Apple has just released iOS 7 beta 3 to developers. It's available both as an over the air (OTA) download and, if past is prologue, it'll be available soon from Apple's developer web site (assuming, of course, you're a registered iOS developer).
Apple's public information about iOS 7 beta 3 indicates bug fixes and improvements. iOS 7 is covered under Apple's Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) with registered developers as Apple prepares its release to the general public this fall. Registered developers should check the release notes before updating.
i'm downloading now. i guess i will sign back on and comment later.
I have beta 2 but am not a devloper will it still work for me
Depends on how you got Beta 2. If your UDID is registered as an Apple Development device, then you should be able to do the OTA. Otherwise, no, I wouldn't risk it as it is only meant for developers anyway.
At least apple follows the calendar
it seems more responsive, the fonts in messages conversations seem bolder and the status bar on lock screen is bigger/easier to read
As soon as iOS 7 is stable enough, I'll run out and get a low-end iPod touch (5th gen) just for testing. So I won't ever need to put any beta version of iOS on my personal iPhone 5. Could be pretty soon, from what I'm hearing.
Hello, can I talk to you personally? I have a question. I'm 13 without a developer account, can u please register my UDID?

Seems like the iPhone 4 lost a lot of the visuals (parallax, blur) in this update, according to the change log..
This is project beautification on Beta 3 of iOS 7 - the font look a bit thicker and (subjectively) prettier !!!
The crashing has stopped (mercifully)
The animation look nicer.
The notification center UI is better - slightly... The calander app is doing what is hould do .... nice over all !!!!
Will update my iPad and get back on the forum !!!
here is the absolute full list of changes with the new update http://www.amongtech.com/ios-7-beta-3-is-available-now/
Appears to have bricked my iPhone 5 doing an upgrade from beta 2. Phone will not turn on, or do anything. Joy...
Where is everyone downloading it from? I can't find it anywhere.
If OTA doesn't work, download the update from another site and on iTunes option-click update. Find the update files and voila, your device is updated to the newest beta.please visit it
so if i update my 4s it wont be get bricked in anyway? even if a new beta comes out for some reason? im not a developer
It's looking absolutely amazing! Just look at it! - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EChbv_1MfaE
If you don't have a dev account don't do it... Or have a dev register your UDID... That's what I did....
Siri and Notifications is solid black and white. Control center is solid grey and white.
Two noticeable bugs that still need fixing after downloading on my iPad:
1. Restore button on all three iWork suite apps does not hold, and becoming a problem to sync docs from iCloud.
2. After closing all open apps, if I tap on the home screen after doing so my home screen saver becomes black.
Newly updated or new apps have a tiny blue dot before their name. I am assuming that they have this to indicate the automatically updated apps and that there are new changes to aee
ok, this is what i have found.. keep in mind, these are my own personal bugs, that i have found.
1- dont have to sign into icloud all of the time anymore beta 2 fix
2- sometime when i was typing it was entering random letters.. i think this is ok" for now
3- at times when i go into my photos it all blacks out
4- still NO calendar list in notification center, or 5 day quick view weather
5- cant view all day events in notification center must open app to do so
6- twice now the status bar time, battery, service etc has got stuck on the right side of the screen
7- if you use the iphone twitter app and you get a alert (or if you have it set to alert when someone tweets) you dont get a preview in the status bar notification center (when your phone us unlocked and you are not in twitter)
8- i took my phone off charger at 5:09 pm, and it is 9:06pm and the battery is at 23... (with normal usage as i would any other day)
9- i beleive i just left twitter open and my phone locked, but my lock screen was whatever screen i was on in twitter (totally random)
a big fix (for me), when my phone would die, and id plug it back in and go to unlock it, the phone was unresponsive.. i had to force shut it down 2-3 times.. this seems to be fixed..
doesnt seem to freeze
#'s 4, 5 & 8 are REALLY important to me.. and yes I UNDERSTAND THIS IS BETA AND THERE WILL BE BUGS.. but why they can fix these 3 things in 3 betas is beyond me.. unless apple is totally taking these features out, which is bogus because its a pain to open the calendar to see all day events, as well as to open a weather app..
Can i do the ota update? Im not a developer but i got ios 7 beta 2 and my phone got the software update thing, if i update will my phone be rendered useless or will it work? Thanks in advanced :)
I really don't see ANYthing innovative. I guess I'll keep my iPhone 5 until I see "real" improvements/innovation. I won't dare go back to android.

R.A. Dickey unhappy with Mets' contract talks
NEW YORK – Ho-ho … oh no.
Speaking to reporters at the team's holiday party for schoolchildren Tuesday morning, Mets pitcher R.A. Dickey painted a dispirited portrait of contract negotiations. Among the bombshells Dickey dropped:
He is upset with the pace of negotiations.
He feels slighted by the dollar figures the Mets have offered.
He likely will walk after the season if the team asks him to play out his contract without an extension.
"I feel a real connection to this place," said Dickey, standing inside the Acela Club at Citi Field. "But at the same time, you don't want to be taken advantage of."
After watching other pitchers – lesser pitchers – sign for big money this off-season, Dickey suspects the Mets are trying to take advantage of him.
"I feel like we're asking for even less than what's fair," Dickey said. "There is a surprise sometimes when things don't get done quickly and you already think you're extending the olive branch."
Dickey (20-6, 2.73 ERA in 2012) won the National League Cy Young Award less than a month ago. The Mets picked up Dickey's $5 million option for 2013 earlier this off-season, but Dickey made it clear Tuesday he would be upset if the team made him play out that contract. Even general manager Sandy Alderson conceded choosing that route would not be "optimal" for either side.
"I feel like it would be unfortunate," Dickey said, "because that's probably going to mean I'm not going to be back. That would be sad."

