MacBook Pro Retina display burn-in?
Should I keep my refurbished on order? Or should I cancel the order and buy a brand new one? And do the refurbished 15 inch retina MacBook Pro's come with Lion or Mountain Lion? It says it has older apps like iChat. And will the refurbished have any of these issues?

I actually have it on 50-60% brightness several hours a day when I am editing photos, that is about 120cd brightness after calibration. Still no signs of any IR at all....

Does anyone know the true color gamut/accuracy of the Retina display?

I wanted to chime in on this. I purchased a 15" rmbp on 12/26/2012. I found this thread and started paying attention to the IR. It started this past week and got very noticable very quickly - itunes on a gray backound, IR visible in 5 min. I took it back to the store I puchased it at and used that chipmunk website to look up the serial numbers they had in stock. The first one had a week 51 build date and the second didn't even have 1/2 the normal specs listed so I figured it was too new to be listed. Needless to say, I puchased that one and I have a Samsung screen now. I am noticing that this screen isn't quite as sharp as the LG but I will take this over the IR, specially after it getting worse quickly.
I hope that helps.

Here's a screen shot of my screen calibration results with xrite i1PRO Display profiler. For some reason the sRGB 'target' and 'measured' lines don't show when copied in the image below, it works out to approx 98% of sRGB Gamut, perfect blue and red match and just off a hair to the left at the green point.

Jajaba, do you have the LG or Samsung display?

LG, week 48, no IR. My friend just returned his Samsung rMBP due to the inability to calibrate an accurate 65K white point (+/- 500+K) as well as significant screen brightness uniformity issues, +/- 12%, my LG is +/- 5.5% @ 120cd. He's actually hoping for an LG on his replacement....

Comparing the Samsung and LG, I personally liked the LG's colors more!

On my third screen now for a 15" MBPr - first was replaced because of dead pixels, second because of IR from where I found this thread, second screen was an LG.
Unisys house-call tech just fixed replaced my screen - he's in the kitchen putting away his tools after 3hrs of work (also replaced the bottom case for the second time because of trackpad issues!) - terminal trick shows I now have a third screen which is Samsung even though apple said I'd be getting a 'newer LG, without the IR issue'.
Seems brighter - but I can only go from impressions/memory and not a true A/B comparison.
Apple customer relations mentioned a $150 iTunes store credit. No harm asking them why you ALL shouldn't get one as well ?
(mind that I did choose AppleCare)

I'm on my fourth retina. This one's got an LG display (3 of the 4 have been LG). No IR. My problem with all of them has been the yellowish color temperature. Calibration doesn't really overcome it. What's up with these yellowish displays? A few on the floor at the stores are yellowish and those that have neutral whites haven't been calibrated. I'm ready to give up all together on Apple. I'm feeling really compelled to write Tim Cook and get executive customer relations involved.

As you can see in my calibration results above my LG calibrates to a near perfect 65K white point. I also have a 50K white point (for pre press) calibration which measured out to 5002K, can't get much more accurate than that. I'm currently using the Xrite i1ProDisplay profiler but my Datacolor Spyder3 system also worked well on the LG retina display. I also know 5 other local rMBP LG owners who all have accurate calibration results (they are all photographers or graphic designers). How are you calibrating your displays? All of the above mentioned machines have been calibrated using an external colorimeter type calibration system that creates actual ICC profiles. No one who works in a color critical industry uses the built in Apple Colorsync 'on screen' calibration option, it's just not an accurate enough process for professional color output.

It looks like you have been very unlucky. I am on my first rMPB which has a LG screen. No IR, no yellow tint, and no backlight bleeding. I would keep trying until you get a good display because they are out there.

I've been a Mac user for almost 20 years and I've never had to go out of my way to calibrate an Apple display. I mean literally when you power it on and see the gray screen with the Apple logo you can tell it's warmer/yellower. Now I'm not going to spend a couple of hundred bucks for a tool to calibrate it. What is up with Apple's quality control? Warmer than usual displays, image retention. Thankfully I haven't experienced image retention but this whole experience is frustrating and disappointing!

