At The Concert
by Bob Thomas
posted Jun 27 2010 10:07AM
If you like concerts, Hampton Roads, VA is the place to be……during the summer, that is. RnB, Jazz, Country, Rock, Pop, Hip Hop, it doesn't matter. They
all come this way…..during the summer, that is. I'm not a big concertgoer
(excluding Jazz)
but recently, I've had a change of heart. I considered checking out Hall & Oates, on the beach at the Va. Beach Oceanfront
(which is blissful…the music, the water)
but it was FREE. That translated to 40,000 PEOPLE, 20,000 CARS and ZERO parking. "I CAN'T GO FOR THAT! NAW, NOOOO….NO CAN DO!" Then, Maxwell & Jill Scott came to town. I've never seen either of them, nor had I ever gone to the Va. Beach Amphitheater. OK, two birds with one stone. Show started at 7 pm. In order to get convenient parking, you had to be there by 4 pm. I got there at 7:45 pm. Needless to say, I had to park in RICHMOND which meant in order to get to the amphitheater, the wife and I had to take……"A LONG WALK, AROUND THE PARK, AFTER DARK!" And the temperature was about 94 with 100% humidity. By the time this "BROTHA" got to his seat, I was soaked to my "draws." Jill was good though, I mean, the two songs that I saw were on point. Now it's time for Maxwell
(who reminded me of Marvin Gaye).
The heat & humidity was stifling. I was waiting for Pharaoh to order me to get more straw
(Hebrew slave).
I saw people drinking these huge slurpees, so I figured I'd get a couple. The attendant said, "That'll be 28 dollars." $28 DOLLARS! How "FORTUNATE" that this robbery is not at gunpoint. I said forget it, just give me a little "SUMTHIN SUMTHIN" with ice. Got one soda for 6 dollars, we shared it. Marvin Gaye….uh…Maxwell, was good but it was so miserably muggy, I couldn't enjoy the show. Last night, we went to the Hampton Jazz Festival. I don't usually go the "Jazz" festival because first, it's not a "Jazz" festival
(it's a music festival)
and second, the acoustics are so horrible in the Coliseum, the music sounds muddled. But I wanted to see Down to the Bone
(the only Jazz artists on the bill last night).
I saw them, but didn't really hear them. They were first, so after them, I was ready to go. But the wife wanted to see Joe. I'm like "NA, NA, NA"…. I don't think this classifies as "ALL THE THINGS (YOUR MAN WON'T DO)" but it was ONE of them or so I thought. I sat out on the concourse while she enjoyed Joe. After Joe, I text her, let's go. But she wanted "MORE & MORE." Now, she wanted to see Teena Marie. Oh no! Now I'm "OUT ON A LIMB" or should I say, out on the concourse…..again. This is definitely not my idea of "SHANGRA LA." And you know she wanted to see "CHARLIE, LAST NAME WILSON." So I have to be contented sitting on the concourse, listening to the bouncing, muddling sound of the music while watching former divas and playas from the Himalayas work it like they did in the 70's and 80's
(which really wasn't all that bad cuz I saw some SIGHTS!)
But hey, my time is coming July 23rd & 24th. You see, that's the Norfolk Jazz Festival
(the real Jazz Festival)
featuring Lonnie Liston Smith, Roy Ayers, Wilton Felder, Tom Browne, Ronnie Laws, Fattburger and Jeff Lorber Fusion at Town Point Park in Norfolk. I can't wait to spend some "QUIET MOMENTS" with "GOOD VIBRATIONS" as we "INHERIT THE WIND" of "JAMAICA FUNK." "EVERY GENERATION" will appreciate the "JOY" of jazz in the "CITY." See ya there!

LOL I went to the Maxwell show. I left Gloucester @ 3 o'clock! got great parking since I was there a little after 5. So I sat in the car & ate my dinner til time to mosey up to the gates. I thought it was an awesome show, worth sitting in the heat. Iwas on the lawn so I did get a bit of a breeze from time to time. what wasnt fun was sitting at the hrbt forever on the way home! shoulda been home around 1230 didnt roll in til nearly 2!