They have projected the message that millions of law-abiding gun owners make it through every day without murdering someone, a valid point. So why would they attack an industry that serves millions of law abiding video-gamers who also make it through the day without killing another peron?

"I love it. The Forerunner is the new I-Pod for runners."
You can go for a run on a whim and not worry about getting back home. The GPS takes you back to start. I had the NIke Plus application that hooks up to your I-POD - but the Forerunner 405 has better cal/HR/MPH etc.. and I can wear it with Asics:)
It takes a little getting used to. I recommend reading the manual and watching the demonstration video on www.garmin.com
For the novis runner or jogger - this is a great tool. For the hard core outdoor fitness enthusiast - the forerunnner 405 is a must buy.

Like many Washingtonians, columnist Petula Dvorak of the Washington Post is upset with the partial shutdown of the federal government.
"Washington is a place where hundreds of children couldn't play soccer this past weekend; where cafeteria workers, janitors and secretaries aren't getting paid for who knows how long; where buses and subway trains run empty; where shoe shine guys sit idle; and where Girl Scout troops had to cancel annual camping trips," Dvorak wrote.
She blamed the people who elected the 535 members of Congress for this.
"America, you sent these guys here," Dvorak wrote.
"They represent plenty of you, none of us. That imported brand of cuckoo is what's causing this government shutdown."
Of course she is upset. Outsiders are trying to shut down her town's largest employer.
Just like the federal government is trying to shut down coal in Boone County, W.Va.
After their own brush with losing their jobs temporarily, because of outsiders, maybe a few bureaucrats will understand better the plight of coal miners, their families, their car dealers and others who rely on the much maligned coal industry for a living.
On Sunday, "60 Minutes" showed how the Social Security Disability Insurance system is awarding disability checks to people who are not disabled.
The news show rightly came down on David B. "D.B." Daugherty, whom administrators allowed to retire as a disability judge in the wake of a Wall Street Journal investigation in 2011 that exposed him as a rubber stamp.
In 2010, Daugherty decided 1,284 cases and awarded benefits in all but four.
In the first six months of 2011, he granted benefits in all of his 729 decisions.
But no one should think his 31 former colleagues in West Virginia are just as easy in awarding disabilities worth an average of $300,000 each.
In fact, in the past year, the 31 judges approved 4,777 appeals and disapproved 4,497 - for a denial rate of 48 percent.
That tops a national average of 44 percent in disapprovals.
Disability claims skyrocketed in the Obama presidency, but actuaries say the fund that supports these payments will be broke in five years.

For months, you've been sending out resumes, filling out online applications and waiting, waiting, waiting.
And just when you think all hope is lost, like a bolt of lighting from the sky, you land that ever-elusive interview.
There's nothing more exciting and confidence-boosting in a long job-hunt than landing an in-person interview. Finally, you have a chance to take center stage in front of your potential employer and show off your true personality, knowledge and talents.
But how you come across in this critical part of a job search depends on how well you prepare, so it's key to use your time wisely beforehand to ensure you aren't left sweating under the collar and scrambling for the right words.
Be ready to sell yourself. Instead of just talking about your work history, be prepared to present your achievements as challenges overcome or problems solved, noting what you did when something went wrong or needed to be fixed. Know how to quantify your career success using dollar amounts, percentages, and other specific details to present your value.
Be ready to ask, not just answer, the right questions. Often the questions you pose in a job interview can be just as significant as the questions you answer. Not asking questions can demonstrate disinterest in the company and the position.
Go into the interview with some thoughtful questions that demonstrate both your knowledge of the company and the industry, as well as your enthusiasm in learning more and advancing your skills, says Robert Hosking, executive director of OfficeTeam, an administrative staffing firm.
"Job seekers can set themselves apart by asking intelligent questions about the company and the position," Hosking says. "Before interviews, candidates should thoroughly research the employer and come up with questions that show interest in and knowledge of the organization."
Don't ask questions on topics such as compensation, benefits and vacation time until the employer has expressed serious intent on offering the job.
"It's also useful to pose questions that will shed light on the corporate culture and what it takes to be successful in the role," he says.
Professionalism still counts. While many workplaces have eased their rules for employee attire, it's important to project a polished look in an interview. Hiring managers usually size up a candidate in the first few minutes, so you don't want their focus to be on your un-tucked shirt or open-toed sandals. Always dress professionally and err on the conservative side when picking an outfit.
Before you head into an interview, be sure to turn off your cell phone or leave it somewhere safe outside the room, says Matt Eventoff, a communications professional and owner of Princeton Public Speaking.
"Glancing at your phone, texting, taking a call, etc., all sends the message that the phone is more important than the person you are talking to," Eventoff says.
In addition, small steps like handing out a personalized business card or sending a short thank-you note or email shortly after the interview can go a long way toward leaving a good impression.
Don't be too "exposed." If you're asked to come in for an interview, it's safe to assume your online profiles are being scoured for red flags. Having unflattering photos of yourself on Facebook or Twitter or writing an overly critical blog post about a former employer can quickly kill your chances of getting a job offer.
You never know when an interview opportunity will arise, so it's vital to keep your public online presence as professional as possible.
Don't be late! Sure, this seems obvious, but you don't want to be among those who have blown a big opportunity simply by arriving a few minutes late for an interview. Make sure you adequately clear your schedule and have reliable transportation to get you there at least several minutes early.
Reach out for help, advice. Networking is one of the most important aspects of landing a job, so don't hesitate to reach out to friends, family and former co-workers and bosses when preparing for a job interview.
They might be able to offer a helpful tip or, if they happen to know someone at the hiring company or work in the same industry, even offer a personal recommendation.
"The reality is you never know who holds the key, or knows the person, who may be the most helpful to you," Eventoff says.