DuoTec is a new process patented by EDELRID to enable the manufacturing of bi-colour ropes. [ full story ] Mammut Serenity UKC Gear © Mammut Having in the last few years chosen to buy skinnier ropes to save weight, when I saw that Mammut had brought out the Serenity I got very excited. Yes I know I live a sad and lonely life but just hear me through. Why was I so excited? Because like the Beal Joker, it is a Single, Half and Twin rope. Now I can see advantages in that for alpine, scottish winter, trad, sports - you name it, there is a benefit. So I found my self going to the bank, withdrawing a substantial amount of my doughnut money (which sadly means I am now on a diet - possibly not a bad thing) and entering one of the more famous Lakeland retailers, money in sweaty palm. My first outing was to Shepherd's Crag and to start with we needed to uncoil it. As usual the rope became a huge bundle of knots. But then a strange thing happened - having recoiled it and walked to the crag, it then unfurled beautifully, lying in a glistening orange heap on the deck giving a first indicator that this was going to be a nice rope to handle. For its first test, we paired it with an 8.2 double. You could hardly notice the difference in sizes (although the 8.2 was a little furry but hey). Fischer Folly, Kransic Crack and Ardus came and went and I noticed that actually when I was a way above my last gear, it actually felt more comforting clipping a single. Next we went for a quick ascent of Little Cham, using it as a single. Here we really noticed how well the rope handles - soft and slick, it glides through your plate, hardly ever requiring a detangle. Coiling the rope at the top I was beginning to think I had made a good choice. So the next test came three days later on Aonach Mor. Again we used it as a single on Tunnel Vision Left-hand. The snow being somewhat sunblushed made for an exciting lead, and again the rope did exactly what it said on the tin. Initially it was a little disconcerting being above a single 8.9 cord, but I soon got used to it, enjoying the lack of drag and weight despite running out the full length of the rope to reach the top. Finally the next day we found ourselves at the base of Agags Groove for an alpine-ish ascent. At last my ropes weight matched the weight of the rack making the walk in more pleasant and climbing long pitches a breeze. So what are the downsides? Cost - at between £109 and £168 the Serenity ain't cheap for a single rope. But then remember it is so much more than that. Lets face it - with deals out there the price is brought down to just above that of a skinny double.
What are the real advantages? Use it on its own - it's light making you less knackered when you get to the crag (always a benefit for a loafer like me!). It makes for simple ropework when you're on easy ground so you can leave the other half in the sack. When you're on the glaciers you can have the added security of a full single.
With skinnier ropes the type of belay device you use can be an issue. My ATC Guide was more than fine. I would have thought the XP would do as well. For self-locking type belay devices the Serenity diameter is too small for a Gri-Gri but is fine with the Edelrid Eddy or Faders SUM. Diameter: 8.9 mm
The Mammut Serenity is treated with Mammut's COATINGfinish® where the fibres of the rope are coated with Teflon®. This reduces abrasion between the rope fibres and increases slippage which means the stresses are evenly distributed and the rope can withstand greater forces. Hence the reduction in weight and diameter. This rope is also dry-treated with Mammut's superDRY® and duraFLEX®. More info: www.mammut.ch mike kann © mike kann

Back in May, the Zac Brown Band, in partnership with Ram Trucks, kicked off a national letter-writing campaign targeted at showing appreciation to the men and women who serve our country. Titled "Letters For Lyrics," the concept was simple--write a letter to a U.S. soldier, bring it to a ZBB concert or your local Ram dealership, and receive a special compilation CD in return for your effort. It was a perfect way to celebrate May's Memorial Day holiday.
And now, we're all the way to November, the band is still working on reaching its goal of 1 million letters sent to soldiers serving around the globe, and they've come up with an extra-convenient way for you to participate in the campaign--just in time for Veterans' Day on November 11.If you haven't been able to make it out to a show or found time to visit a dealership--or, heck, if you just can't find an envelope around the house (guilty over here)--the campaign now has a dedicated online form in which you can simply compose your message, hit "send," and you're all done.
The letters will be compiled and printed, then distributed to servicemen and women by the volunteer organization Soldier's Angels. You can write as many letters as you wish, and share the form's widget on your Facebook account or personal website so friends and family can use it too. You can even donate the compliation CD you'd have received as a thank-you gift to accompany your letter!
"We are extremely proud of the men and women who serve and protect our country. Year 'round, we remember those service members our country has lost and those who continue to serve, and we try to honor their heroism with every chance we get," Zac Brown says of the campaign."For us, the 'Letters for Lyrics' campaign has been hugely rewarding. We urge our fans, and everyone out there, to take time this Veterans' Day to send a message, or many, to our troops currently overseas."
What better way to honor the past servants of our country this Veterans' Day than sending a message of thanks and appreciation to someone who's following in their footsteps? And, don't forget Thanksgiving on November 25. There are many soldiers out there who'll be on the job, thousands of miles away from turkey dinners with their families.
If you have the day off from work or school, why not take a minute out of your holiday relaxation to say 'thank you'? It's easy; just click here, compose your message, and send. It'll make both you and your military recipient overseas feel great.
As always, be sure to:

Olivia Wilde was born on March 10, 1984, in New York City. She moved to Los Angeles, California, at age 18, where she landed roles on a number of television series. At age 19, she married Tao Ruspolini, an artist and son of an Italian Prince. She has appeared in such films as Tron: Legacy, Cowboys & Aliens and Deadfall. Wilde has a passion for humanity and belongs to organizations such as Artists for Peace and Justice,
"If I'm left high and dry on the end of this wold journey, just taking it is a great feeling."
a nonprofit organization that aims to educate and provide health care to the people of Haiti. Wilde split from Ruspolini in 2011. Soon after, she met her fiancé, Jason Sudeikis, at a Saturday Night Live afterparty.
Early Life
Actress and activist Olivia Wilde was born Olivia Jane Cockburn on March 10, 1984, in New York City. The nature of her parents work—her parents, Andrew and Leslie Cockburn, were international journalists—exposed Wilde to the world in a way much different than most children. Wilde was raised in Washington, D.C., where she was accustomed to many celebrity and intellectual guests at her home.
Wilde's summers were spent in Ireland with her grandparents, who were also journalists. She was fond of the performing arts and attended summer courses at the Gaiety School of Acting while in Ireland. A dual citizen of the country, Wilde would later adopt her stage name after Irish playwright Oscar Wilde.
Early Film Career
Following high school at Phillips Academy in Andover, Massachusetts, Wilde was accepted to Bard College in upstate New York, but instead moved to Los Angeles to pursue acting. She began working at a casting agency for casting director Mali Finn in 2002. Eventually, after a short time spent executing menial tasks as an office assistant, Finn suggested that Wilde audition for her.
In 2003, Wilde was cast as the lead on the Jerry Bruckenheimer series Skin. In this Romeo and Juliet-esque drama, Wilde portrayed a porn star producer's daughter who was star-crossed lovers with a district attorney's son. The show was short-lived, but showcased Wilde's talents. The actress went on to famously play the controversial role of a bisexual teenager on the hit television series The O.C.
Commercial Success
Wilde's success continued thereafter. She landed roles in such films as The Girl Next Door (2004) and Alpha Dog (2006) before appearing on the 2007 TV series The Black Donellys. She went on to play the memorable role of Dr. Remy "Thirteen Hadley" on the popular series House.
Wilde's unique beauty and dynamic acting abilities have made her desirable to producers, and it doesn't look like that's going to change anytime soon. "One of the things that takes you by surprise is her zero sense of entitlement," Katie Jacobs, a House executive producer, said of the actress.
In 2009, Wilde was awarded the No. 1 spot on Maxim magazine's "Hot 100" list.
Following the devastating earthquake in 2010 in Haiti—where Wilde had visited with her parents as a child—the actress became passionate about rebuilding the country and joined the nonprofit organization Artists for Peace and Justice, which aims to help provide health care and education to the people of Haiti.

When packaging and labeling help fight drug counterfeits
As for PCIDs that are added to packaging or labeling of drug products in solid oral dosage form, FDA makes specific recommendations on how to evaluate toxicological concerns and offers guidance on when and how to report or request approval of the addition of a PCID. The agency points out that, as expected, its "toxicological concerns are mitigated if the added substance(s) is a permitted direct or indirect food additive," or listed in the FDA's Inactive Ingredient Guide.
If the substance you want to use as a PCID in packaging is not the subject of known toxicological information, the packager should, says FDA, determine that there won't be migration of the substance into the products. If some interaction of the PCID with the product is expected, and toxicological concerns may result, FDA suggests packagers contact the agency to discuss the issues. If the toxicology of the substance hasn't been established, and the potential for its migration exists, FDA says the drug product with that PCID in it would require a prior approval supplement before marketing.
When it comes to PCIDs in solid oral dosage form products, FDA is hoping to help industry follow one of its key pieces of advice: Use a multifaceted approach to counterfeiting, in order to stay at least one step ahead of counterfeiters.

Michelle Obama Unveils FDA Nutrition Facts Label Proposals: "This Will Be The New Norm"
Mrs. Obama with one of the proposed new labels |
The White House - First Lady Michelle Obama on Thursday continued the celebration for the fourth anniversary of her Let's Move! campaign by unveiling two proposed new designs for the Food and Drug Administration's Nutrition Facts label, the iconic graphic that appears on roughly 700,000 food products.
When finalized, the first update in twenty years will be "the new norm for providing consumers with the information they need," Mrs. Obama told a crowd of 140 people invited to the East Room event.
Clad in a silken forest green dress, Mrs. Obama stood before poster boards that showed FDA's proposed label graphics as she offered personal criticism for the current label.
Recalling her own efforts to feed her family healthy foods, Mrs. Obama said she was frustrated and "bewildered" as she stood in the grocery store aisle and tried to understand the label, her head filled with a "stream of questions and worries."

