Ask Mac Questions and Get Answers from Experts ASAP
My MacBook Pro (mid 2009 15" 2.53GHz) gets stuck on blue screen on startup. I upgraded the hard drive from the stock to a Seagate Momentus XT Hybrid drive, and have been going through endless re-installs of OS, restarts, resets, anything I can think of, and I'm back to the blue screen. All I'm trying to do it restore it to a time machine backup on 10.7. I have 10.6 installed right now because I needed to boot from the disk, and the Recovery HD was not showing up because I made the mistake of partitioning the drive as one partition. I've repaired permissions and repaired the disk, nothing has helped. Please help.
Welcome to JustAnswer!I am Pete, and I'll be happy to assist with your question.
What method have you been using to restore from the time machine backup?

Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly continuing in interest this summer for Roma forward Mattia Destro.
The Premier League side have been one of a handful to be linked with making a move for the Italy-capped forward this summer, alongside most notably Wolfsburg.
Even as reports indicate Roma are valuing the 23-year-old at around the €30m mark, Il Messaggero suggest it has not deterred Spurs.
The Rome-based publication indicate that Mauricio Pochettino's side also remain a preferred option over Wolfsburg for Destro, should a suitable offer at Roma's valuation arrive and negotiations begin.

Best Record Miscellanies
In the wild-card era, 66 percent of all teams that have had the best record in their league on any day from May 1 onward have made the playoffs. When the Rays tied the Angels on May 13 for best AL record, it marked the earliest time in the wild-card era that all the teams leading a league after May 1 could not make the playoffs (the other two teams are the A's and Red Sox; because of division alignment, they can't all make it). It's shaping up to be quite a wild year.
Here are the numbers for teams with the best record on or past a certain date and the odds that they made the playoffs in the wild-card era. The seven teams that would be involved in the odds this year are the four AL teams mentioned, plus the Diamondbacks, Marlins, and Cubs. Of course, this is descriptive and not predictive of any chances at October ball, but hopefully it gives some perspective. (I used June 1 for 1995, since it was a month into the shortened season.)
May 1: 66 percent (57/87) May 15: 71 percent (54/76) Today: 74 percent (53/72) June 1: 75 percent (49/65) June 15: 80 percent (48/60) July 1: 81 percent (47/58) July 15: 84 percent (45/54) Aug. 1: 90 percent (45/50) Aug. 15: 93 percent (42/45) Sept. 1: 98 percent (39/41)
Of the 11 after July 1, 5 of those were last year – the Tigers in the AL and the Brewers, Dodgers, Padres, and Mets in the NL. If the Mets hadn't set the record for latest collapse from best record (9/17) to missing the playoffs since 1995, the Padres (9/1) would have.
Whatever team from the AL doesn't make it (assuming only one) would be the tenth AL team in the list. The NL has 21.

Remember when the Boston Red Sox got off to such a horrible start to this season and damn near everyone was writing them off as a failure this season? Well, I guess it's safe to say that the reports of their demise may have been premature after they took over first place Wednesday night with an 11-6 stomping of their chief rival, the New York Yankees.
The win over the Yankees, always treasured by the Boston faithful, is getting to be almost a given this season. The Red Sox has topped New York 7 of the 8 times they have played this season, including all 5 at Yankee stadium. The 5 wins on the road against New York are the most Boston has had in one season since 1912, a season in which they won the World Series.
"We play these guys so much. If you don't play well they're going to beat you," Yankee captain Derek Jeter said. "They've outplayed us. They have a good team. The bottom line is they can hit and they can pitch. They can do a little bit of everything."
Boston was again led by the hot bat of David Ortiz, who homered again to extend his own personal resurgence to 4 home runs in the past 8 games, second vs the Yanks in as many games. This time, however, he did it without the cocky bat flip he used Tuesday that angered Yankee's players and coaches.
"I don't want to be national news tomorrow," Ortiz said when asked why their was no bat-flip after Wednesday's home run. "I don't want to have you guys asking me the same questions. I've got almost 370 bombs in the big leagues. Everybody wants to make a big deal because I bat-flip one of them."
"I mean, it's not my first time, it's not going to be my last time. Big deal. I enjoy the game. I'm a home run hitter. It's not like I do it all the time. It's part of the excitement, you know what I mean? What can I tell you?''
With the win, Boston takes over first place in the AL East, and if their current hot streak is any indication, they have every intention of staying there. The Red Sox have won 4 straight and have won 18 of the past 24 games to reach this spot.