Deutscher Dom, Berlin
The Deutscher Dom (German Cathedral) is one of two former churches on the Gendarmenmarkt in Berlin, Germany.
Designed by architect Martin Grünberg, the main body of the church was built in 1708 by Giovanni Simonetti. In 1785, Carl von Gontard modified the church and added the domed tower.
The cathedral was completely destroyed by fire in 1945, during World War II. Following German reunification, the cathedral was rebuilt (1993) and reopened (1996) as a museum of German political history.
What to See
Located at the southern end of the Gendarmenmarkt, the Baroque-style church consists of a pentagonal structure with a classical portico, topped with a tall dome. Inside, the first three floors document the rise of democracy in Germany since the 1800s. An English audio guide is provided. The fourth and fifth floors host temporary exhibitions (with no audio guide).

Menlo Park man commits suicide in Baylands

My nephew's father-in-law witnessed the suicide - the elderly man came up to him to ask him to dial 911 then walked away and pulled the trigger.
The witness tried in vain to call 911 for twenty minutes before getting thru -- busy signals then transfered from East Palo Alto to Palo Alto police -- then the police couldn't find them -- in all it too almost one hour before the police arrived.
Shouldn't our 911 system work better than this? What if someone were in danger, or could have been saved. My friend reports that the police did an excellent job once they arrived.
Michele Slow 911 Response, a resident of the Midtown neighborhood of Palo Alto
on May 24, 2008 at 12:42 pm
Here is the deal...when you use a cell phone to call 911 it goes to Vacaville CHP dispatch. Then they, from there, have to try to figure out what jurisdiction it is in and the appropriate agency to call. Everyone should program the local PD telephone numbers into their cell phone or call information and be transferred to the agency where you are. The delay was not the fault of the responding agency. The reason for the long hold is all cell phone 911 calls go to this center. Some idiots use 911 to ask for directions or to simplly call in NON EMERGENCY calls. Everyone should respect 911 for what it is...for EMERGENCIES ONLY. Hope this clears it up for you Michele.
on May 25, 2008 at 7:25 am
A great idea for everyone is to have their local (and perhaps even surrounding city) police dept # programmed into your cell phone for faster response. It is the unfortunate truth that calling 911 from your cell often takes too long to be of any immediate help.
on May 26, 2008 at 5:08 pm
It's a great idea. Program in the police dispatch numbers for the places you work, live or frequent. I live and work in Menlo Park, but my home is in unincorporated West Menlo, so I have the San Mateo County Sheriff's number as well as the Menlo Park police in my cell phone.

Kitchen Before & After: Anna's Metal Tile Mosaic Makeover
Reader Kitchen Remodel
Anna shares the process with us in her own words:
We live in a cookie-cutter, 1978 Split-Entry home in Portland (Tigard), Oregon. This low to moderate cost redo of a 10' x 16' space has given this home some character...finally!We removed the kitchen wall to open up the kitchen-living room-dining room. We used Alder stained cabs w/ Silestone Zirconium on the perimeter, and Maple - Moss on the island w/ Silestone Lyra.
Wood-copper / white-aluminum / black-gun smoke black aluminum / green is the color palette, a bit unusual since we violated the law of three's and went with four, including mixed cabs and counters. We also put our oven/cook top on the island as most prep and cooking go side by side, again, not always conventional. And, we have a bi-level island - not the first choice for many. However, these choices work perfectly as we wanted some distinction between the kitchen and the rest of the open area and we get that through the distinct island and choice of colors.
I became mesmerized by all things metal tile mosaics, hand assembling the first 6" of perimeter back splash, and then using 12x12 metal mosaics up the rest of the back wall. On the island, we used a copper metal tile mosaic, that ties it to the rest of the perimeter. We were going for a transitional modern craftsman, and have loved how the metal tiles push it more towards warm than 'metal industrial.'
We worked within a budget by not changing the appliance footprint (too much), hunting down the last five boxes in the world, practically, of the wood flooring used in the rest of the upstairs, and using moderately priced, rather than professional grade, appliances (KA fridge and dishwasher; GE induction stovetop - LOVE it!). We also saved on cabs by working with a big box store catching year end deals and working with same-as-cash 18-month loans. We found that route cheaper than custom, and especially nice given many cab makers can't offer such arrangements. And, our wall was not load bearing.
Our contractor replaced all window coverings with Alder, stained Macaroon, the same as the cabs.
Thanks, Anna!

