In the Garden
When to water?
Days when temperatures climb into triple digits followed by evenings with fast-moving thunder storms can leave beginning gardeners unsure about whether or not to add supplemental water to their vegetable gardens.
The general rule of thumb is that plants need about one inch of water a week either from rain or irrigation or a combination of the two.
The amount of water can vary depending on the type of soil in the garden, but the objective is to wet the soil to a depth of 5 or 6 inches and not water again until the top few inches begin to dry out.
"Your garden needs to be watered deeply,"says Henrico Extension Agent Lisa Sanderson. "And that requires some time.
"Some people think sprinkling water with a hose for a few minutes and wetting the surface of the soil will be enough,"she adds,"but deep watering is not something you can do for 10 minutes and be done."
Taking the time to water plants deeply can make them more resistant to droughts because the plants develop deep roots.
"Watering a little bit every day encourages shallow roots," says Sanderson, "So plants dry out quicker. And watering every day helps surface seeds, which are usually weeds, to germinate and grow."
Sanderson cautions that every garden is different, so gardeners need to check their soil to see when to water. Sandy soils may need to be watered more often, while a clay soil can hold moisture longer. Organic matter that you can add by incorporating it at tilling or by top dressing plants with compost can help soil hold moisture.
"You can use a rain gauge to see how much rain water your garden is getting," says Sanderson. "Or use a soil meter to see how dry the soil is."
"Fingers are also wonderful things to check soil moisture,"she adds. "Or use a trowel to pull back some soil and check for moisture."
The best time to water is in the morning when cooler temperatures mean less water will be lost to evaporation. Watering early also allows foliage that gets wet to dry before nightfall.
"It's better to water at the roots,"says Sanderson. "More water gets to the plant, and you have fewer issues with disease caused by moisture on the leaves."
If time is an issue, busy gardeners can use soaker hoses that allow water to slowly seep out all along their length. Placed at the base of plants and left on for sufficient time, soaker hoses can provide the deep watering that plants need.
"It's also a great idea to mulch your plants,"says Sanderson. Mulch conserves moisture in the soil by slowing evaporation and can prevent backsplash on leaves during watering. Plus mulching helps to control weeds that compete for the soil's moisture.
Sanderson adds that these watering principles also apply to landscape plants.
"Usually, established plants are fine," she says,"but when you have these hot, hot days, it's a good idea to keep your eye on your plants to see if you need to water."

A fun, fuzzy ride
'Muppets Most Wanted' worthy of its franchise
Do Muppets sleep? It's hard to say.
They don't really eat (or breathe, as far as anyone can tell). And only occasionally do they have visible, functioning legs.
As far as anyone knows, sleeping might be off the table. And that makes it very hard to accuse the Muppets of sleepwalking through their latest feature, Muppets Most Wanted – even if that's exactly what's going on.
Jim Henson's beloved creations were back in a big way after 2011's The Muppets, with fame and fortune and even an Oscar, a first for the group ("Rainbow Connection" was nominated, yet somehow failed to collect at the '79 ceremony). > Read more.

I have sighted five UFOs:
They were "unidentified flying or stationary objects" in the sky. Such objects were sighted by many millions of people globally. One of my neighbors has sighted a huge extraterrestrial spaceship fly right above our building. Air force officers all over the world have sighted extraterrestrial spaceships up close within yards, which would hover over or remain stationary over nuclear weapon storages for hours at a time.
I have spoken to hundreds of people on the street raising awareness of the phenomenon. I'd say about 10 to 15% of the people I spoke to have sighted UFOs and a larger percentage of people know of people who have sighted UFOs. I even spoke with people who have been abducted by extraterrestrial beings.
I would like to know whether people in this forum have sighted any UFOs or have had other experiences pertaining to the phenomena.