CBHS cheerleaders win a limo party and $500
Seven Cane Bay High School cheerleaders won a limo party and a $500 gift card from Young and Free South Carolina, powered by South Carolina Federal Credit Union, for being the "Last Fans Standing."
The cheerleaders discovered they were winners during a surprise reveal at the school in December. They were led to think they were being interviewed by a local cheerleading blogger, only to discover a stretch Hummer limo pulling up behind them.
The Young and Free team attended several local football games, inviting students to participate in the Last Fans Standing contest. Students were able to enter to win a stretch Hummer limo party and a $500 gift card by having their photos taken at the Young and Free SC photo booth and voting for their favorites on Facebook.
Young and Free SC provides free financial education at local high schools, including Ashley Ridge High School and Goose Creek High School. Visit youngfreesc.com for more information.

Gardening at the Dragon's Gate
447 pages; Bantam Books Gardening, with all its trials and errors, is not for the faint-hearted—and neither is meditation, both of which Wendy Johnson practices at the Green Gulch Farm Zen Center, north of San Francisco. Gardening at the Dragon's Gate (Bantam) is not only a wonder-filled celebration of nature, human and horticultural ("Every garden is unique, quirky, distinct and disobedient, just like every gardener"), but, with its practical hints and wide-ranging garden lore, a patch of paradise in an imperfect world.

PORTVILLE - Down 15 at one point in the fourth quarter, Cassadaga Valley (8-10, 3-9) got to within five of Portville's lead, but the Panthers (16-2, 10-2) eventually pulled away, dropping the Cougars, 48-42, during CCAA Division 2 boys basketball action Tuesday night.
"My kids are playing their tails off," Cassadaga Valley head coach Rich Clifford said. "They're playing real hard every game, we're competing every game ... Hopefully we can pull off an upset in the playoffs. We're really starting to believe in ourselves."
Portville built a 13-7 lead after the first quarter, then increased its lead to 26-17 at the break. The Panthers outscored the Cougars, 12-9, in the third quarter. Cassadaga Valley saved it's best for last, outscoring Portville, 16-10, over the game's final eight minutes, but it wasn't enough, as the Panthers escaped with their 10th league win of the year.
Tim Bender led the Cougars with 13 points while Randy Dalaba (11 points, 10 rebounds) and Cody Johnson (10 points, 11 rebounds) finished with double-doubles.
Zach Blask had a game-high 22 points to go with three steals and two assists while Josh Watson finished with 11 points and a game-high 12 rebounds.

She was released last month on bail.

With the abundance of coverage of the Roman Catholic Church and the Vatican, here's our show about a Jesuit priest who's living a life of Christian service that flies under the radar. Father Greg Boyle's gang intervention programs in Los Angeles are becoming more well-known, but his ideas behind them often get short shrift.
He makes winsome connections between service and delight, and compassion and awe. He heads Homeboy Industries, which employs former gang members in a constellation of businesses. This is not work of helping, he says, but of finding kinship. The point of Christian service, as he lives it, is about "our common calling to delight in one another."