Samsung under fire by watchdog group for using child labor
A new report by China Labor Watch looks to shine a light on alleged labor abuses at the factories where Samsung's DVD players and mobile phones are manufactured.
Factories where Samsung DVD players and mobile phones are assembled are rife with labor rights abuses, a Chinese labor watchdog charged today.
According to a report (PDF) released today, HEG Electronics allegedly employs children under the age of 16 and forces its factory employees to work unreasonably long hours.
"The company has clearly violated Chinese labor laws," the watchdog, China Labor Watch, told Bloomberg in an article today. "A serious light needs to be shined on these issues."
According to China Labor Watch's report, which is based on an investigator working undercover at HEG, child labor is prevalent in the factory and the children face the "same harsh conditions" as adults but are paid less. All 2,000 employees are allegedly obliged to work between 11 and 13 hours per day and are only given a 40-minute break to eat. On top of that the report lists the worker meals and dormitory conditions as "appalling."
Related stories
China Labor Watch's report on HEG comes after a similar report it did on Apple's iPad and iPhone manufacturer, Foxconn. The watchdog accused of Foxconn of such abysmal labor standards that several workers committed suicide. These accusations led to Apple bringing in the Fair Labor Association earlier this year to audit the manufacturer's facilities. The FLA found a host of issues with working conditions, including excess overtime and low wages. Foxconn agreed with the FLA to reduce hours and increase pay for its employees.
According to China Labor Watch's new report on HEG, the conditions are "well below" those at Foxconn.

Helping Your Child Avoid Tobacco,Drugs,and Alcohol - Topic Overview
The best thing parents can do to help prevent drug and alcohol misuse by their children is to get involved before a drug problem starts. Talk honestly and openly about all kinds of tobacco, drugs, and alcohol as well as other things kids may do to try to get "high."
Focus on the positive
- Discuss ways for your child to make responsible choices, no matter what his or her friends are saying or doing.
- Praise achievements. Never miss a chance to praise your child and build his or her self-esteem.
- Set a positive example. If you smoke, try to quit. Cigarettes tend to be a "gateway" drug for kids. If you drink alcohol, drink only in moderation. Never drink alcohol and drive. Also, take drugs only as prescribed by your doctor.
- Help your child get involved in sports, clubs, hobbies, and other activities. These activities can help teach kids that they can have fun without drugs and alcohol.
- Spend time with your child. When you take part in your child's life, you show you care. You also get to know your child's routines and can more easily recognize when he or she may get in situations involving drugs or alcohol.
Explain the dangers and consequences of tobacco, drug, or alcohol use
- Tell your child how the body gets addicted to nicotine and other drugs. Explain withdrawal symptoms that happen when a person tries to quit. Tell your child it may take only one cigarette to start a dependence on tobacco.1
- Talk about the legal problems that can result from using drugs or alcohol. For example, a person younger than 18 can lose his or her driver's license or be sentenced to community service or time in a detention center.
- Discuss how people who are using drugs or alcohol can say or do things that they normally would not. It is easy to make bad choices and get into trouble. For example, people may end up driving while drunk or riding with someone who is drunk, or they may find themselves in an unsafe place.
- Set clear limits about what will happen if your child uses drugs or alcohol. Follow through if those rules are broken. Don't make promises you will not keep. The prospect of parental disapproval is often one of the most powerful disincentives. Remind your child that you set these rules because you love your child and don't want him or her to be hurt.
- Explain that inhalants are dangerous. Glue, shoe polish, and gasoline are the most common substances that adolescents inhale.2 Make sure your child knows that these and other inhalants are harmful. Inhalant abuse can cause sudden serious health problems, such as seizures, or death from sudden heart failure. It can cause permanent brain damage or other lifelong problems.

Any student planning to transfer to a four-year college upon completion of associate degree requirements should be aware of the procedures necessary for a smooth transition. Transfer is a relatively easy process. However, students seeking specialized programs should choose their course of study at Cayuga very carefully in order to alleviate future difficulties. It is advisable to begin applying for transfer during the third semester and to begin the exploration process considerably sooner. Consultation is available from the College transfer counselor, the student's academic adviser and/or other faculty members.
The likelihood of gaining admission to a particular program of study at another institution depends on
- Choice of appropriate course of study at Cayuga
- Number of applications for a particular major at the senior college
- Grade point average achieved at Cayuga. Institutions and/or majors in high demand are more competitive and require a higher grade point average for admission.
SUNY applications are available in the Centers for Student Engagement and Academic Advisement. A student may apply to four SUNY units with one application. A New York State resident who is in the process of obtaining a Cayuga associate's degree and who is transferring directly to a SUNY baccalaureate campus may apply to up to four SUNY units with a waiver of the $40 per-unit application fee. Transcripts of grades must be sent from the Office of the Registrar at Cayuga directly to the undergraduate admissions office at the college(s) to which the student is applying. Students who have attended colleges in addition to Cayuga must request that those colleges also send transcripts.
For private or out-of-state colleges, write to the director of admission at the educational institution, requesting a catalog and application forms for transfer students. Two files of college catalogs are available on campus for student use, one in the Library and the other in the Centers for Student Engagement and Academic Advisement.
Admissions counselors from four-year colleges throughout the state visit the campus periodically to recruit students and assist in the transfer process.
Transfer Agreements
Cayuga has official transfer agreements offering opportunities at specific transfer institutions. Consult early with Cayuga's transfer counselor on the details of any transfer agreement.
University Center at Cayuga
Please visit our University Center page for information regarding upper division degree programs offered on the Cayuga campus.

