The Secret Circle Review: Road Tripby Carla Day at . Comments
The Secret Circle took a road trip in "Beneath," which lead to an unhappy ending for all.
Not only does Cassie have a special power (not convinced yet that it's dark magic) that allows her to do individual magic, but she is quite the guy magnet. Faye and Diana don't seem to stand a chance with any male as long as Cassie is around. She has Adam and Jake swooning, even if they don't realize it.
Truth and Dare is a dangerous game. It backfired on both Faye and Diana when Cassie kissed Jake. It was surprisingly passionate, too, considering the circumstances. The look on Adam's face... ouch. You'd think he turned away from a beheading or worse.
Cassie and Jake have a spark when they are together; I wouldn't mind them hooking up... except for the whole trying to kill her thing. I'd like to think he'll turn on the Witch Hunters to protect his crush, but I don't think it will be easy or even possible for him to do so. Cassie is no longer just a witch to him - she is a human being, a person. Plus, they have shared magic and are in the same circle, is it even possible for him to kill her?
While I see a connection between Cassie and Jake, it looks like Adam is officially available now that Diana has dumped him. Again. After Adam's reaction to Cassie's smooch, I don't blame her at all. She was very mature in her reasoning. They do need to see what it is like to be without the other; they are so young. Given Adam's family life, I think he was trying to hold on to the one stable person in his life, his rock.
He loves Diana, but he also has feelings for Cassie that he can't control. Whether Adam and Cassie are fated to be together or not, they have an uncontrollable attraction. With the reference to Adam possibly having dark magic, too, perhaps they have a magical connection beyond their knowledge.
Speaking of a magical connection, Faye's grandfather was able to reach beyond his death to communicate with Faye and Cassie. Was there a connection between the two girls or was Cassie able to see young Faye because of her unique power? Regardless, there has definitely been something triggered within Cassie and possibly the entire circle.
The scene at the lake with Faye, following immediately by Cassie seeing a young Faye and putting her hands in to reveal Henry's body, was beautifully written and shot. The tension was real. The shift in Cassie as she walked down the pier and touched the lake was actually a bit frightening. That was the moment I first thought that maybe it was dark magic within her.
Chance Harbor is a scary place to live right now. Death is all around. With one Elder gone and another under a spell, who will protect the circle? Are Charles and Dawn up to the task, or are they consumed with their quest for power that they won't be able to help their children?