This time we're looking at the invisibleSHIELD full body for iPad which offers both top-side glass and bottom-side aluminum film protection. If you worry just as much about scratches on the back of your precious iPad as you do the front, full body is something to consider.
This is how I installed it.
I use a big squeegee for the initial pass, the supplied smaller one for the details. I also made sure to put my iPad on a non-slip mat first so I don't have to chase it around the table. (Basically what I did for the iPhone screen protector how-to, a little more conservative than Dieter's approach).
We'll be testing the invisibleSHIELD full body for iPad out for durability in the very near future, as well as comparing it some other films on the market. If you have any tips for applying them, or any questions about them, let me know in comments.
If you want to pick up a invisibleSHIELD full body for iPad, check out the TiPb iPad accessory store.
Is it just me that I do not want any kind of spray or liquid anywhere near my iDevice? I have visions of tiny amounts of solution seeping around the home button... What are the advantages of the wet-applied films?
Personally I have had great results with the Case-mate dry films on my iPhone. Properly aligned it is invisible and pretty damn scratch resistant.
After the awful experience I had with the Zagg invisible shield for my iPhone 4, I don't I'll every consider another Zagg product ever again. Especially not a product that requires my device to come into contact of a liquid.
Ugh, sometimes I hate the iPhone spell checker. I meant to say, "I doubt I'll ever consider another Zagg product ever again".
I don't like Zagg products either, after bad luck with the iphone 3g and Best Buy installing on my iphone 4 which they soak the phone, I took it off about a day later. I don't like the plastic feeling. I did however leave the back on my phone 4.
I always recommend applying it to the back of the device first so you know what to expect when applying it to the front.
I tried dry apply zagg for ip4. FAIL. u have one chance to get it on straight. I didnt and att wouldnt refund my $$. Att exchanged it and i had to drive to another att store to return it.
Kinda late to the game but I have to say it. USE MORE SOLUTION!! You're not going to void your warranty as long as you have half a brain. Using more solution will also give the protector some mobility after its laid down to tweak it just right. Doing so will also make getting any air bubbles you possibly got on there out quickly without a fight.
I've done hundres of these. I'm sorry, but you're doing it wrong.
I have read the article carefully, it is full of informative information which can help us a lot.It is very kind of you to provide it.
Good stuff as per usual, thanks. I do hope this kind of thing gets more exposure.
To play FLV on iPad wherever you go, a FLV to iPad Converter is needed here for converting FLV to iPad compatible format MP4, H.264 Video or MP3 Audio, below I will show a quick solution on converting FLV to iPad so that you canplay FLV on iPad freely.

