The good: Media streamer/server with 1TB of file storage built in; supports up to 1080p video playback; nice onscreen interface; streams a variety of Internet video and audio services, including Netflix, YouTube, and Pandora, via Ethernet connection; attractive onscreen interface; good HD video quality on channels and programming that support it; supports a wide variety of video codecs; two USB ports for connecting devices and storage drives; acts as a networked drive that's capable of streaming content to PCs (or game consoles) on your home network.
The bad: No built-in wireless; ever cheaper Blu-ray players offer many of the same Internet-viewing and home streaming options plus disc playback; most advanced options will require an expert user to fully exploit.

Plays almost every type of of video file .
by DKDavis52a on November 17, 2011
Pros: Reasonably easy to get media onto the hard drive and play from there.Good variety of connections (lack of wireless is overhyped issue - get a Powerline network kit).Plays every file type I've sent to it and in all types of containers (ISO, MKV, M2TS)
Cons: 1. Documentation is horrid - except for making connections.
2. Fast forward/reverse/skip to specific time are klunky, don't actually work a significant portion of the time, and frequently result in videos restarting or skipping to the next video.

Summary: I am a fairly experienced user. I have used several Archos devices, Boxee Box, Apple TV, Roku, Lacie (which was my favorite) and now the Live Hub.
Currently, the Live Hub is my favorite, but there is certainly room for improvement.
First, the good. I have not found a video format that is incompatible (I do not use MOV). They all play. Every container I use (M2TS, ISO, MKV) works just fine.
I have not had any problem with the quality of video files playing either - including 1080p encoded in h.264 with AC-3 audio.
I use a Harmony One remote, which controls the basic functions okay, but there are some specific buttons I've had to reprogram.
If you just want a device which is easy to attach to your computer as well as your TV, will play back a wide variety of media files - and do this very well, and especially if you want an internal hard drive...I've tried most of them and this is the best.
Netfilx playback is as good as it is through my HTPC - which is to say it is only limited by my slow DSL connection.
Now for the bad.
Attaching the device and getting media onto the Hub is relatively easy - though I had to get some of the management software off the internet (I don't know why it was not included on the Hub - it has a hard drive for goodness sake). And, I did not even know I needed the software until the hub, though recognized by my network could not actually be used. I went to a few online forums until I found a link to the right place at the WD site (I had gone there initially and searched for "Live Hub" but found nothing). Once the software was running, moving media to the device was easy.
When you boot it up you get this screen with several containers "Photos, Videos, Music, Settings", etc. One of these is "Folders"...clicking on that keeps giving me an error message that "No files are found." Since the documentation is so poor I have never found out what this Folder does, but not using it does not seem to affect the primary function of the Hub (nothing about this on the WD website, even the huge PDF you can download - which I found to be so poorly indexed it was worthless).
There is also no docuemntation to tell you how to get media off your network. Under settings you can tell the device to use the network, but though I have several terabytes of music, photos, and video on the hardwired network, it never has actually provided me a way to access this.
For purposes of seeing how well the Hub works I made digital back-ups of several DVD's I own including Blu-Rays (I do not encourage piracy...so any copies I make would of course be temporary and for educational purposes only). I put these copies on the hard drive and allowed the Hub to create a media library. It came up with a list of movies - but none of the metadata (which I had included with the movies) appeared ... not even the cover art which I had included in the folders.
I found out that the Hub requires that the video file, the folder, and the jpg of the cover have to have exactly the same name. All of mine had slight variations in the names, so I needed to fix this (there is apparently an individual who has created a program which automates some of the work, but I have not tried his program). So, I did all this renaming by hand. And, despite my making sure that all the names are exactly the same, the Hub sill is only able to find the covers for about half of my movies. I have looked at this repeatedly and know that there is no difference between the movies/folders where the Hub finds the cover art and displays it and the movies/folders wher the Hub does not. (By the way I did this manually through a networked computer - there may be a way to get cover art into the right place through the Hub, but I have not found it).
For metatdata (movie length, synopsis, actors, ratings, etc.) I already had info from IMDB for every movie. Though this was in an XML file, with the correct name, included in the correct folder, the Hub would not recognize it. So, I had to, one by one, go to the movie in the Hub interface, tell the Hub to search it's database (by the way, no documentation on how this is done anywhere - I just kept pushing buttons unil I got a message asking if I wanted to get content info), and then select the appropriate movie from the database. The Hub would then have the metadata, but will only display this in a specific view (called "Gallery") and even then - though the data was obtained through the Hub - about 50% of the time no information is displayed...And in the "Gallery" view, the cover art is almost never displayed.
Okay, no metadata and no cover art is fine - none of the other devices I used was very good at this either (except Apple TV, but it is proprietary and play limited file types) - I can play files if the name is listed...which the Hub does do.
The fast forward and rewind buttons (as well as the "skip to a certain time" function) do not do what you wish. Sometimes the fastforward will do just that, sometimes it will skip, sometimes it will skip to the next file. Most of the time the rewind button skips back and frequently it skips all the way back to the begining of the file. I have only tried to use the "Skip to a certain time" function a couple of times because...well...it doesn't do that. You input a time, and most of the time nothing happens. Sometimes, it restarts the file.
I really do like the Hub. I am hoping that future firware updates address these issues and provide a more intuitive interface. Also, WD would do consumers a big favor if they would just have someone who has actually used the device sit with the people who designed it and write a coherent, well indexed user manual.