These people are like the planeteers from Captain Planet. Melissa would probably be the kid with the 'heart' power. She never really stars in any episode, but one without her feels grimy. Hope they don't do the Bonnie on her is all I'm saying. Charles makes a return to being the HBIC, but i don't feel good about it. After he killed nick i kinda want him to die... Who's this dude acting as Adam? Didn't notice it in the first episodes but away from Cassie, the character is starting to flesh out really well. Good actor. The guy doing Adam and the girl doing Melissa really bring a nice professional feel to it. Hope they get decent stuff to do when TSC is done. Faye... for all i liked her in the beginning, she's real starting to chafe now. 9 episodes in and it just sunk in that this series is going to be "Cassie World" same way that vamp D ended up "Elena and friends" but Cass is starting to grow on me a little. Jake - kill him now... Question - don't know if this is in the books or if i missed it, but since Cassie's family and Adam's family are written in the stars, how are the other 4 members of the circle fit up? It doesn't make sense for anything to be written in the stars unless there's a 1:1 boys:girls. Or is the written in the stars thing not witch or circle specific? Just random soulmate stuff? Adam's dad kinda gave me the impression that the circle pairs off itself. Or is all that just bullshit?
First off, I really loved this episode! It fleshed out more of the characters and it was dark and creepy. The show does really well with that. Also, loved that Charles is taking charge once more. It's much better than him following Dawn around like he had been before. Nick's death really gave him a spin and it was believable in how they developed his character that way. Charles is messing with Grandma Jane though, and I don't like that! Leave Grandma alone, sir. Does anyone notice how different Charles can be in character when he has power compared to when he doesn't? It's truly incredible how his character plays out like that. He may not be a big bad now (we actually haven't seen Mr. Big Bad yet as far as Andrew Miller says), but I can see him as one later on. I'm officially on board with Cassie and Jake. I know he's trying to kill them, but I think in the next episode this Thursday, he's going to have to make a choice as it seems he's really falling for her. He literally had to push himself away in last night's episode when they kissed for a second time. Diana and Adam's relationship is SO real and their chemistry has really progressed. When they first had their sex scene in Episode 5 ("Slither") I felt no chemistry and it felt out of place. This time though, for one, it caught me by surprise, but secondly it really had a lot of chemistry. The break up between Adam and Diana was a very good decision. It really allows for them to grow and when / if they do get back together, it'll be not only believable, but fans and viewers will know how much they had to go through to get there once more. Phoebe Tonking (Faye) was on her A-Game in this episode. Britt Robertson was right when she said this episode really showcased Phoebe's character. I felt like I got to know more about her, and although I've always liked her since the start, she grew onto me even more so than before. I also felt really sorry for her at the end. To know she shared such a strong relationship with her grandfather and that her own mother was the one that murdered him (and Faye doesn't know it yet) really makes me hate Dawn even more. That leads me to another thing. I predict there will be a BIG blowout between the parents and the circle when all these secrets are revealed. Sure, Dawn and Charles are the only ones who actually know what they did, but this is television, and nothing is kept a secret forever. Lastly, one thing I truly love about this show is how REAL everything is portrayed. The relationships, the characters, everything that goes on can be related to by real people who can say they've experienced the same situation or know how they feel. Some can actually say, "Yes, that has happened to me before!" You know? For a supernatural / fantasy show, it does an excellent job at keeping itself real. Nothing is ever overly exaggerated like how some other television shows make them out to be. Alas, next week is the mid-season finale ("Balcoin") until the show returns on January 5th next year (Same day, same time) and it is looking to be GOOD. Who knows what sort of cliffhanger they're going to leave us with. To say the least, it will definitely be a must-see episode. Although, every episode is a must-see for me!
Loved this episode.i liked how Cassie could see young faye to.i also likes how Charles wouldn't give dawn the crystal which I think is good because I don't really trust her.o wonder if Jane will get her memory back.when Cassie put her hands in the water and then Faye's grandfathers body came up was kinda scary.i thought the thing with young faye leaving the boots and screaming was kinda creepy especially when Faye was the only one that could see her.i want jake to switch sides and help the circle fight the witch hunter instead of trying to kill everyone in the circle.i also hope that jake and Cassie get together soon and actually start dating.
I loved the episode. Cant stand Faye.
I like Cassie. I really do, and the one flaw is that it's both awesome and annoying that Cassie is the "perfect" one. She has the powers that she didn't realize she possessed, she has guys fawning over her that she at times seems oblivious too, she's a special girl. It's part of why I like her, but it's a bit annoying too that they seem to put so much into just her as a character when they could try to distribute around some of the "awesome stuff" so to speak. I could actually see why Faye would be so irritated with her, and the fact that Cassie doesn't ever seem flustered by that makes it all the more annoying at times. LOL I loved how Diana and Adam handle their relatinship. It's more believable now then it ever was and it makes you truly feel for both sides. Diana is the only stable thing that Adam has and the thought of her being able to live her life w/o him when he kind of can't do the same is heartbreaking, but love that Diana knows that it's healthy for them both to be apart to know if it's really meant to be. Charles is back to being a bit more badass and I like it. He did make some glaring errors though. And Jake is back to being confusing as a character.
Faye was so hot, wet and naked. Thank you, Pheobe Tonkin. Charles was seriously creepy and maybe insane in this episode. Loved the scene between Charles and Dawn at the clubhouse--Dawn looked frightened when he put his hand on her shoulder, and she should be. Who knows what he'll do next, now that he has a crystal. Also, Gale Harold is incredibly hot when he's being all BAMF. I'm glad Diana stuck by her decision that they are over. She deserves someone who is in love with her, and not just holding on to her because she's the only sane person in his life. The scene where Faye loses it at the water, and then Cassie sees the little girl at the end of the pier was totally eerie. Loved it.
O MY GOD CAKE, I CAN'T EVEN .. They are on fire, literally.
1. Jake/Cassie's smooching and magic-sharing moment were perfect, so passionate and intense too.
2. She used her dark power to find Henry's body!
i really like this Cassie,she's more and more confident in using power, esp her dark power. with Jake, she does magic things way better, more controllable than with Adam. she felt relaxed when using it.more importantly, Jake and Cassie get better understanding now. that's so cool! would Jake tell the truth to Cassie or do what he was told "kill her" and Cassie keep exploring her dark power as well as her feelings for Jake?
It was a really dark episode, and I love it!
Faye being jealous of Cassie is really nice, shows some insecurity. But why would such a sexy and beautiful girl be insecure! but no one is perfect! Going after Cassie is cute but for now U can't hurt her! The girl is probably a sign from her Dad!
Charles and Dawn! they are really lost and there plans don't go the right way! First Nick is gone and now the are going cutthroat! But it makes them unpredictable! They are walking on a tiny little line between heroes and vilians!
The truth and Dare game, was well planned and put the cards down! Truth isn't there for playing!
Adam Ohhhh u sweet boy! I'm still angry Thomas is playing him, I miss the edge they are trying to pull of with him! Running after Dianna is already getting lame, hope he stops soon! The rage sex BOORING, the worst one done in TV history! But I see FAdam on the horizont!
Cassie! She is just a troubled girl who stands up for her when she needs! The lake scene was done perfectly and concluded the story just amazing!
Jake he is a sunny boy and he really grow to me! There are 2 solutions he can be turned good or die( either saving the others or like a killer)! I think he will move on cause he has a career in movies and this is just a short turn gig! Cause he needs to die so the circle gets out of balance.
PS. I really missed Melissa, and her truthful way of acting!
Charles screwed up: 1. Henry's ghost 2. He leaves Henry in the house. 3 He leaves Jane's scarf in the house. Poor Faye. Cassie didn't have her crystal in the boathouse last episode and we never saw a crystal this episode, so I'd guess she used dark magic to find Henry. I wonder who else Faye slept with. I didn't miss Melissa.