Humanity has been visited by different extraterrestrial races throughout its history. Some cavemen's drawings, art, paintings, and sculptures verify this fact.
Indeed, because their technology is many millennia or more advanced than that of human beings', human beings did mistake extraterrestrials for gods at times. Some ETs exploited humanity's naivete and superstitions for their own self-serving purposes. Of course, now human beings know better than to regard extraterrestrials as gods, despite their technology far more advanced than humanity's.
Advanced technology, which I'm sure you are all aware of, requires a lot of resources, as can be observed in our own world. The more advanced technology one intends to achieve and maintain, the more resources are required. This is no different in the universe. Traveling a vast distance would be entirely too costly for extraterrestrials, unless they had a specific purpose for doing so. Some of you may be aware that planets such as ours with immense biodiversity and temperate climate are very rare in the universe. Our planet has a wealth of resources, particularly biological resources, which extraterrestrials covet for themselves. They have no intention of destroying our world or humanity, but to persuade humanity to welcome them and cooperate with them. Their goal is to gain the control of access to the resources of our world.
It is our fear and preferences which mislead us to believe that any beings from outer space who visit us would, for no reason, wipe us out, or would be benevolent races here to help humanity. Neither is the case. The ET races we would encounter are self-serving resource explorers who do not wish to destroy human race or the world, but to use us to obtain the resources of the world. Destroying the world or human beings would defeat their purpose of acquiring resources. Yet, their not destroying either the world or humanity, in no way, indicates that they are benevolent beings with our well-being on their minds.
If you consider our own affairs in this world, more advanced and powerful nations have exploited isolated, less advanced nations that possess resources. They would employ persuasions by offering trinket gifts or technology in order to engender trust of themselves in the natives – gifts or technology that is not useful for the natives but creates addiction for it. If a certain soda company, say, were to establish itself in a third world country with resources that they desire, then it may offer free sodas to its natives, get them addicted to the product, persuade them to permit building factories on their land, and establish itself on their land to influence and persuade the government or other authorities to acquire access to the resources that they were after in the first place.
Now, humanity is the native of this planet being so persuaded by extraterrestrial races that are here for resource acquisition and control of the world.
Apparently, they are able to travel at the speed multiple times the luminal speed, yes, but without "folding space-time." Someone else in the thread mentioned why the aliens are so incompetent as to get sighted by people when they have such advanced technology. The reason is that not only do they possess advanced technology, but also sophisticated skills to influence thought in the mental environment – the environment of thought and influence – which humanity, at large, is unaware of. With their skills to persuade others in the mental environment, they have been casting what is called the Pacification Program upon humanity, which is designed to keep human beings ignorant about their presence, in denial of their presence, or welcoming their presence. You can see this played out even in this thread. So, you ask why they are so incompetent as to reveal their presence accidentally, I'd think the more appropriate question would be how can humanity be so easily pacified as to remain
Some people, when explained to about the phenomenon, have told me that they didn't care if the ETs are visiting, let alone trying to find out what is truly occurring in the world which affects them directly. Others adamantly deny the phenomenon, whose best explanations for the strange events that are occurring in our world are various jibes such as "Maybe it was a magic carpet driven by Sasquatch. Maybe it went to get some beer." I have also been accused of being xenophobic because I urge people to resist the Extraterrestrial Intervention. Yet, they do not even know what sort of sinister activities they've been carrying out covertly in our world unbeknownst to most of us, and what their true intentions are.
If you knew that kidnappers were lurking in your village, wouldn't you warn your neighbors? Would you welcome the kidnappers because you want to keep an open mind about them, even though you know nothing about them? A child would know better than to welcome a stranger who lures them with a candy bar. Yet currently, humanity collectively has less of rationality than a child.
Although technologically advanced extraterrestrials can certainly travel much faster than human beings, the distance still remains an obstacle. Consider our galaxy which purportedly contains about a trillion solar systems. Assuming that solar systems are evenly spaced in the galaxy for the sake of computations, the local region of about 5000 solar systems among which is our solar system is about the size of a quarter of a pea, if the galaxy is about the size of a football field. No amount of technology enabled any race to travel from one end across the galaxy to the other end. Their travel still requires some form of fuel. They do not need to "fold space-time" or travel down "wormholes." These are apparently erroneous theories human beings have come up with, in an attempt to explain space traveling which requires superluminal speeds.
Let us consider the example of airplanes sighted by people living in The Dark Ages. Given the limitations of technology and science known to them at the time, what sort of empirical evidence could they have gathered to convince their fellow human beings of their sightings? We're less than two millennia more advanced in technology than that of The Dark Ages. (In fact, compare our technology with that of two or three hundred years ago.) Extraterrestrial beings have been visiting the Earth well before human beings even existed; they are many millennia, if not hundreds of millennia or more advanced in technology than human beings are. Would you still attempt to deny that their technology is not possible because theories upheld by human beings do not "allow" it to? The phenomenon is very humbling, for we come to a realization that we're not the preeminent beings in the universe. We need to first discard anthropocentric perspective, and the notion that we're the most intelligent beings with the most advanced science and technology in the universe. This is very far from the reality. We cannot hope to understand the reality, if we continue to have such arrogance, not to mention ignorance.
I do not regard informing people of what is occurring as fear mongering. I would, out of concern for everyone, and, indeed, out of concern for the fate of humanity, continue to raise awareness, educate about these extraterrestrials, and urge people to resist the ET Intervention and prepare for the future which will be unlike the past.
Do you have any evidence that these ET's have hostile intentions?
Have they broken any laws?
Do our laws threaten them or are we threatened by their laws?
I appreciate that you want to warn us - There's nothing wrong with that -
But really - if you ever get in contact with these ET's I think you have to give THEM the warning -
Tell them to get out of here very fast because its Humans who are the dangerous ones and not them.....
Im on your side - Keep up the good work
Show them War of the Worlds. It'll scare 'em shitless.
"Show them War of the Worlds. It'll scare 'em shitless."
Yep thats right - That or the 6 oclock news.
Either one will do.
I expect that just about all TV ad radio transmissions since the late 1930's could be considered training material for an ET invasion. I can just about see the alien prof. covering the use of weapons, 'now children, on first pass over the target planet, infested by 'humaaans', what are some possible options? Saturation bombing with particle weapons? Biological/GMO predator drones? Nano-machine bio-processors? Or my favorite, Singularity Induced Gravity Disruptor, SINGD?
Making sense out of non-sense for 40 years and counting! ;o)
Why don't they just hitch up Earth with a tractor beam and drag it back to their home planet. Killing off the humans will happen very shortly after that trip begins. Right, Scotty?
Yes, a very under appreciated technical detail. When they get to their home world, they would have the opportunity to harvest the vast collection of flash frozen fresh meats and finger food. Some already salted, and brined! I expect with proper planning, they could set aside one half of the planet for BBQ. ;-(. YUK!