Extremely flexible, but totally unusable
by petemcc on December 21, 2011
Pros: Can play most audio and video file formats
Cons: A lack of detailed documentation and a confusing interface, compounded by software bugs, makes this unit basically unusable for me. Examples, files don't show up on system and I have yet to get file sharing to work with Windows 7.

Summary: This unit offers a lot, but without detailed documentation it is very difficult to configure and use, you will rely a lot on online support forums, where the data is often unreliable.
I have not been able to get file sharing to work with Windows 7, and syncing is somewhat of a mystery. I moved to the WD from an Apple TV which had a very simple, easy to use interface, but the WD suffers from usability issues. I used the Apple TV all of the time (despite it's limitations) but find that I just don't use the WD ... every time I do there seems to be a new issue to debug.
The interface to scroll through music is pathetically slow, and the Media Library is nowhere near as useful as it sounds.
There are so many quirks that you will find, you cannot setup a photo screensaver from a hierarchical folder system, the screensaver picks up all the album artwork as photos, not all the menu options from DVDs are available.
I have a solid background in home theater and computing, anyone who doesn't should absolutely avoid this unit.

Summary: Using this device for the last 3 years. The device delivers what it's supposed to. The major issue is that it randomly destroys the filesystem of any USB hard-disk attached to it. This problem exists since more than one year and is already faced by many users. Not solved yet even not solved yet via any patches or upgrades. Already lost many family photo albums until I realize what was happening. If you search in the net you will find only a small utility done by an independent programmer to help you fix these errors one by one, after they appear.
Terrible interface

Pros: Compact
Can play DVD ISOs with menues - sometimes!
Cons: Often: "Format not supported" even though it played it yesterday.
Really really bad user interface
Compiling media library 24/7.
Doesn't group movies on genre or anyting.
Doesn't show movie title - only file name. Have to browse through the folders.

Summary: On first buying this it was quite buggy and froze often, firmware updates have changed this and fixed many of the problems such as re-scanning for hours after reboot, it now runs smoothly. It is a great device for streaming media and it has built in HD and also RCA outputs, I use both at the same time for my multi room hook up, but for those without multi room you could hook it up to a single TV that has either HD or RCA and still stream to all your laptops and computers.
capabilities are very nice
by martinvirtual on February 28, 2012
Pros: I love the ease of a network hard drive for business data and able to have many functions to load to the tv like music server and movie and picture playback.
Cons: take forever to load content into the program on the tv side still awaiting for it is scan hours later witch makes all other onscreen movements a nightmare.WHATS TAKING SO LONG! show me my data hoping it will work better after the crappy scan's done
Summary: if I can get past the no data found i will love it wish it had built in wifi

Summary: Not sure why everyone else has so many issues. this is a great product. I connect 2 other computers, a dlna tv and a motorola xoom and they all can stream movies and tv shows flawlessly. It can take awhile to snyc from a hard drive if you have alot of files on it but that is understandable. I love that it will find the album/movie pictures and information for the movies and music. Makes it great when searching for a movie to watch.
Don't buy.

The reactions have been pretty negative. A user at Cross-X.com remarked: "Bleh, boring."
Various students from my high school seniors lab posted remarks saying how glad they were to graduate and avoid this topic.
While I understand this sentiment, I think it's WAY off.
Consider the idea of a Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) tax. Sounds pretty boring at first, right? (I used to think something like "Cars...taxes...highways...can someone please talk about foreign policy?!")
When this proposal was debated in the Financing Commission it was anything but boring.
Read more: http://www.politico....l#ixzz1c6uee7Ap"The Financing Commission recommended a number of solutions, but the most talked-about was an eventual shift to a VMT tax to measure and charge for road use. Under the system, GPS devices would track how many miles, and on what roads, cars drive. Drivers would then pay per-mile fees, with the possibility of adjustments for vehicle weight, fuel efficiency and road type."
I don't think it takes much to show why this could be very interesting to debaters, too.
-- K debaters should be salivating (government GPS follows your car everywhere, collects the data AND charges you...does that link to something?)
-- Neat PIC ground (Different per-mile fees, adjustments for fuel efficiency, etc.)
-- Politics -- issues like infrastructure bank, VMT, gas tax, etc. are enormously politically controversial
-- Meaingful T debates -- do Affs which alter revenue collection with the *goal* of increasing investment (tax affs like VMT, gas tax, etc.) actually *increase investment*? I haven't heard the words "effects topicality" in years.
This trend isn't limited to VMT. There are lots of experts on each side writing about those details in infrastructure/transport. If you've ever asked yourself "what happened to high tech policy strategies?" this seems like the topic for you.
The interns here at the NCPA have done FANTASTIC work on key issues like infrastructure (http://www.ncpa.org/pub/ba760) and the gas tax (http://www.ncpa.org/pub/ba761).

