and as much as fifteen years away from the bomb.
It is also an effort to offset questions about how Kim Jong-il acquired his arsenal in the first place.
Reports concerning developments in North Korea's nuclear program are routinely absent the "memory-holed" fact that it was Donald Rumsfeld , former non-executive director of ABB, that signed off on a $200 million dollar contract to sell nuclear reactors to the Stalinist state in November 2000.
In addition, it has now been confirmed that the A.Q. Khan network was directly connected to the feasibility of Sunday's test, having "through his network, transferred to North Korea "nearly two dozen" P-1 centrifuges, and the more sophisticated P-11 centrifuges," according to the London Independent .
It was at the behest of the Bush administration that investigations into Khan Research Laboratories, the Pakistani agency in charge of the bomb project, were thwarted.
"According to both sources and documents obtained by the BBC, the Bush Administration spike of the investigation of Dr. Khan's Lab followed from a wider policy of protecting key Saudi Arabians including the Bin Laden family," writes BBC reporter Greg Palast .
North Korea's bold entry into the nuclear club could not have been achieved without the help of the Bush administration and Donald Rumsfeld. Allied to the desperate need to legitimize air strikes against Iran, Sunday's events have created a fissure in the Neo-Con agenda that may demand an urgent change to the script.

Germans Torch “Fat Cat” Luxury Cars.

You can teach an old botnet new tricks, and that is helping the older families of malware stick around and proliferate, according to two reports that peer into the world of successful botnets.
Rustock, first detected by antivirus firms about five years ago, leads the pack of spam-sending botnets with about a quarter-million infected systems, according to data from SecureWorks, a network security firm recently acquired by Dell. Part of Rustock's success is due to continued development aimed at making the malware able to survive standard tactics for removing the software, says Joe Stewart, director of malware research for the company. Such tactics are becoming more common, with other bot programs including pay-per-install software that seeds a compromised computer with a host of programs.
"When people suggest that you can go and download a tool to clean any infections, that no longer is effective," Stewart says. "Increasingly, you are usually infected by more than one thing at a time."
The software, which originated as a rootkit, shows signs of being controlled by a single spamming operation, SecureWorks states in the report.
The continued innovation in bot features is nothing new. In 2010, security firm Symantec found that Rustock had started using TLS (Transport Layer Security), a standard protocol for encrypting email messages, to obfuscate spam. Cutwail and Lethic, two other older botnets, round out SecureWorks' list of the top 3 spamming botnets, with Cutwail using custom encryption to send spam and Lethic using a pay-for-install mechanism to install the program.
A two-year-old botnet, known alternatively as TDSS or TDL, tops security firm Damballa's list of software used by the top botnet gangs. TDL is another botnet that uses rootkit techniques to remain resident on victim's PCs, including using the hard drive's master boot record to bootstrap reinstallation. One criminal group has used the TDL botnet to compromise nearly 15 percent of all bot-compromised computers investigated by Damballa in 2010.
While there has been a lot of change in the upper echelons of Damballa's top 10 list, most of the bots are well known, including TDL, Zeus, Koobface, Conficker, and SpyEye, says Gunter Ollmann, vice president of research for Damballa.
"The biggest and baddest botnets became better and achieved much greater market share," Ollman says. "By the end of the year, they have dominated the market."
Unlike SecureWorks, which focuses on detecting bot-infected computers from the spam they send, Damballa focuses on the cybercriminal groups themselves, so their lists differ significantly.
Even with the innovation, there seems to be a maturation in the market, says SecureWorks' Stewart. Most of the recent improvements, while significant, have been minor.
"There is a stagnation in the number of players -- we are seeing the same players over and over again," he says. "With the bots that have been around for a long time, they have evolved less and less every year."

The Sellouts
Get Take Out
Fork In Hand
This is a well-produced, well-written sophomore album. A lot of hardcore songs and harder, thrashing melodies brew in the album, a true sign of maturity. Get Take Out rocks a bit harder than Drop in the Bucket. There's less ska guitar and more emphasis on distortion and horns. The horns really carry the songs well, and their lyrics are smarter and sharper. One flaw I can point out (and that's pretty hard to do, since this is really a good album) is that certain horn lines sound a lot like the Toasters, Big D, and the Bosstones, all of which I am sure are major influences. Aside from that, they have added to their style and sound while retaining the great qualities from their first release, making this an impressive effort.