Humanity has been visited by different extraterrestrial races throughout its history. Some cavemen's drawings, art, paintings, and sculptures verify this fact.
Most of the cavement's sculptures I'm aware of are of animals or women with big boobs.
Anyway, how could art "verify" extraterrestial visitations. I know that von Daeniken and his offspring like to ask questions ("Could it be that this figure is an astronaut wearing some sort of breathing aparatus?") but you've gone ahead and answered the questions.
You're one of these people who think that writing long diatribes makes your stupid thesis more plausible. I can't justify replying to all of it, so I'll just take an example:
Let us consider the example of airplanes sighted by people living in The Dark Ages. Given the limitations of technology and science known to them at the time, what sort of empirical evidence could they have gathered to convince their fellow human beings of their sightings?
Have you ever heard of the fallacy petitio principii (aka begging the question)? It's when you assume what you are essentially wanting to prove. In the above, you seem to be assuming they saw planes, and that it's only because of their ignorance of planes that we have no proof.
If you don't see how dumb that is and what asses you think we must be to go along with it, you're hopeless.
Regardless of the "official" reason, Ronald Reagan and Mikhail Gorbachev agreed to end the Cold War in order to unite for the common cause of offsetting the invasion from outer space, here are some quotes by Reagan and Gorbachev. Please note that the United Nations did not snicker at the "odd" remarks that Reagan made about the alien threat from outside this world, but rather listened solemnly. Gorbachev did not even hint that Reagan's remark about the alien invasions was preposterous, nor denied the alien invasion, except that it's early yet to worry about it.
During a December 4, 1985, speech at the Fallston High School in Maryland, where he spoke about his first summit with General Secretry Gorbachev in Geneva, Reagan stated that "how easy his task [General Gorbachev's] and mine might be in these meetings that we held, if suddenly there was a threat to this world from some other species from another planet outside in the universe. We'd forget all the little local differences that we have between our countries …"
Gorbachev in his speech on February 17, 1987, in the Grand Kremlin Palace in Moscow, to the Central Committee of the USSR's Communist Party, stated that "At our meeting in Geneva, the U.S. President said that if the earth faced an invasion by extraterrestrials, the United States and the Soviet Union would join forces to repel such an invasion. I shall not dispute the hypothesis, though I think it's early yet to worry about such an intrusion…"
Reagan in his speech before the full session of the General Assembly of the United Nations on September 21, 1987, stated that, "in our obsession with antagonisms of the moment, we often forget how much unites all the members of humanity. Perhaps we need some outside, universal threat to make us recognize this common bond. I occasionally think how quickly our differences worldwide would vanish if we were facing an alien threat from outside this world. And yet, I ask, is not an alien force already among us?"
The governments have been covering up the ET Intervention for different reasons. They didn't want to panic the public by announcing that the world was being visited by extraterrestrial forces but the governments were completely helpless in defending their people and the world. Then some of the people in the positions of power in politics, religions, and commerce were persuaded to work in concert with the ETs. Many have, indeed, fallen under the persuasion of the ETs with inducements of more wealth, power, technology, or even dominion over the world. However, some of them began to realize that they were only being used and deceived by the ETs. How could they disclose the ET Intervention to the public? Citizens would lose faith in the governments for concealing the information for a long time, and then joining to assist the ETs by basically selling out their people? Yet, there are now people in the secret corridor of governments who are now resisting the ET Intervention because they recognize its true intentions. So the UFO/ET phenomenon remains officially "a hoax," yet information regarding the phenomenon continues to "leak" to the public. Is it being leaked or is it being disseminated with the intention of alerting humanity to the phenomenon?
People are being abducted against their will to be experimented on and used in human-alien hybridization program. Their memories are suppressed or otherwise altered. They are returned brainwashed to welcome and support them, or psychologically, physically, and mentally traumatized for life. Those who don't survive the abduction are used as their resources. Abduction is just one of the sinister activities these ETs have been carrying out.
I realize that this is difficult for many people to accept, not only because it compels us to reevaluate our beliefs, but it engenders fear of these extraterrestrial forces unknown to us. It may lead people to bash those who attempt to inform others and those who have had close encounters of the first kind, second kind, third kind, etc. However, we must face the reality nevertheless, if we are to unite for the common goal of resisting and thwarting the Extraterrestrial Intervention, as Ronald Reagan attempted to do by letting the world know about the ET Intervention. To that end, humanity must first set aside any ancient animosities and conflicts between any religious groups, nations, and ethnic groups, for we cannot be weak and divided, if we are to face the ET forces, as a united race.
Regarding Dr. Leir, consider the "spin and dirty trick" that was employed partly to deter any scientists to delve into the phenomenon, if they didn't want to risk their reputation and careers. So now, research institutes or researchers tend to be very quick at distancing themselves from the phenomenon. In fact, the lab technicians who did not know how the implants in abductees' bodies were obtained gave a lab analysis which concluded that they were some objects engineered out of extraterrestrial substances. Yet, they denied their own results even by altering them when they found out where the implants were extracted from. Here's a quote from Leir's book "The Aliens and the Scalpel":
The second statement had to do with a comparison to meteorites. They [New Mexico Tech] thought this was the most likely material for these fragments to have come from. On the other hand, there was a problem with the nickel-iron ratio. It seems that most meteorites contain between 6 and 10 percent nickel. They also stated that no meteorites contain less than five percent nickel and to resolve this discrepancy they deduced that these specimens could be just fragments of meteorites.
I [Dr. Leir] was astounded by this revelation and knew I had to do something to help clarify the issue. Both Derrel and I knew that our patients did not step on a meteorite or hit one with the back of their hand.
I called the lab and talked with the individual who wrote the report. I told him I was going to tell him something that he might find shocking. With that warning, I said that the samples were obtained from the human body through a surgical procedure.
As a result of that, the metallurgist rendered an additional opinion which would ultimately prove to have little merit. The final letter of opinion contained an additional general statement responding to the fact that I'd said these samples were obtained from the human body. It stated that an iron-silver mixture imbedded into the body could cause a calcification reaction. It also stated that medicine and dentistry has used ceramic materials for many years. Unfortunately, the metallurgist's biological opinions did not hold water. In actual fact, no ceramic materials at all are used today because of the tremendous inflammatory reaction which occurs when they are instilled into the body. There were many biological findings which the author of the report did not know about our cases. One was the complete lack of any inflammatory reaction. Also he did not know that the specimens were covered by a strange, gray, dense biological membrane. Last of all, there was no evidence of a portal of entry.
Here even determined scientists attempting to establish scientific evidence of the UFO/ET phenomenon are met with hindrance of their fellow scientists. Institutions, particularly prestigious ones, would refuse to associate themselves to the phenomenon, even when the results were obtained by them themselves.
Boy, you are really jumping to conclusions regarding Reagan's colorful example of what MIGHT unite enemies...a common cause.
Our ET boy is into some really good smoke, I hope he plans on sharing, I wanna see little green men too. LOL