Eric H. Holbrook, M.D.
Assistant Professor of Otology and Laryngology, Harvard Medical School
The overall goal of our research is to understand the pathophysiology of olfactory disorders in humans and attempt to alter mechanisms of olfactory neurogenesis that have been identified in rodents. Models of olfactory epithelial damage using methyl bromide gas exposure and olfactory nerve transection in mice allow us to observe the regeneration of olfactory neurons. Exposure of olfactory receptors located on the cilia of these neurons to specific odors allow for enhanced survival and axonal targeting to the olfactory bulb during development, however it is unclear if this activity dependent survival and targeting occurs during regeneration after lesioning. Using naris occlusion and odorant exposure after insult to the olfactory system, we are looking at the effects of odorant induced neuronal activity on the selective enhancement in numbers and targeting of specific olfactory neurons. In addition to animal studies, we are looking at the overall distribution of olfactory mucosa in human autopsy specimens. In conjunction with Dr. James Schwob at Tufts University School of Medicine, immunohistochemical analysis and molecular analysis of this tissue are being performed to compare with what is already known in the rodent system. Changes in immunohistochemical as well as molecular expression of the stem and neuronal progenitor cells in patients with known olfactory disorders will be compared to expression patterns in rodent undergoing regeneration of olfactory epithelium in response to epithelial lesioning. In this way, we are translating the abundance of information known about the olfactory system in lower mammals to the human system in attempts to identify the pathophysiology behind the most common forms of olfactory loss: upper respiratory tract infection, head trauma, aging, and chronic rhinosinusitis.

Updated, 12/30/13, 4:23 p.m.
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Two teens were shot late Sunday night outside a nightclub in the Brooklyn neighborhood, near Downtown.
Patrons of Da Tunnel club in the 300 block of Park Street were leaving the nightclub around 11:20 p.m., when multiple shots were fired outside in the back parking lot, according to Jacksonville Sheriff's Office homicide Sgt. Michael Paul.
Two teens, 18-year-old Darrell Rutledge and a 16-year-old were struck by the gunfire. The 16-year-old victim was taken to UF Health Jacksonville by a friend in life-threatening condition and went into surgery. Rutledge was transported by Jacksonville Fire and Rescue to UF Health Jacksonville after being struck in the arm or leg and is in stable condition.
A blue 2007 Chevrolet HHR and a gray 2003 Dodge Dakota were also struck by the unknown shooter.
According to Sgt. Paul JSO is interviewing witnesses, but JSO does not have any leads or suspects at this time.
Da Tunnel Club hosts a teen night on Sundays according to Sgt. Paul. Two teens were shot outside the same club in Nov. and at the time of the incident police believed the incident could have been gang related.
After Sunday's shooting, teens in the parking lot rushed back inside. Da Tunnel Club owner Jerome Jordan said his club serves food during the day and is sometimes rented out for parties. He said he will never again rent out his club for a teen gathering.
Anyone who has any information about this incident is asked to contact the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office at 904-630-0500.
To remain anonymous and receive a possible reward up to $3,000, contact Crime Stoppers at 1-866-845-TIPS.

Today, most of the camera makers and distributors are vying for being on the niche of the being the most efficient camera makers. One of the most efficient ways on making their dreams to become a certain reality is through rendering superlative camera system specifications. However, due to the intense market competition, most of the camera developments are overlapping each other. That is there is a continuous development cycle in the cameras today. Among all the highly developed cameras today, there is one camera that had caused international panic and it is none other than the Daguerreotype camera which is discovered inside a dusty attic. Daguerreotype camera is wooden sliding box type of camera which was produced during the year 1839 by the Paris Company Susse Freres. It was discovered as a part of Germany's inheritance. This antique camera will serve as the access for photography enthusiasts in rewriting the history. On May 26, Westlicht which is a private photo gallery and auction house Vienna plans to auction this memorabilia. This camera is believed as the globe's oldest commercially created wooden camera. The said camera has not yet been restored according to Westlicht. The Daguerreotype camera belongs to a certain US-based scholar which had been inherited from his father. His father was believed to be a technical photography professor at the Munich University. The wooden sliding box camera was invented by certain French chemist Lois Daguerre. The Daguerreotype camera is an early model of photograph. This camera is able to produce a direct image on a fully furnished silver surface which bears a coating a of silver halide particles. The said photograph is deposited with iodine bromide and or by chlorine vapors. On the early days, there was no copies of pictures so it only means that each and every pictures before are made originally. This fact is totally a great difference today where most of the pictures are recopied. The technical specifications of the Daguerreotype camera are as follows: • No carrying case • No battery camera • No information on GPS EXIF • No Noise reduction • No Image stabilization • No Image stabilization • No Red-eye reduction • No image Autofocus • No Zoom • 1 Lens cap • 1 Free top hat with every camera sold (probably) • 1 Black curtain • 1 Tripod • 1 gazillion Megapixels
The digital camera is a device that automatically and digitally stores images into a thin chip which is the memory card. Images which are taken can be directly downloaded and uploaded vice-versa. This can be manipulated with certain graphics program and then printed out quickly. Film photographs are unlike digitally taken ones as to the fact that film photographs have infinite resolutions. Digital photographs are limited as the free space in the memory card affects the storage of taken images and videos. Also, the optical resolution and digital mechanism of the digital cameras do affect the final output of the pictures and as well as the final resolution of the output device contributes to the quality of the photograph. Even the most expensive and efficient digital cameras which are connected to top ranked printers is not able to produce high-quality photos. If you try to use laser printers, it is not necessary to take real images or photos as the final output and resolution of your photographs still depend on the requirement settings of the printer. Laser printers require you to reduce the resolution of your images according to the settings of the stated camera. The great advantage of using digital cameras is the fact that taking and producing pictures is both very cheap and quick due to the reason that film processing is not included in the process. Today, one of the highest achiever in the field of digital photography is the Kodak. Kodak is one of today's largest film producers all over the globe. The Kodak Company created and designed the Kodak Photo CD Format. This kind of format had become the basis or the de facto standards for saving digital images. Most of the usual digital cameras today uses CCD's to picture images and scenes. Also, some of the newer and less expensive cameras use CMOS chips instead of the CCD's. Moreover, digital cameras or digicam is a modern-day type of camera which takes still images or videos in an automatic and digital manner and then stores and or records the images or videos though an electronic image sensor.