Manager Don Mattingly said he was excited to see the former Dodgers slugger, saying on Wednesday, "I've been watching Manny since he was 18 or 19 years old. I've always been amazed at the guy."
UPDATE: Manny has been scratched from the lineup with back stiffness, and has been replaced by Chris Carter.
Aaron Harang makes his Cactus League debut as a Dodger, and will be followed by a quartet of power arms, in Chris Withrow, Scott Elbert, Kenley Jansen, and Javy Guerra. Minor league pitchers Shawn Tolleson (the Dodgers 2011 minor league pitcher of the year, wearing number 92) and Francisco Felix (No. 87) are in uniform today for the Dodgers as well.
Tyson Ross starts on the mound for Oakland. He is scheduled to be followed by Fautino De Los Santos, Sean Doolittle, Brian Fuentes, and Neil Wagner.

Though barely a stone's throw from the metropolitan hub of Philadelphia and not far from Baltimore, the Brandywine River Valley, which stretches from Chester County, PA, south to Wilmington, DE, is a cornucopia of museums and lush gardens. It is the ideal spot for escaping winter's cabin fever and reveling in the newborn delights of spring. A landscape that is today just barely rural, this valley is still home to rolling green hillsides, quaint and clustered villages, and some of the grandest homes in the Mid-Atlantic.
The scenery of the Brandywine has been immortalized by the late American painter Andrew Wyeth, who passed away in January 2009 at age 91. Before his death, Wyeth was arguably the best-known living artist in the United States. The simplicity of his paintings of rural neighbors, dogs, and desolate farmscapes made people take note. They seemed to be drawn to the seeming ordinariness of the subject, then to the calculated play of light and shadow, and, perhaps, ultimately, to the emotions of regret, nostalgia, whimsical brooding, and gentle satisfaction.
Wyeth's hometown of Chadds Ford, PA, retains many of the trappings of the late artist's works—a number of which can be viewed at the Brandywine River Museum (Rte. 1, 610-388-2700, brandywinemuseum.org). The museum, which also features the work of his father, N.C. Wyeth, and son, Jamie Wyeth, is housed in a 19th century grist mill converted into a three-story art gallery and occupies a serene spot along the slowly rolling Brandywine River.
If you're lucky, you may find yourself at the museum on a day when Wyeth's granddaughter, Victoria, is giving tours. Owner of a broad smile beneath a thatch of bright blond hair, she is, in some ways, the spitting image of her grandfather. Describing one of his most popular paintings, Master Bedroom, which captures dogs sleeping peacefully on a bed in a small square of light, she tells her rapt audience why her grandfather painted so many canines: "It's because people like dogs, he told me!"
Only a few minutes west of Chadds Ford is Longwood Gardens (Rte. 1, 610-388-1000, longwoodgardens.org), the former estate of Pierre du Pont. He purchased the property in 1906, and, over the course of the next four decades, indulged in his passion for horticulture, establishing acres of formal gardens on the estate as well as an expansive conservatory. Today, the property is its own nonprofit organization, but du Pont's influence remains apparent. The charming stone chime tower with its hourly pealing is surrounded by a profusion of vegetation and a cascading man-made waterfall, while the conservatory provides access to blooms year-round.
It is also home to a children's garden with low, narrow, and curling passageways, and kid-level water features. Children will also enjoy the three tree houses.
Across the state line in Delaware in the community of Montchanin is yet another sprawling former du Pont estate turned public garden and museum. Winterthur Museum & Country Estate (Rte. 52, 800-448-3883, winterthur.org, reopens March 9) is the former home of Henry Francis du Pont, an avid collector of American antiques, who opened his sprawling European-style residence as a museum in 1951. The galleries of Winterthur exhibit some of the museum's 85,000-item collection of mostly American antiques, dating from 1640 to 1860. But the draw here is the home's 175 period rooms.
Du Pont's idea was to create spaces reflecting specific styles in American history, using his vast collection of furniture, paintings, textiles, glass, and porcelain to furnish them. In one wing of the house, he installed a two-story curving staircase, reflective of a 20th century neoclassical style. Even the mansion's crown molding and door trim are historic, showcasing the decorative scrollwork of the first half of the 19th century.
Other rooms display an array of eye-catching objects, including a stunning, handcrafted Queen Anne-style desk of striped maple; Oriental-themed, hand-painted wallpaper; a collection of silver tankards made by Paul Revere; and a pair of delicate silver sugar tongs. It is almost too much for the eye to take in.