This Monday, I came home to find a very angry girlfriend (now ex) trashing my apartment. I won't go into the details of what happened but I will say that I saw that my Canon 500D laying on the floor with a nice dent on the wall from where she threw it. Also laying accross the floor were my 75-300 lens, my 18-55 lens that came with the camera and my favorite lens which was a 60mm macro lens still attached to the camera body. The 75-300 had the worst damage, both lens caps had come off at the time of impact, the UV filter was shattered and now the ring around the lens is broken (image below).
As for the camera itself, I had a battery grip that was attached to the body and that is now broken, the camera itself will no longer power on with any of my six batteries. My external flash seemed to be ok but I havent had a chance to test it yet.
My question to the board is, is there anywhere that I can take my camera equipment and see what works and what should be considered a loss? Also, would the cost to fix the 500D be so expensive that it would make more sense to buy a new and better camera?
Thanks in advance

RENO — Local business advocates are hoping to crash Recycled Records in Reno with cash during the first-ever "cash mob" on Tuesday.
Fueled by Facebook and other social media blitzes, the cash mob concept was born in an effort to help local businesses nationwide overcome the economy's continued struggles. In a cash mob, shoppers are asked to spend $10 to $20 in the shop to demonstrate the economic impact of shopping at locally owned businesses.
According to the American independent Business Alliance, when a consumer spends $100 in a locally owned business, $45 of it stays in the community. In comparison, when that same $100 is spent in a national chain store, only $13 stays local. The 30/50 Project reports that if half of the employed population spent $50 each month in a locally-owned business, it would generate more than $40 billion in revenue.
This is the first such effort in the Reno-Sparks area, organizer Steve Funk said. The 30-year-old record store at 3344 Kietzke Lane was chosen for the inaugural mob.
Organized in northern Nevada by a group of local small business advocates, the local effort is billed as "Reno-Sparks CA$H MOB" on Facebook.
"It's a small commitment from and individual shoppers," small-business advocate Randy Pease said, "but the impact it can have on our local businesses can be huge!"
Locals are asked to join the Facebook group "Reno-Sparks CA$H MOB," then invite 10 friends to do the same and again, and share the idea with 10 of their friends.
Shoppers are encouraged to post suggestions to the group for a favorite locally owned businesses. They will go into the suggestion pool for the next scheduled mob.
"Each new member helps build the economy now, and it's really needed in northern Nevada," CA$H MOB captain Steve Funk said. "We'll organize more on a regular basis throughout the Truckee Meadows. We also encourage new groups to form cash mob stores in other local communities."
For more information, call Funk firstname.lastname@example.com

Pienza owes its urban design to Pope Pius II, who had grand plans to transform his home village of Corsignano—the town's former name—into a model Renaissance town. The man entrusted with the project was Bernardo Rossellino (1409–64), a protégé of the great Renaissance architectural theorist Leon Battista Alberti (1404–74). His mandate was to create a cathedral, a papal palace, and a town hall (plus miscellaneous other buildings) that adhered to the humanist pope's principles. The result was a project that expressed Renaissance ideals of art, architecture, and civilized good living in a single scheme: it stands as a fine example of the architectural canon that Alberti formulated in the 15th century and emulated in many of Italy's finest buildings and piazzas. Today the cool nobility of Pienza's center seems almost surreal in this otherwise unpretentious village, though at times it can seem overwhelmed by the tourists it attracts. Pienza's pecorino, a sheep's-milk cheese, is a superior gastronomic experience.

DIY LEGO Memory Stick
Posted by John Goulden Categories: Mods / Hacks, Storage
USB memory sticks are practically a dime a dozen anymore, and when you combine cheap with useful, you give rise to all kinds of fun hacks and mods. Plus, many off-the-shelf designs are extremely utilitarian and boring, which is why some of the DIY creations can be so refreshing. An interesting one involves carving up those little LEGO blocks you loved so much as a kid (or may still love as an adult) and cramming some flash memory into them. Sure, it's been done before, but the author was kind enough to document the process for those of you who may be, ummm, mechanically challenged. The author's creation even has the side bonus of having its activity LED glow right through the LEGO brick.
Hmmm, surely my son won't miss a few LEGO pieces . . . will he?

New Samsung PCs To Come With NAND-based Solid State Drives
Posted by John Goulden Categories: Corporate News, PC / Laptop, Storage
A couple of months ago we talked about Samsung taking their NAND flash memory modules and incorporating them into Solid State Disk (SSD) drives that operate faster than conventional hard drives and use less power in the process. Now they're taking those same 32GB SSD drives and stuffing them into their new Q1 and Q30 portable devices.
The Q1 has a form factor and feature set similar to an Origami device with a 7" 800x480 display and an Intel Celeron M running at 900MHz. The Q30 is a laptop, sporting a 12.1" LCD with a 1280x768 resolution, and an Intel Celeron M at 1.2GHz. Both models feature 512MB of memory and a 32GB SSD drive. The Q30 is said to load Windows XP fifty percent faster and access data three times faster than a hard drive equipped model. Samsung has neglected to mention what the power saving features of the drive translate into for real world use.
All good things come at a price, and the Q1 and Q30 are no exception to the case. They're scheduled for release in Korea next month with the Q1 priced at $2,430 USD and the Q30 at $3,700 USD.

FireLite XPress Portable Drives With Always-On Display
Posted by John Goulden Categories: Corporate News, Storage
Portable hard drives are terribly common, but drives with LCD displays are still fairly unique. SmartDisk introduces their palm-sized FireLite XPress drive which features a cholesteric LCD display that requires no power to sustain its readout and is always on. Cholesteric LCDs are similar in nature to electronic ink, but have the drawback of slow refresh rates. For something like the FireLite XPress, the slow refresh rate is a non-issue.
From the SmartDisk news release: "The award-winning, always-on display is readable without power, identifies the drive by a user-designated name, indicates the last date that information was recorded and provides a table of contents for the drive. The display provides excellent readability even in direct sunlight, allows for wide-angle viewing and exhibits high brightness and contrast."
The FireLite XPress will be available this June in 60GB and 120GB capacities with list pricing being $199.99 and $299.99 USD respectively.