June 22-23, 1910
06-22-1910 Volume OD - Pages 193-196 Reno, Nevada June 22, 1910 The Board of Regents met at its Office at 2 o'clock P.M., on the 22nd of June, 1910, all members of the Board and the Presi- dent of the University being present. President Stubbs read his report, as follows: To The Honorable the Board of Regents University of Nevada. Gentlemen: I have the honor to make the following report up to the 20th of June, 1910: I ask the approval of the Board of Regents for the appointment of John C. Watson to be Assistant Professor of Greek in charge of the Department at a salary of $1800 for the first year, to begin August 1, 1910, in place of Dr. E. Whitney Martin, who has returned to Stanford. In seeking a man for this position, I have corresponded with the Universities of Harvard, Yale, Columbia, Chicago and Princeton. In addition to this corres- pondence, I asked Dr. H. W. Hill to go to Princeton, Cambridge, New York, and Chicago, and make personal inquiries about the various men that had been recommended to us. I have consulted with Dr. Church, who has more interest in this Department than any other member of the faculty. I have received strong recom- mendations of Watson from Professor Albert A. Howard, Department of Classics, Harvard University, Cambridge, and from Professor E. K. Rand of Harvard University. I have a letter herefrom Mr. Watson himself, and it seems convincing that Dr. Watson is the man for us. He combines the personal presence, the scholarly aptitudes, strength in teaching with enthusiasm and energy. I have here the letters from Howard, from Rand, and from Watson, which I will read if you desire. RESOLUTIONS ON THE RETIREMENT OF PROFESSOR HENRY THURTELL In accordance with the instructions of the Board of Regents at their last meeting, I prepared the preamble and resolutions rec- ognizing the services of Professor Henry Thurtell by the Regents of the University, and asked the Secretary of the Board of Reg- ents to send them to him. These resolutions are to be recorded in the minutes of May 24th. The following are the resolutions of the Regents which were sent to Professor Thurtell: WHEREAS, Professor Henry Thurtell, who, for almost 20 years, has been connected with the University of Nevada as Profes- sor of Mathematics and Mechanics, has been called to serve the State in a large and responsible office, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, First: That in accepting his resignation as a member of the teaching force of the University of Nevada, the Regents here- with desire to put on record his long and useful service to the University, his high and unselfish aims, and his abiding influence for everything that stood for scholarship, for good health, and for righteousness to the young men and young women who came under his influence as a teacher, and as a friend. Second: That these Resolutions be spread upon the minutes of the Board of Regents, and a copy sent by the Secretary of the Board to Professor Thurtell. PROTECTION OF BUILDINGS As the Regents are now in session, I would like to ask what they would advise me to do with regard to the proper protection of the University buildings from now until after the Fourth of July. The town will be crowded with all sorts of people, and it would seem advisable to put a watchman in Lincoln and Manzanita Halls and in the Macking Mining building at night. APPOINTMENT TO THE HIGH SCHOOL I recommend for appointment as Professor of Physics, Chemistry and Physiography in the High School, Silas Earle Ross, at a salary of $1000 per year, beginning August 1, 1910. I further recommend the approval of the appointment of Mr. Ross as Assistant to Professor Dinsmore in the Pure Food work during the months of June and July, with a monthly compensation of $75. DEATH OF PRINCIPAL HOWE Professor Herbert H. Howe died on the 31st of May very suddenly at his home in Reno. He was working around in his new home and had evidently gone down below the floor in the bay window to pick up the blocks that were there prior to putting in the flooring in the bay window. In the act of stooping, he was suddently strick- en with heart disease and in all probability expired at once. I was notified right away and took charge of the arrangements for Mrs. Howe. They took him to Carson where the funeral services were held and words were spoken in his honor. He was laid to rest on Friday, June 3rd. His widow will be entitled to his pay during the months of June, July and August. PRINCIPAL OF THE HIGH SCHOOL I recommend for appointment to the Principalship of the High School, Reuben Cyril Thompson, who has been for the last year Associate Principal, at a salary of $1800 per year, beginning August 1, 1910. INSTRUCTOR IN MATHEMATICS Mr. Howe's death leaves a vacancy in the position of teacher of Mathematics. I think we can fill that position with a competent and experienced man at a salary not to exceed $1200 for the first year. MUSIC TEACHER Mrs. Kate C. Wood has resigned the position of teacher of Music in the University, to take effect July 31, 1910. At present we will do nothing about a Music teacher. Respectfully submitted, J. E. Stubbs President Upon motion of Regent Henderson, seconded by Regent Williams, Mr. Watson was elected Assistant Professor of Greek at a salary of $1800 per annum, commencing August 1, 1910, payable monthly, as recommended by the President. Upon motion of Dr. Sullivan, seconded by Henderson, the recom- mendation of the President that Silas Earle Ross be appointed Instructor in Physics, Chemistry and Physiography in the High School at a salary of $1000 per year, and that he be Mr. Dins- more's Assistant in Pure Food work during July and August at a salary of $75 per month, was adopted. Upon motion of Regent Codd, seconded by Regent Henderson, Reuben Cyril Thompson was elected to the Principalship of the High School, as recommended by the President. Upon motion of Henderson, seconded by Williams, the President was authorized to employ such additional help to take care of the University buildings and grounds while the prize fight takes place in Reno as may be necessary. The President was authorized to draw up a letter to be sent to Mrs. Howe by the Regents. The letter follows: Mrs. Herbert H. Howe Carson City, Nevada Dear Mrs. Howe: The Regents of the University desire to express their sin- cerest sympathy with you and your children upon the recent death of your beloved husband and their revered father. While expressing our feelings of sorrow for yourself and family, and the loss of a valuable teacher to the University High School, it will not seem misplaced to assure you that death came to your dear husband as a messenger of peace and good will, both to him and to you. We can apply the history of another aged saint of God, of whom it is said, "He was not, for God took him". In the fullness of years, with near- ly two score years of active service in helping young men and women to see the right and to do their duty by the strong methods of educating their wills and emotions, crowned with the love of his wife and children, and unnumbered hosts of friends throughout this and other lands, God said to him, "You have done enough; come up higher". Be assured that the Regents of the University of Nevada will ever hold in kindest remembrance the years of faithful serv- ice that Mr. Howe has given to the University High School. His place here will never be filled, and the influence that he left here will continue to increase for good as long as this Institution lasts. We again desire to send to you and your children our cordial feelings of sympathy. We have spread this letter upon the minutes of the Board of Regents, and instructed the Secretary of the Board to send a copy of this letter to you. We remain, believe us, Most sincerely yours, The Board of Regents George H. Taylor Secretary No further business appearing, the Board adjourned. John Sunderland Chairman Geo. H. Taylor Secretary