The estate has 1,000 acres of grounds with many of the gardens reflecting du Pont's careful interest in horticulture. The March Bank, for example, covers an entire hillside and is planted only with early spring bulbs. Others, like Magnolia Bend, rely on the simple beauty of trees to frame the landscape. Here, the pink and white blossoms of the tulip magnolia create a canopy of color in spring. The Enchanted Woods, Winterthur's children's garden, is a treat no matter what time of year, featuring a kid-sized, thatched-roof-and-stone cottage with rustic, hand-carved wood furniture for the little ones.
South of Winterthur, on the banks of the Brandywine, is the Hagley Museum and Library (Rte. 141, 302-658-2400, hagley.org), which is where the story of the du Pont family—aristocrats who fled the uncertainty of France after the Revolution—begins. Eleutherian Mills, a Georgian-style mansion, is the first du Pont family home in America. It was built by E. I. du Pont, the founder of what is today known as DuPont, the chemical company initially established as a gunpowder manufacturer. Started in 1802, the enterprise grew to dominate the explosives industry in the United States. By the 1920s, DuPont was fully engaged in developing new products, from nylon stockings to rayon.
The real find on the grounds of the Hagley Museum is the Powder Yard. This restored collection of mills and storehouses provides insight into the 19th century processes of gunpowder production with demonstrations of steam-engine operations as well as the workings of the mill's machine shop.
One can also visit the family home while at Hagley. The tour is decidedly lackluster, as the guides are accustomed to giving talks to school groups more than to adult visitors, but the mansion and grounds are still worth exploring. In the barn is a massive, original Conestoga wagon, as well as a handful of automobiles by DuPont Motors.
The Brandywine Valley is also known for its numerous (if pricey) antique shops. Worth checking out is Brandywine View Antiques (Rte. 1, Chadds Ford, 610-388-6060,brandywineview.com), which has three stories of items from antique potty-chairs to carousel horses. The store has wraparound porches loaded with iron bedframes, antique patio furniture, and rocking chairs. Not far away, the Pennsbury Chadds Ford Antique Mall (610-388-1620) is vast and deserves an hour or so of exploration, offering the wares of about 80 dealers, as well as an extensive collection of signed Andrew Wyeth and Jamie Wyeth prints.
On Route 52, just north of Longwood Gardens, is Baldwin's Book Barn (610-696-0816, bookbarn.com), which has five floors of used books inside an old stone barn. Just when you think you've seen everything, you come around a corner, encounter a set of narrow steps, and find yourself in yet another nook loaded with dusty volumes. Baldwin's has books on every subject matter you can imagine as well as some friendly resident cats, who might be found lounging on the shelves and tables.
There are other gems to discover in the Brandywine area, including the region's many wineries (bvwinetrail.com). Chaddsford Winery (610-388-6221, chaddsford.com) on Route 1 has wine tastings daily. Among the most popular varietals are the 2008 Spring Wine, a light and fruity sweet wine, and the 2007 Proprietors Reserve White. Other sites include theBrandywine Battlefield (Rte. 1, 610-459-3342, ushistory.org/brandywine), Nemours Mansion & Gardens in Wilmington (Rte. 141, 302-651-6912, nemoursmansion.org), and QVC Studio Park in West Chester, PA, (qvctours.com).
Getting There: The Brandywine Valley is about an hour and a half from Baltimore. The most direct route is to take I-95 north to Wilmington and then Rte. 202 north to Chadds Ford, PA, making a left on Route 1 to reach many of the attractions. If you want to skip the traffic around Newark and Wilmington, take the exit off I-95 at Rte. 272 north toward Nottingham. At Nottingham, pick up Route 1 east to Chadds Ford.
Where to Eat: Simon Pearce (Rte. 52, West Chester, 610-793-0949, simonpearce.com) is a fine place for an elegant dinner. The restaurant—which is connected to the glass gallery, where artisans demonstrate their craft—off- ers riverfront seating in a multilevel dining room. Start off your meal with the divine (and filling!) Vermont cheddar soup before choosing entrees like bourbon-glazed pork belly and Pennsylvania lake trout. The restaurant also offers $39 prix fixe, three-course dinner nights. A more casual spot is Talula's Table (102 W. State St., 610-444-8255, talulastable.com) in Kennett Square, PA, the "Mushroom Capital of the World." The market is a great place to grab lunch. There are a variety of soups, gourmet meals, dozens of artisan cheeses, pastries, and desserts, like chocolate torte.
Where to Stay: The Brandywine River Valley has an array of historic bed and breakfasts and inns. We like the Fairville Inn Bed & Breakfast in Chadds Ford (Rte. 52, 610-388-5900,fairvilleinn.com), which is close to area attractions. It has a lovely afternoon tea with cheese, crackers, fruit, and cookies. The Carriage House rooms behind the main inn will keep you away from street noise (rates start at $165). The Pennsbury Inn Bed and Breakfast, also in Chadds Ford (610-388-1435, pennsburyinn.com), is a country house with beautifully decorated rooms on eight acres of landscaped grounds, only a few minutes from Longwood Gardens (rates start at $149).