Hole in Our Holiness: Filling the Gap Between Gospel Passion and the Pursuit of Godliness
Publisher's Description
The hole in our holiness is that we don't seem to care much about holiness. Or, at the very least, we don't understand it. And we all have our reasons too: Maybe the pursuit of holiness seems legalistic. Maybe it feels like one more thing to worry about in your already overwhelming life. Maybe the emphasis on effort in the Christian life appears unspiritual. Or maybe you've been trying really hard to be holy and it's just not working! Whatever the case, the problem is clear: too few Christians look like Christ and too many don't seem all that concerned about it.
This is a book for those of us who are ready to take holiness seriously, ready to be more like Jesus, ready to live in light of the grace that produces godliness. This is a book about God's power to help us grow in personal holiness and to enjoy the process of transformation.

Who may apply?
Authors of papers in art history are eligible for Kress grants; they are awarded based on demonstrated need to art historians who lack sufficient travel funds. RSA travel grants are awarded in all disciplines. They support graduate students as well as degree holders without either a tenured or tenure-track position. Application is limited to scholars presenting their research; session organizers, chairs, respondents, or roundtable participants will not be considered for funding.
When are grants awarded?
RSA committees reviewed all applications, and submitted a list of Kress candidates to the Kress Foundation for further review. Upon receiving good news from the Kress Foundation, RSA announced travel grant decisions in November.
Acceptance and Commitment
Accepted participants or their sponsoring institution/organization must plan to fund their own travel and lodging expenses in addition to the membership and conference fees. The registration fee is used to pay for conference facilities and events, audio-visual expenses, receptions, printed and electronic program materials, and the year-round staffing needed to produce the conference. Because these expenses are incurred all year long, the registration fee is not refundable.
Acceptance to the conference is a commitment to attend. If you are accepted to the conference but find that you are in fact unable to participate, you are obliged to inform both the organizer of your session and RSA as soon as possible, and no later than the registration deadline. To withdraw from the conference after the registration deadline, except in cases of emergency, is discourteous to your colleagues and is considered unacceptable by RSA. If you cannot attend the conference, your paper may not be read by someone else and you will not be listed in the program.

Host defense mechanisms against tumors as the principal targets of tumor promoters

There is now evidence that tumor-promoting agents can interfere with natural cellular defense mechanisms at diverse developmental and functional levels, resulting in various, partly opposite consequences. Such findings are in keeping with the concept that tumor promoters interfere with the formation and growth of tumors by promoting cell transformation and by stimulating the multiplication and functional capacities of transformed cells on the one hand, and on the other by interfering with key cellular effector systems involved in the host's antitumor defense.

The Asus Padfone: Does it make sense?
But we have to mention that the Padfone we saw announced at Computex was far from a final unit. Still an early mockup, the Padfone is set to arrive in its full twin glory at the end of the year. So our comments are more on the idea than on the real product. It's not groundbreakingly novel – Motorola was the first to bring the chassis in a notebook form with its Laptop Dock for the Motorola Atrix 4G, but price was the major stumbling point there. Will Asus, however, be able to materialize its concept?
wastefully expensive.
You can still use the phone's camera when it's inside the tablet chassis further cutting the cost of the combo
Does that mean that we don't want a tablet? Not at all – having some ten inches of screen estate is a luxury which has basically created a new segment. But still striking a perfect balance would involve having less of that repetitive silicon and monthly fees, while maintaining functionality. That's why Asus is right on the money with its idea which presumably puts the single processor of the smartphone to use in two devices and leverages your smartphone Internet service to your tablet.
That's as close as it gets to killing two birds with one stone, but some cons are inevitable. What about the likely scenario when your phone rings and you're using the tablet? Asus is still to address those issues, but, finally, it's the yet undetermined price point that will define the Padfone. The Eee series of netbooks back in 2007 kickstarted the netbook craze with something more than functionality – an unmatched price tag. Asus seems to have nailed it once again with its Eee PC X101, a netbook for just $199. And that's what we find truly irresistible about the company. Will it manage to seduce us with the price of its Padfone? We would certainly keep a close watch.