Western Horizons
Yannah Valdevit
Released: 17th Mar, 2013
Label: Tru Thoughts
"'Equilibrium' is a gem… elegantly captivating" – NME
"Awesome…an impressive debut" – 8/10 – DATA TRANSMISSION
"Slinky rhythm, thudding kicks, and pulsing, globular bassline" – Q
"I like it!" – NEMONE (BBC 6 MUSIC)
"Beautiful essence and flow… epicness… will be supporting" – ALLBURY (RINSE FM)
"great voice , great tracks …full radio support. Proper beautiful music as always" – LAURENT GARNIER (LE MOUV)
"Really like it" – MR SCRUFF (NINJA TUNE)
"Western Horizons", out 18th March, is the second single to be lifted from 'Equilibrium', the debut solo LP from Croatian singer, songwriter, producer and pianist Yannah Valdevit, which was released on Tru Thoughts in September 2012. Co-produced by long-time collaborator and mentor (and now label-mate) Zed Bias, the album gained positive reviews and coverage in the likes of NME, Q, Fact, DJ Mag, Data Transmission, Potholes In My Blog, not to mention diverse airplay from BBC 6Music through to Rinse FM.
This single brings to the fore "Western Horizons", a plea for change in the world which strikes a soaring, inspirational note, showcasing Yannah's vocal dexterity and compositional freedom, not to mention skills as a pianist. Much praised in its original incarnation as the closing track on the album, here this sweeping, ambitious song is given its own release. Look out for the official video, which will be premiered online ahead of the release.
The digital package also boasts two brand new tracks, "Brave" and "Empty Heart", shedding light on Yannah's recent studio sessions in collaboration with the Russian producer and songwriter Lay-Far, for a glimpse into a future musical direction.
Yannah takes an inventive approach to song structure, using her voice in unconventional and multi-layered patterns – another instrument in the mix alongside cutting edge beats, jazz inflections, melodic hooks and lush string arrangements. The emotive style nods to the Balearic sound she perfected in a previous incarnation as part of Eddy Meets Yannah (who released three successful albums on Compost between 2003 and 2010). With UK garage and dubstep pioneer Zed Bias (aka Maddslinky) on board for 'Equilibrium', it would be easy to assume the killer basslines and beats were his work; in fact, Yannah – a highly in-demand producer in her own right – built this sound from the ground up. While the man like Bias donated his legendary beat-making skills to two tracks on the album, his main role was to add that magic touch with a nuanced and soulful mix-down at his Manchester studio.
Yannah's life has been immersed in and defined by music, having studied from the age of seven up to degree level; it has taken her from her hometown of Zagreb through Croatia to Europe, the US and Japan. Becoming hooked on jazz as a teenager, she made a name for herself as a singer, from underground projects to televised shows with the Croatian National Big Band. Starting her own acid-jazz band then allowed her to immerse herself in the club culture of the era and approach songwriting and arranging seriously. In the early 2000s Yannah began collaborating with deep house/jazz producers Eddy & Dus, forming Eddy Meets Yannah, whose sun-soaked, house-tinged songs became ubiquitous in the Balearics and beyond. This sparked a new learning curve in which she worked to accrue full musical freedom through gaining credentials as writer, programmer, musician and arranger. In the mid-2000s she met Dave Jones (Zed Bias), forming a fruitful partnership that led to various collaborations and ultimately to the 'Equilibrium' album.

Reading about her struggles with her crib escapee was timely, as I've been having my own sleep-related challenges with Billy (who, in fact, nearly shares a birthday with Courtney's son - we were next-door neighbors in the hospital following their arrival).
Musicians share their stories of how R.E.M. has changed their lives, their music and their community.
I know that R.E.M. is most known for its impact on the "college rock" scene in the early '80s, but what people that live outside of Athens don't realize is that they are still very much active in making this a stronger, more vital community - from helping to protect the smaller local downtown businesses from being run out by bigger corporate ones, to donating to the arts and promoting the local music scene. R.E.M. has always been a band that has not been afraid to give something back. I know I moved here to be a part of this amazing music community, and I would love to personally shake all their hands for what they continue to do for this city and the legacy they have left for all of us.
Huckaby: Officially being old's new to me
It's just a part of living, I suppose. It has to happen sooner or later, but when it does, it's like your dog dying. You knew it was going to happen, but you're still not prepared.