I provide both a research and a transcription service In Scotland I visit Scotland's People Visitors Centre, (formerly New Register House) and the National Archives of Scotland in Edinburgh (including West Register House and less frequently the Mitchell Library and the Glasgow City Archives in Glasgow AND In England I visit The National Archives (formerly the Public Record Office) the London Metropolitan Archives, the Guildhall Library, The British Library and their newspaper library at Colindale, The Principal Probate Registry, The LDS Family History Centre in Kensington and the Society of Genealogists in London. The records at most of these archives are usually photocopiable and will be sent to you in the post on my return home. I am also able to take digital photographs at many of these archives (not The British Library or The Principal Probate Registry). I am also willing to travel to other archives both in Scotland and England as long as my expenses can be covered Results are sent by email, usually within 24 - 48 hours of my return. Click on the hyperlink to take you to the appropriate section Transcription of Birth, Marriage and Death Certificates Digital Images of Births, Marriage and Death Certificates and Old Parish Record Entries Transcriptions from Old Parish Records Searching for Living Relatives Transcriptions from Testaments, Inventories, Sasines and Kirk Sessions (Not in Latin or Scots Secretary Hand) Glasgow City Archives and the Mitchell Library The National Archives (Formerly the Public Record Office) London Metropolitan Archives and the Guildhall Library Scottish ResearchServices and Costs Birth, Death and Marriage Certificate TranscriptionIf you know the exact GRO(S) reference (year, registration district number, and entry number) For example 1867 603 25 Birth and Death Certificates £4 per certificate Marriage Certificates £4.50 per certificate These transcriptions available from 1907 – 2006 for births; 1927 – 2006 for marriages; 1957 – 2006 for deaths Before this time digitised images of certificates are available from 1855 onwards. I can collect copies of these and scan and send them to you by email. Cost of Scanned images £1 per certificate If you have used the LDS Church's films for example the General Indexes to the Civil Records (after 1855) at www.ktb.net/~dwills/scotref/13302-bmdtables.htm you will need to find out the number of the registration district as these films only give parish names not numbers. A list of these is available at www.ktb.net/~dwills/scotref/13310-parishlist.htm If you do not have access to exact references If you can provide name(s), a date and a place and some qualifying information, for example the names of parents, the cost would be £5 for birth and death certificates and £5.50 for marriage certificates. (As long as it's not John Smith et al!) Old Parish RecordsThese have now been digitised and can be scanned an emailed to you Cost: £1 per image Please note Old Parish Records were only as good as the person who kept them. They very rarely include as much information as does a certificate. Burial information in particular is scarce. However these have now been digitised and are available as printouts. Censuses1841, 1851, 1861, 1871, 1881, 1891 and 1901 censuses Cost £1 per family group (Plus the cost of any necessary search time) Other Research Facilities Cross Check on Female Deaths This is a facility that allows you to look for the maiden and married name at the same time. Available only during the years of Civil Registration (1855 or later) There is no alternative spelling facility available with this, so if a name can be spelled a variety of ways, each spelling has to be checked separately. Cross Check on Bride and Groom Names for Marriages This facility allows you to look for both names at the same time for a marriage. It can be used with or without Christian names. Available only during the years of Civil Registration (1855 or later) There is no alternative spelling facility available with this, so if a name can be spelled a variety of ways, each spelling has to be checked separately. Unfortunately, if the bride and groom have the same surname, this facility is not available either. Cross Check on deaths using an age parameter This facility allows you to put in an approximate age at a particular year so that you narrow down the possible certificates to look through. Available 1855-1858 and 1870 to 2008 Alternative spelling is available. Please be aware that there are no Certificates prior to 1855 and that Old Parish Records were only as good as the person who kept them. They very rarely include as much information as does a certificate and death information in particular is scarce. Monumental Inscriptions New Register House holds a collection of these from various areas of Scotland and I am happy to look through these and transcribe details. Costs for all of the above: Minimum: £7 for a quarter of an hour search plus the transcription charge if found Research FeesFor Birth, Death or Marriage certificates within Civil Registration (1855 onwards) or Old Parish Records prior to 1855 Cost £28 per hour [with a minimum of 15 minutes (£7)] Remember the more information that you can give me the quicker the search will be. The price for each certificate or record will be quoted to you when you make your request. Family Tree Research Although it is more interesting to put together and complete research yourself, not all of us have the time or facilities for this. Please contact me if you would like me to do all of the research for you. The final result will be a Family Tree Maker Book. Searching for Living RelativesIf you or your ancestors moved away from Scotland, I am happy to trace to see whether there are any relatives still living in Scotland now. Cost £28 per hour plus certificates and census material National Archives of Scotland(Formerly the Scottish Records Office) This is where Testaments, Inventories, Sasines and Kirk Sessions amongst others are stored. These can be invaluable research tools that can add 'meat to the bones' of research and confirm links between ancestors. Testaments Kirk Sessions These can sometimes find that missing or 'naughty' ancestor for you. For example an illegitimate child may not have been baptised, and the parent(s) may have had to go before the Kirk to be rebuked. Not every book for every area is available, so please check with NAS first. (You can check using their online catalogue at http://www.nas.gov.uk/onlineCatalogue/ using the reference CH2 for Church of Scotland and CH3 for Free Church.) Court Hearings and Judgements Again these can add further detail to your research, whether it is a divorce, sequestration, paternity suit record, result of a precognition, or an ancestor being tried for murder. These are held at West Register House. Availability of the records can be checked at the NAS online catalogue. Again, it's best to check with West Register House to see whether the records of your ancestor are available and usable.. You can email them at email@example.com Sasines These 'transfers of property and money' can sometimes prove the 'missing link' between ancestors. They are also invaluable for doing research on your house or other properties. The abridgements from these have now all been digitised, making research in them much quicker. The Sasine Abridgements have now been digitised and can be photocopied rather than transcribed Cost for research and transcription £28 an hour There are lots of other interesting documents that are available at the National Archives of Scotland.. It's amazing what you can turn up by just putting your name into their catalogue search engine. If you are not sure what any of these documents contain, please visit the NAS website at http://www.nas.gov.uk/guides/default.asp These indispensable guides are full of useful information as to what is available Please note that some documents need to be ordered well in advance.