Haunted Half Marathon set Saturday in Kingsport
The streets of Kingsport will be haunted Saturday by runners in the Fourth Annual Haunted Half Marathon and Boo to Brew 4-Person Relay.
The race has grown into one of the most popular and unique races in the region, and the largest half marathon in Northeast Tennessee and Southwest Virginia. The 2011 race drew almost 1,000 spooky participants, many dressed in full Halloween costume.
The Haunted Half start and finish and all race activities will be held near the new Farmers Market. With its Halloween theme, flat double-loop course and post-race party atmosphere, the Haunted Half has become a favorite of both beginners and experienced half marathoners.
The Boo to Brew 4-Person Relay draws about 100 teams with four runners splitting up the 13.1 mile distance, with each team member handing off a wristband from one team member to the next.
The Haunted Half Marathon has partnered with Kingsport Urology Group to raise awareness for prostate cancer, and is professionally managed by We Run Events.
The marathon is sandwiched between the Food City's kid's costume contest earlier in the day and the Rockin' The Hallows Festival in the evening for a full day of running, music, food and fun.
The Haunted Half Marathon will begin at 3 p.m.

White coat oath: Chanan Lerer, a member of the inaugural class of Rutgers School of Dental Medicine, pledges to uphold the integrity of the dental profession during an Aug. 28 white coat ceremony at the Newark, N.J., Rutgers Biomedical Health Sciences campus. Mr. Lerer and 90 other members of the class of 2017 signed the Rutgers School of Dental Medicine Code of Professional Conduct and Ethics after being cloaked by the presidents of each of the RSDM current classes. Twenty-five students from RSDM's Internationally Trained Dentist program and members of the Class of 2015 joined the inaugural class in making the pledge. The white coat ceremony was the first since the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey-New Jersey Dental School became Rutgers School of Dental Medicine.

So I've been trying to install Leopard (iATKOS and Kalyway) onto my laptop's HD and it just won't get to the install screen. It'll boot from DVD, do the Darwin load thing, flash the grey Apple load screen with the spinning grey circle thing in the center and reboot, either that or it stays stuck on that load screen forever with no disk/DVD activity.
It's starting to get highly frustrating, any advice?

Ghouls and Ghosts Galore, 158 Million People to Celebrate Halloween This Year, According to NRF
Washington, September 23, 2013 Cooler fall weather may bring cooler sales this Halloween, as fewer Americans plan to celebrate the spooktacular holiday. According to NRFs Halloween Spending Survey conducted by Prosper Insights & Analytics, nearly 158 million consumers will participate in Halloween activities, slightly less than the survey high of 170 million people last year. Those celebrating will also trim their budgets, with the average celebrant expected to spend $75.03 on décor, costumes, candy and fun, down from $79.82 last year. Overall, average spending on Halloween has increased 54.7 percent since 2005, with total spending estimated to reach $6.9 billion in 2013.*
Still one of the most beloved and anticipated consumer holidays, Halloween will be far from a bust this year, said NRF President and CEO Matthew Shay. After a long summer, the arrival of fall will put millions of Americans in the spirit to partake in traditional and festive activities. Retailers recognize that when it comes to Halloween, consumers creativity abounds. We expect retailers to stock their shelves with unique costume ideas for adults, children and pets, a variety of candy options and never-seen-before home and yard decor.
One of the most cherished parts of the consumer holiday dressing in costume will once again be popular with celebrants. According to the survey, 43.6 percent of people plan to dress up and will spend a total of $2.6 billion on traditional and awe-inspiring costumes. Specifically, consumers will shell out $1.04 billion on childrens costumes, and $1.22 billion on adult costumes.
When it comes to pets, 13.8 percent of those celebrating will take the extra time to find the perfect costume for their favorite four-legged friend, and will spend approximately $330 million.
Additionally, celebrants will spend $2.08 billion on candy and $360 million on greeting cards. Second only to Christmas in terms of spending on decorations, Americans will spend $1.96 billion on life-size skeletons, fake cob webs, mantle pieces and other festive decorations.
For the first time, NRF asked when people will begin shopping for Halloween. According to the survey, nearly one-third (32.8%) begin shopping before September 30. An additional 67.2 percent of consumers will shop in October. Specifically, 43.6 percent will begin the first two weeks in October and 23.6 percent will wait until the final two weeks of the month.
When it comes to inspiration for costume ideas, one-third (32.9%) will search for costume ideas online, another third (32.8%) will look for new ideas in a store, and one-fifth (20.8%) will seek advice from friends or family. Additionally, 14.1 percent will check Facebook for inspiration and 3.8 percent will review blogs.
Nearly one in 10 (9.3%) will scour the visually-appealing Pinterest for costume ideas, up from 7.1 percent last year. Of those buying or making costumes, the average person will spend $27.85 similar to the $28.65 spent last year.
There are a variety of ways Americans will celebrate this year, with handing out candy being the most popular (72.0%). Others will carve a pumpkin (44.2%), visit a haunted house (20.3%), take their child trick-or-treating (31.7%) and decorate their home and/or yard (47.5%). Three in 10 (30.9%) will make the most of the holiday by attending or hosting a party.
Despite the anticipation of the popular fall event, one-fourth of U.S. consumers (25.2%) say the state of the economy will impact their Halloween spending plans nearly nine in 10 (86.1%) will spend less overall, up slightly from 83.5 percent last year. Additionally, 32.7% will buy less candy and 18.1% will make a costume instead of buying one.