Time to rise

Georgia Theatre screens 'Dreadheads'
Are "dreadheads" - the funky white kids that favor Rastafarian hairstyles and follow the likes of Phish, Phil Lesh and Friends, The Dead and Athens' own Widespread Panic - the cultural progeny of the 1950s beat poets like Kerouac and Ginsberg? Or are they a directionless generation seeking nothing more than the next buzzed-out jam-band show?
Businesses buck ban on smoking
DUBLIN - A year after Georgia forced restaurants to extinguish their smoking sections, the sign outside Chuck and Kay Fordham's diner defiantly invites customers to "Bring Your Butts On In."
Fan letters:

Photographer shares his firsthand views of Sept. 11
NEW YORK - "I'm no historian," claimed Joel Meyerowitz.
R.E.M: The impact
thens City Councilwoman Gwen O'Looney had a lot on her mind that day, standing outside City Hall strategizing with someone about how to stop a local church from closing down a section of a city street as it expanded. So she paid scant attention - at first, anyway - to the long-haired young man sitting near the historic Civil War-era double-barreled cannon at City Hall's northeast corner.

Thompson: Traffic calming needs fiscal management
Stop signs.
Johnson: Story of one 9/11 hero has become part of national folklore
The shock hadn't fully set in. We were so focused on gathering and putting out as much information as possible throughout that September day five years ago, it's hard to remember when we paused to begin to reflect, to grieve.
Pitts: Dear Azzam: No one here wants the Islam you're selling
An open letter to Azzam:
Today is time to keep silence and remember
"We are all Americans." As syndicated columnist Ellen Goodman remembered in her column on the op-ed page in Sunday's newspaper, that headline appeared in the French newspaper Le Monde following the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on the United States.
Winders: Frat 'rocket scientists' need new mission
I have trouble blaming the guy who came up with the idea first. Even one as dumb as this.
Goodman: America an uneasy place this 9/11 anniversary
The milk carton I open this morning bears an oddly pedestrian message: Use by 9/11. I am bemused to see this infamous date in such an ordinary context. Somehow I thought it had been removed from the commercial calendar the way hotels removed the number 13 from their floor plans. By now, surely, 9/11 is more an icon than a date.
Shipp: After four years, Perdue remains a mystery
If the current campaign for governor does nothing else, it may finally answer the question: Who is Sonny Perdue?
Cash necessary for preserving local heritage
It hasn't happened yet, but within the next few days, this newspaper likely will receive any number of letters to the editor bemoaning the potentially dire fate of the ACTION Inc. building on Oconee Street just outside the eastern edge of downtown Athens. The two-story brick building, which housed Athens's first public school for black children, is being sold by the anti-poverty agency, and could fall victim to the wrecking ball.
Optimism building on energy
It was just a short little wire-service item ... headlined, "Ozone layer healing, study says."
"I think history will show him to be the worst president since Ulysses S. Grant. He's been an embarrassment."
Lefty's kick all right
Last week, it was his left foot, but this week, his right did the trick.
Griffin takes Carrollton

All-Star aching into season's end

LaRoche, McCann lead rally
Adam LaRoche and Brian McCann had such a good time beating the Chicago Cubs on Friday that they decided they'd do it again Saturday.
Sharapova sweeps Henin-Hardenne
NEW YORK - Maria Sharapova insists she's more about substance than style, and now she has a second Grand Slam title to prove it.
Who are the real Falcons
Humility is a lesson taught often in the NFL. // Humility comes fast and hits hard, like a blitzing linebacker or a head-hunting safety. An injury here, an unfortuitious bounce there, and even the most talented teams get flushed from contention. // The Atlanta Falcons, a franchise that could have written the humility syllabus in its first 37 years of existence, took a refresher course a season ago. One year after finishing 11-5 and reaching the conference title game, the Falcons went 8-8 and were out of playoff contention with a game to go in the regular season.
The main difference between the 2005 and 2004 Atlanta Falcons seasons is not in this breakdown. In games decided by seven points or less, the Falcons were 6-2 in 2004 but 3-4 last season.
Giants gain a game on San Diego
SAN FRANCISCO - Barry Bonds is certainly making a case for the San Francisco Giants to keep him around past this season.

Smith, 'Tweety' sing a title song
DETROIT - Katie Smith has won Olympic gold, an American Basketball League title and scored 5,000 points in the pros.
Taking checkers, but not chances
RICHMOND, Va. - Kevin Harvick's race team never told him he clinched his spot into the Chase for the Championship after 99 laps of Saturday night's Chevy Rock and Roll 400 at the Richmond International Raceway.
Landis' lawyer wants USADA to drop case
Floyd Landis' lawyer wants U.S. doping authorities to drop their case against the Tour de France winner, contending there were "inconsistencies" in the way the drug tests were handled.