Rated 4.1 out of 5 by 31
Rated 4 out of 5 by kynatural1 A nice bow
It's a nice bow, but it benefits greatly with the addition of a Whisker Bisquit since the arrows aren't stable on the rest. The arrows on the other hand are terrible. They are so thin that they bend when impacting soft ground at an angle upon misses to the target at distances of ten yards.. Furthermore, the inserts were all loose and the fletching was not properly installed. It's far too nice a bow to match with those junky arrows. It would be to Barnet's benefit to include quality arrows in the kit. Overall, I am quite satisfied with this bow and I think it will serve my granddaughter well for quite a few years.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Firediver57 Bow is good but.....
The bow itself is good and when you figure out how to adjust it the bow is better. The sights are fairly good but the rest not so must. The is stabilized by gravity and for a new shooter falls off too easy. The arrows are pure junk. First shot on all three and the points all came off. The kit/carry case is a nice idea but not really necessary. I would buy a whisker bisquit and some good arrows and then shoot the bow. Also I thought the kit would have an arm guard (I don't know why I thought that) but it doesn't so get one if you buy this setup.

Rated 5 out of 5 by greenfrog really good bow
this is a really good bow i bought this for my 14 year old son as his first bow it works really great and all i did was add a whisker buiscuit and bought some carbon fiber arrows and it works really well
February 3, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by genern Great starter bow
I bought this bow for my 9 year old daughter who has outgrown the little $20 green bow I got her earlier this year. I replaced the mediocre arrow rest with a Whisker Biscuit, and it works great. This bow is easy to adjust with the replaceable cams, and the allen wrenches all come with it. The arrows are not great, but they work fine. I had the guys at Basspro put a nock loop on and serve the string, so she could use a release, which works great. She has shot about 50 arrows through it in the last 2 days, and so far it performs flawlessly and has plenty of power to keep her going for a while!!

My daughter shoots this bow perfectly up to 20 yards without a stabilizer and is quite impressive with her aim.Top 1000 Contributor
These are pretty smooth shooting, but if you feel the need to add one, try the B-Stinger. They rockDetails:
how much grain is recommended for the broad heads?Answers
Top 1000 Contributor
I think that's a matter of personal choice, not bow design. My daughter shoots 100 grains. As long as you sight it in with the same grain you're gonna hunt with, I don't see that it would matter much. This little bow is quite strong and impressive in the way it is made and the way it shoots.Top 1000 Contributor
For short distance shooting, feel free to use a 125gr but if you're shooting longer distances (60yds+), I recommend the 100gr tipsA:
I don't know what is recommended, but we use 100 or 110 grain with much success. You would obviously want to try to match the weight of your field points.Details:
i have a bow now but it is to small and does not say what hand on the package.Answers
Top 1000 Contributor
which hand do you use to write? As for Canada's hunting regulations, that's on you. I would think it would fulfill any and all requirements for every nation, but you may want to double check your local hunting laws and regs.A:
Here is a simple test to find your dominant eye. Stand a good distance (25 yards or more) from a telephone pole and put your thumb up like you are hitchhiking. Line your thumb up with the pole with both eyes open. Close your left eye without moving your thumb. Open your left eye and close your right eye. You will find the pole and thumb stayed lined up with one eye and the pole jumped out from behind your thumb with the other. The one that kept the pole behind it is your dominate eye. If it was your right shoot right handed; if it was the left shoot left handed. good luck.Top 1000 Contributor
If you hold the bow in your left hand, you are a right handed shooter. If you hold the bow in your right hand, you are a left handed shooter. Not sure about laws in Canada.A:
You need it handed to what hand you pull the string back with, so if you hold the bow in your left-hand and pull the string back with your right, you need right-handed. You use your dominant eye to shoot a bow with, so if you normally shoot a gun left-handed, you might shoot a bow left-handed, but not always.A:
Sammy your bow should be setup to be held in your weak hand and drawn with you dominant hand. For example I shoot left handed. I draw the string with my left hand and hold the bow in my right hand. Figure out which of your hands is dominant (the one you eat and write with) and pick the bow up with the other hand. If it fits you are ok. Most bows have a thumb groove in the bow that will fit the correct hand. There are a few youth bows out there that will fit either hand. Have no idea about the Canada part.A:
The arm/hand you use most would be the one you would need, for instance if you throw, eat, shave, right handed then you would want the right hand.This bow says it is not restricted for Canada.