Two Clark Publications Receive Prestigious Awards
For Immediate Release
May 10, 2005
For the fifth consecutive year, the Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute's publications have been named winning entries in the New England Museum Association's annual publications awards competition. In the category of invitations for fundraisers, the "Bonjour, Monsieur Courbet" gala invitation, which included cut-out details of portraits, received first place and the "Inness and the Berkshires" invitation for the "Summer Romance in the Winter" gala took third place. David Edge, the Clark's graphic design and production manager, designed both invitations, working closely with production editor Katie Pasco.
"We are delighted that NEMA has recognized the Clark with these honors," said Curtis Scott, the Clark's director of publications. "David and Katie deserve a tremendous amount of credit for maintaining such high quality over such a long and sustained period of time." Each year the publications department produces some 200 individual items, ranging from brochures and invitations to books and posters to exhibition graphics and the website.
Winning publications were recognized for "excellence in design, production, and effective communication." A total of 211 entries were received from 78 museums in 19 categories. The summer issue of NEMA News will announce the complete list of winning publications. NEMA's annual conference, this year in Burlington, MA from November 16 to 18, will display the award-winning entries.
The Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute is located at 225 South Street in Williamstown, Massachusetts. The galleries are open Tuesday through Sunday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. (daily in July and August). Admission is free November through May. Admission June 1 through October 31, is $10 for adults, free for children 18 and under, members, and students with valid ID. For more information, call 413-458-2303 or visit www.clarkart.edu.

OAKLAND, Calif.—An Oakland museum dedicated to California history has been hit by thieves, but officials aren't saying exactly what was taken or how much it was worth.
The Oakland Tribune reports ( http://bit.ly/W6bu05) that someone broke a door to get into the Oakland Museum of California on Monday night then stole some artifacts and precious metals from a gallery before leaving through another door.
The museum's executive director, Lori Fogarty, says the stolen objects have more historical than monetary value. The police asked her not to reveal the pieces that were taken.
Fogarty says the building's security alarms went off during the break-in and that Oakland officers arrived within three minutes.
Police are reviewing surveillance footage for possible leads.

Higuain downs Depor
Gonzalo Higuain scored an 88th-minute winner as Real Madrid came from a goal down to sneak past a gutsy Deportivo La Coruna.
The hosts, bottom of the Primera Division, took the attack to a slightly weakened Madrid side, with Luis Pizzi and Riki causing plenty of problems, and the latter broke the deadlock 10 minutes before the interval.
Depor had several chances to extend their lead, but were made to rue some poor finishing when Kaka equalised in the 73rd minute, with Higuain sealing victory for the visitors two minutes from time.
Angel Di Maria was given his marching orders in the 90th minute after picking up two bookings, but it mattered little to the result.
Real coach Jose Mourinho took the opportunity to rest several first-team stars prior to Tuesday's Copa del Rey clash with Barcelona, with a Champions League last-16 second leg at Manchester United also looming large on the horizon.
The most notable absentee was Cristiano Ronaldo, who could only watch from the bench as his side were outplayed in the first half.
Deportivo came out all guns blazing and Madrid goalkeeper Diego Lopez looked shaky, spilling Riki's fierce effort before defender Pepe cleared the danger.
Mourinho's men were lacking a cutting edge up front, but the hosts were vibrant and Pizzi narrowly missed the target after cutting in from the right.
But Depor brokethe deadlock in the 35th minute when Riki latched on to Pizzi's pass, cut between defensive duo Ricardo Carvalho and Pepe and beat Lopez at his near post.
Any thoughts that the hosts would sit back and try to protect their lead were banished when Pizzi cut past Pepe before curling the ball over Lopez, only for full-back Marcelo to spare his team's blushes and head off the line.
Riki then twisted and turned past Carvalho, with his shot narrowly missing Lopez's right hand post, while Madrid's goalkeeper also had to deny Portuguese winger Bruno Gama's fizzing strike before the interval.
Madrid emerged energised after half-time, with Callejon heading wide and Marcelo's goalbound strike blocked in the box.
Perhaps sensing an opening, Mourinho made a triple substitution as Ronaldo, Mesut Ozil and Sami Khedira entered the fray.
Madrid's star player made an immediate impact, slotting through for Higuain, who thought he had drawn his side level but was flagged offside.
The visitors were now on top and deservedly levelled matters when Kaka fired low into the net from just outside the area in the 73rd minute.
With the bit between their teeth, Madrid went in search of a winner, and Ronaldo leapt in front of his marker but could only head narrowly wide.
But the Portugal international would play a key role in the 88th-minute winner, collecting the ball from Kaka and squaring for Higuain, who was left with the simplest of tap-ins.
Madrid's night was slightly soured by Di Maria's sending off when the winger was given a second booking for not advancing ten yards at a set-piece.