Although I think that the newest onslaught of tablets are really cool, I personally haven't found a use for them in my everyday life, and it just seems like an exorbitant luxury. The PadFone is probably the one idea that has made me reconsider that notion. The ability to use my existing cell phone data plan on a tablet, and extend the functionality of my mobile device is a really intriguing notion. If the ASUS Padfone has tmobile 3g frequency support and retails for $650 or under I will pre-order one ASAP.

me too! this is the perfect gadget for us all! if u want a tablet, just simply insert the phone into the tablet body then BOOOM! you have a tablet. no separate SIM cards means no separate bills which in turns saves data charges! too smart asus! i have another reason to wait. haha competition really rocks!
32. Firedrops (Posts: 215; Member since: 06 Sep 2011)
I agree. At first, I was rather skeptical of this idea, and even thought of it as just a marketing gimmick, but after re-considering, I realized that this is just the thing I need. However, I can't help but fear that only a very very limited number of mobiles will be compatible with this pad.

Tablets are not practical for everyday long-hour usage. I think the form factor of the laptop is more suitable. The combo of Motorola Atrix & its laptop dock, therfore, seems more practical than the combo above. This ain't gonna work.
4. gescalona (Posts: 9; Member since: 04 Apr 2011)
I like the idea if the phone is powerfull, but no flash... that's a problem for me!
5. Madog (unregistered)
It's a cool choice, that's what I love about Android.
6. ArmageddonX (Posts: 96; Member since: 11 May 2011)
I don't think this is the perfection of this idea, but I love the idea. I would really like to be able to carry around once device that could function as my phone & tablet. Maybe a 10inch Tablet with a Bluetooth Headset for calls? I would love that.
7. cc16177 (Posts: 312; Member since: 09 May 2010)
I agree.If I could get a tablet I could use a bluetooth with for calls I would ditch my TB in a sec...
21. Taharin (unregistered)
Well, if you're really interested in the idea there are two devices which could be used.
The HTC Flyer and the Galaxy Tab. Both 7in Tablets 'can' have the Gingerbread OS, which has built in support for both phone calls, SMS and video calls. HTC Flyer comes stock with Gingerbread, Galaxy Tab has to be updated; I use a Galaxy Tab with Gingerbread and it is amazing to be able to make calls with it. A 7in screen on a Tablet faster than 90% of the phones, voice capable. Gingerbread also permits for Netflix streaming.
Find yourself the right pair of Bluetooth headphones and you're golden.

its a great Idea and we may see more of it since Google bought and interesting protect we may see as the future
9. Jano (unregistered)
My answer is definitely : Yes, it does make sense, at least for me! I had this idea for a while. it would be a great help for me, for sure. I have been waiting for any company to pick up this idea for a very long time, and finally here it goes :) I just can't wait it :)
10. tbar (Posts: 34; Member since: 18 Jan 2010)
For quite a while, I've been thinking I just need a phone with NFC that I can lay on my desk and connect to monitors, a keyboard and mouse wirelessly. That would even negate the need for my desktop computer. With the processors phones have now, that is certainly feasible. This is really just another direction for the same concept. I love the idea of having a tablet without another required data plan (which is ridiculous (I have an unlimited data plan, so I should be able to tether without additoinal costs, but that's another story). So, now I'm thinking I could have this type of combo device with NFC and still do what I want. Now we just need options to do this with iOS and WP7.
11. nb2six (Posts: 298; Member since: 27 Apr 2011)
this is one of the first steps in which the manufacturer is building something that is truly beneficial for the consumer not the carrier. This eliminates the need of having to add a extra data package to a plan in order to operate another device. ASUS you've got my vote!!
14. atrain1385 (Posts: 10; Member since: 02 Jun 2011)
i agree totally hopefully this will catch on with other companies people like simple and flexable not redudant and static
12. android_hitman (Posts: 670; Member since: 07 Jul 2010)
the question is:
does it make sense that apple didn't came up with this idea???
i love this new gagdet and i will buy it... mainly just because it's android and not apple ..
yes yes i know... i am an apple basher :P
15. Hello-dirt (Posts: 102; Member since: 02 May 2010)
I hope they team up with the big guys to allow more phones than just their Asus phones to connect to the Padfone. It would be awesome to see this as an accessory for any dualcore phone such as the GSII, Sensation, or...I do not think Motorola will happily adopt due to competition with their overpriced dock. I'm imagining walking into my respective cell shop looking to upgrade or buy a phone and picking up one of Asus's docks for an extra $200 w/out any contract...what a dream it would be!
16. Thump3rDX17 (Posts: 2160; Member since: 10 May 2010)
it's a good idea, i'd jump on if ASUS and Google does this right, i'd like it better if it were like Compufon's concept which subtracts the door and makes an adequately large enough slot to just slide the phone into with the Micro USB and HDMI connectors plugging in at the bottom of the phone and a hole in the front for the phone's front facing camera to peek out and then Google would have to make the experience good enough with Ice Cream Sandwich or otherwise i'd just soon go with Motorola's Webtop experience.
17. remixfa (Posts: 14165; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
personally, i love the idea. Now if they could somehow make it compatable with more than just the asus phone, that would help their sales a bit.
What I would love even better is if this tablet was compatable with their transformer keyboard dock as well
phone + tablet + keyboard = ultimate versatility.