I really like the Redhead BlackOut carbon fiber arrows. As for broadheads, I like the 3 blade fixed broadheads by Allen. You can't kill them and they're tough as nails (literally)Top 1000 Contributor
My daughter uses the Redhead X5 Envy in 400 size and 100grain field tips. They work great.A:
Carbon arrows and probably 85gr. (because it's a common weight)A:
100 grain seemed to work best especially if you have a longer draw length which gives you a longer arrow. The common carbon arrow will be best.Q:
6 answers
i was wondering if you buy the barnett vortex at bass pro shop will it be set a 45 lb draw weight?
This bow is NOT capable of reaching 45 lbs. I know it tells you that on the package. My trips to the box shop say otherwise. Barnett wants me to pay shipping so they can look at it. Wasted money.A:
not immediately, but you will have to ask them to do it.Top 1000 Contributor
they will set it at whatever draw weight you are comfortable with. I recommend buying in person, so they can set your draw length while you're there and cut your arrows to your draw.Top 1000 Contributor
No matter what weight it is set at, this bow is designed to make the changes for your particular draw weight easily and without a bow press. The cams are labelled, and the directions tell you which set to use for your particular draw weight. The tools required for the change are also provided. I was surprised at how easily this could be done.A:
The weight is tied to the draw length with moduals and 3 settings on the cam. It comes with the cam set in the moddle so it will not go to 45 without moving this to the + location and it requires a press. Shop moved it for me at no charge.A:
I bought one for my son's birthday, and was told by customer service that they'll set it up for him, so you should be able to have them do the same.Answers
Top 1000 Contributor
That depends on how long your draw is. If your bow is set at a 29" draw you will want to get 29" arrows. I've used expensive arrows and found they don't out perform the Redhead Blackout X5 carbon fiber arrows. You can get a half dozen of these for under $40Top 1000 Contributor
The length of the arrow is determined by the draw length of the shooter. The "best" arrows are a matter of opinion. We prefer carbon Redhead x5 Envy.A:
Your arrow will depend on your personal draw length. We have tried carbon, but the alum. seem to shoot more consistent, so that is what we use. The practice arrows for competitions do not seem consistent enough either.A:
The arrow length depends on your draw length. I've heard that the arrows that come with aren't the best, but the staff at the store should be able to help with arrow selection.A:
i have and like the easton flatline carbon arrows and the bass pro store tech measured my draw and custom cut at 27 inches, that differs so you should go to a store if one is within reach, if not make a trip to vegas! the stores are the most amazing thing you may have ever seenDetails:
I'm a 14 year old boy and I was looking for a good bow. The draw weight and draw length seem pretty expandable so I think I'm good on that part, but what about the axle to axle weight? I don't know if it would be to small for me. If so, what do you think a good bow would be for me?Answers
Top 1000 Contributor
Barnett makes some good bows. At 14 years old, you could handle a full size bow. I would recommend the PSE Stinger. It's adjustable from 45-70#'s and the draw is adjustable from 25-30"A:
this bow would be great for you as i am 14 and its the best bow i have used!Top 1000 Contributor
I think you mean axle to axle height. And it's not too small for you, unless you're over 6 1/2 feet tall. This bow will adjust out to 27inches in draw length. So unless you're very tall and long armed, I think this bow would work well for you.A:
Our 14 year old son uses this bow and it is perfect for him, he is on the small side, and our 11 year old uses one also. I am a grown woman, fairly strong, and I use my sons' bows.A:
My son is 12 and he is using this bow to learn. It seems to work great for him since he grows several inches a day. LOL It is very easy to adjust draw length which is the really important part while learning to shoot a bow. The draw weight can be increased gradually once you get the basics down pat. My experience with him is that by the time he has grown enough to handle more weight than this bow he will need a longer draw length anyway. I highly recommend this bow for beginning youth.A:
i think diamond razors edge would be good for youAnswers
Top 1000 Contributor
Depends on if you're shooting parallel to the earth or lobbing it out into a field for nothing more than max distance. They are effective out to 80yds at 60#Top 1000 Contributor
Probably further than you can aim accurately. We shoot it at 20 pounds draw weight, and it will carry a carbon arrow with a 100grain tip easily over 20 yards without issue.A:
Distance is a direct result of arrow weight and draw weight. With youth type arrows you should be able to go 30 yards or so accurately at 25 pounds and 40-45 yards at 45 pounds.A:
Out to 45 yards with easeAnswers
Top 1000 Contributor
I can only find this bow in the right hand model. Basspro lists right hand as the only option.A:
Only available in RHAnswers
Top 1000 Contributor
Yes, the holes on the bow are universal and match up with other sights, and it's pre-drilled with a threaded hole for stabilizers, not that you would need one for this bow.A:
You can add anything you want. We have put on a peep, new sights, stabilizer bar, etc.A:
Yes. I have one set up for my son with a custom sight, counterweight and whisper biskit rest. Sets up just like any other bow.Top 500 Contributor
Absolutely. I actually bought the bare bow and added everything. It may cost a little more, but that way you get what you want on it.

