The Weather In October

London has a temperate climate, with regular but generally light precipitation throughout the year. Summer temperatures rarely rise much above 33 °C, though higher temperatures have become more common recently. The highest temperature ever recorded in London was 38.1 degrees C, measured. Heavy snowfalls are almost unknown. In recent winters, snow has generally only settled once or twice and it is rarely more than an inch or so.London's large built-up area creates a microclimate (an "urban heat island"), with heat stored by the city's buildings. Sometimes temperatures are 5 °C warmer in the city than in the surrounding areas.
London’s weather is unpredictable, which explains why it is a favourite topic of conversation for the British.The city’s temperature is generally mild, but may drop below freezing point for brief periods during the winter. November through February are characterized by cold weather and short days and March to October days are longer but it can still be cold. The best months to visit London is in the months of April to September when it is comparitively drier.Peak tourist season is in the months of July and August when the temperature averages under 20 degrees Celsius. A typical British man always
carries his umbrella as an insurance against the weather.
October is a month in between the winter months and the summer months.It would usually have the sun and clouds in a mixed manner.It could be sunny in the morning but the evening could be cloudy with light rain.The chances of rain is always 60%.But this is a lovely month to be in London…its special because things are changing from summer to winter so are the clothes and all things in stores. In fact this is the month to shop since all sales will be on and don’t forget to have a Tea break in between in a restaurant
But the British always have a special feeling for October. It is the waiting period for winter and it’s the time for sales. Everything changes for winter fashions and summer clothes etc are on heavy discount. In fact it just not on clothes but it’s a frenzy sale time and local people usually do their yearly shopping in October. They wait for this sale time to get the best bargains. You will never realise how tiring it is to go shopping unless you do it once. It can poop you out and then you can take a break in a restaurant while you pause after a session of shopping. Actually if you like to shop this is the best period for you to visit London.

Motorola Rises After Saying It May Drop Mobile Phones

Feb. 1 (Bloomberg) -- Motorola Inc., which has lost mobile- phone market share to all of its major rivals, rose the most in almost four years in New York trading after saying it may bow to shareholder pressure and shed its money-losing handset unit.
Chief Executive Officer Greg Brown said yesterday that the Schaumburg, Illinois-based company is exploring its options, including a possible separation of its mobile-devices business.
The announcement pleased investors including billionaire Carl Icahn, who have demanded that the company dispose of the unit. The business, which accounts for about half of Motorola's revenue, lost $388 million last quarter as customers defected to phones from Samsung Electronics Co. and Apple Inc.
``Enough people, from Carl Icahn to many others, have suggested that this is the best thing for Motorola to do,'' said Mark Mowrey, a Laguna Beach, California-based analyst at Al Frank Asset Management, which owns Motorola shares. ``I hope it's not a reaction from the executive side to a lot of the near-term sentiment the company is hearing from investors.''
Motorola jumped $1.11, or 9.7 percent, to $12.61 at 3:31 p.m. in New York Stock Exchange composite trading, the most since April 2004, after rising 13 percent to $12.97 earlier. The stock had fallen 42 percent in the past year before today.
Citigroup Inc. upgraded the shares to ``buy'' from ``hold'' after the announcement.
Motorola's phone shipments plunged 38 percent last quarter after it lost customers to Apple's iPhone and camera phones from Samsung. That brought Motorola closer to losing its spot as the third-largest handset maker in the world.

Global Warming (fryed to death),
Possible Nuclear war (thats what i think),
The Recession,
Possible Civil War over money,
Found this on wikipedia:
On the sun, the solar maximum of Solar Cycle 24 in the 11-year sunspot cycle is forecast to occur. Solar Cycle 24 is regarded to have commenced January 2008, and on average will reach its peak of maximal sunspot activity around 2012. The period between successive solar maxima averages 11 years (the Schwabe cycle), and the previous solar maximum of Solar Cycle 23 occurred in 2000–2002.[10] During the solar maximum the sun's magnetic poles will reverse.[11]
Well "The Future's Bright"!
NOT
Any Comments? Why do so many thing end or begin in 2012? Oh and the Kyoto Protocol ends 2012
Lol, you really believe everything you read on the internet?

Uh... The magnetic poles wouldn't switch overnight... It would take some time for that to happen, even if that occured. A geomagnetic reversal is a cycle. They've switched about 60 times during the last 65 million years. The latter few million years of the Cretaceous and the first couple of million years of the Paleocene both occurred during one slice of "reversed" polarity known to its fans as chron 29R. ("Reversed" means the polarity then was to the south.) The subsequent average between reversals has been a bit over a million years.