your keyboard thought may very well be what they have in store, it makes all the sense in the world.

if they dont, i think its a huge missed opportunity since they already have the set up ready to go.

I think it makes perfect sense and that Samsung should seriously consider making something like it for their Galaxy S2 phone.
I personally don't see much use for a standalone tablet as a smart phone can do the same job but just in a more compact form.
However, I would definitely consider an add on device such as the ATRIX laptop dock or even better the PadFone pad which simply lets me hook up my phone to for longer usage and more viewing area as I tend to travel alot and plane journeys can be a bit boring.
A standalone pad would make just my life more complicated where as I'd have to transfer files here and there, or forever sync data between devices.
I've already given up on laptops because of all the transferring and frankly haven't missed it either.

Love it, but buying the ep121, if only the ep121 had this functionality plus docking to a computer that could have upgraded graphics, then life would be bliss and perfect, although not an asus fan boy (I was actually trying to move all to lenovo), I can see they bring out the goods (hardware) continuously.... if only they can bring out a fucking site to easily update it all (drivers and utility's) with + software that is not bloatware...... your great asus, just a couple more steps and you will have me (and I am sure most of the sain world) back whole heartedly.

If they are bundled together and sold together, then you'll sell the concept, too.
Ever see a salesperson at an AT&T store trying to up-sell the Atrix's dock? The most common type of customer response is 'No, I don't really want to pay for all these extras; the phone alone is fine.'

I already have the atrix and the web-laptop experience is slow and utterly useless. If you are going to break something out the size of a laptop then might as well use a laptop with win7 as win7 give you more flexible on the apps that run your daily work life. As for, this idea I like. Sometime I want to just browse the web, read PDF or check email and reply without busting out the lappy and I can just do this on the phone except now I have a bigger screen :D. This I will buy. Tablet are just for web experience only. It was never mean to do daily work.

Interview With JVC Tech Expert About 2012 Projectors
While at CEDIA Expo last week — the trade show and convention for the custom installation industry — HomeTheaterForum.com stopped by the JVC exhibit and interviewed us about our new line of projectors, just announced at the show and slated to be available in November. Four of the new projectors feature JVC's e-Shift Technology, which allows the projectors to display 2D HD content full 4K precision.
Home Theater Magazine Names Two JVC Projectors "Top Picks"
The latest JVC projector reviews come from Home Theater, which recently posted reviews of both the DLA-X3 and DLA-X7, and awarded both "Top Pick" status. The DLA-X7 earned a five-star rating — the highest possible — for "performance," while the DLA-X3 was awarded 4.5 stars for "performance" and a five-star rating for "value".
Here are some excerpts from the DLA-X3 review by Kris Deering:
- "To say I was impressed would be an understatement. JVC has done a phenomenal job in its implementation of 3D with this freshman effort."
- "I can honestly say I'm more impressed with the DLA-X3's 3D performance than any 3D I've ever seen at a commercial theater."
- "With 2D playback, the DLA-X3 was one of the best projectors I've ever used. "
- "In the DLA-X3, it is truly amazing that JVC has been able to improve on their 2D performance and deliver exceptional 3D performance with their freshman effort, all at a price of $4,495."
As for the DLA-X7, reviewer Shane Buettner had this to say:
- "…this projector's 2D performance was subtly but noticeably improved in some important areas compared to my DLA-HD750."
- "The DLA-X7 looked so sharp and detailed, and its 3D effects are so convincing, that it blows away what you'll see from most commercial Digital Cinema 3D."
- "I bought the DLA-X7 as my new reference projector. My money's where my mouth is, and that, dear reader, is the highest recommendation I or anyone else can offer."