Cormier K's 10 in Braves win
ATLANTA - The pitcher, Lance Cormier, calls it a cutter. The catcher, Brian McCann, calls it a slider.
Rose tops Canadian Open leaderboard
ANCASTER, Ontario - Justin Rose topped the crowded third-round leaderboard in the Canadian Open, shooting a 5-under 65 in ideal scoring conditions on the rain-softened Hamilton Golf and Country Club course.
Atlanta punishes Carolina
CHARLOTTE, N.C. - It's been a while since the Atlanta Falcons have been on the giving end of frustration, not the receiving end.
New faces make a quick impact
CHARLOTTE, N.C. - The new faces on Atlanta's defense made an immediate impact during the Falcons' 20-6 win at Carolina Sunday afternoon.
Swiss star wins third Grand Slam of year
NEW YORK - There might be one athlete in the world who knows exactly how Roger Federer feels as he dominates his peers and gobbles up Grand Slams, so it was fitting that Tiger Woods was sitting in his guest box Sunday for the U.S. Open final.
Dislike runs deep in season opener
CHARLOTTE, N.C. - Late in a meaningless preseason game last month, Carolina's public address announcer identified Marcus Vick as Miami's punt returner.
Isner, Flores to play for southern title
The 2006 men's tennis Southern Intercollegiate Championship winner will come from the Georgia men's squad, as John Isner and Luis Flores both won semifinal matches and will play for the title Wednesday at 3 p.m. at the Dan Magill Tennis Complex.

Camp Creek Township's History
Camp Creek Township is one of the eastern townships, of the three in Pike County on the West Side of the Scioto River. It is bounded on the east side by the Scioto River, on the north by Sunfish and Newton Townships and on the south and west by Scioto County. It has 17,579 acres and is one of the smaller townships.
It was named after the principal stream within its borders, Camp Creek. The creek was so named because a party of surveyors had camped on its banks several times. The early Indians used it for camping, also.
Many Indian arrowheads have been found along its borders down through the years. It is a spring-fed creek, clear and very cold.
The land along the Scioto River and Camp Creek is excellent farming ground, making Camp Creek Township to be considered primarily an agricultural area. The western part of the township is hilly and rough, but well covered with timber, mostly hardwood.
The canal passed through the township near the river for two and one half miles. There is only one small hamlet along the canal in Camp Creek Township, named for a
Mr. COOPER
who had a trading boat on the canal. He stayed for awhile in the southeast corner of the township along the canal and established a store. Later a post office was built using the name
. A good flouring mill was built on the canal, run by water power and quite valuable to the people who lived nearby. It was owned by
Messrs. GWINN
and Son. There were twenty-some people living there at that time.
was the first settler, who came about 1801. He had lived near Lucasville from December 24, 1795.
Camp Creek Township originally belonged to Scioto County, but later became Seal Township. When Pike County was formed in 1815, it was part of Sunfish Township. In 1825, it became a separate township and named Camp Creek Township. There were four school districts with 340 school age children. The school property was valued at $1600.
Township officials for 1839 were: Trustees -
James STARR, Henry DIETERICH and John MERRITT
; Clerk was
and the Treasurer,
Henry STARR.
In 1840 the population was 299; in 1850 - 389; in 1860 - 738; in 1880 - 947.
Henry Chapel, Methodist Episcopal Church was organized in 1863. The church was built in 1876. Membership was forty and the
Rev. MORRIS
was the pastor. Sabbath school is connected with the church and fairly well attended.
Mt. Etna, United Brethren Church was organized in 1874, with the church having been erected in 1877.
Rev. George MORGAN
was the pastor in 1884. Some of the first members were
and their families. The membership is not large, but has grown steadily. The church building is no longer standing but the cemetery is still being used and well cared for.
Chapel, in the eastern part of the township, near the canal and Scioto River was erected in 1848 and used for school purposes for a number of years. It was made of logs, built by the citizens at a cost of about $125.00. It was used for church purposes by both the Methodist Episcopal and the United Brethren Churches. They had a Union Sunday School made up of about twenty members from each church. It is now the Howard United Methodist Church owned by the United Methodist Conference.

Isle of Wight festival: Matt Cardle, Tim Burgess and backstage gossip
As the sun (thankfully) came out to shine on Seaclose Park on Saturday, so did the celebrities.
As the sun (thankfully) came out to shine on Seaclose Park on Saturday, so did the celebrities.
Acts from the Isle of Wight line-up, such as Matt Cardle in his signature headgear, could be spotted wandering around the site checking out the competition and soaking up the welcome rays.Gavin and Stacey star Mat Horne was up bright and early to carry on with his presenting duties, despite spending much of the previous night necking Jägermeister in the VIP bar, while The Charlatans frontman, Tim Burgess invited fans to join him in Le Salon Perdu around lunchtime.Other musicians, not on this year's festival bill, just checking out the musical offerings, included Paolo Nutini and Kelly Jones from The Stereophonics. Looking hot in his signature black leather jacket and a pair of sun glasses, Kelly Jones told Absolute Radio that he was enjoying watching bands at this year's Isle of Wight Festival, as opposed to playing.Unfortunately, and somewhat inevitably, the good weather clearly wasn't set to last, and as Tinie Tempah did his thing on the main stage on Saturday evening, the rain started to fall again with punters quick to throw on their rain macs and put their hoods up.The ever-positive Katy B welcomed the downpour and invited people to come see her in the Big Top instead – and they weren't disappointed, as she rollicked through a covers-filled set, including crowd pleasers from Eurythmics, Robin S, Salt-N-Pepa and House of Pain.
Up to 50 extra police officers from Hampshire Police were drafted in to cope with any disorder developing from more torrential rain and flooding.
Meanwhile, outside the perimeters of the festival – Isle of Wight MP Andrew Turner said organisers should have foreseen the weather problems beforehand. We hope the worst of these conditions is now over and Isle of Wight festival-goers can get on with enjoying the rest of the weekend.