I love it, especially the mosaic tile! The sun will catch so beautifully.
Absolutely beautiful!
Fabulous! I love the cabinets...you did an amazing job. :)
so jealous. we looked at metal tiles but they were crazy expensive. like +$30 per 2 inch tile.
Thanks everyone.
Polyformdesign, yes, those hand-crafted tiles are crazy expensive. So when I found metal mosaic 12x12" sheets between $10-25 per sheet - even though spendy - we found a way to use the metals. I'm seeing more metal bs items in tile stores, but online vendors still have the best prices and greatest selections.

A pet peeve of mine about the way news is reported
, 12th April 2010 at 03:46 AM (937 Views)
This is something that's been bothering me for quite a while.
Why don't people seem to know the difference between a scan and an image taken with a digital camera?
I see so many people calling the Black & White images "scans" despite the fact that they clearly aren't.
Do people honestly not know the difference?

NFPA Journal®, May/June 2008
The use of nonmetallic pipe in fire sprinkler systems is fairly modern, but there have been several distinct eras involving different types of products. As manufacturers of some types of nonmetallic piping seek broader acceptance, others are working to ensure the use of best practices for installation and use.
The first nonmetallic material listed for use in fire sprinkler system pipes was polybutylene, a flexible piping product joined by a heat fusion technique that came onto the scene in 1983. It showed great promise, but within a decade, failures in plumbing systems led to a class action lawsuit and the end of polybutylene fire sprinkler piping.
The most recent nonmetallic sprinkler piping product, cross-linked polyethylene (PEX), was first accepted in 1999, but only for use in combined sprinkler and plumbing systems for dwellings to which NFPA 13D, Installation of Sprinkler Systems in One- and Two-Family Dwellings and Manufactured Homes, applied. Because the PEX doesn't have the same pressure capability at elevated temperatures as previously listed nonmetallic sprinkler piping, the Technical Committee on Residential Sprinkler Systems decided that a reduced pressure rating would be allowed if limitations and the use of the domestic water system precluded exposure to high sprinkler system pressures. As the 2010 edition of NFPA 13D is being prepared, one of the issues facing the technical committee is whether the connection of a single domestic fixture to the sprinkler system, a concept the committee has named a "passive purge" system affords the same protection.
Chlorinated polyvinyl chloride (CPVC) sprinkler pipe followed the original polybutylene listing by about two years, and has been successful since it was introduced. Manufacturers report that more than a billion feet of CPVC sprinkler piping have been installed in applications complying with NFPA 13D and NFPA 13R, Installation of Sprinkler Systems in Residential Occupancies up to and Including Four Stories in Height applications and in light hazard NFPA 13, Installation of Sprinkler Systems, applications. Even with a product this established, CPVC pipe and fittings manufacturers seek to prevent problems by cooperating to standardize installation instructions, warning labels, and other aspects of use.
The biggest concern is product compatibility. Lubrizol Corp., formerly Noveon®, Inc., has had a chemical compatibility approval program in place for its BlazeMaster® CPVC piping for several years. The program mainly addresses ancillary items such as thread sealants and antifreeze solutions, but it also includes insulation materials, seismic separation assemblies, and flexible drops, more than 50 products in all. BlazeMaster's website, www.blazemaster.com, also lists nearly 50 unacceptable products.
The main concern is the potential for environmental stress cracking over time. These compatibility issues must be recognized by general contractors, other trades at the work site, authorities having jurisdiction, property owners and maintenance people, and fire sprinkler contractors.
All nonmetallic piping products have come into the NFPA sprinkler standards as special listed products. Successful special listed products such as CPVC have gradually been addressed more generically over the years. Although most new compatibility issues relate to the use and handling of materials at the job site, engineers and technicians should follow best practices when specifying CPVC and other nonmetallic piping products and when acknowledging the use of such products in combination with building interfaces.

Why Wizards Switch To Blu Cigs, Our Review
3 Feb
More and more people are making the switch to Electronic cigarettes every day. They are finding the truth behind this really great alternative to smoking where they can say goodbye to all the hazardous chemicals traditional cigarettes have as well as the bad odor and ashes it brings. One brand that is growing bigger and bigger is Blu ecigs. Blu is one of the leading electronic cigarette brand around known for its high quality and sleek designs as well as its trademark Blu led light tip. "Blu cigs at the end of the second quarter were available in 30,000 retail outlets and held a 49% share of the domestic market. Sales of blu cigs totaled $177 million for the first nine months of last year." - DailyFinance
While each person has his or her own reasons why they switch from traditional cigarettes to Blu e-cigarettes, here are the most common reasons to switch.
More Freedom: One of the most sellable points of Blu e-cigs is that it doesn't burn anything and just emit water vapor. Therefore, without smoke, you can light up one in public places such as the Hospital, Library, Office, Malls, Airports and other public areas. You also don't need to go out of a Non-Smoking bar or club just to get your dose of nicotine. now you can smoke while you drink with Blu electronic cigarettes.
Varieties, Choices and Customization Power: Unlike traditional cigarettes, Blu ecigs boast a lot of varieties and choices from the type of batteries you will use to the flavors you would like to smoke (cherry, java, vanilla, peach schnapps and more). You can also choose your accessories as well as the color of your Blu e-cigs. One can customize their own Blu ecigarettes according to their personality and taste. Traditional cigarettes would never have the power of the flavors, the colors and the style, in short the personalized experience.
Better for Mother Earth: Since Blu electronic cigarettes do not having elements that burn, there are no filters or butts to throw away (which takes time to decay) eliminating the garbage pollution around the world. It also does not have smoke that is full of harmful substances but only vape which does not add up to air pollution.
No Offensive Odor and Dirty Ashes: What I hate most about traditional cigarettes is the odor and the ashes. It sticks in your car, in your clothes and it cant be removed easily. Blu cigs on the other hand only emits water vapor, instead of smoke, therefore there are no odor and no ash.
Better Networking: They say that smoking itself is a networking experience.