Sorry Orb. I wasn't thinking last night.
look at the old legends, and prophecies... the world is at its worst it's been at so far. Wars and conflicts all over we barely hear about, the air, water and land are all polluted, the stocks are at their lowest, and there is so much hate. I'm not saying that there is no love or beauty left in the world, but it is being diminished
If anything does happen like nuclear war or World war 3 that it will begin around 2012 and by 2017 the world will be a whole different place then what it is today.
As Orb pointed out:
there already is a thread for this "argument"..

Release Date

Any info on a release date?
Luke
Second Quarter of 2011 is the official release period. Any other release date(s) other than from Motorola or Verizon Wireless are just rumors and speculations.

Luke

According to Black Man X, the release is after Passover, which this year is April 19-25.

But if it’s another device you seek to reach your Peak, then you may yet have several weeks.
For in the LiTE a new device shall shine, and perhaps that is fine if dual cores you don’t mind…

But its calmness we shall seek,
And shy away from the Hype-beast
One of the popular rumored release date is April 21st.
Update on Release Dates
Came across this news leak that just hit about an hour or so ago. Not sure about the reliability but Phandroid has been pretty good with news in the past. Thoughts?
www [dot] gizmocrunch [dot] com/mobile/6167-verizon-release-motorola-droid-bionic-x2-incredible-galaxy
I have called Wireless Advocates, 1-888-369-5931 (Costco's Wireless partner). Got the contact information from mynassda on the Droid forum.
Their computer shows that the Bionic will be in Costco stores on May 12th.
http://www.wirelessadvocates.com/_aboutus/aboutus.htm
"Wireless Advocates, LLC. is the exclusive third-party provider of wireless and related products and services in Costco warehouses nationwide. Operating more than 400 stores between Alaska and Puerto Rico, we leverage our experience to create a preferred destination for products people want."
This does confirm the latest leak of a May date.
June 9th is the leaked date. Same day has iphone 5.
Used my fascinating voodoo powers
The "leaked date" of June 9th is clearly an April fools prank. Read the leaked document - iPhone 5 options include 16 or 32 geebez, the bottom of the document recommends CSRs fast track sales for customers by stereotyping them, and characteristics to look for include tightness of their clothes, size of their european shoulder bag, thickness of glass rims, and continued insistence on having a phone with a white bag.

My contract ends around April 25th. Hopefully its out or coming out by then. i'm excited!

I dont have the link, but do a google on upcoming phones for verizon. The first link that pops up mentions that date. These guys àre a credible source and have been for awhile.
Used my fascinating voodoo powers
Is that story about it being on Amazon Wireless for a few hours for $149 true? Will that be the price with new service / 2yr contact?
It's pissing me off, I want a new phone but if I get the Thundderbolt for $199 now and the Bionic comes out in June for $149, or $200, or even $250... I will be really pissed!!!
my upgrade has been available since Nov 2010...but i've been waiting for this phone...i will conintue to wait...
my fascinate will hold me up till then...
Some bad rumors floating around the net
There are rumors that started yesterday stating the Bionic may be cancelled. Even BlackmanX does not know the current state of things.
Quote from Android Central from BlackmanX
http://forum.androidcentral.com/motorola-droid-bionic/53609-release-date-22.html
Long day is over... I think I understand where this cancelled news is coming from. still cant believe that verizon would be so... misguided, but alot lately has shocked me. I have to confirm with some moto people and some folks on my side.
If so.. guess some folks get collector items to go with their Merge devices... lol
will update accordingly.

Hopefully, this is a retooled release of the Targa as the Bionic.
I would have expected MMI to drop after the announcement hit the news today. Oddly enough the stock came back up for a positive close for the day.

European Championships 2012

Can't see a thread on this, draw was made earlier and true to form Ireland get one of the toughest groups especially world champions Spain, both Italy and Croatia are quality on their day and we'll be massive underdogs going into this but we might surprise a few people.
England got a handy group but getting to Ukraine will be a logistical nightmare for their fans, Poland wont be quite as bad for us although looks like we'll be taking the long route as the price of flights is insane.
Group A

22 overpaid pansies/big-girls blouses, running around kicking a leather ball filled with air and playing 'who can fall over the most in 90 minutes'.
I can't wait
Lol @Dirk
Maybe this time Poland will get to the round of 16s (Yes, I am from Poland, and yes, I dislike the Polish national team)
And flights from Dublin to Poland arent that expensive. Lat time I flew AerLingus (had a transfer in Dublin[yes, I did drink the GUinness there, so much better] and the flight was pretty cheap for the summer) and also you have Ryan Air which is basically the price of the change you can find in your couch.

Generally they are not too bad however the airlines in particular Ryanair who i hate have quadrupled prices cashing on so it looks like we'll be on a coach and getting ferries and taking the long route, probably better craic that way, im looking forward to going to Gdansk i hear it's a wonderful city.