Best Local Outdoor Expert We Miss The Most - Nick Heil
Nick Heil is a legend around our office, partly because he was able to keep about five people on the phone at the same time (not a bad skill for a journalist), but mostly because he was part of this outfit since the very beginning, back in 1993.
So it was a sad day when he left us -- and newsprint -- for glossier pages and a high profile job as associate editor at Outside magazine in the fall of 1999. Nick wore many hats around the office during the six years he spent with us -- he wrote a lot and he edited a lot as our arts and culture editor -- but above and beyond anything else, he was our resident outdoor expert.
Snowboarding, skiing, mountain biking, hiking and camping -- nothing outdoorsy was foreign to Heil -- and he liked to share tales of his backcountry expeditions with the rest of us -- coworkers and readers alike.
I guess it should come as no surprise then, that he's starting to make his mark at Outside, which featured his brainchild on the cover of its March edition: climbing the Ring of Fire, better known as the four major volcanoes of the Cascade Mountains.
"It was my own idea, somewhat generated from friends, you know, like an awesome glorified vacation," says Heil, on the phone from Outside's offices in Santa Fe, N.M. "This Ring of Fire thing is the best Northwest epic adventure to get attention in a national magazine, and it really is a novel trip for people from other areas of the country."
Nine dudes (another Nick-ism), all editors at Outside, went with him on the self-planned Cascade volcano climb. The grand scheme was to climb up and ski down four Northwest volcanoes in one week. Says Heil about facing the challenge: "I'd say anyone with moderate training and fitness level can do this. You know, but you may need a guide." Moderate fitness level? Super-hero powers is more like it.
"I was sort of the de facto group leader, but I and this other dude were the only ones with bona fide mountaineering experience," says Heil. "I don't mean to make it sound easy, it's a significant technical challenge, but once you get there, it's so incredibly rewarding and beautiful -- it's just awesome."
So off they went, heading up Mt. Rainier as the snow fell and the winds howled. Actually, the weather was so bad they lost two days on that mountain, and I guess, were all kind of shell shocked by the magnitude of not only Mt. Rainier, but also the violence of the winds.
After riding out the storm, then reaching the summit followed by a successful descent, they decided to skip Mt. Hood (not for lack of gumption, but for lack of time) and take on Mt. Adams instead. That done, their last climb was Mount St. Helens -- so they ended up doing 'only' three peaks in a week, instead of the planned four.
"Not too shabby," as he writes in the story. We're ready to agree, after all, they did scale more than 35,000 feet all told. The trip largely went without great disasters.
"It's wild. There are so many logistical things to pull together, and between getting the right gear and food and stuff, there are so many windows for trouble," says Heil. In his Outside article, he lists a couple of things the adventure group should have done, such as bringing along top-of-the-line expedition style tents -- the wind on Mt. Rainier nearly blew the three-season convertible tents they did bring to little pieces.
Blisters were also a problem for everyone in the group, mostly because they failed to break in their ski-mountaineering boots during the three months of training they put in. There's a gory shot of someone's deteriorating heel along with the Outside article.
"What do you do about blisters? Man, you just put a lot of gauze on them and pray they'll get better," says Heil with a hardened laugh.
I ask him how his time at The Inlander and in Spokane prepared him to take on adventures like this, and Heil laughs a little at the cheesy question. "I don't know, man. I got to live in the Northwest and see the mountains there -- people from other parts of the country just don't know about them. My time in the Northwest was very special," he says. "When you live in the Northwest, you just take all of this for granted. You have access to so many amazing things -- there is so much to do, if only people would get out and do it."
The most rewarding part of the Ring of Fire adventure came toward the end of the trip. "You can get skunked, you know, sit in a tent for days and days, but we had done it in great style," says Heil. "I enjoy the feeling when you are just done with the last big physical thing, and your body is still tingling with the effort, yet you're beginning to think of how to return back to your workaday life. You feel so expanded, and it's awesome -- it's very tangible."

K2 & Hyper Girls Inline Skates
Girls Skates Overview
When it comes to sports, it can seem like a male dominated world out there. But that’s what’s great about inline skating, it’s a sport all ages and genders can enjoy. So be sure to browse through our selection of girls skates to find the right pair for your little girl. Here at inlineskates.com, we know the finding the right fit in a skate can be difficult for a growing girl, but with a little extra information the task won’t be as daunting.
If your little girl is growing at a very fast rate, it might be best to check out a pair of adjustable girls skates. Adjustable skates can adjust to fit up to four sizes. To find the right one, try finding a pair that start at where your girls foot size is now. For instance, if your childs foot is a size 11, try picking a pair of girls skates that start at that size, like a size 11-1 and so on. Otherwise, be sure to stick fairly true to size in terms of shoe size versus skate size. It may seem tempting to go up a couple sizes and let your kid grow into their skates, but a skate that is too big will be hard to maneuver and your little girl may lose interest before she even grows into the skate.
Different girls skates will offer different lacing systems. Traditional laces are just like laces on a shoe but these skates typically have a strap or buckle as well for extra security and stability. A newer closure system is the BOA system. This system uses a knob of sorts that you can turn to tighten or loosen the skates fit. The perks of the BOA system is that they are much easier to get on and off. Similar to the BOA system is the speedlace system. These skates have a pull tab on them that you simply pull tighter or loosen to adjust the fit of the skate.
Another feature you want to check out before you select a pair of girls skates are the wheels. Most inline skate wheels are made from polyurethane to avoid cracking and breaking, unlike their previous models that were made from plastic. Typically, wheels vary in size ranging from 70 to 79 mm. Keep in mind that the bigger the wheels, the faster they go, so it is ill advised that you get bigger wheels for beginners.
Now that you know a bit about girls skates it’s time to check out our selection here at inlinskates.net and find the right pair for your little girl. Then get out there skating! Don't forget about our Guaranteed Fit Program too.