2011 Projector Reviews Are Coming In…
The first few reviews of the new JVC Procision Series home theater projectors are out, and the consensus is that the 3D-capable 2011 models continue the series' reputation for outstanding performance.
First up is a review of the DLA-X3 in The Perfect Vision, that notes, "JVC's highly refined D-ILA imaging technology seems ideal for 3D, as this reasonably-priced entry level model delivers an enticing 3D image, along with excellent 2D high resolution imagery." Regarding 3D performance, reviewer David Birch-Jones says, "The 3D image quality is comparable to that provided by the best 3D plasma HDTV flat panel sets out there (and better than what you'd experience in a commercial movie theater with typical passive polarized 3D glasses)…"
For a video review of the DLA-X3, check out the segment below on the internet TV tech show, Tekzilla. They were impressed with the projector's image quality and ease of setup.
Meanwhile, Sound +Vision magazine has reviewed the DLA-X7. Reviewer Geoffrey Morrison concludes his review with these words: "The JVC DLA-X7 is a staggeringly good projector. Its black level is among the best regardless of technology, but most important, this black level is achieved while simultaneously giving off bright whites. The resulting contrast ratio is hopelessly habit-forming and puts nearly all other displays to shame."
For more details on the 2011 JVC Procision projectors, read the press release here.
More Reviews of the GS-TD1 Consumer 3D Camcorder
National newspaper USA Today and enthusiast website Camcorderinfo.com have both recently published reviews of the new JVC GS-TD1, the world's first available full HD 3D consumer camcorder.
Ed Baig of USA Today called it a "first rate and flexible camcorder that can produce videos practically guaranteed to give you a rise" and says that he shot "delightful 3D footage of my family." Read his impressions here.
Camcorderinfo.com did its typically exhaustive evaluation of the GS-TD1. They say that they're "impressed" with the camcorder, and note, "You can have plenty of fun shooting 3D clips and the TD1 makes it simple." Read the Camcorderinfo.com review here.
First Review of New Consumer 3D Camcorder
Tech website Digital Trends has posted the first U.S. review of the new JVC GS-TD1 3D camcorder — the first Full HD 3D camcorder for consumers to go on sale. It earned a score of 8 out of 10. Reviewer David Elrich was "knocked out" by the 3D images, noting, "The depth of the 3D was terrific and the colors were very accurate." Read the full review here.

The Perfect Vision Takes A Close Look At The TeleDock LCD TV
A review in The Perfect Vision of a JVC TeleDock TV concludes, "If you're an iPod or iPhone fan, then the JVC TeleDock TV could be just the ticket for you."
The review, by David Birch-Jones, is of the JVC LT-46P510, the 46-inch model in the TeleDock line of LCD TVs, each of which features a built-in iPod dock. Following some adjustments of the default picture settings, the reviewer found that the set delivers "believable natural skin tones", blacks that are "quite good" and a "very good rendition of shadow detail." As for the iPod docking feature, Birch-Jones said, "Operation couldn't be more straightforward."

Digital Trends Reviews the Everio GZ-HM1
Digital Trends has reviewed the Everio GZ-HM1, the top-of-the-line Everio.Reviewer David Elrich scored it an 8 out of 10, and was very impressed with the camera's image quality — "The movies were top notch with trees showing excellent, deep greens and flowers just the right amount of yellow, pink and red. Clips taken at the beach were also spot-on with beautiful wave reflections, accurate skies and colorful outfits on cyclists." He also praised its low-light performance.
Here are his "Highs" and "Lows":
- Outstanding video quality
- Built-in 64GB flash memory
- Very good stills
- Superior image stabilization system
- Good low-light shooting
- Expensive, definitely not a Flip
- LCD screen should be larger and better
- Still don't like the Laser Touch interface
- Eats batteries
- Clunky accessory adaptor system
- Doesn't accept SDXC cards

Tech Blog Reviews Black Series Headphones

The headphones were also found to be comfortable to wear over an extended period thanks in part to their low weight. The review concludes by stating that "you're getting plenty of audio quality for your money."