Sydney buyer snaps up rural homestead Kippilaw
A historic homestead in Goulburn once owned by the pioneering Chisholm family has sold for $4.2 million in an online auction.
Kippilaw was the headquarters of the family's rural empire from the mid to late-1800s to the late-1900s.
The well-known property was owned by businessman Robert Rich and his late wife, Helen, who paid about $2.6 million 15 years ago for the holding.
The property sold at the end of a 52-hour online auction this week to an undisclosed buyer from Sydney.
Kippilaw, which is about 50 minutes' drive from Canberra, is an architecturally designed two-storey, six-bedroom homestead set in Italian-style gardens that lead down to the Wollondilly River.
The homestead, which was transformed during the time the Rich family owned the property, has a tennis court, pool and a secluded manager or guest residence.
It also features the old Kippilaw School House, which has been converted into a separate self-contained two-bedroom apartment and is attached to the homestead through a conservatory.
The property had been listed on the market a couple of years ago with expectations of a $6 million-plus price tag.
Meares and Associates principal Chris Meares said while the $4.2 million sale was the highest price in the Goulburn area for the past couple of years it demonstrated the slow market.
"It was good but it reflected the times. The demand for these properties today is limited," he said.
Mr Meares said the typical buyers of such properties had gone through tough times in recent years and did not have the disposable cash to make such purchases.
He said while the home might have gone for a higher price in more favourable economic conditions it was a fair price for both vendor and buyer in the current market.
Mr Meares said while the homestead could have some money-making potential with the running of about 160 cattle it was more of a lifestyle property.
"I think there's always a market for good assets – even in times like this when things are a bit tough," he said.
"It's a landmark property in the region – it's one of the oldest properties south of Sydney."
The online auction attracted four registered bidders.

We're just posting as a public service this new Hardee's ad that was banned by a few TV stations for being too racy. We want you to know exactly what it is, so you can, y'know, change the channel in case you see it come on while you're watching television.
So you should probably study it to make sure you know right when it comes on. Think of the children.
On a totally unrelated note, I really want a hamburger right now.

Jack and the Green Sprouts Recall Sprouts for E. Coli
The owner of Jack and the Green Sprouts, Inc. located in River Falls, WI. has issued an immediate recall of alfalfa and alfalfa onion sprouts due to possible E. coli.
Details of the Jack on the Green Sprouts Recall
The company has released a statement on their Facebook page regarding the recall stating, "Out of abundant caution we are voluntarily recalling alfalfa and alfalfa onion sprouts."
Although the contamination and testing does not directly point at Jack and The Green Sprouts, Health Officials are warning consumers not to consume any alfalfa sprouts that are produced by Jack and The Green Spouts at this time as E. coli can cause serious illness.
According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Jack and The Green Sprouts were packaged inside a plastic clamshell with a colorful round label that displays the variety on top, although some alfalfa sprouts could be mixed with the same package as the other sprout varieties.
Jack & The Green Sprouts distribute throughout the upper-Midwest with the possibility of other states as well. Locations could include grocery/cooperative stores, restaurants, salad bars and commercial food service.
E. Coli Spreads Across Multiple States
The Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) has identified at least seven cases with E. coli O157:NM with two hospitalization. Two individuals in Wisconsin were also infected with the same strain of virus but were not hospitalized.
The FDA is determined to find the source of the outbreak. Minnesota officials and Jack and The Green Sprouts are cooperating with investigators at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Wisconsin Department of Health, the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture and the Trade and Consumer Protection (WIDATCP).
Symptoms of E. Coli
Symptoms of E. coli 0157 usually develop within two to five days after exposure. These symptoms include stomach cramps and diarrhea often with bloody stools, either with a low -grade or no fever. These symptoms may last between one to eight days.
Although some E. coli 0157 infections could lead to something more serious such as hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS), which could ultimately lead to kidney failure or other complications or even death. The most at risk for these type complications stemming from E. coli 0157 are young children under the age of 10 and the elderly those who have weaker immune systems.
Anyone who develops diarrhea that may be associated with E. coli should NOT be treated with anything other than what their health care provider advises or prescribes as doing so could risk developing HUS. Anyone that thinks they may have been infected with E. coli is strongly advised to contact their health care provider immediately.