PQI's U510 Flash Drive
Posted by Jared Hislop Categories: Accessories, USB, Storage
PQI has recently announced the world's slimmest flash drive in the U510. At 3mm thick, this new drive is literally the size and thickness of a credit card. While some people might think that the reduction in physical size correlates to a reduction in storage size, this is not correct - the U510 comes with a whopping 16GB of storage space. Also built into the card is a retractable USB connector. This device is both USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 compatible and works with either Windows or Mac computers. The U510 is available in three color schemes - Iron Gray, Metallic Silver, and a World Cup print. It seems that everyone is attempting to get in on the World Cup with some device that features a World Cup color scheme. No pricing or release date has been set, but we look forward to seeing this little device.

HP Puts a Bullet Through StorageWorks Server
Posted by Jared Hislop Categories: Corporate News, Design, PC / Laptop, Storage
Anyone in Information Technology (IT) that has had to deal with a stubborn HP server has thought of taking the server out behind the woodshed and putting an end to it. Those crazy kids at HP have decided that an HP StorageWorks XP12000 disk array should be able to take a bullet and keep on ticking. The test involves a fridge sized server, a specially mounted rifle, and a .308-caliber bullet traveling 2,900 feet per second. HP's engineers mandate that the array should be able to continue streaming video after a bullet passes completely through the disk array and shatters a fish tank behind the XP.
"Our engineers told me that you could wipe out an entire side of the array and the HP StorageWorks XP12000 Disk Array would keep working," says Scott Edwards, XP product marketing manager.
Um. Good.

Panasonic to Ship Blu-Ray Burner For PC
Posted by Jared Hislop Categories: Movies, PC / Laptop, Peripherals, Storage
Panasonic has announced that they will ship an internal Blu-Ray disc writer in June. The new device will be able to read BD, DVD, and CD media, and will be capable of writing BD-R, BD-RE, DVD±R/RW (single and dual-layer), DVD-RAM and CD-R/RW discs. This drive will be able to handle 25GB and 50GB Blu-Ray media, and while it will playback DVDs, you will not be able to playback BD movies without special software. Panasonic is not bundling any software to playback BD movies, but said that they will bundle PowerDVD for DVD viewing. There will also be backup software that will enable users to write to BD-R/RE discs. No pricing is set for the LF-MB121JD, but rumors say that it will cost around $851.00.

World's Thinnest DVD Discs
Posted by John Goulden Categories: Corporate News, Storage
Using an innovative nanoimprint technology, Hitachi Maxell, LTD have succeeded in creating the world's thinnest DVD media at 0.092mm thick. This makes the new disc approximately 1/13th the thickness of existing DVD media, yet allows it to retain the full 4.7GB capacity. Obviously a single disc isn't going to gain you any benefits simply by being thinner, but if you were to take a stack of say 100-discs, make them double-sided (9.4GB), stuff them into a cartridge 2.5-inches thick, and slap a fancy acronym like SVOD on it, you'd have a digital library cartidge with almost 1TB of capacity (940
GB). SVOD, which stands for Stacked Volumetric Optical Disc, really starts to shine when coupled with the next generation of blue laser technology, as a stack of 50GB discs could increase storage capacity to 5TB.
When released the discs will be priced at under $325 for a 100-disc cartridge.

Seagate Announces Cheetah Drives With Perpendicular Recording
Posted by John Goulden Categories: Corporate News, Storage
Seagate's Cheetah drives are some of the fastest in the industry, offering rotational speeds of 15,000 RPMs coupled with low seek times. However, it doesn't take a genius to recognize that standard desktop drives long ago surpassed enterprise offerings in capacity if not speed. To help bridge the gap, Seagate has applied the principle of Perpendicular Recording to their Cheetah 15K.5 series drives, bumping the maximum capacity from 146GB to 300GB. With a June 2006 ship date, the 15K.5 is being offered in Fibre Channel and SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) versions only, so non-enterprise users need not apply. However, desktop users can fall back on the blazingly fast Raptor drives to fix their need for speed.
Pricing is not currently available, but is sure to be right in line with typical enterprise-oriented products (really expensive that is).

Plextor Shock Proof External Hard Drive
Posted by Jared Hislop Categories: Accessories, USB, Design, Storage
Plextor has just announced the availability of their new PX-SP portable hard drives which are supposedly shock proof. A new silicon cover prevents the drive from crashing and losing data if dropped. The new drives come in 80GB (PX-SP08U), and 120GB (PX-SP12U) sizes, and are said to support Windows and Mac operating systems, but our guess is that they should also work under Linux. A quick start guide, USB cable, and the silicon jacket are included with purchase. While we have our doubts on how well a silicon jacket will protect a drive from the shock of being dropped, it is nice to see some new ideas from Plextor. Expect to pay more for the added protection, the drives retail for $169 (80GB) and $260 (120GB).
"Plextor is rapidly expanding its data storage product line to include innovative devices such as the new PX-SP shock proof portable hard drives," said Michael Arbisi, Vice President, Channel Sales for Plextor, in a statement. "Our goal is to give customers a wide range of options for dependably and securely storing their valuable data, whether at home or at the office. Like all Plextor products, the PX-SP Series drives are designed and manufactured to the highest levels of quality and reliability."

TDK Begins Development On 200GB Blu-ray Discs
Posted by John Goulden Categories: Corporate News, Storage
In the neverending quest for bigger and better, TDK is starting their intial R&D process for eight-layer Blu-ray discs with a 200GB capacity. Barely a year ago in May 2005, TDK was showing off prototypes of their 100GB discs which have a total of four layers. Those aren't expected to ship till the middle of next year at the earliest, which leaves the timeline for the 200GB variety up in the air.
The dust hasn't even settled on the single-layer, 25GB BD-R discs of which manufacturers are just starting to ship. Oh, and dual-layer discs that hold 50GB? Nope, they're not available yet either, and aren't expected till much later this year. Innovation certainly is a harsh and demanding mistress.

text: We discovered a brick-lined well on the property of our 1860's farmhouse. The family who owned the property remembers there being a hand pump on top of it at one point many years back. I'm trying to decide what to do with it now. Here are the specifics; the well is 4' wide and 33' deep. Regardless of conditions, time of year, etc. there is always 3' to 4' of water sitting in it. It is cool, clear, clean, no ordor, etc. I tossed a trash pump down with a 2" fire hose connected to it and ran it for 15 minutes at about 10 gallons a minute before it started sucking air. After it rested for 10 minutes, I pumped another 60 gallons out of it before it got tired. With this being said; what can I use the well for ??? Will it produce enough water to water the lawns with ??? Would I be better off going back to an old style hand pump and use it for small watering tasks, etc. An 1860's map of the area shows springs surrounding the property. Any thoughts at all would be appreciated. Thank you !!!