TH-BA1 Soundbar Reviewed
The website BigPictureBigSound recently posted a review of the JVC TH-BA1 soundbar home theater system. They found a lot to like, giving the system an overall rating of three stars out of a possible four.
What did they like? Sound quality, simple to set up and use, the convenience of the wireless subwoofer, controls and the easy adjustment of the center channel volume level. They would have liked it even more if it offered an HDMI input and a more eye-catching design, and in their opinion the bass performance could be improved a bit, but the reviewer qualifies that comment by noting the system's very reasonable price. Overall, they consider the TH-BA1 to be a real value. Read the complete review here.

that you're walking around with your friends in your favorite mall. All
of a sudden someone approaches you, saying they think you could be a model.
You have the "look" they are searching for. They give you a business
card, and you begin thinking about the fame, fortune, and glamour of being a
professional model. Stop! Though some successful models have been discovered
in places like malls, most agents working the malls are phonies and should be
• Think carefully about how you were approached. If in a busy area, think how many others were told they also have the "look".
• If you are handed something to sign, make sure you read and understand it first.
• Stay away from modeling agencies that require you to use a specific photographer. You should be able to compare the fees and the work quality of several photographers.
• Get all promises in writing, including promises made orally.
• Be wary of companies that only accept payment in cash or by money order. This usually indicates they're more interested in your money than your career.
• Be cautious if the agency has a relationship with a specific modeling school. The two could be splitting your fees.
• If the agency says it has placed models in specific jobs, then contact the company to verify that they've actually hired models from that agency.
• Check with the Better Business Bureau to see if there are any unresolved consumer complaints on file about the agency.
Real beauty comes from within, so use common

i am on Edge of seat...

2 periods ago i was in the 'every sign means i am pregnant' then when af showed up exactly on time, certainly i was disappointed.
this last perios i was pretty bumbed and didnt even concern myself about 'signs' and just waited for it to come, and sure enough, it came exactly on schedule.
this is a small good sign because for awhile my af was laste every month due to stress, so at least i knew i was back on schedule.
my dh and i oulled out all stops and tips and tricks this last month-sit on a pillow, hips up for 20mins-haha. sex everyday, twice daily-my dh actually was tired. haha
i started off the tww without worrying, but then ibut couldn't help myself. i felt differently though no unusual symptoms. my boobs were sore as usual, crwamy cm all the time didnt mean anything with me as i tend not to dry up... but still i started just thinking more about wanting this to be it- weve been tryign al,ost all year so its about time.
well, my af was due yesterday but to get my mind off of it, i told myself that its due today. it hasnt come yet. sometimes i can see it arriving before it axtually starts to flow- sorry tmi- and so far, no sign.
so technically im 1.5 days late. im trying to be strong and not take a test. i am afraid of what it might say. if i get my af tonight or tomo then i woulda wasted a test haha
I am nervous when I go to the bathroom because maybe it will show up. How mean af would be if it arrives late! Esp. Since its been on time past few months. I just keep positive and hold my breath. I know I can end this by taking a test but I just can't face it just yet if its negative. Everyone around me at work is getting pregnant.ive been OK in the past months when it came but idk about this month. I'm going to upset. It means I have to go see a fertility doctor to figure out why I'm not getting pregnant. Its just getting too long trying since Jan. Why would af be so cruel to me to be late. That would just be so upsetting. I mean, other months I had my hopes up only for them to be knocked down because af arrived right on time. But to anticipate and wait-the long 2ww wait and it doesn't come... well now I'm in limbo.. I made it barely through the 2ww and now I'm still waiting. How many were waiting and af wound up just being late instead of being pregnant? Maybe that will help me figure out what's to be expected.
|Tue, 09-11-2012 - 2:43am
NOOOOOO!!!!...... i was so rooting for you. How do you feel about going to the Dr? How does your Dh feel about it?
And for the record AF is a b*tch! :/

This step by step guide outlines the major steps to take to created
an automated backup solution for Ozeki NG SMS Gateway. Backing up the
system involves copying the contents of the Ozeki NG directory
mkdir C:\backup
To create an automated backup procedure a dos batch file should be created.
In this batch file the first thing to do is to stop the Ozeki NG service. This
can be performed by issuing the net stop command. After the service has been
stopped, the contents of the Ozeki NG directory should be copied to the backup
directory. A new backup directory should be created for each day. The name of the
backup directory can be the date itself. You can use the following DOS command
to create the directory name:
FOR /F "tokens=2,3,4 delims=/- " %a in ("%DATE%") do set CDATE=%c%a%b
net stop OzekiNG
FOR /F "tokens=2,3,4 delims=/- " %%a in ("%DATE%") do set CDATE=%%c%%a%%b
set DESTDIR=C:\backup\%CDATE%
mkdir %DESTDIR%
xcopy /E "C:\Program Files\Ozeki\OzekiNG - SMS Gateway" %DESTDIR%
net start OzekiNG
After you have created the batch file, you can use the windows task scheduler
to execute it at the end of each day.