stayed at this hostel for 3 nights, i got about 3 hours sleep each night because of the music been played down stairs in the pub. tha walls and floor vibrated till 3am every night .the staff didint care when i complained. this hostel is basically a busy pub with a small hostel upstairs. if you want a place to get your head down after a busy day around london i would give st christophers camden a miss.i definately wont be going back.
Hi there. I'm sorry to hear that this hostel was not your cup of tea. Unfortunately, we need the music in the pub downstairs to generate business and usually it's a great spot for travelers to meet new people and have some fun along the way. However, our main focus is indeed on the experiences of our hostel guests. The music is only on Friday and Saturday nights until 2am. Regards, St.Christopher's Inn - Camden

The definitive history of the America's Cup
by Barry Pickthall on 18 Jul 2013
. .
The America's Cup is in chaos. This year's event in San Francisco is looking to be a farcical parade - a shadow of the greatest show on earth promised by Cup holders Larry Ellison and Sir Russell Coutts. In the age of Facebook, they promised to transform the coverage both on the web and on TV and with it bring Superbowl audiences. But with one challenger still in the shed being re-built, the Italians refusing to race until the race jury had ruled in their favour over attempts by the American organisers to railroad through rule changes that might favour their own boat, Team New Zealand has been racing in the Louis Vuitton Challenge trials almost unopposed.
But the Cup has always been brim-full with controversy. Back in 2011, Ellison and Coutts were the white knights who came to rescue of the Cup with their Oracle BMW multihull to defeat Swiss dragon Ernesto Bertarelli, and thwart his plans to make the Cup his own. How quickly white knights change colour! The Cup has always been something of a poisoned chalice, driving men with otherwise unimpeachable records to go well beyond the bounds of sportsmanship in their efforts to win or defend this, the oldest of sporting trophies.
James Lloyd Ashbury, the first to challenge the New York YC in 1870 and again in 1871 finished a broken man in every sense. The Earl of Dunraven who followed, drew the headline 'Britannia Rules the Waves...America waives the rules'. The New York YC certainly came in for a good share of criticism during their 153 year tenure of the Cup...but never more so than in 1983 when Alan Bond and his Australia II team overcame every trick in the book to finally wrench the Cup away from New Yorkers.
Bob Fisher's 2-volume An Absorbing Interest charts the whole story from 1851 until Ernesto Bertarelli bought out the best New Zealand names in yachting to beat the Kiwis at their own game to take the Cup to Europe for the first time. This coveted slip-case edition has become a collector's item as important to the history of the Cup, as Lawson's original 'History of the America's Cup' published in 1901.
'An Absorbing Interest' charts the history of sailing's most enigmatic and greatest prize. This slip-case edition covers the drama, boat design, personalities and sheer fascination of the America's Cup, from 1851 in Cowes to 2003 in Auckland. Heavily illustrated with photographs, cartoons, paintings and figures, This 2-volume bible can rightly claim to be the definitive history.
Just 160 copies remain in this limited edition series, each one numbered and signed by author Bob Fisher.
This classic work contains full records of all races and is made up of 32 Chapters – one for each of the 31 challenges and one for the race around the Isle of Wight in 1851 for the One Hundred Pound Cup, presented by the Royal Yacht Squadron as a prize for the regatta. In addition there are sidebar stories of the principal competitors and incidents that are very much part of this, the world's oldest sporting event.
Lavishly illustrated:
The beautiful illustrations for this book are drawn from a wide variety of sources. There will be charts of the courses for the early races, re-drawn from a variety of sources, line drawings, cartoons and caricatures, etchings, lithographs, paintings and a considerable number of photographs, both monochrome and coloured; all chosen to complement the text.
Book Review - Boat News:
'The modern America's Cup racer bears not the slightest resemblance to any useful craft in the world, and she does not even contribute to the development of yachting as a true sport apart from the satisfaction of an illogical national vanity. But having damned them, I must confess to an absorbing interest in the problems set by those extraordinary craft. They have the fascination of sin.'
So wrote Charles Burgess back in 1935 when the mammoth J Class yachts ruled the waves, to give this remarkable 2-volume opus its name. Little has changed since.
Author Bob Fisher has been a life-long student of the America's Cup and thanks to support from Cup winner Bill Koch, has spent four years researching what is one of the most ambitious yachting publications this Century – and last. It is one of the most successful too, with the first edition selling out within a few months of publication.
The two case-bound volumes provide an enthralling read, and keen insight into the megalomaniacs that have dominated what is the oldest sporting event in the world, their yachts and nuances within every race.
Filled with contemporary art and photographs, painstakingly collected from all quarters of the Globe, this beautifully illustrated book tells the history of top-flight yachting through the past Century and a half. There are equally colourful biographies on the likes of James Ashbury, playboy Gordon Bennett, the dastardly Lord Dunraven, T.O.M Sopwith and latter-day hero Ted Turner.
The chapter 'Court Disorder' describing the build-up and lasting ramifications of the infamous 1988 mismatch between New Zealand's 90ft waterline monohull and the 60ft catamaran 'Stars & Stripes', is particularly relevant to the present. Ernesto Bertarelli, the current Cup holder and his Spanish quislings who have sold their fellow challengers so short, should be locked in a room and forced to read this chapter out loud without a lawyer in sight!
An Absorbing Interest is a collector's tome, a brilliant read and worth every Penny