ViewSonic makes second foray into 3D
LAS VEGAS--Last year, I reviewed two 3D monitors: the Samsung SyncMaster 2233RZ and the ViewSonic FuHzion VX2265wm. While the ViewSonic monitor delivered a 3D experience comparative with the Samsung, its overall worse performance and lack of an onscreen display meant that, pound for pound, it just wasn't worth the investment.
At CES 2010, the company announced it's trying 3D again with the debut of the 23.6-inch V3D241wm-LED monitor. This time, the monitor had a 16:9 aspect ratio with a 1,920x1,080-pixel resolution--up from the 1,680x1,050-pixel resolution of the FuHzion VX2265wm.

The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones
Set in modern-day New York, the plot centers on Clary Fray (Collins), who discovers she is the descendant of a line of Shadowhunters, a secret tribe of young half-angel warriors locked in an ancient battle to protect the world from demons.
Official: When fifteen-year-old Clary Fray heads out to the Pandemonium Club in New York City, she hardly expects to witness a murder—much less a murder committed by three teenagers covered with strange tattoos and brandishing bizarre weapons. Then the body disappears into thin air. It's hard to call the police when the murderers are invisible to everyone else and when there is nothing—not even a smear of blood—to show that a boy has died. Or was he a boy?
This is Clary's first meeting with the Shadowhunters, warriors dedicated to ridding the earth of demons. It's also her first encounter with Jace, a Shadowhunter who looks a little like an angel and acts a lot like a jerk. Within twenty-four hours Clary is pulled into Jace's world with a vengeance, when her mother disappears and Clary herself is attacked by a demon. But why would demons be interested in ordinary mundanes like Clary and her mother? And how did Clary suddenly get the Sight? The Shadowhunters would like to know…

Looking for the key
A man was walking home late one night when he saw Mullah Nasruddin on his hands and knees, searching under a street light for something on the ground.
Mullah, what have you lost? he asked.
The key to my house, Nasruddin said.
Ill help you look, the man said.
Soon, both men were down on their knees, looking for the key.
After some time, the man asked: Where exactly did you drop it?
Nasruddin waved his arm back toward the darkness. Over there, in my house.
The man jumped up. Then why are you looking for it here?
Because there is more light here than inside my house.
Source: Tales of Mullah Nasruddin
Though this seems just a funny tale, it has a much deeper meaning. Very often we look in the wrong place for our answers, only because that place is more convenient. This is particularly true of the mystery of life. My house in this tale is a metaphor for my inner self. If our objective is to understand this mystery, the key to unlock it has to be found where it got lost, that is within our inner self, and not by external rituals.

BitTorrent has released a major update for its wildly popular filesharing client this week, marking the debut of its first paid version. Called uTorrent Plus, the software is being sold for $24.95 a year and infuses the (once?) lean, mean, downloading machine with a host of new features, including integrated support for converting popular video file types, such as MPEG4, H.264, Theora, and VP8, as well as MP3, AAC, and AC-3 audio files.
Paid users can also expect a built-in antivirus powered by BitDefender, an HD media player and remote access tools that allow you to control your home torrent client through any supported browser. You'll also be able to download files from your home torrent library to the remote device you're using. Those new functions might sound great on the surface, but BitTorrent seems to be receiving a mixed response from the community.
Ironically, those faithful to the software don't seem particularly angry that the company is charging for a premium version. Instead, they seem to disagree with the developer's choice of adding unnecessary features. Many subscribe to the "less is more" philosophy and uTorrent originally rose to stardom for maintaining a trim waistline. While most of the extras are limited to the paid software, some have trickled down to the free version.
Anyone can install a free copy of uTorrent 3.1, which has also been released this week and now includes an integrated standard definition media player as well as drag-and-drop file shifting to other devices, such as a game console or smartphone. We imagine the new features are largely out of the way and don't consume much in terms of system resources, but folks seeking greener pastures might want to try Deluge, qBittorrent or Tixati.