Santa's House is going to get some extra company when the candlelight vigil for the families of Newtown, CT, organized by Joely Bienkowski and Nikki Anderson of Burrillville comes to the mini-park next to City Hall Saturday at 6 p.m.
The event, held in memory of the lives lost at Sandy Hook School, will feature recording artist Gael Berberick, who will be opening the ceremony
with her song "Hope for Peace".
Other entertainment will include singing, dance performances from Lyrics in Motion senior company members and an appearance by Michael Jackson
impersonator Mark Fisher.
There will also be a balloon release ceremony for the victims, and St. Nick, too. "We are expecting a lot of kids so I'm sure they'll be happy to see Santa," said Anderson.
Bienkowski said the vigil was suggested by the four children in the RI Chapter of Kids for Peace: Skyler Bienkowski, 6, her daughter, Chloe Anderson, 11, Jamie Anderson, 5, and Liam Gardinerfay,10. Bienkowski said they wanted to do something to help the families after learning about the shootings Friday. If more people thought and acted like these four kids, she said, the world would be a better place. "I think it's one way for the community to come together and heal, Bienkowski said, "Heal themselves. This was a tragedy and a horrible event."
Bienkowski said her daughter told Hilarie Veins of Lyrics in Motion studio, where she takes classes, about their plans, and she offered to bring her dancers to the event.
Bienkowski said they've received a big response from the community about the vigil, from people who want to attend. "I think so many people just wish they could do something," she said.
People attending are encouraged to bring an ornament to decorate a memorial tree - an artificial Christmas tree - honoring the Sandy Hook victims. The tree will be brought to the memorial site in Newtown, CT the following morning.
Tables will be set up with refreshments, a card-making station for
everyone to make cards and pictures for the Newtown community, and donations to benefit the families and community affected by the tragedy will be collected.
Kids for Peace RI was started in May of 2011, by Nikki Anderson and her fiancee, Steven Boss. It's one of more than 100 chapters worldwide seeking to cultivate kids ability to foster peace through cross-cultural experiences, hands-on arts, service and environmental projects.
"We are doing this to bring the community together in such a tragic
time. Kids for Peace RI is a small group of children who were
devastated by the actions of the gunman, and wanted to do something
that would unite people together in our small state for a night of
love, hope, and showing our support to those in Newtown," Anderson said.

Tax assessment bill defeated by Jaimi Reimer The way property value is assessed will not change due to the defeat of SB 104 in committee.
The Senate State Affairs committee unanimously deferred SB 104 to the 41st legislative day. The bill would have provided for the assessment of property based on its acquisition value instead of its market value, said Sen. Cheryl Madden, R-Rapid City.
�It�s not the perfect solution, but it�s better than what we have now,� said Rep. Steve Cutler, R-Claremont.

A WebHook is just a push notification from our server to yours. The Form Submit WebHook lets you setup a push notification to your server every time someone submits a form on one of your Unbounce pages.
WebHooks make it easier to integrate two systems. The most common use for our Form Submit WebHook is to feed leads into your CRM. But there are lots of other things you could do as well, such as sending yourself an email or plotting addresses on Google Earth.
The very nature of a WebHook assumes that you have some ability to write code (or bribe a friend or colleague who does). You need to have a server that can accept a POST request (like what you'd get from a form submission), and be able to write a script that does something in response.
To connect your lead-gen form to your server, visit the "Lead-Gen Form Results" area on your landing page overview screen (below the A/B Test Centre) and click the Configure WebHook link. If you just want to test it out, you can use a PostBin URL (from www.postbin.org) as a place to temporarily send your form data and examine the data format.
Every time someone makes a new form submission on your page, Unbounce will send the following data to your selected URL.
The submitted form data in JSON format. For example:
{ "full_name": ["Steve Jobs"], "email_address": ["email@example.com"], "earnings": ["More than you can possibly imagine"], "what_would_you_like_our_product_to_do?": ["Dice", "Julienne Fries"], "how_did_you_hear_about_us?": ["Can't Remember"], "ip_address": "188.8.131.52" }
The submitted form data in XML format. For example:
<?xml version='1.0'?> <form_data> <full_name>Steve Jobs</full_name> <email_address>email@example.com</email_address> <earnings>More than you can possibly imagine</earnings> <what_would_you_like_our_product_to_do?> <entry>Dice</entry> <entry>Julienne Fries</entry> </what_would_you_like_our_product_to_do?> <how_did_you_hear_about_us?>Can't Remember</how_did_you_hear_about_us?> <ip_address>22.214.171.124</ip_address> </form_data>
|The identifier Unbounce uses to uniquely identify your page. Eventually you'll be able to use this with our API to manipulate and get information about your page. This is a 36-character UUID, for example, "a2838d98-4cf4-11df-a3fd-00163e372d58″.
|The name you gave your page, for example "My Guaranteed to Convert Landing Page".
|The URL of the page that contains your form.
|This identifies the page variant that the visitor saw when they visited your page, and will be a lower-case letter. The first variant is "a", the next, "b", and so on. If you have more than 26 variants the sequence will continue with "aa", "ab", etc.
There's also a handy feature you can use to do some simple customization of the URL you're posting to. You can pass data from your form into parameters in the URL the webhook posts to. This is useful for doing simple mapping of form field names to field names expected by the target script.
Let's say you had a form with a "name" field in it, and you wanted to pass this along as a "customer_name" field. You could specify your webhook's "URL for POST" as follows:
When a form is submitted, we'll replace the "(name)" token with the value of the name field from the form. You can add as many parameters as you like, just be aware that some servers have a limit for how long the query string can be.
Following is a simple PHP script that demonstrates how to accept a POST request from the webhook, and email the results.