K2 Bags
Styles of Inline Skating Bags
Carrying inline skates can be bothersome and awkward but luckily there are several different types of inline skate bags to combat this. With several options from hard case carriers and easy to sling over your shoulder skate carrying backpacks there is no reason to ever awkwardly carry your skates around ever again. Let’s talk about some of the various styles of bags and what to expect.
Standard Skate Bags
These are the triangle shaped skate bags that are designed to be fairly basic and carry your inline skates easily. These inline skate bags don’t offer too much extra room but will often have enough room for a set of pads and helmet. Standard bags will offer a handling and carrying strap and in some models you will have a sling strap or backpack style straps to also carry.
Backpack Style Skate Bags
There is no easier way to carry your inline skates than with a backpack style skate bag. These bags are not only some of the easiest bags to use but they will also award extra room for supplies. Skate backpacks will have thicker more padded straps and will offer more protection while carrying a heavier than normal load. This style of inline skate bag offers a middle of the road price range but is overall the most effective in carrying skates and additional pieces of equipment.
Rolling Style Skate Bags
For those that take their skates everywhere with them rolling style bags offer the easiest to use and definitely easiest to take with you style of bag. With additional room for anything from pads and helmets to additional clothes and toiletries this style of skate bag really caters to the hardcore skater.
Hard Case Skate Bags
These are few and far between but if you want to fully protect your inline skates than getting a hard case for them may be a viable option. Not used by many this style of inline skate bags is actually not a bag at all but more of an inline skate briefcase.
As you now know there are more to inline skate bags than meets the eye. With so many choices and styles of skate bags to choose from it’s good that Inlineskates.com offers so many choices. From the beginner skater to hardcore skate enthusiast you are sure to find something to carry your goods here.

Reebok & K2 Wheel & Bearing Kits
Why to Choose a Wheel and Bearing Kit
If your wheels and bearings wear out over time, no need to buy a whole new set of inline skates, try picking up a wheel and bearing kit. The most convenient part of buying a wheel and bearing kit over wheels and bearings separate is that the bearings come pre installed in the wheel, saving you the hassle of putting them together. When considering which wheel and bearing kit to purchase, make sure you account for the size, hardness and shape of the wheel. Smaller wheels provide more agility and control while larger wheels are meant for speed. The type of inline skating you do will have a large impact on which wheel and bearing kit you should select. To check out more about inline skate wheels check out our buying guide here.
One of the components of wheel and bearing kits are obviously the wheels. Wheels should be selected based on a few components, one of which being their durometer or hardness. The durometer of your wheels will vary on what kind of grip you want, what weather you are riding in, what kind of wear your wheels will be getting and your body weight. Be sure that the wheels in your wheel and bearing kit will meet your needs as an inline skater.
Now when you are considering which bearing will be right for your skating needs when you select a wheel and bearing kit, it is important to know what size bearing your skates will accommodate. Inline skate bearings use a rating system called ABEC that runs from 1-9. The higher the bearing number, the better the performance of the bearing. With wheel and bearing kits, the ABEC rating of the bearing will correspond with the wheel size for maximum performance. To find out more about wheel bearings check out our buying guide here.
Once you have selected which of our wheel and bearing kits meets your needs, be sure to use proper maintenance methods and check them regularly. Exposure to dirt and water will slow down your skating and make the whole experience much less enjoyable, prompting you to need a new wheel and bearing kit. To check and see if you’re bearings need maintenance or to be replaced, spin your wheels and see if the continue spinning for a bit after you stop, if you hear metal rubbing on metal, you make want to replace them.
With wheel and bearing kits, everything is already done for you, all you need to do is pop off your old wheels with their bearing and pop on the new ones. So save yourself the time and pick up an inline skate wheel and bearing kit today!