Got something to say? Post a comment-
Here comes more bloat
rtorrent FTW!
i wonder if utorrent will support donwloading of pirated utorrent plus. :)
So uTorrent is working on becoming more bloated that Vuze/Azureus? :P.
i think they should keep utorrent bare; no apps or anything. since bittorrent is pretty much the same, it have the free apps or the build in what ever and the plus paid feature. so utorrent stay tiny and simple.
I quit using torrents a long time ago, MegaUpload and Rapidshare premium accounts are so much faster. Unlimited bandwidth, and I get my full download speed of eight megabytes per second.
Torrents blow, warez ftw
Warez.. dude thats so 2005... go home..
So 2005? Well I joined in 2008 and it's still alive and kickin. When I say warez that's just the main place where I find my MU and RS links. Tons faster than torrents and are tons more consistent and don't have to depend on seeders. Torrents are so last century.
This is funny!!!
Paying for an application to pirate downloads they don't want to pay for.
I am selling crked copies of uTorrent Plus at a discounted rate...get them while they are hot...FAIL!
People don't like to pay for things.

The Sharks defence was uncompromising through the initial stages, rattling the home team with some jarring tackles courtesy of No.8 Ryan Kankowski, a menace from the outset, flankers Marcell Coetzee and Keegan Daniel and the front brother Jannie and Bismarck du Plessis.
The Chiefs finally broke the shackles in the 18th minute after a chip kick from first five-eighths Aaron Cruden which caught fullback Pat Lambie in two minds. The ball rebounded from Lambie to centre Andrew Horrell and he carried play forward. It was moved back to the right where second five-eighths Sonny Bill Williams broke through and linked with fullback Robbie Robinson. He carried play to the line and from the ruck it was moved to the left where right wing Tim Nanai Williams wormed his way between the Du Plessis brothers to go across in the tackle. Cruden added the conversion.
Six minutes later Cruden landed a penalty goal from wide out to negate that which first five-eighths Frederic Michalak landed in the sixth minute to open the scoring.
In the 32nd minute a piece of indiscipline from Jannie du Plessis who punched Chiefs hooker Mahonri Schwalger after referee Steve Walsh had already awarded a penalty to the Sharks saw the penalty reversed and Cruden punished the Sharks further when landing a 45m penalty goal.

The Missouri State Highway Patrol is making an effort to diversify its ranks. Jennifer Davidson has more.
Columbia's Orthodox Christian community is growing – at least, that's what churchgoers say it feels like.
*Clarification: The audio version of this story contains misleading information about the church's connection to the Great Schism of 1054. The church was among five patriarchates dating from the third century, and the schism was a time of separation -- the Roman Church split from the other four -- not a time of origin.
Happy Thanksgiving – that's one holiday greeting you hear at this time of year that's not part of a specific faith tradition.
The idea of giving thanks transcends religious, social and cultural boundaries. Thanks can be expressed in any language or tradition.
And that's just what happened Sunday at an Interfaith Thanksgiving Service. Christians, Muslims and Jews, Baha'is, Buddhists and Hindus, and people from several other faith traditions came together to share. Beliefs and languages converged as sounds of thanksgiving and peace rose through the air.
The 2012 MizzouDiversity Summit ends today after 2 days. The goal was to strengthen the MU identity as a culture that values diversity.
The Chancellor's Diversity Initiative at MU will be conducting new research to improve the climate for diversity on campus. This new phase of the study will use an online survey to reach all members of the community. Project director Roger Worthington says this year's study differs from past version.