Yesterday I had the blues. Those kind of blues that can come from the everyday stresses and strains of life piling up. I just felt like staying in bed. I hated the feeling.
Then I thought to myself, "What good are my character strengths if I can't use them to get rid of this feeling. They are supposed to be tools I can deploy to make me feel good, but hear I lie stuck in the blues." And so, another thing piled onto my list of disappointments and frustrations and I sunk deeper into the mattress.
Eventually my dog had enough of this lying around and wanted to go out. So, I dragged myself up and went outside with him. My question about my character strengths kept nagging me until finally I had a comforting realization that I knew I could count on my character strengths to pull me through these blues. I didn't know how or when exactly, but I knew that I possessed these character strengths and that when they were in motion I tended to feel good. At some point I knew they would kick into action and I would feel better. That realization in itself lifted a certain load. These blues that had grabbed ahold of me were not here to stay. They would pass.

Early snow kills thousands of cattle
|Crews shoveled snow off the roof of First Interstate Bank in Spearfish,S.D. on Monday afternoon, Oct. 7, 2013. Heavy, wet snow caused businesses and residents problems during the early October blizzard which left over 10,000 people still without power. (AP Photo/Rapid City Journal, Kristina Barker)
PIERRE, S.D. — A record-breaking storm that dumped 4 feet of snow in parts of western South Dakota left ranchers dealing with heavy losses, in some cases perhaps up to half their herds, as they assess how many of their cattle died during the unseasonably early blizzard.

Ethiopians join Filipinos to seek amnesty in UAE
Hundreds of amnesty seekers have poured into the Philippine consulate and the Consulate-General of Ethiopia on the first day of the two-month amnesty programme for illegal residents.
Filipino Cherry R. said she resigned from her job upon the demands of her company when she ran into trouble with several banks for delinquent accounts. "I wanted to leave the UAE but I was informed by a friend, who went to check with the police and the immigration on my behalf, that two banks had imposed a travel ban. Even at the time my father died, I could not go home. This amnesty is a great opportunity for me to go home or to legitimise my status," she said.
Cherry and her friend Hijasmine were among the hundreds of Filipino amnesty seekers, who reached the Philippine Overseas Labour Office (POLO) of the consulate to signify intention to avail themselves of the fourth cycle of amnesty.
"I ran away from my employer five years ago due to maltreatment, lack of rest and insufficient food. I wanted to go home but my employers filed absconding case against me. So, I will take advantage of this amnesty programme," Hijasmine said.
Susan E. has also been seeking for amnesty. "I have long wanted to go home and see my family. But, since the day I ran away after my employers failed to give me my salary, I had been trying to fend myself by doing part-time jobs for almost four years. I could not leave the UAE as the employers reported me to the police."
More than 200 amnesty seekers reached POLO to inquire about the process and seek assistance.
Consul-General Frank R. Cimafranca made an appeal to all Filipino organisations in Dubai to assist the needy in getting air tickets during the amnesty period. "Let us all join hands and give our "kababayans" an advance Christmas gift by extending them assistance in securing air tickets to be home for Christmas."
The Consul-General said a request can be put forward to the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) for funds to acquire air tickets but it might take time. On absconding cases, he said that the consulate needs more information from amnesty seekers as absconding involves breach of contract. Philippine Ambassador Grace R. Princesa said the embassy will seek clarification from the Ministry of Interior on various issues in the amnesty package to better serve the needy.
"We still have to verify what we read in the papers about the 'no ban' issue," the ambassador said.
At the Ethiopian Consulate-General, Fananesh A. said she has been illegally staying in the UAE for five years, and though she wanted to go home, she could not go back due to travel ban from banks. "With this amnesty, I am looking forward to seeing my family again."
Her friend Abenet S. was absconding from her employer, which stopped her from leaving the country. "My father died and that day I cried for days because I could not go home. I felt I was put in a cage. Now is my time to go. Thanks to the UAE government."
Many Ethiopians have also come forward but no official figures have been released as yet.

Ssssst! Sandy Beach
There's room to spread out along the half-mile of fine sand and rolling breakers at Sandy Beach, which lures frisky teens and college kdis from Metro Honolulu to bodyboard, hook up, baste the tan, and trumpet car stereos. On sunny weekends, when the conditions are prime, the place amps. Bring your own shade, or retreat from the scene to the north end of the beach where grass and a few trees add to the tranquility. Next stop up the coast (a coastal walk from the far end of Sandy) is Irma's, which also draws surfers, but is more known for its tidepools.
For the current surf forecast, conditions, forum and photos go to SwellInfo.