Thanks for the guidance, found this useful while integrating.
Does anyone have any specific code samples for posting to SalesForce?
I found something here: http://colinloretz.com/2011/03/leadhooks-unbounce-and-salesforce-in...
Hi can you use the "URL Parameter Replacement" to parse values from one Unbounce Form to another Unbounce Form?
How about providing a sample script for posting over to ASP. NET?
I am looking for something along the same lines as James. I want to pass the email captured on the lead form into an email sign up box on the Thank You / Confirmation page.
Hi Michael, form values are now passed as query parameters to the confirmation dialog and can also be passed to another page. You see see how to set this up in the Forms and Form Data section of our user guide.
Does this work with intuit crm system?
Hi William, unfortunately although we cannot speak on the Intuit system directly hence the need for using a WebHook to send leads from an Unbounce page to Intuit, I will say that if you can configure the WebHook POST script as described in the article above, this should allow leads to successfully send from an Unbounce page to Intuit.
For the most part, just like other CRM systems, we would recommend on taking note of the data format that is accepted into Intuit and configure the WebHook as such to enable this integration. Examples depending on this format, are provided above.
Is there a way to pass variant, page_url, and a custom field (such as a checkbox value) with the parameter replacement method?
I've tried using "(variant)", "(page_url)", and "(custom_checkbox)", but they aren't passed in the post URL.
Oops -- correction, I DID get the custom field to pass. However, in the case of a checkbox, if nothing is checked (no value) then the value passed in the querystring is the token for that field, e.g. "¶meter=(my_checkbox)".
The variant and page_url would be a great win -- interestingly, ip_address does work while these others don't.
Anyone have success with a Constant Contact hook?
Has anyone been able to integrate Unbounce with Get Response?
Anyone have any guidance on how you would use this method with to send leads into marketo?
We are having some difficulties with the webhook and check-boxes. When there are multiple options to check only the first variable is passed through the webhook....
Any help appreciated :-)
Hi there,
I do integration with ASP.NET. I am reading using:
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
Page.Response.ContentType = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded";
StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(Page.Request.InputStream);
String xmlData = reader.ReadToEnd();
Unfotunely, the POST contains something else, because it causes Internal Server Error on IIS.
Can anyone help me?
Hi Steve, you should use:
String xmlData = Request.Form["data.xml"];
Our POST method requires us to map the form fields to specific field names and to also pass authentication credentials to the POST url.
How can I edit the data mapping to achieve this?
I tried this example but not working.
The post url is http://domain_name/post_unbounce.php.
I tried to print the values on the web page but no luck.
echo $page_id = $_POST['page_id'];
echo $page_url = $_POST['page_url'];
echo $variant = $_POST['variant'];
Hi John - Can you double check your post url. The url you provided appears to be an incomplete/invalid link.
I'm also going to open up a support ticket for you so we can troubleshoot this and any additional issues that may arise.
Has anyone been able or know how I can use Listwire.com free autoresponder with this?
Because there is no integration with GetResponse as of today, Is it possible to use the hooks with GetResponse in order to transfer the leads to GetResponse campaign?
An integration with GetResponse similar to Aweber would really be helpful.
Please let me know.
Hey Mohammed - That should be possible if you write up a webhook script to handle that transfer. If your looking to save a bit of time on creating a webhook integration, you may want to check out Zapier. They provide a webhook integration between Unbounce and GetResponse:
As for a direct integration - We are in talks with GetResponse in building one out. There's no ETA yet but you'll be sure to hear from us when we do.

A Wide Variety Of
Products, Venues
Available -- Plus
Elegance or rusticity, bling or simplicity -- whatever the vision and whatever the occasion, Towne & Country Event Rentals & Venues strives to have the needed items to bring an event to life.
One of Greeneville's newest businesses, Towne & Country is now open at 201 West Summer Street, Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
"Anything you could imagine for any special event, we have all of it," owner Carol Brown said. "If you want elegance to the rustic look, it's here."
If an item is not in the store, additional items are available through catalog, Brown says. and if Towne & Country does not offer a certain service, Brown said she has local recommendations ready at hand.
The wide variety of products available focus mainly on weddings (Brown's favorite category of event), but items are available for just about any occasion, she said.
Rentals are the primary service that the business offers, with a variety of items available, including:
* furniture items, such as chairs and tables;
* fabric decor, such as chair covers and sashes, overlays and table linens;
* dinner items, such as a beverage or chocolate fountain, dinner ware, punch bowls and cake stands; and,
* larger decor items, such as large artificial floral arrangements, candelabras, columns, arches and a gazebo.
Retail items are also available, including Kate Middleton fashion jewelry, home accessories, favors and more.
In addition to these products, Brown offers event consultations at no extra cost.
Her 4,200-square-foot display room features a designated table to visit with clients as they share their vision, budget and needs.
In fact, she said budgeting is her number one piece of advice for brides.
Brown added that she has between about 20 to 25 years of experience in planning for weddings in addition to her time spent managing the former MECO Factory Store, where she quickly became familiar with the rental business.
"Obviously, that was my cup of tea, of course. Fell right into that one," she said.
Beyond the rentals and retail, Towne & Country also offers three event venues: Crescent Ballroom, La Loma Estate, and the City Garage Car Museum.
Brown praised the unique history within the Crescent Ballroom, located within the old Crescent Elementary School at 615 West Main St., as well as the natural beauty of La Loma Estate's rolling hills and mountain views at 3041 Asheville Hwy.
The City Garage Car Museum, located at 210 South Main St., offers the unique feature of 40 antique cars, some of which are available to rent for a minimum of three hours, she said.
She welcomed anyone to come by, browse the store, ask about pricing, and share their vision of their special occasion.