Bexley Village library gets £2,500 funding boost after quiz night
12:15pm Wednesday 23rd January 2013 in News By Tim MacFarlan, Bexley and north Kent reporter
A BOOK lover's charity project raising £2,500 for Bexley Village library has finished with a quiz night.
The sold-out event for 94 quiz-goers at the Freemantle Hall in Bexley High Street on January 19 followed a festive bazaar and '20 miles to Christmas' challenge.
Rounds included Lego film scenes, libraries and local knowledge, mammals and American presidents.
Chartered accountant Nicky Rushden is the brainchild behind the 'Heart of the Village' campaign in aid of the 100-year-old library.
The 46-year-old ran the project to raise funds for charity Greener Bexley which runs the library along with Bexley Council.
She said: "We wanted to do something to bring people together to help ensure Bexley keeps this beautiful library a wonderful part of the community for the years to come."
"We really have raised the profile of the library because a lot of people didn't know about it before.
"It's been a nice kick-start for fundraising for the library and it's really encouraged people to come through the door."

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Google has launched a search feature that lets signed-in users re-rank, delete and add comments on search results, according to a Google blog posting Thursday.
The new feature, SearchWiki, is an example of how search is becoming "increasingly dynamic, giving people tools that make search even more useful," according to Google.
Users who do the same search frequently can remove a site from the results that isn't of interest, said Google spokesman Anthony House.
Users can also add comments to a site, which will pop up every time that site is in the results. If a user searches for car sites, the user can add a comment to the site to help remember that it has a lot of interesting information on, for example, hybrid cars, according to House.
Comments are always shared with other users and signed with a person's username. Re-ranked search results, however, are only seen by the signed-in user and do not affect other people's results.
Users can further personalize search results by typing in the URL of a site they want to add to their search results for a certain topic, or move a site to the top of the search results.
There is also an option to see how other people have customized a search, which is accessed by clicking "see all notes for this SearchWiki" at the bottom of the page.
For SearchWiki to work, the user must be signed in to a Google account and English must be the preferred language, according to House. Changes are stored in the user's Google account.
Users can keep track of all the changes they have made by clicking on "see all my SearchWiki notes." Users can also remove edits or comments and go back to the usual search results.
First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Harrisburg, PA — Enduring a cold, rainy, blustery March day paid off for angler Jeffery Matts of Erie. Matts caught a 2 pound 11 ounce yellow perch that day. His catch has been named the new state record for the species by the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission (PFBC). The new record, which measured 15 3/8 inches, was caught in Presque Isle Bay in 11 feet of water. "After a long winter of ice fishing and knowing you need to be there when the fish turn on, I broke down and decided to go fishing with my best friend Rob," said Matts. He said the old saying "Wind from the East, fish bite the least" didn't deter the two anglers. After catching two fish in a couple of hours he decided to move the boat to another spot. Shortly after setting anchor, Matts dropped a jig tipped with a minnow. While rigging another rod, the new record struck. Matts landed the fish, placed it in a livewell, and continued to fish. He realized how big the fish was when he arrived home and started to clean his catch. Matts' catch exceeds the previous record by 2 ounces. That fish was caught in February 2001 by Keith Meck of Macungie while ice fishing at Beltzville Lake, Carbon County.
Sam, Lycoming County North Central PA NAFC Life Member ,Angler Legacy Ambassador
Wow, wouldn't a livewell of them be nice! Thanks for sharing, Sam!
They would fill a frying pan up quick!!I'd love to catch them all day,He's about as big as most of the bass I catch up here.
I get Email newsletters from PFBC,That one was from Yesterday.I think there is a link at there site if anyone wants to recieve the newsletter.