BETHLEHEM -- Jeremy Martelle's position as a senior aviation planner for a New Jersey-based, internationally recognized engineering consulting firm requires that he regularly travel the globe.
Earlier this month, Martelle attended the 2013 Airports Council International EUROPE / World Annual Congress and Exhibition in Istanbul, Turkey. The annual meeting that attracts the highest caliber of executives from across the industry was held on a global scale where Europe and Asia meet -- in Istanbul. He stayed at the Hotel Hilton Istanbul, about 1,000 feet away from where police sealed Istanbul's central Taksim Square, a day after they cleared it in a tear-gas-filled conclusion to more than two weeks of anti-government protests in Turkey. Clashes between protesters and the police lasted far into the night around Istanbul and throughout the country.
Just down the street from the Hilton, the storming of Taksim Square and adjoining Gezi Park inflamed opposition to Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan, whose 10-year rule has been challenged as never before by the demonstrations in dozens of cities across the country.
"I was a little bit hesitant initially to go; I looked on the Internet to see where the hotel and conference was being held in proximity to Taksim Square. I'm a member of the New York National Guard and I reached out to a couple of the intelligence folks who were a little bit concerned, but I ended up going," Martelle said.
He specializes in a wide range of aviation related services such as airport management, security, and operations; prior to joining a New Jersey-based consulting firm, he served as the manager of operations and security for the Albany International Airport. He has been an active member with the United States Air Force and the New York Air National Guard for the past 21 years.
Martelle's stay occurred in a grace period before the protests took a turn toward the extreme violence shown in news reports, where police confronted protesters across Istanbul using clouds of tear gas and water cannons on crowds as they chased thousands of people out of Istanbul's center.
Martelle, who ran for a seat as a Republican candidate on the Bethlehem town council twice and is vice president of the board of trustees of the Bethlehem Public Library, was struck during his visit with what he perceived to be similarities between the start of the trouble in Istanbul over lack of shared dialogue over the fate of a green space to the issues locally that led to the Occupy Albany movement that continues to publicize its issues online at www.occupyalbany.org
"To all appearances, the movement appeared similar to the Occupy Albany movement that we've experienced here. The tents, all ages young children to older folks in attendance. I couldn't help but notice the building supplies stockpiled because demolition and new construction had been underway when the protests got underway. There was a war like feeling; the protesters used the materials to block off side streets and police vehicles and ambulances were overturned and covered with graffiti " he said.
An accomplished photographer, Martelle captured many images throughout downtown Istanbul that clearly illustrate how quickly disputes against the fate of a green space spiraled into a nationwide movement protesting the heavy-handed style and perceived increasing Islamist agenda of Turkish Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan of the country's AK Party.
"The people have a real concern that the green space they typically enjoyed was being taken away. It was being done without public involvement. As Americans, we have a voice in our local community and when you see what's happening elsewhere, you realize how fortunate we are to have a voice in the decision making process" Martelle said.

You set the hard water setting to 25, did you test the water? The hardness setting has little to do with the salt, it has to do with how many gallons the system is good for and how often it regenerates. The salt per cu. ft. s determined by the brine refill time. Do you have the model number of your system? Or can you post a picture of it?
In general, the water should not have a salty taste. The "salt" taste is a combination of sodium and Chloride, NACL, the water exiting your system should be lacking the Chloride portion of that if the system is working properly. The chloride is a waste product during the regeneration.
Hope this helps.