I already have back ups of this amazing powdered schtuff. I use this after I dry & style as a volume boosting finishing product just at the roots. I don't put it in my hands, I just split my hair apart revealing the scalp and tap some schtuff at the roots, then do the bend-and-snap and fluff up at the roots with my finger tips. I can work it like a Vegas showgirl on a weekend night fluffing a little more & spraying a little at the volumized roots. This is the exact same product as Schwarzkopf Osiris that costs a lot more, and I buy this schtuff at the local drug emporium. My normally very fine slightly wavy hair usually gets all slippery and limp after a blow job, but with this I'm ready for the VS swimsuit catalog hair wise if not in my thighs. Rawr.

Hello All,
We are using Couchbase 2.1.0 enterprise version with Java Couchbase Client 1.1.6 version. Application entirely integrated and supported with Spring and Spring Transaction.
We are unable to figure out the way for handling transaction in Couchbase. As part of one transaction, we have a need to bind MySQL DataSource, Couchbase and JMS resources together. Can you please help us with your inputs to achieve this? Really appreciate your kind help.
Regards, Manjunath
Couchbase, like most of the NoSQL engine, is not transactional (each operation are atomic).
So if you want to be able to manage "transaction" in the context of a distributed/global Tx context you need to do it in your code with "compensation"
We have documented one approach here:http://www.couchbase.com/docs/couchbase-manual-2.1.0/couchbase-views-sample-patterns-transactions.html

Western Australia's biggest pork processor, Craig Mostyn Group, will consider selling a stake in the diversified family-owned agribusiness to third-party investors to fuel long-term growth ambitions.
The diversified agribusiness, based in Perth, has been aggressively expanding in the past few years, including a $20 million deal to buy Jade Tiger Abalone business in Victoria last month.
The company, which owns Linley Valley Pork and processes 98 per cent of Western WA's pork, is eyeing deals across the country as it continues to build scale to boost earnings.
Craig Mostyn Group chief executive
Mr Lock played down the likelihood of a float of the business, but said it was likely that external investors would need to be brought into the business to fund future growth. "Initial public offerings of agri [businesses] tend to be very difficult. They tend to not add value to shareholders," Mr Lock said.
"When I look at our five-year plan it is unlikely that we would seek an IPO in that period of time. But I think an ultimate change away from purely solely family ownership is the most likely way of us raising capital in the long term."
Leverage first
Just one family member, Andrew Mostyn, is involved in the day-to-day operations of the company. The families are reluctant to tip capital into the business but Mr Lock said the company was not currently soliciting third party investment. "The best way for us to add value to our shareholders is to leverage the company first and then, when we have got the earnings up, to seek other capital," Mr Lock said. "Then we would be bringing in other capital to the group when it was at its most valuable." Mr Lock has found competition for assets intensifying as investors around the world look to cash in on Asia's surging demand for food. He wants to make one more large acquisition, worth up to $50 million.
Mining billionaire
Mr Lock had been negotiating with previous Harvey Beef owners Pacific Alliance Group for six months, negotiating an unconditional deal with an agreed price. But two days after the deal was supposed to be finalised he was sent a one-sentence email explaining that the business had been sold to another party.
"I never heard from them again. I didn't even get a phone call. It was extraordinary," Mr Lock said.
Dangerous ground
While he welcomed fresh investment, saying it could improve efficiencies and boost Australia's export potential, it has made buying assets more competitive.
"It's a dangerous playing ground now with a couple of billionaires stomping around," Mr Lock said.
Since Mr Lock joined as chief executive in 2004, he has sold off disparate businesses, including fibre glass roof sheeting and plastic lattice companies, to focus on agriculture. He moved the company's head office from Sydney to Perth, to concentrate on its large pork and rendering assets.
"The initial strategy was to reduce turnover and increase profit," Mr Lock said. "We shed a lot of businesses. The turnover has been reasonably static until the last few acquisitions we have made in the past year."
Turnover has risen from about $280 million to $350 million. Mr Lock wants to grow the company's return on equity from 14 per cent to 18 per cent.
He said the business could reduce earnings volatility by varying investments within the agriculture sector, highlighting its pork processing business and its rendering operations were counter cyclical.
"As we make acquisitions we look to try and find businesses that have different risks," he said.
Mr Lock said the nation's agriculture industries should not repeat the mistakes of the mining industry by simply producing commodities for export.
"My view of meat processing in particular is that we need to focus on the domestic market and value add as much as we can here rather than exporting commodities," Mr Lock said.
"While I accept that the live export business is an important part of Western Australia's agriculture, I would much prefer to see us ultimately get to a point where all of those animals are processed onshore. We should create jobs, create value in Australia and then the value added product is exported."
He said this should be the nation's ambition as developing countries improve their supply chains.