The City of Utica says the way it is distributing Housing and Urban Development grants this year will make a bigger visible impact on the city, but as our Andrew Sorensen tells us, the change is a major loss to programs that were counting on the money.
UTICA, N.Y. -- For some of these people, the Resource Center for Independent Living's adult day program in Utica is a lifeline, helping the elderly and disabled.
"I'd be lost without them. I can't walk very well and if it wasn't for these people, I'd be on the floor," client Paula Meany said. Their mission, according to program director Michelle Murphy, is to, "Keep them out of a nursing home, in their home, where they can live a quality life."
But for people like Carol Wells, who was put in a coma in 1990, and now finds meaning in the work she does with her hands that lifeline could be cut short.
Last year, RCIL used $17,568 in Community Development Block Grant funds given out by the city. This year's pull: $0.
RCIL'S Executive Director Burt Danovitz says they'll get by. But the cuts will reduce how many times people can use the service. "So although it's not a significant amount," Danovitz said. "To now have to deny that service to people, it's very significant."
They aren't alone. The city is giving about $90,000 fewer to community groups than they did in 2012. The city says there's a problem with the way they were spending the money before: You couldn't see the change on your average city street. Mayor Robert Palmieri said, "Instead of sprinkling 'x' amount of dollars throughout the entire area, we are going to identify two to three areas and make a very big impact within a short period of time."
Palmieri said part of the cuts are because of decreased Housing and Urban Development funds for the grants. But he is diverting money for his own vision.
"We can see something that is changed in this area from a curb appeal. What we're looking for from the economic development of it, is the city is saying, 'this city is open for business,'" he explained.
But the groups affected have a different feel of it.
"When people are no longer able to live in their homes," said Danovitz, "They're no longer able to take care of their homes."
So they hope to find other funding to keep working toward a better city.
The mayor plans to use the funds for facades, sidewalks and other infrastructure upgrades.
The city's funding will be focused on four specific neighborhoods:1. Bleecker Street (From Genesee Street to Albany Street.)2. Newell (North of Faxton-St. Luke's Medical Center)3. Capital Avenue in West Utica4. Center City (Areas near the Memorial Parkway between Genesee and Steuben streets)

A Most Pleasant Stay At The Hotel Veneto
from A TripAdvisor MemberBreakfast is just what one expects in Italy - cornetti, juice, cereal, etc., and they will gladly brew a cappuccino upon your request. The breakfast room has a breathtaking view.
The location is perfect for walking to the Villa Borghese Park, via Veneto, Spanish Steps, and scores of other attractions. If needed, there is a bus stop right outside the hotel.
My room was on the small side, but spotless, as is the entire hotel.
My experience at the Hotel Veneto was most positive ; I am looking forward to returning.
nice but staff could care less
from A TripAdvisor Memberquaint and lovely location
from A TripAdvisor MemberWe liked the fact that the hotel was located near the famous Via Veneto and Spanish Steps. It also had wonderful local restaurants all within steps of the hotel.
The front desk staff left a little less than to be desired. For suggestions of places to go, restaurants, etc, they were not the friendliest or helpful. That wasn't our normal experience with other European hotels.
not so good
from A TripAdvisor MemberLovely Location and Cheap to Boot
from A TripAdvisor MemberRomeantics
from A TripAdvisor Membernot so hot
from MargaretGalileeNothing Special but Clean!
from A TripAdvisor MemberFaulty Towers
from A TripAdvisor MemberNo frills value hotel
from SiThompsonDo not be sold on the location of this hotel, it is a 20 minute walk to the Trevi Fountain and requires bus / cab to get to other major places of interest. Overall, this is a quality budget hotel in a relatively quiet part of Rome.
Top Local Tips for Rome
DON'T do it.... Don't fall for the restaurants that you see in the tourist areas. You can have an " ok" diner, but you will pay big time for drinks. Review the menu and review the prices for service and drinks. Biggest mistake on Via Veneto is restaurant Ciao Bella (we could've known by the name). Cheapest bottle of really bad wine is €40,-. Service is bad and tables are bad. Try to find places that are off the tourist track. Ask your hotel, they should be able to tell you. And ask where they would go for diner. One place that was good for regular, fast easy, and cheap food was a restaurant locally known as Est Est Est officially it is called Da Ricci. Location Via Genova (end of the street) it's near Piazza Republica.
Avoiding lines at the Colosseum A ticket bought at either the Colosseum or Palatine Hill gives you entrance to the other. To avoid the long ticket line at the Colosseum, buy your ticket at Palatine Hill (about a five minute walk from the Colosseum entrance). Spend some time walking around Palatine Hill, checking out the ruins of the emperor's palaces and overviewing the Roman Forum. Then, get in line at the Colosseum. The first line is to get through security. Once you get through that, go into the left hand line. The line on the right is to buy tickets. The line on the left is for groups and people with tickets. You'll save yourself a lot of time. Courtesy of Ricks Steves.