Passing Shots
ROME – Random thoughts, observations, links and other goodies from the tennis world this week …
• I said it on Twitter and I'll say it again: Roger Federer's new haircut makes him look old. That said, the above photo is great.
Photos: The evolution of Federer's hair
• It sounds like the toughest competition in Rome isn't happening on the court, but at the gelato shops around town. "Yesterday I realized that I'm really glad I have a job because if I didn't I'd be obese and I'd be in debt," Maria Sharapova joked before the Italian Open. "It's just really good that I have something to do when I wake up in the morning. Because this city is really dangerous for the diet and the wallet and yesterday was not a good day for both."
• Serena Williams was, not surprisingly, much more colorful. I asked after her quarterfinal win whether she'd be taking a souvenir home. Her response? "Usually it ends up on my ass," she said with a cackle, referring to her penchant for gelato.
• Benoit Paire told me that he's not going to prepare for his potential semifinal match against Federer by eating pizza. "No, I will eat pasta," he said. "One pizza is not bad for me, but we will see."
• Count me in the camp that thinks it was admirable of Andy Murray to battle back from 1-4 down in the second set against Marcel Granollers to even the second-round match at a set apiece before retiring because of a back injury. He clearly wanted to silence the cynics who were going to assume that he retired simply because he was losing.
• A pregnant Kim Clijsters was in Rome hitting with and coaching her good friend Kirsten Flipkens, who lost in the first round.
• Clijsters even gracefully hopped the fence (which Darren Cahill told me is a code violation) when requested for a coaching timeout.
• An Italian journalist summoned the courage to ask Sharapova if her withdrawal Friday was related to the fact that it was Grigor Dimitrov's birthday the day before. It didn't go well.
• Tough luck for anyone scheduled to play on Courts 4 or 6 at the Foro Italico. Both are adjacent to the practice courts most frequented by the top players. Lisa Raymond/Laura Robson and Svetlana Kuznetsova/Flavia Pennetta had to stop their doubles match a number of times because of the crowd's reaction to Rafael Nadal's practice session. Minutes later, Sloane Stephens and Kiki Bertens played part of their second-round match through flashbulbs and "Roger! Roger! Roger!" chants when the Maestro took to a neighboring court.
• Stephens' face lit up when I told her that a British magazine rated her the ninth-most-marketable athlete in the world.
• Victoria Azarenka has been flying way under the radar in Rome. I can't decide if that's a good or a bad thing.
• You rarely get an expressive photo of Nadal's girlfriend, Xisca Perello. This is a great photo of Rafa's ladies (from left: his younger sister, Maria Isabel; his mother, Ana Maria; and Perello):
• I always marvel at Italian fans' patriotism. The court was packed and loud last weekend when Federica Di Sarra, an Italian I've never heard of, took on Jamie Hampton in the first round of qualies. That support extended to the standing-room-only crowds for Sara Errani and Roberta Vinci.
• Love this GIF of Serena from the Madrid Open trophy ceremony.
Serena's favorite TV show is …
• Does anyone understand this Jo-Wilfried Tsonga promotional game? It sounds like something from the future.
• Bar chat: Better meltdown — "HOW MANY TIMES????" or "THERE IS NO SPACE!!!"?
• Jelena Jankovic defeated Li Na 7-6 (2), 7-5 in a two-hour, 39-minute third-rounder, the longest two-set match of the year for the WTA. The match featured 29 break points, a 10-minute game and Jankovic's screaming like a banshee toward her box throughout. It was great.
• Raise your hand if you ever uttered the sentence: "Sara Errani? She's a top-five player, for sure." Liars, all of you.
• Serena Williams: Photo bomber. She told me she's annoyed that Venus didn't post all the pictures that Serena sneaked into. Apparently, there were a lot.
• If Rome's Stadio Nicola Pietrangeli is the best No. 3 court in the world, SuperTennis Arena has to be one of the worst No. 2 courts (or any court) in the world. The pop-up stadium, with its metal walkways and uncomfortable plastic chairs, has zero ambiance, and the crowd, if there is one, is dead quiet. It's a tennis wasteland.
• Bar chat: Are Nadal's matches against David Ferrer actually enjoyable to watch?
• What an odd tournament for the Serbs. A streaking Ana Ivanovic loses in the first round, Novak Djokovic collapses in the quarterfinals, Viktor Troicki loses his mind and Jankovic gets bageled and loses to a qualifier in the quarterfinals. Not so ajde.
• Nadal's snide dig at Ernests Gulbis after their quarterfinal, effectively saying that the 24-year-old Latvian was just bashing the ball, was very entertaining.
• Question I'm struggling to answer: Regardless of her form, can Serena be considered the overwhelming French Open favorite when she hasn't made it past the quarterfinals since 2003?
• I spoke to Gulbis, Paire, Dimitrov and Jerzy Janowicz this week. So much personality and charisma in that quartet. The ATP will be better off when they can all win matches consistently to earn their time in the spotlight.
• This guy. What a show-off:


text: Aluminum side out...you sure you want lint on the roof? Putting the exhaust into the attic is not a good thing - all that heat, lint, and moisture. In the winter, it could cause a big problem - melting snow, creating ice dams, saturating the wood and promoting mold and rot. If the run is within the manufacuter's length specifications, can you get it to a gable end wall instead of the roof?

Corsham pupils help plough cash into Jamie's Farm
10:00am Wednesday 25th December 2013 in News
Schoolchildren in Corsham are celebrating, after netting a bumper crop for a local farm.
Last year the Year 8 pupils at The Corsham School raised £1,700 for Jamie's Farm, a Box charity giving under-privileged children a taste of the great outdoors.
Teacher Emma Fairbairn, assistant head of Year 8, said: "Each tutor group planned, organised and ran an event of their choice.
"We had an Easter goodies sale, sponsored silence, a fun run and a cake sale at parents' evening, and we raised the most we have ever raised.
"We always collect for a children's charity, and they chose Jamie's Farm as they wanted something local.
"Katie from the farm came into school and showed a presentation of what they do.
"She brought a lamb in with her, which the children loved, and we went down to the farm for an afternoon where they met Jamie, which was lovely, as they could see where the money was going."