Quickly Find Your Site Duplicate Content Issues
Google hates duplicate content, not only the one that involves content plagiarism but also absolutely innocent one, when identical content occurs due to the site broken information architecture or CMS.
The worst part of that is that you might be totally unaware of the issue because this may be about "partial duplication", e.g. identical titles.
So, here are two simple ways to find identical titles throughout your site:
1. Crawl your site with Xenu and sort the URLs by title:
2. Verify your site with Google Webmaster Site Tools, wait a few days for it to collect the data, navigate Diagnostics => Content Analysis and make sure you have no duplicate titles there:
Any other ways to check for duplicate content? Share them!

Well, this also leads to find the so-called "keyword canibalization", when people try to optimize the same keywords on many many pages.
Nice SEO tip!

March 27th, 2009 at 4:20 pmLet me try to guess what you are hinting at…
GSiteCrawler offers it up under Statistics > Duplicate content. Easiest way I know to get an additional glimpse of what's going on and it's reliable. I also like webconf's Similar Page Checker to see just how alike two pages really are.
Always use the old trusted xenu.
Google is another usefull tool, as I normally look at the pages indexed in google with the tools in webmaster tools.
This shows you the pages in the "natural" enviroment, and it's easy to spot duplicate content issues and other issues with meta descriptions, titles …

I really really wish there was a web-based thing that could do what Xenu does. I'm using Mac OSX – are there any alternatives for me?
How much of an impact does duplicate titles really make?
Duplicate content is definitely a problem but I try to stay clear of that especially when writing content for a website but it never hurts to double check it so it isn't picked up by google and penalized, which effects the performance of the site.
We also use xenu and run osx too – just get crossover and it runs perfectly.
You could always run it in a virtual environment like fusion, but crossover does the trick nice and quickly.

Xenu is really good tool for find duplicate title tag. I use copyscape for duplicate content checking.

I'll check it out duplicate content of my site in Xenu and webmaster tool. Thanks for helpful information.
Thanks for the info… I use xenu in conjunction with keywordspy and Traffictravis
Sorry to comment on such an old thread, but I have a question relating to dupe content…
I have a client I'm working with who has several hundred websites all with v similar content, and need to get each site indexed. Each website is for a different branch of theirs (in different geographic regions). Each is on a subdomain linking back to the main domain. There is no way to get them to change the bulk of the content on each subdomain (an info resource section).
I've suggested adding content relevant to each region alongside the duplicated content (local news etc), making sure the regional address is on each page and making sure each title tag and description is written uniquely.
Anyone else have any suggestions?
I use Google Webmaster for all this duplicate files/titles in my website. it`s easy and fast, and the best part is that google shows you where is your mistake
JR, is understands this gig..
Thank you! I did not notice this problem before, now know
the original article was informative and has become more usefull while reading the comments. Thank you guys