Good Food Great Service – I decided to try this place out one day with my girlfriend Rawan. I live in the Dominion so I really dont care to drive downtown for lunch but she twisted my arm. Well, I must say that to my surprise everything was absolutely delicious. The customer service was amazing! There is truly nothing that is more important than customer service to me. The outdoor patio was so beautiful. I'm not on that side of town often but I will be back. You guys keep up the great work!
Very good food. Beautiful outdoor patio. Good service.
Traditional favorite, average cuisine – I've patronized this SA landmark since the 70's. Located in a quaint stucco building in a quiet neighborhood that is easily accessible from downtown area, this restaurant is a favorite for locals and a real treat for tourists. The atmosphere and service recalls that old-time casual dining experience that has virtually disappeared from the restaurant scene now days. The patio area is a ideal spot to enjoy a margarita or a tall glass of sangria. Service is generally very good, but there have been occasions over the years when I felt a little neglected. Food is primarily traditional Tex Mex with a lean toward Southwest cuisine. I'd rate the quality on most dishes I've sampled as middle-of-the-road average in a town that boasts some of the best mexican food in Texas. My wife and grown daughter love this "cute" little place. As former restaurant owner, I have to point out that great food and decent service will sell regardless of the "atmospere", but the over-all experience at La Fonda should place it pretty high on your dining list the next time you're in SA.
girlfriend tradition – Each year my BFFs come here, drink spectacular margaritas on the patio, order the specials and celebrate our lives and loves in San Antonio. Wouldn't go anywhere else!
Great place – I'm not the biggest fan of mexican food, but I really liked this place. My favorite dish is the rainbow trout, thought I don't think you can go wrong with any of their other dishes. It has a great atmosphere, and the waiters are very professional. I love sitting outside in the back. THere's a beautiful little fountain. My coworkers and I would go there all the time for birthdays and other celebrations
Good food, good atmosphere – Great Mexican food and a great atmosphere, especially if it is a nice day and you can sit outside. Of course, the margaritas are excellent as well!
Wonderful Food and Service! – My wife and I ate lunch at La Fonda this weekend and it was an excellent experience. Our server, Maria, was very attentive and checked on us repeatedly. The food is not your standard Mexican food but is creative and delicious. We have eaten here one time before and enjoyed it very much then. I highly recommend it.
Good Experience – The food was good, yet the outside patio made the experience completely worth it. While being relaxed and casual, La Fonda still has a touch of class enough to suit the needs of any well dined individual. The location is convenient and parking was simple. I will definitely be back.
Colonial-style Mexican restaurant cooks up unique specialties. – The Scene
Open for longer than most locals have been alive, La Fonda on Main Street is an institution. But while the creaky floors and Monte Vista-in-its-prime building certainly feel old, the menu is as fresh and inventive as that of any recent upstart. A boldly spicy salsa and an entire page of margaritas start the evening perfectly.
The Food
Sure, it has the standard enchiladas, but to really get the flavor of La Fonda, you must try its more creative Mexican dishes. The filete norteno, for example, features a smoky tenderloin, crisp papas and a cheese enchilada draped in a spicy salsa roja. Or go for the roasted poblano relleno, a delectable vegetarian dish that comes with a spinach-and-cheese enchilada that's simultaneously rich and tart. After you end your meal with a creamy slice of tres leches, you'll have no doubt that La Fonda will last another 70 years.

Thursday, April 24, 2014
By Ray Routhier firstname.lastname@example.com
Staff Writer
BANGOR - The Maine Public Broadcasting Network announced it will end the popular nostalgia and music radio show "Down Memory Lane" at the end of November.
Hosted and created by Toby Leboutillier, the show began in 1979, as a fill program for late Friday afternoons. Leboutillier retired from MPBN after 35 years in 2003, and had been producing and hosting "Down Memory Lane" on a volunteer basis.
In a press release Friday, MPBN officials said ending the show is one of several schedule changes being made in response to audience input. "The Diane Rehm Show" will now run an additional day, through Friday, followed by "The World with Lisa Mullins" between 2 p.m. and 4 p.m.
"Toby is one of Maine's radio pioneers and has contributed mightily to the success of MPBN, first as an employee and later as a volunteer," wrote Charles Beck, MPBN's director of television and radio, in the press release. "Toby will always be considered a member of the MPBN family."

Quality education in a Christian setting.
Welcome to a new year in the Southwestern Music Academy.
We look forward to a rich year of making wonderful music together!
The Southwestern Music Academy was established in 2004 upon two goals – the pursuit of excellence and fun in music making! Offering music instruction to ages 2 through adults we believe that it is in learning the skills of excellent music making that we can truly enjoy the gift of music throughout our lives. The Academy offers preschool Kindermusik classes, private instruction in piano, strings, flute, voice, organ, and guitar, and group music theory classes. In 2011 we became one of the first Founding Schools in the U.S.. for the new Royal Conservatory Music Development Program (formerly The Carnegie Hall Achievement Program), a graded study curriculum with yearly assessments whereby a national standard of excellence can be celebrated by all music prep students. And of course there is also our popular annual "Creative Animal Concert" where students and teachers alike dress up in costume for the performance of their "animal" piece!
In addition to weekly private lessons and group theory review classes, our Academy has a full semester of activities planned for both children and also adults– check them out at String Events Calendar and Piano, Organ, Voice and Flute Events Calendar. Housed in the School of Church Music's Cowden Hall, students will be taught and have the opportunity to perform in a top-notch music school facility. Currently in the process of becoming an All-Steinway school, Academy students excel in performing on two new Steinway Concert Grands purchased for our recital hall as well as many new studio pianos – a major success in our goal of becoming an All-Steinway school!
For those beginners wishing to experience string or piano study for the first time, we offer special Intro Classes for children ages 12 and under. Check out our Introductory Classes at Class Offerings and Tuition. Discounts for siblings and Seminary Spouses are also available.
Join us this fall as we embark on a wonderful semester of music making through weekly lessons, artist master classes, recitals, national assessments and more!

The clarity, organization and positive way in which he presented the material, helped me to understand it completely. The lab session and lecture part given by Christine, was great!

Thank you again for a great seminar, looking forward to PT2, PT3, PT4, PT5.Sincerely, Toni Mercogliano, PT