Dryden >Home Furnishings > Poso Coal Inc
386 Gulf Hill Rd, Dryden, NY | Directions 1305342.534879 -76.269021
POSO COAL – This is my third season dealing with Poso Coal & I will continue to use him as long as he is in business.He has quality coal & his pricing is right on the money competitive wise. I have never had a problem delivery wise. His weights are good and his dry sense of humor parallels my own.:) I see people complaining about John's attitude--come on people, this is not a mental health clinic, it's a coal business. Also, why would I run out of coal if I did my homework? Thanx for being there Poso Coal. Freetown Fred
This is the place to buy coal. – This is a small business. However, you've got a guy running it who takes pride in coal. His coal does not have "fines" in it, so, you'll use less and it will not hurt your equipment, and will not "snap-crackle-pop". His coal is "clean", it is not transported in trucks that carry sand and salt. Take my advise on that one, I bought coal elsewhere and the salt content is VISIBLE and with the fines, it ruined my equipment. I did not appreciate this guy enough, until I went somewhere else. He also serviced my machine, and replaced the parts damaged from "bad coal" that I purchased elsewhere.
A great place for coal and advice about coal stoves – I've only had a coal stove for a year and have had problems here and there working out the quirks, I've called poso just to ask for advice several times and they've always been helpful and even offered to come out and look even when the issue was not necessarily related to the stove and they don't sell my type of stove. The hours arent great for picking up coal if you can't manage to plan ahead, run out and need coal mid day BUT you can always get them on the phone and if you need something they will leave it out for you and you can slide your check in the door. My take on this place is that its no frills, they offer a reasonable service to reasonable people, however, if you're looking for a higher level of service you might consider going somewhere that isn't a 1-2 man operation.
Not a good company!! – This company and it's owner is completely useless. Their opening hours are few and far between opening just 2 hours a day, great for when you run out of coal huh? They under deliverd me by around 200lbs and their prices are outrageous. Stay away from them!
attitude problem – This guy is notorious for his attitude. A friend stopped in to ask about stoves, he replied to her "Why, so you can buy it somewhere else?". I called him for a new part for my stove, he said he had it and I asked the price, he replied "Does it really matter?". His coal is also alot more expensive than coal elsewhere.

As just possibly you might have imagined, there has been all kinds of reaction to the news the Dodgers and Fox are on the cusp of signing a staggering $6 billion to $7 billion new TV contract.
It's either the end of civilization or the greatest thing ever. The demise of Twinkies or the birth of the DVR.

Today I wanted to share my Blog Organizer Notebook system
with you because it's how I keep my sanity with my blog post schedule.
For those of you who don't blog or don't care,
this notebook can also be adapted into a Lesson Plan book
for teachers, bible school teachers, and home schoolers
or as a household organizer notebook.
For anyone else who is interested I'm sharing the system that works best for me.
I got this great notebook printable and system from my bloggy friend,
Beckie was one of the first bloggers I "met" during my first year of blogging.
She held my hand and provided encouragement as I floundered
and didn't know what I was doing,
I will always be appreciative of that.
Now her blog is ginormous and has a huge following and I'm so happy for her.
She posted this great tutorial on how to make a blog organizer notebook
and I realized that it was a system I could actually use that would work for me!
Plus I'm left-handed and this system is lefty-friendly. : )
Rather than re-writing her whole post,
I'm just going to show you my version
of her notebook that I made with HER printables.
If you click HERE, you'll see her whole post about the system
including a tutorial video showing you how her notebook works.
You can see Beckie that way too -- Hi Beckie!
(Note: Beckie has free printables to use it as a lesson plan book too!)
Beckie printed her pages and had them bound nicely into a custom notebook --
For my version, I just printed her pages then
I used a glue stick for the glue-down pages
into a new spiral notebook -
because I'm too cheap or lazy to do it her way!
I hope this notebook system is as useful and handy for you as it is for me.
It has been a huge timesaver and I would be lost without mine!

While nearly every mountain range has a location of this name, the Hell's Canyon located in Utah's rugged Wasatch Mountains deserves its name. It has a reputation for holding giant mule deer, and for being nearly impossible to hunt due to horrific terrain and thick brush. Old timers hunted this country in heavy canvas and leather. While these materials resisted tears and abrasions, they were noisy, heavy, soaked up water and provided little or no insulation. Fortunately, thanks to modern fabrications and technology, all this has changed.
The new Browning Hell's Canyon hunting apparel was engineered with three things in mind: Ruggedness, weather-resistance and quietness. The three-layer fleece fabric is built to withstand the punishment of places like Hell's Canyon, where the abuse from jagged rocks and twisted branches will destroy lesser fabrics. It is also 100% windproof and highly water-resistant to handle any conditions, all while being soft and quiet enough to keep from alerting wary game, allowing you to concentrate on the hunt instead of what you are wearing. Hell's Canyon lightweight camouflage is an essential part of any serious big game hunter's outdoor kit.
In addition to the ultra quiet short knap fleece exterior, Hell's Canyon is available in Realtree and Moss Oak camouflage patterns, offering you a choice between two of the mostly widely recognized producers of hunting camouflage in North America. In order to reduce your scent signature, Odorsmart anti-bacterial technology is built into the lining our the jackets, pants, and bibs.

Introducing the Official Logo of Deaf Autism America
Deaf Autism America has an official logo, created and designed in conjunction with Sweetwater Media.
There are many ways to interpret this logo. Each puzzle piece represents the parents/experts and the individual with autism. They are also symbolic of both deaf and autism. The pieces fitting together are representative of the collaborative effort of the team as they work towards connecting with, and supporting, this special population as well as towards unlocking the mystery of autism.