Word came at 9:55 P.M. to the Chinle, Arizona, office of an air ambulance service that a patient needed transport from Alamosa, Colorado, 192 nm
to the east-northeast. Forty minutes later, a King Air C90 with a pilot, a paramedic and a nurse aboard was airborne. It never arrived. The airplane struck a ridge 37 nm west of Alamosa; all three occupants died.
The outlook called for scattered clouds at 8,000 to 10,000 feet agl, a broken layer at 12,000 to 14,000, widely scattered light rain showers and isolated thunderstorms, with no warnings for mountain obscuration.
The 46-year-old ATP made a couple of careless mistakes at the start of the flight. He identified himself to Denver Center with the callsign of one of the company's other King Airs, and he told his dispatcher, a minute after getting airborne, that his time en route would be 20 minutes.
Checking in with Denver for VFR flight following, as company rules required, the pilot first climbed to 13,500, then descended to 11,500, then climbed back up to 13,500. The terrain elevation over the first half of the route, across the high desert of northern Arizona and New Mexico, is around 6,000 feet; it is unlighted except for widely scattered towns and a few lightly traveled roads. The moon had set hours earlier, and the darkness was almost complete.
Forty minutes into the flight, Denver Center gave the pilot a frequency change. Coming up on the new frequency, the pilot reported that he was "on the descent into Alamosa." The controller gave him the altimeter setting. The pilot then asked for "the minimum vectoring altitude out here." The controller asked him to repeat the request. "What is the MSA [minimum safe altitude] out here, do you know?"
The controller still did not understand. "I guess I'm just not understanding what you're saying," he said. "Either I'm really tired ... you're talking a little fast; slow her down for me a little, will ya?"
"I'm actually new into Alamosa," the pilot replied. "Just wondering what the minimum descent altitude was out here."
The controller, finally understanding the pilot's confusingly worded request — minimum safe altitude, minimum vectoring altitude and minimum descent altitude are three different things — told him that the MIA (minimum IFR altitude) for the area he was in was 15,000 feet. He added that he would be "cutting across the corner" of an area where the MIA was slightly higher — 15,300 feet — before it started to drop toward Alamosa, where the field elevation is 7,539 feet. After explaining that the flight would be passing through four different MIA areas, the controller told the pilot that he was now "getting ready to enter the 15,300 minimum IFR altitude area." The pilot acknowledged and, at around this time, began to descend from 13,500 feet. The last radar hit, a minute and nine seconds later, reported a Mode C altitude of 11,700 feet. An instant after that, the King Air struck an 11,930-foot ridge, sliding uphill as it disintegrated and caught fire. The 900-foot debris path ended just below the crest of the ridge.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Here we are with a brand-new slate -- 363 new days to come. It's the time we look at the year in review -- and the year in preview.
Some of you are making New Year's resolutions. Some have let this tradition go. And others may be trying to focus on just what you want out of 2011.
Check this out. The words "creation" and "reaction" have the same exact letters in them. If we can hold the thought at all times that our lives are either a creation or a reaction, we can continually remind ourselves to be creating, rather than just drifting along, according to Steve Chandler, author of "Reinventing Yourself."
Many of us can spend whole days reacting without even being aware of it. We wake up reacting to the news on the clock radio. Then we react to feelings in our body. Next, we start reacting to our spouses or children. Soon we get in the car and react to traffic, honking the horn and using sign language.
Once at work, we see an e-mail on our computer screen and react to that. We react to insensitive customers or co-workers who are intruding on our day. During a break, we react to a server at lunch.
This habit of reacting can go on all day, every day, if we're not careful. We become goalies in the hockey game of life, with pucks flying at us constantly.
There's another way of approaching life, though. You can design your own life game plan, and let the game respond to you, rather than the other way around. Sure, we all have to be open to contingencies. That's just it, though. Those can be the exceptions, rather than the rules.
Bill Walsh, the late former head coach of the San Francisco 49ers, was viewed as eccentric because of how extensively he planned his plays in advance of each game, according to author Chandler. While most coaches have plays in mind and wait to see how the game unfolds, Walsh would pace the sidelines with a big sheet of plays that his team was going to run, no matter what. He wanted the other team to respond to him.
While his approach was quite unorthodox, Walsh won his share of Super Bowls. And all he did was act on the crucial difference between creating and reacting.
When your life itself becomes the subject matter of the creative process, a very different experience opens up to you, one in which you are involved with life at its very essence, says author, composer and filmmaker Robert Fritz. Fritz, who says we can create our lives just as we compose a song, write a book or create a film, offers an online course in "Creating Your Life" and an e-book titled "Your Life as Art."

'Casino Jack and the United States of Money' Infuriates While it Entertains

Great KeyboardPros: Wireless, spillproof, lightweight, simple, price and it works Cons: none Other Thoughts: I just the other day had to replace the batteries that came with it after owning for over a year..now looking to purchase a second for another build. Did you find this review helpful? |
Ok, but stutteredPros: - Cheap Cons: - Mouse seemed to "studder" as if the CPU were overtasked, jumping all around the screen Other Thoughts: - Fixed keyboard and mouse issues using logitech devices. Did you find this review helpful? |
Questionable rangePros: Compact wireless transceiver, ergonomic, compact functional keyboard Cons: Bad range. The tramnsceiver is ~3.5 feet from the keyboard through a wood desk. When playing games (for FPS this is especially a problem) mouse connectivity will drop in and out and POV will freak out. Keyboard will loose connectivity too and get stuck running or strafing. Other Thoughts: Fine for day to day activities, not the best for gaming. Did you find this review helpful? |
I love this keyboard!Pros: low power consumption Cons: as of now none! Other Thoughts: This keyboard and mouse works great.. the wireless usb adapter is so tiny you might loose it so just keep it plugged in and you wont. the signal is great and the typing just flows as if it is a wired keyboard. the keys are easy and soft to touch type... I love this keyboard and when my friends come over to game they ask how much I paid for it and they don't believe me. I have bought similar wireless sets at $60 a pop.. this is defiantly a great value for the money. I am using it more than my logitech wireless that cost 5 times more. you can't go wrong with this setup.. just get one :) Did you find this review helpful? |
FlimsyPros: Cheap Cons: Cheaply made. This thing collapses to the desk when you type on it. Every key I hit the thing would cave in in the middle. I'm returning this cheap flimsy thing immediately. Did you find this review helpful? |
Woo orks grrrrat!Pros: Oh I jujujujust love eee this keyboard!!!!!! !! ! It neverrrrr gives mememe problems at all! n fact, I am tyyypin g this rerereview w ith it an d you caaann see just how well the receiver works! It is just fantassstic and do not know wat I would do without ititit! Cons: Ever now and then, the sisisisisissgnal gets fudged up and the receier registers mmmmm mmm m ultiple keystrokes when there were none. OCCASIONALLY, it will miss a letter s well. It also SOMETIMES just stttarts repea eaeaea ting the last few keystrkes that you make. Don't worrry though. It doesn't happen often ;) 6 out of 6 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Eggcellent ValuePros: *Responsive Cons: Must turn mouse off manually when not in use to prevent battery drain. Other Thoughts: I have this set up for use with a HTPC. The PC itself is in the adjacent room, and I have a long USB cable running under the couch in the theater room, where the wireless dongle is plugged in. With this setup, reception has been flawless, and I can even use this set to play Minecraft and TF2 on the big screen. Did you find this review helpful? |
It WorksPros: Plugged it in and it worked immediately, both in Windows 7 and in Ubuntu 12.04. Light weight. Cons: The underside of the mouse has a slot to hold the USB receiver. The USB receiver fits into it fine, but it doesn't appear to be real secure. It doesn't 'snap' in, it just sits there apparently held in place magnetically. It easily comes out when I pull on it. In fairness, when I turn the mouse upside down it remains in place but I fear if I were to toss the mouse into my case it would become dislodged and I would have to hunt for it (it's pretty small). Quite frankly, I would rather have it snap in securely which would give me more confidence of not accidently losing it. Did you find this review helpful? |
Never AgainPros: CHEAP..... Cons: Random input with and without pressing keys, this is on 3 different combo's. Keyboard stops responding. This happens when this is the only keyboard and mouse powered. And In multi-workstation environment. Other Thoughts: Another disappointment from Enermax. Manufacturer Response: Did you find this review helpful? |
Pros: Keyboard fits nicely in my under desk tray. No more cable to kick, and accidentally disconnect, with my feet. Nice low profile with quick response. Mouse is comfortable and response is also quick. Truly plug and play - no setup needed on my PC. Batteries included! Cons: No Caps Lock light. No on/off switch for the keyboard (the mouse has one). Other Thoughts: No on/off switch for keyboard may be irrelevant if the battery life is good. Only time will tell... 0 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |

Sascha's 527 Café has very quickly become a Baltimore treasure. Located in a glorious 19th Century Mt. Vernon townhouse, the look is stunning. Draped by ten foot, deep red velvet theatrical curtains, as you enter from Charles St, you are immediately treated to an eye opening specter of dramatic proportions. Towering 16 foot ceilings, supported by 16 ft marbleized columns, a turn of the century crystal chandelier, warm and sensual lighting and a theme of gold and red colors that take the space and make a sizzle.
Described by Style Magazine as "drop dead sexy", that's only the beginning. We don't just feed you. We make you feel good.
From the look, the feel, the sound, the service, and yes, the wonderfully creative and deliciously tasteful food, Sascha's makes you smile the whole time you're here, and promising to come back as you're leaving.
Our food can best be described as creative American, with global touches from Asia to France, and Morocco in between. Along with grilled and sautéed entrees, we feature our own "taste plates", a smart way to sample a variety of tastes as an alternative to a single entrée. We've taken the tapas concept and tailored it to a Sascha's specialty. If green's where you want to be, you'll find the most original, abundant salads this side of the West Coast. Try a "Mental Greens" with apples, walnuts, frizzled leeks and beans over mixed greens. Grilled sandwiches and pizzas are available, along with a variety of sumptuous homemade desserts.
We feature a finely tuned wine list, not too large too overwhelm and not too pricey to shock. Selections you might not find everywhere, with comfortable prices and nicely pared with our menu.
Treat yourself to a night out at Sascha's. We'll be waiting.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Our front garden has been many things. Originally, there were huge grasses, which were too big for the front of the house. Those were divided and moved to various places in our yard and throughout the neighborhood.
Next, it was a mass of pink coneflowers. Two little children at home allowed for little time; the weeds took over. Thank goodness the birds planted many of these coneflowers all over the yard, so even though the big bed is gone, I have plenty of the pretty pink flowers in pockets everywhere.
Now, I'm happy with the combination of some tall and average-size grasses, several Nandina domestica'Firepower,' and yarrow of many colors, including Achillea'Walter Funke,' and a semi-evergreen 'clypeolata' with hairy silver leaves and dense, flat heads of small yellow flowers. The yarrow has long-blooming flowers that go from early to late summer with deadheading and are good for cutting. I'm adding 'Apricot Delight' yarrow (Achillea millefolium) this year -- it starts out a deep reddish apricot then matures to a pale salmon. Isn't it funny how colors we probably wouldn't mix indoors blend beautifully in the garden?
The Wright price
We've had containers on our front porch for as long as we've had our home. While I usually go with the traditional clay pots, I once ventured to brightly colored plastic (not so good). I'm always on the lookout for the "perfect pot" to put out front, and I was delighted to find it online.
It's a design from my favorite home in the world, Frank Lloyd Wright's Prairie-style Robie House in Chicago. Our home's design takes many cues from that house, so I was thrilled to see Wright's planters available for sale. I was ready to order one of the large, low, round bowls that rest on simple pedestals ... and then I looked at the price.
Well, I'm afraid they cost about the same as a semester's worth of room and board, so my son's college costs will have to come first. They are 1,700 pounds each and cost $2,576. When I entered my ZIP code in the Web site to get a price for shipping, they said they would have to call me with the cost! (I even considered two of the "small" planters, but at $934 each, with the cost to ship them at a total weight of 430 pounds, I think not.)
Roses, roses everywhere
I'm seeing Knock Out roses everywhere! What a treat. The medians in Kanawha City are filled with them, and they look great. I'm sure some rosarians would like to see more rose varieties around town, but the Knock Outs are easy and profuse bloomers, allowing lots of folks to have roses who were afraid of them in the past.
I recently read about rugosa roses: fragrant, cold-hardy shrubs. According to Fine Gardening magazine, they have bright green leaves in the spring, followed by the avalanche of fragrance and color from their blooms, beginning in June and continuing well into July. They continue to be lush through late August, coming on with a flush of new blossoms. Pest- and disease-resistant, they have leaves with a crinkled look. According to the article, deer rarely browse them, and while Japanese beetles may affect midsummer blooms, early and late flowers are typically spared.
Some varieties suggested are 'Polar Ice,' a pinkish-tinged white bloom; 'Purple Pavement,' a fuchsia-colored bloom; 'Foxi,' a beautiful, clear pink rose; and 'Henry Hudson,' a pure-white bloom with a beautiful yellow center. Yellow is an unusual color among rugosas, and 'Agnes' is touted as the best yellow, with double blooms that give an old-fashioned appearance.
Rugosas are old-wood bloomers -- they bloom on old canes. In early spring, when the rose is in bud, carefully prune out any nonperforming or damaged canes. The shrub will compensate and sprout new growth without sacrificing any summer blooms.
Speaking of roses, the Living AIDS Memorial Garden on the East End of Charleston, near the Capitol on Washington Street, is just lovely. Thanks to Bruce Severino and his cast of many who tend this little spot of beauty.

Excellent! Our guide was the best one I ever have had the pleasure of being with and he gave us far more than expected.

Very good! Our guide was very friendly, he made the trip fun for our entire family. He was so knowledgeable, we could ask any question and he knew the answers. I would recommend using this company, we had a great experience and plan to go back.

Awesome! Aladdin our guide was a encyclopaedia of information. He explained so much to us not only about what we were seeing but about the culture and life of Egyptians. He was very easy to understand. We had a fantastic day.

Taken round by Aladdin (and driver Zaky) - both very hospitable, knowledgeable and accommodating. They weren't pushy and there was no pressure to move along too quickly or re. souvenirs. Would definitely recommend and use again.

A dream of a life time to come to see the pyramids. It was fantastic even better because there were no hordes of tourists. The guide was knowledgable as you would expect an Egyptologist to be. Though it was difficult to ask spontaneous questions and get answers - he had his script and wasn't really able to deviate. That wasn't a big deal though.
Doing what: Private Tour: Giza Pyramids, Sphinx, Memphis, Sakkara
The tour was absolutely wonderful. We visited the most famous tourist sites and a few shops when you can buy traditional essential oil and papyrus. The tour guide was very understandable and very wise, he could answer all my questions and I learn a lot from him about egyptian history. He also gave me advices about dealing with street vendors around the city and the pyramids.
Doing what: Private Tour: Giza Pyramids, Sphinx, Egyptian Museum, Khan el-Khalili Bazaar
The tour guide and driver were wonderful and very knowledgeable. The pyramids and the sphinx were amazing, too. The only big complaint is the sellers around the pyramids, hassling tourists to the point of us shouting at them to back off and leave us alone , even the tour guide had to berate them. They even followed us onto the one pyramid, pulling my husband's cap off and forxing an atab headress onto his head, and then hassling him for payment. Most annoying and unpleasant.

I booked the Sound and Light Show at Giza with pickup from and return to our hotel. Mohammed arrived promptly at the arranged time, took us right to the entrance gate, told us the best place to be seated and was waiting for us at an arranged point after the show. Both he and the driver were really friendly, prompty and helpful, therefore I wouldn't hesitate to refer people to Viator.
Doing what: Pyramids Sound and Light Show with Private Transport
Henry was incredible. His deep knowledge of Egyptian history, combined with his near-flawless English and witty sense of humor made our experience at the pyramids/sphinx one for the family scrapbooks. Henry went above and beyond the call of duty to make the tour as smooth as possible (especially when it came to shooing away the local vendors) and I can say with utter sincerity that my girlfriend and I left the tour more enlightened human beings; at least when it comes to Egyptian history :). Thank you Henry for being so awesome! To all would be Egyptian adventurers out there, book Henry as your tour guide when you decide to go to Egypt on your next vacation! YOU WONT REGRET IT!
Doing what: Private Tour: Giza Pyramids and Sphinx
Great tour! Tour guide, Ossama, had great information to share. No trouble from vendors and much easier than going independently. Really not much more expensive either. If you go on your own, you will have to deal with transport, people who will literally jump into your taxi to try and be your tour guide, rip offs and misleading information both in and outside the pyramid complex, aggressive vendors and getting around to different viewpoints. Take a half day tour instead. Only regret is I would have liked to stay longer. Temperature did top out at 113 F that day which is unusual, even in summer.
Doing what: Private Tour: Giza Pyramids and Sphinx
Both the driver and Egyptologist were highly professional and had a high amount of knowledge regarding everything on the trip. They did not pressure me for any tips or to make any unnecessary purchases. He actually recommended a way for me to get away from all the people trying to sell me stuff...politely say no and walk away. He also told me the hustles people try to do to tourists, which for me is a big thing. In the end, I loved the tour because I had a much better understanding of, not just the Pyramids and Sphinx, but the culture of Egypt. We talked about the ongoing current events and how things are improving (or not improving). That is just regular conversation, which is a good thing.

Light show was awesome but having a guide was a waste if money. Show is in English so no need for guide at all (they don't come in with you anyway) If was to go again I would just get a taxi. Pretty poor communication from viator -in fact I never did get a response from viator and ended up ringing the local guide directly.
Light show was wicked though!!
Doing what: Pyramids Sound and Light Show with Private Transport
